A Permanent Exterior Solution for Superior Longevity
Metal roofing is the preferred choice for property owners in Erie, Chautauqua, and Warren Counties who prioritize longevity, energy efficiency, and rugged durability. At DT Hostetler’s Construction, we specialize in high-caliber metal installations engineered to perform for half a century. As a father-and-son, Amish-owned local business, we merge the focused technical demands of modern metalwork with the traditional, meticulous oversight that defines the Hostetler Standard.
Our Specialized Metal Services
- Standing Seam Roofing: The ultimate residential upgrade, utilizing hidden fasteners for a seamless, ultra-modern look and unparalleled weather resistance.
- High-End Ribbed Panels: Utilizing Sherwin-Williams finishes and ZXL Woodbinder hardware to guarantee a leak-proof seal against the elements.
- On-Site Custom Flashing: We hand-bend our own trim and flashing to ensure every transition—from valleys to chimneys—is structurally sound and visually sharp.
- Lake-Effect Snow Guards: A necessity for our region; we install color-matched guards to manage heavy snow loads and protect your gutters and landscaping.

Secure Your Home with a “Lifetime Roof”
While the initial investment in metal is higher than asphalt, the long-term ROI is unmatched in the Great Lakes region. Whether it’s a historic homestead in Clymer or a new build in Fairview, our metal systems provide a definitive answer to the brutal weather cycles of New York and Pennsylvania.
The Advantages of a Hostetler Build
- 50-Year Reliability: Our installations are designed to outlast asphalt shingles by a factor of three, making this the last roof you’ll ever buy.
- Thermal Efficiency: Advanced reflective coatings reject solar heat, significantly reducing your cooling costs during the humid summer months.
- Structural Resilience: Engineered for maximum fire safety and the extreme wind and snow loads common to Northwest PA and Western NY.
- Direct Accountability: We don’t use subcontractors. Dave and Tim oversee every panel and fastener to ensure a flawless result.
The Hostetler Difference: Precision Engineering
Correct metal installation is a technical craft, not just a labor job. We prioritize the engineering details that others overlook:
- Vapor-Rated Underlayment: We utilize premium synthetic barriers designed specifically for metal-to-deck transitions to eliminate moisture issues.
- Thermal Movement Management: Metal moves as temperatures change; our techniques allow the roof to flex without compromising the integrity of the seals.
- Architectural Symmetry: We focus on perfect squaring and vertical alignment to ensure the finished product enhances your home’s curb appeal.
- Comprehensive Debris Sweep: We use industrial-strength magnets to ensure your property is completely free of fasteners and metal fragments.
