We pride ourselves on helping you meet your energy saving and comfort needs. In 1997 we were installing seamless gutter systems in the Erie area. In 1999 we began installing specialized gutter protection systems in Northwest Pennsylvania and Western New York. We personally became aware of the magnitude of insufficient insulation when many of our gutter customers realized they had huge heat loss problems. From there we branched into blown-in cellulose in 2001 as a way to provide much needed services to the homes in our area. Spray foam insulation was introduced shortly after that. Our extensive experience and product options enable us to insulate your project the right way. Thank you for the opportunity.

Bauer Specialty provides insulation, roofing, and lifetime no-clog covered gutter systems. We specialize in open-cell, closed-cell, and cellulose insulations. Our philosophy about building insulation is different from many other companies. Since your home has its own unique set of circumstances, we don’t approach it with a “one-product-fits-all” attitude. We use quality insulation materials because their proven performance and air sealing quality lasts longer and saves you money year after year. We offer full-service roofing installations for asphalt, rubber, metal, and roof coatings for both residential and commercial properties. Our gutter division specializes in standard gutters (5" or 6"), half-round, copper, heated gutters, lifetime no-clog gutter covers, soffit, and fascia.

"The quality of work was great. All of the workers were exactly what you would hope for. We had work on an exterior wall, interior wall, sliding patio door replaced, new vinyl flooring by two doors, lots of wallpapering, and carpet replaced, requiring different workmen on different days, stretching the completion time over a few months."

Architectural shingles last 25 to 30 years, while standard 3-tab asphalt shingles last 15 to 20 years. This extended lifespan results from their thicker construction and higher-quality materials. Environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, strong winds, and heavy precipitation can affect longevity in any region. Regular maintenance, including clearing debris and addressing minor issues promptly, helps maximize the service life of either shingle type.
Architectural shingles justify their additional cost through superior longevity, enhanced durability, and better aesthetics. While they cost 20% to 40% more than standard 3-tab options, their longer lifespan (25 to 30 years versus 15 to 20) means fewer replacements over time.
They also offer better resistance to wind and weather, a more attractive dimensional appearance, and stronger manufacturer warranties. For most homeowners, these benefits provide good value despite the higher initial investment.
30-year architectural shingles cost between $250 and $1,000 per square (100 square feet) installed. Premium brands tend toward the higher end of this spectrum, while more economical options fall in the lower range. These figures represent complete installation costs and don't include potential expenses for removing existing roofing materials, which can add disposal fees of $40 to $60 per ton.
Architectural shingles do require specific installation methods to ensure proper performance and warranty coverage. Their heavier weight and dimensional profile necessitate particular attention to underlayment quality, fastener placement, and overlap measurements. Manufacturer specifications must be followed precisely to maintain warranty protection.
Professional installers understand these requirements and have the proper tools and training to implement them correctly. Improper installation can compromise both performance and warranty coverage, making professional installation particularly important for this premium roofing material.
