When a Mercer roof gives out, the call you make next decides how the next ten or twenty years go. Western Pennsylvania weather puts roofs through a lot. Heavy snow loads in February. Wind events that strip ridge caps off in March. Hailstorms in June that bruise asphalt mats and dent metal panels. Big River Roofing is the Mercer roofing contractor homeowners and business owners across Mercer County trust to handle that full cycle, from full tear-offs and storm repairs to metal panel installs and the small leak fixes that keep a 30-year roof on track to hit its 30 years.
We are based at 2404 E State St in Hermitage, just down PA-62 from Mercer Borough. From our shop to the diamond in downtown Mercer is about a 12-minute drive, which means our crews can be on a Mercer roof for an inspection the same week most of the time, and inside 24 hours when wind or hail leaves a property exposed. Call (724) 877-7380 to talk through a project, request a free roof quote, or schedule a no-obligation inspection.
Big River Roofing provides a complete range of residential and commercial roofing services to homeowners and property owners throughout Mercer. From routine maintenance and targeted repairs to full roof replacements and new installations, every project is handled by a certified, locally based crew that understands the specific demands of this region’s climate and housing stock.
Mercer homes face a demanding climate, and the roofs protecting them need to be built accordingly. Big River Roofing specializes in residential roofing across the county. Every residential project starts with a thorough inspection and ends with a clean, documented final walkthrough.
Whether the job involves a targeted repair, a full system replacement, or new construction installation, the crew follows manufacturer specifications and uses certified materials backed by industry-leading warranty coverage. Mercer homeowners get honest recommendations, written estimates, and no-pressure service from a contractor who is based right here in the county.
Not every roofing problem in Mercer requires a full replacement, and Big River Roofing will always tell you that honestly. Our roof repair service covers the full range of issues that homeowners across encounter, from storm-related damage to age-related component failure.
We handle roof leak detection to trace water back to its actual source rather than patching symptoms, missing shingle replacement after wind events, and structural and sagging roof repair when decking, rafters, or ridge boards have been compromised by long-term moisture or loading. Every repair starts with a documented inspection and a written quote before any work begins.
A new roof installation in Mercer is only as good as the process behind it. Big River Roofing provides roof installation services for both new construction and full system builds on existing homes across the county. As an IKO Craftsman Premier Roofer, Owens Corning Preferred Installer, and CertainTeed Master Shingle Installer, the crew meets the certified installation standards required to unlock each manufacturer’s strongest warranty tiers.
Every installation in Mercer County begins with a thorough decking assessment. Soft spots, rot, and structural issues are corrected before new materials go down. Underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and ventilation are all set to manufacturer specifications. Big River Roofing does not cut corners on the details that determine how long a roof lasts in this climate.
A roof replacement is one of the largest investments a Mercer homeowner will make, and the process matters as much as the materials. Big River Roofing performs full tear-off replacements on homes, removing old materials down to the decking, inspecting every board, and rebuilding the roof system correctly from the ground up. We do not overlay existing shingles.
An overlay hides problems that will cost more to fix later and shortens the life of the new roof. A proper tear-off resets the clock on the entire roof system and gives the homeowner the full expected lifespan out of their investment. Written estimates, clear timelines, and daily cleanup are standard on every replacement project.
Asphalt shingles are the most widely installed roofing material in Mercer, and Big River Roofing installs all three performance tiers as part of its asphalt shingle roofing service. For homeowners completing an asphalt shingle roof replacement, the options include 3-tab shingles for budget-conscious projects, architectural and dimensional shingles for the best balance of performance and value, and luxury and designer shingles for homeowners who want premium curb appeal and the strongest warranty coverage available in the asphalt category. Big River Roofing’s manufacturer certifications ensure every shingle installation qualifies for the enhanced warranty tiers most crews cannot offer.
Metal roofing has become an increasingly popular choice for Mercer homeowners who want a long-term solution that handles the region’s heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, and hail events without the maintenance demands of asphalt. Big River Roofing installs metal roofing systems that last 50 years or more, shed snow naturally without ice dam buildup, and resist wind and hail damage that would compromise a standard shingle roof. The Metal Roofing Alliance reports that metal roofs can reduce cooling costs by up to 25% in warmer months due to their reflective properties, which adds long-term value for Mercer property owners beyond the extended lifespan. Every metal installation is backed by a 40-year limited paint warranty.
Mercer homeowners who want the look of natural slate or cedar shake without the weight, structural demands, or maintenance of those materials have a strong option in Brava Tile composite roofing. Brava Tile is manufactured from a proprietary composite material engineered to replicate the appearance of traditional premium roofing products, and it carries a Class 4 impact resistance rating, the highest available, making it one of the strongest hail-resistant roofing options for Mercer properties.
