Macungie still feels like a small town even as the new colonials fill in around it. The borough and the surrounding townships mix 1990s to 2020s two-story homes with older stone farmhouses and Pennsylvania German bank barns, and most of those newer roofs sit on steep pitches where shingles take a beating from freeze-thaw cycles.
Homeowners in 18062 call Allentown Metal Roofing because we know what Macungie weather does to a roof. Between the nor'easters that funnel up the Lehigh Valley, ice dams at the eaves on colder nights, and summer thunderstorms that rattle the oaks and maples along Route 100, we see the same failures repeat: cracked shingle mats, loosened fasteners, and flashing gaps that open up after a hard freeze.
Metal Roofing in Macungie (18062)
Macungie sits in the Lehigh Valley between South Mountain and Blue Mountain, and that geography drives the work. The freeze-thaw cycle here is the real enemy. Water gets into a shingle mat or a fastener hole during a mild afternoon, freezes solid that night, and pushes the material apart a little more each time. On the steep roofs common in Macungie's newer subdivisions, that shows up as lifted shingle tabs and backed-out screws within a decade. On the older stone farmhouses and bank barns out toward the township edges, it shows up as failed flashing at chimneys and valleys where the original detail was never meant to last this long. Tree cover matters too: the oaks, maples, and sycamores drop limbs and fill gutters, and a clogged gutter in January is how ice dams start at the eaves.
We have installed and repaired metal roofing across Macungie and the Allentown area long enough to know which panel profiles suit a steep colonial versus a low-slope porch, and where a retrofit over existing shingles makes sense versus a full tear-off. We are a Metal Roofing Alliance Member, fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, and our crews handle standing seam and snow guards as routine work, not specialties we farm out.

How a Job Works in Macungie
Step 1: You call (610) 600-9879 or request a free estimate, and we schedule an on-site assessment. We walk the roof, check the deck and flashing, look at how the gutters are handling runoff, and talk through what you actually need. You get a written scope and a clear price before anything starts.
Step 2: We handle the work itself, including the details that matter in Macungie. That means coordinating with the local building department on permits, working around HOA design review if your subdivision has one, and planning material staging on tighter borough lots where a dumpster cannot sit in the street for a week. If your home is in a historic district, we confirm the approved panel profile and color before ordering.
Step 3: Cleanup and final walkthrough. We magnet-sweep for fasteners, haul away old material, and walk the finished roof with you so you can see the seams, flashing, and snow guards yourself. We do not consider the job done until you have looked it over and signed off.
Pricing in Macungie depends on roof size, pitch, access, and the condition of the deck underneath. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10, metal roof replacement at $9, and a retrofit over existing shingles at $7. Corrugated and ribbed panel runs about $5.50, while stone-coated steel and metal shingles start around $9. Repairs and leak calls start at $450, screw replacement and re-fastening at $750, and flashing or chimney work at $600. Snow guards and ice protection start at $1,200, and gutters for metal roofs run about $9 per linear foot. Steep pitches, multiple roof planes, and tight lot access add labor, and storm damage work is priced after a free inspection. Call (610) 600-9879 for a free estimate on your specific roof.
