Commercial Metal Roofing Systems in Erie
Made for Demanding, High-Use Environments
Precision Roofing for Commercial Environments
At Great Lakes Commercial Roofing, we build metal roofing systems that match the pace and complexity of commercial operations. Our BBB A+ Accredited crews arrive prepared, timelines are tight, and each step is calculated.
Erie businesses turn to us when failure isn’t an option. We handle unusual layouts, integrate with other systems, and consider access points during every design. While others might treat roofing as a commodity, we treat it as infrastructure. One wrong choice affects everything inside the building. Great Lakes doesn’t gamble with performance. Your commercial roofing system will be tailored, tested, and built to serve your property, not someone else’s blueprint.
At Great Lakes, we’re equipped to handle the complexity that comes with commercial roofing. Our team embraces challenges like complex layouts, designing around rooftop units, multiple elevations, or unusual building footprints. We take a code-focused planning approach from the beginning, ensuring your project moves forward without costly compliance issues. Unlike companies that outsource labor, we use no subcontracted labor, giving you direct oversight and consistent craftsmanship.
We offer both metal and membrane options, tailoring each system based on performance goals, budget, and environmental demands. Every step of our process is guided by facility-first engineering. We consider equipment access, future expansion plans, and day-to-day operational flow.
The result? A roofing system that fits your building like a glove and supports your team from the top down.

Not All Metal Roofs Are Built for Business
One-size-fits-all systems don’t belong in Erie’s commercial districts. Our crews measure twice, fabricate to spec, and install with total control. Each facility has unique demands that require custom solutions. A loading dock roof faces constant forklift traffic and exhaust systems, while a library roof must prioritize acoustic performance and quiet operation. We consider every variable.
Commercial properties face challenges that residential ones never see, such as constant HVAC load, foot traffic, anchor points, and long spans. We’ve built systems that survive expansion, that outlast seasonal shutdowns, and that don’t buckle under daily pressure. Every job gets a final review and long-term maintenance options.
When timelines are tight and disruptions need to be minimal, we deliver fast installs with low interruption to your workflow. Our crews coordinate with property managers, shift supervisors, and safety leads to ensure our schedule works with yours.
Every installer on-site is part of our professional, trained in-house crews, which means no rotating subcontractors and no guessing who’s in charge. Your roof will be engineered for real-world usage and designed to endure thermal movement, foot traffic, rooftop equipment, and Erie’s industrial demands.
With full accountability from start to finish, you’re never left wondering who to call or where to turn. Great Lakes owns every phase of your project; design, build, inspection, and beyond, so you can focus on your business while we protect what’s above it.

Advantages of Our Roofing Systems
From panel profile to final coating, every detail in our roofing systems is built with purpose. These aren’t residential upgrades; they’re commercial solutions made to perform.
- Compatible with flat/low-slope roofs
- Multi-coat finishes
- Energy-efficient assembly
- Fabrication in controlled settings
Some roofs need strength. Others need scale. Ours offers both. We don’t use decorative sheet metal or outdated assemblies. Our metal roofing systems use layered defenses like steel, metal roof coatings, fasteners, insulation, and sealants to be deliberately matched to each building. There’s no guessing involved.
We’ve handled school roofs, aviation hangars, and secure government buildings. Material strength is important, but so is the crew behind it. We bring certified, trained installers to every site, not just laborers with hand tools. Every rivet, weld, and lap is intentional. A Great Lakes roof delivers what commercial facilities need: complete protection, structural integrity, and lasting performance. That’s why facility managers often turn to us after other solutions have failed.
A leaking roof can cost thousands of dollars a year in repairs. We replace those headaches with predictable performance. Our panels lock out water and support future upgrades.

Russell Jenkins
The guys from Great Lakes commercial roofing LLC were extremely professional. Kenneth came out and was extremely informative and knowledgeable in regards to roofing.

E Frogwell
When it comes to a company that will get the job done right you have to go with Great Lakes Commercial Roofing. Zac is easy to work with and very knowledgeable about many different products and options. Don’t make the mistake I did and call a contractor that is mainly a residential roofer to look at your industrial roof unless you like wasting money
Tom Havacheck
Great company to work with! I have a building in Pennsylvania but live in another state. My roof was leaking and Zac was sent out and did the inspection on the roof. When he was at the building he called and sent me a link to live pictures
Jason Bakus
These guys are awsome. Great job from start to finish. Did our large commercial catering hall. Always available if we have a question or concern. Roof looks great and best of all. No more leeks. Defiantly recommend
Matthew DeLibero

Conrad Miler
Your dedication to quality and service have made working with you a pleasure!
Barb Goliad
I called Great Lakes Commercial Roofing to come check out my building. I had a company put silicone roof coating on it 5 years ago and since day one it never stopped the leaking problems, the other company came out 5 times to “fix the problem” but never did. Zac came out and evaluated my problem and gave me a ton of information on the best solution to fix the problem.
