Allentown, PA
Serving Allentown with Quality Exterior Solutions
Allentown stands as Pennsylvania’s third-largest city, and its diverse architectural landscape presents unique challenges and opportunities for exterior home improvement. At Elevated Exteriors, we understand the specific needs of Allentown homeowners, from the historic districts of Old Allentown to the newer developments spreading throughout the Lehigh Valley. Our family-owned and operated business brings comprehensive exterior services to this vibrant community, ensuring every home receives the protection and aesthetic enhancement it deserves.
The weather patterns in Allentown create demanding conditions for home exteriors. With average annual snowfall exceeding 30 inches and summer temperatures regularly climbing into the 90s, homes here face constant exposure to moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and intense UV radiation. These environmental factors accelerate the deterioration of roofing materials, cause siding to warp or crack, and lead to gutter system failures that can result in costly water damage. Our team specializes in selecting and installing materials specifically engineered to withstand these regional climate challenges while maintaining their appearance and functionality for years to come.
Comprehensive Roofing Services for Lehigh Valley Homes
Roofing replacement and roofing repair represent critical investments for Allentown property owners, particularly given the area’s variable weather conditions. We work with multiple roofing systems, including architectural shingles, metal roofing, and flat roof solutions for commercial properties throughout the region. Each roofing project begins with a thorough inspection that evaluates not just the visible surface but also the underlying decking, ventilation systems, and flashing details that ensure long-term performance.
The installation process we follow exceeds standard industry practices by incorporating enhanced ice and water barriers along all valleys and eaves, upgraded ventilation calculations based on attic square footage, and premium synthetic underlayments that provide superior protection compared to traditional felt paper. These technical specifications matter significantly in Allentown, where winter ice dams and summer heat buildup can dramatically impact roof longevity. Our focus on clear communication means homeowners understand exactly what materials we’re installing and why specific products suit their particular situation better than alternatives.
Window and Siding Transformations
Energy efficiency remains a primary concern for Allentown residents facing rising utility costs, and window replacement offers one of the most effective solutions for reducing heating and cooling expenses. We install windows featuring advanced technologies like low-emissivity coatings, argon gas fills, and warm-edge spacer systems that minimize heat transfer through the glass and frame. These technical features translate into measurable benefits, with properly installed energy-efficient windows potentially reducing energy bills by 15-20% annually while eliminating drafts and condensation issues that plague older window systems.
Siding selection involves balancing aesthetics, maintenance requirements, and durability factors specific to Northeastern Pennsylvania’s climate. Whether installing vinyl siding with enhanced thickness ratings for impact resistance, fiber cement products that resist moisture and insects, or composite materials offering the appearance of wood without the maintenance demands, we ensure proper installation techniques that account for thermal expansion and moisture management. Our product education approach helps homeowners understand warranty coverage, maintenance requirements, and expected lifespans for different siding options.
Essential Gutter Systems and Additional Services
Properly functioning gutters protect foundations, prevent landscape erosion, and maintain the structural integrity of homes throughout Allentown’s varied neighborhoods. We install seamless aluminum gutters custom-fabricated on-site to exact measurements, eliminating joints that commonly fail and cause leaks. Our installation process includes:
- Precise pitch calculations ensuring optimal water flow toward downspouts
- Heavy-duty hangers spaced appropriately to handle snow loads
- Downspout placement strategically positioned to direct water away from foundations
- Optional gutter protection systems reducing maintenance requirements
Beyond these core services, we provide comprehensive exterior solutions that address the complete building envelope. Our personalized design consultations help homeowners visualize how different products and colors will enhance their property’s curb appeal while solving practical concerns like moisture infiltration or energy loss. This holistic approach ensures that improvements work together cohesively, rather than creating mismatched appearances or performance conflicts between different exterior components.
Commitment to Allentown’s Community
As a family-owned company serving Northeastern Pennsylvania, we maintain strong connections to the Allentown community and understand the importance of trustworthy, professional service. Our commitment extends beyond individual projects to supporting the overall improvement and preservation of the area’s residential properties. We recognize that every project reflects not just our workmanship but also contributes to neighborhood aesthetics and property values throughout the Lehigh Valley.
The relationships we build with Allentown homeowners center on transparency, education, and delivering lasting value through quality installations. Our approach ensures that your vision for your home becomes reality while incorporating the technical expertise necessary for long-term performance and protection against the elements.