Brava products are lightweight enough for standard framing without structural reinforcement, backed by a 50-year limited warranty, and available for both new construction and replacement projects.
Gutters protect more than the roofline. When they fail or clog, water backs up against the fascia, runs down exterior walls, and pools around the foundation, creating moisture problems that compound quickly in Mercer’s freeze-thaw conditions. Big River Roofing installs seamless gutters and RainDrop Pro Gutter Guards as part of its gutter installation service.
RainDrop Pro uses a polypropylene mesh design rated to handle over 22 inches of rain per hour, keeping debris out while maintaining full water flow year-round. Pairing gutter installation with a new roof project allows homeowners to address the full exterior water management system in a single mobilization, saving both time and coordination costs.
Siding is the exterior layer that protects a Mercer home from wind-driven rain, moisture intrusion, and the kind of sustained cold that accelerates deterioration in failing materials. When siding cracks, warps, or pulls away from the sheathing, water finds a path into the wall assembly, creating damage that goes well beyond what is visible from the outside.
Big River Roofing provides siding installation services across Mercer, often completing siding work alongside a roof replacement to address the full exterior envelope in a single project. Combining both trades under one contractor eliminates the coordination gaps where water problems commonly start, and gives the homeowner a single point of accountability for the entire exterior.
Mercer sits directly in the path of storm systems that move northeast from Ohio, bringing hail, high winds, and heavy rain that regularly damage roofs across the county. According to NOAA’s Storm Events Database, Pennsylvania averages over 100 hail events per year statewide, with Mercer communities consistently affected.
Big River Roofing provides the full range of storm damage roof repair services, including hail damage roof repair, wind damage roof repair, and insurance claims assistance to guide homeowners through the documentation and filing process. Storm damage is not always visible from the ground. Hail bruising, lifted shingle edges, and compromised flashing all require a professional inspection to identify and document accurately before a claim can be filed successfully.
Every roofing project Big River Roofing completes across Mercer Borough and the surrounding townships follows the same clear sequence from the first call through final documentation. Here is what to expect:
Mercer Borough enforces the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC), which adopts the International Residential Code with state amendments. A reroof on an existing structure is treated as ordinary repair in most cases and does not need a permit, but a few job conditions trigger a permit requirement:
We pull permits on every job that needs one. Pennsylvania’s UCC framework and contractor registration system are administered through the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry, which is the source we follow for code interpretation.

A 1,800 to 2,200 square foot home with a standard pitch takes one to two days. Larger homes, steep slopes, and complex valleys can push to three days. Big River Roofing provides a realistic timeline at the proposal stage, not a sales-pitch number.
Yes, with the right adhesive products and conditions. Cold-weather seal strips need a few warm days to bond after install. Big River Roofing works through Mercer winters when the job cannot wait and is upfront when a project should hold for spring.
Every proposal includes a deck replacement allowance at the contract rate. If damage exceeds the allowance, work stops, the homeowner receives photo documentation, and written approval is obtained before any additional work proceeds.
Look for dings on metal vents and flashing, bruised shingle mats, dented gutters, and granule buildup at downspout outlets. The NOAA Storm Events Database can confirm whether a qualifying hail event was recorded at your address.
Architectural shingle replacements generally run $9,000 to $16,000. Metal roofing starts around $18,000. Rural properties with complex rooflines may run higher. The only accurate way to price your project is a free on-site inspection.
Most standard Pennsylvania policies cover sudden hail, wind, and impact damage but exclude age-related wear. The Pennsylvania Insurance Department has public resources on storm coverage. Contact Big River Roofing for a free inspection before filing to ensure damage is correctly documented.
Architectural shingles deliver the best value for most Mercer owner-occupied homes. Standing seam metal is the best long-term investment for rural properties with open-terrain wind exposure. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends twice-yearly inspections to maximize lifespan regardless of material.
Yes. Big River Roofing is registered as PA HIC #PA169326 under Pennsylvania’s Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act and carries full general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Verification is available before any contract is signed.
Your roof protects everything underneath it. If it’s been a few years since your last inspection, or a recent storm rolled through your area, now is the right time to get a professional set of eyes on it before a small problem becomes a costly one.
Reach out to Big River Roofing and let a certified local contractor give you a straight answer about what your roof needs. No sales pressure, no inflated estimates, just clear information and honest recommendations from a team that has been serving Hermitage and Western Pennsylvania homeowners for 5+ years.
