Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Lancaster's winter weather affect my roof?
Lancaster winters bring freeze-thaw cycles and significant snowfall that can cause ice dams — ridges of ice that form at roof edges and force meltwater up under shingles, leading to interior leaks and wood rot. Proper attic insulation, ventilation, and quality underlayment are the best defenses.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover storm damage in Lancaster?
Many Lancaster homeowners are surprised to learn their policy covers hail and wind damage. Harlan & Sons Roofing can walk you through the claims process, document damage thoroughly, and work directly with your adjuster so you get the coverage you're entitled to.
How soon can you inspect my roof after a storm?
We prioritize storm-damage calls and aim to schedule inspections as quickly as possible after a significant weather event — typically within a few business days. If you've experienced a recent Lancaster-area storm, don't wait; minor damage can worsen quickly.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Lancaster, PA homes?
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for high wind and impact resistance are a popular and cost-effective choice for Lancaster's climate. For added longevity, we also install metal roofing systems that handle snow shedding and temperature swings exceptionally well.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Lancaster?
Most full roof replacements in Lancaster City and Lancaster County municipalities require a building permit. Harlan & Sons Roofing handles the permit application process on your behalf so the job is fully code-compliant from start to finish.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Lancaster?
Most residential roof replacements in the Lancaster area are completed in one to two days, depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the roofline. We'll give you a clear timeline before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
