The Hostetler Difference
Two Generations of Amish Craftsmanship
At DT Hostetler’s Construction, building isn’t just a trade; it’s a family legacy rooted in honesty and precision. Dave and Tim Hostetler founded this business on the principle that every structure should be built to outlast the weather. Combining the tireless work ethic of our Amish heritage with premium modern materials, our mission is clear: provide the kind of quality that survives harsh Great Lakes winters and unpredictable state-line weather.
With deep roots in the border region of PA and NY, we understand the specific structural needs of homeowners and businesses across Erie, Chautauqua, and Warren Counties.
Our Service Area
We provide premium metal roofing, siding, pole barns, and custom decks throughout Erie, Chautauqua, and Warren Counties, and all surrounding PA and NY communities.

Permanent Protection for the Tri-County Region
Many homes and agricultural buildings in our region are burdened by aging asphalt shingles that simply cannot handle heavy snow loads and high winds. Dave and Tim Hostetler specialize in transitioning these properties to high-efficiency metal roofing and robust post-frame construction. We understand exactly how standard builder-grade systems fail after decades of exposure, and we provide replacements that solve these structural issues permanently.
Solving the Great Lakes Weather Cycle
The extreme freeze-thaw cycles of Northwest PA and Western NY create a “perfect storm” for exterior failure. Traditional shingles often crack under lake-effect snow or buckle during humid summers. Our metal roofing and siding processes include custom-fit panels and advanced moisture barriers to ensure your home “breathes” in the summer and sheds snow effortlessly in the winter, protecting your investment for decades to come.
Why Homeowners in Erie, Chautauqua & Warren Trust the Hostetlers
- The Metal Advantage: We specialize in standing seam and ribbed metal systems that offer superior durability over standard shingles.
- Engineered for Snow: We ensure your roof and pole barn are engineered to handle heavy lake-effect snow, preventing the structural sagging common in local older builds.
- Traditional Integrity: Dave and Tim Hostetler oversee every job site. We don’t use high-pressure sales—just honest Amish craftsmanship and clear communication.
- Owner-Operated Care: From Clymer to Fairview, our owners are on-site to ensure every panel and fastener meets the Hostetler Standard.
Quality Above All
Because this is our home, we don’t cut corners. DT Hostetler’s Construction backs every project with a 5-Year Workmanship Guarantee and full insurance protection. When you work with us, you aren’t just hiring a contractor; you’re hiring a neighbor with a lifetime of dedication to quality.
The System Behind the Strength
A Hostetler roof or build is a complex shield designed to protect and ventilate. While our metal panels are the beautiful first line of defense, our high-temp underlayments and custom-bent flashing do the heavy lifting in the areas where other systems fail.
Why Metal is King: For properties in the Erie and Chautauqua regions, a properly ventilated metal system is a game-changer. It prevents heat from being trapped in your attic or barn loft, which preserves the structural integrity and lowers energy costs. We specialize in retrofitting ridge vents and soffits to meet the highest modern standards.
