A roof is seldom “just a roof.” It’s also gutters that need to drain properly, a chimney that needs to stay watertight, and skylights that let light in without letting problems in behind them. At MR Roofing, we’ve built our reputation on treating every one of these details with the same craftsmanship we bring to a full roof replacement, because a small oversight in any one of these areas can turn into a costly problem down the line.
Beyond our core roofing services, which include cedar, metal, and asphalt, we offer a full range of complementary services, including gutters, chimney repairs, general repairs and maintenance, roof cleaning, skylight installation and replacement, church roofing, and, through our parent company Stable Hollow Construction, historic barn restoration. Every one of these services is performed by local professionals who we know and trust.
Why Our Craftsmen Make the Difference
Before we walk through each service, it’s worth explaining what sets our team apart. MR Roofing works with local Amish and English craftsmen who are thoroughly trained and take pride in their work. While most of our contractors work directly with our company, we occasionally partner with trusted subcontractors with whom we’ve built longstanding relationships.
This distinction matters because every person working on your roof, gutters, or chimney is expected to meet our standards, is accountable to our team, and brings a level of hands-on craftsmanship that’s become increasingly rare in the industry.
This is also part of why we’ve been able to maintain GAF Master Elite certification, a distinction held by only 2-3% of roofing contractors nationwide, and back our work with a 20-year workmanship guarantee. When the same trained team handles every part of your project, quality control isn’t an afterthought—it’s built into how we operate.
More Than Roofing: Other Services for Homes and Historic Properties
Gutters
Gutters are one of the most functional, yet most neglected, areas of a home’s exterior. A poorly operating gutter system can create chaos during and immediately following a storm. In the long run, it can contribute to foundation problems, a damp basement, siding deterioration, and damage to landscaping.
Properly sized and correctly pitched gutters can make a real difference in how effectively water is directed away from your home. Our team ensures your specific roofline and drainage needs are accounted for rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether we are installing new gutters, cleaning existing ones, or making repairs, we treat gutter projects the same way we do our roofing work.
Chimney Repairs
We all know chimneys have to withstand harsh conditions, including sun, rain, wind, and snow. These fluctuations in weather and temperature can take a toll on mortar, flashing, and masonry over time. If a chimney isn’t properly maintained, it can become a source of water intrusion into your home, since the flashing where the chimney meets the roofline is one of the most common places for leaks to develop.
Our chimney repair services address everything from deteriorating mortar joints and damaged flashing to more significant masonry issues. Because chimney problems can lead to roofing problems, it’s best to work with a team that understands both rather than treating them as separate issues.
Repairs and Maintenance
While some roof failures do call for a total replacement, storm damage, some leaks, and normal wear and tear can often be treated with repairs. You can also significantly prolong the lifespan of your roof through regular roofing maintenance and repairs.
As part of any repair or maintenance visit, MR Roofing does a full inspection, and our job isn’t finished with just what we see on the surface. We’ll go into your attic because many problems, including ventilation, moisture buildup, and minor degradation, can be clearly evident long before they’re detectable on your rooftop.
Cleaning
Roof cleaning is important for more than just looks, though a full cleanup will do wonders for your curb appeal! Algae, moss, and accumulated leaves or debris can trap moisture up against your roof, breaking down materials with the passage of time.
Our team will safely remove this buildup, and we take special care to apply the right cleaning methods for your individual roof material. Too often, homeowners try DIY pressure washing or other harsh cleaning techniques and end up causing more damage to their roof than was there in the first place.
Skylight Installation and Replacement
Skylights and sun tunnels bring valuable natural light into spaces that might otherwise feel enclosed. At the same time, they can allow water to penetrate if the installation isn’t handled correctly. Proper installation of a new or replacement skylight is every bit as important as the quality of the skylight itself.
Whether you’re installing a new skylight or replacing an older, leaking, or fogged-up unit, we handle the installation with the same attention to detail we bring to our other roofing services. This includes careful attention to flashing and sealing around the unit.
Church Roofing
Churches and other houses of worship often have complex roofs with steep pitches, architectural details, steeples, bell towers, and other structures with real historical significance. It’s clear that church roofs demand attention to detail and craftsmanship that is often beyond residential roofing.
Our crew is no stranger to working on this more demanding, historically, or architecturally significant infrastructure, and we understand the importance of shared values, stewardship, and treating these buildings with the respect they deserve. We are committed to delivering a product that will last while preserving the building’s character and ensuring it remains structurally sound and weathertight for years to come.
SHC Historic Restorations
Our parent company, Stable Hollow Construction, specializes in historic barn restoration and stone masonry. Throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland are numerous old farms, buildings, and barns that hold a lot of character. Restoration on these buildings requires a unique skill set that includes traditional woodworking and stone masonry techniques beyond those typically used in modern construction.
Stable Hollow’s team of skilled artisans works meticulously on everything from repairing weathered timber to rebuilding stone foundations. This ensures that a building’s past is honored while the present infrastructure meets the demands of today’s standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Exterior Services
Do you subcontract any of your work?
Most of our work is completed by our own dedicated crews of skilled Amish and English craftspeople. When we do work with subcontractors, they are trusted local professionals we know and have built relationships with over time. Everyone working on an MR Roofing project is expected to meet the same standards for quality and craftsmanship.
How do I know if I need gutter repair or a full replacement?
Can a leaking chimney actually damage my roof?
Yes, the flashing detail where a chimney integrates with your roof is a primary location for moisture intrusion. Degraded mortar around the chimney stack can also allow water into the roof structure.
