The Process

What The Shelby Standard™ Looks Like

Most contractors show up, do the work, and disappear. The Shelby Standard™ is the opposite — documented, managed, and guaranteed at every stage.

01
Free Inspection

Drone Roof Inspection — Before We Write Anything

Every project starts with a free aerial drone inspection. We document your entire roof from multiple angles before we write a single estimate. You see exactly what we see — no vague descriptions, no surprises discovered mid-project.

This inspection is 100% free, with no obligation. We will not pressure you to commit to anything.

What you get: High-resolution drone photos of your full roof system, attic inspection report, and a frank assessment of condition and urgency — delivered in plain language.
02
Transparent Proposal

A Written Estimate That Actually Tells You What You’re Paying For

You receive a detailed written proposal with line-item material specifications, labor scope, timeline, and final price — before you commit to anything. No ballpark figures. No “we’ll figure it out as we go.”

If your project qualifies for insurance coverage, we walk you through that process and advocate for the full replacement you are entitled to — at no additional cost.

Financing: If you need it, we offer Acorn Finance — up to $100,000, terms up to 20 years, prequalify in 60 seconds with no credit impact.
03
Selection & Scheduling

Choose Your System. We Handle Everything Else.

We walk you through every material option with real samples and explain the honest trade-offs between them. Once you choose, Eduardo our Project Manager takes over — pulling all required permits, coordinating delivery, and scheduling your installation date.

We pull permits on every qualifying project. No exceptions. Contractors who skip permits are leaving you with unpermitted work that can complicate home sales and void insurance claims.

Permit note: Pennsylvania requires permits for most roofing replacements. We handle the application, inspections, and final sign-off on your behalf.
04
Eduardo-Led Installation

One Crew. One Standard. Eduardo On-Site From Start to Finish.

Eduardo, our certified Project Manager and Crew Leader, is on-site at your project from the first tear-off to the final nail. Not just at the start. Not just at the end. The entire installation.

Our trained crew works efficiently, protects your landscaping and property, maintains a clean site throughout, and communicates with you directly — not through a call center, not through a third-party sub.

You will have Eduardo’s direct contact information. If you have a question at 7pm the night before your project, you can reach him directly. That is not an accident — that is the standard.
05
Drone Final Documentation

We Document the Completed Work Before We Leave Your Property.

After installation is complete, we fly another full drone pass over the finished system. Every angle. Every detail. Every transition, flashing, ridge, and valley.

You receive a complete digital photo album of your completed project — before-during-after — delivered to you and stored permanently in your project file.

Why it matters: If you ever file an insurance claim, sell your home, or have a warranty question five years from now, you have photographic proof of exactly what was installed and how. No other standard roofing contractor in the Philadelphia region includes this as a default.
06
Warranty & Walkthrough

We Don’t Leave Until You’re Satisfied — and Everything is in Writing.

Eduardo walks you through the completed work in person. We answer every question. We address anything you want to look at more closely. And we deliver your warranty documentation in writing before we leave.

Two warranties, in writing: Your manufacturer’s material warranty (coverage varies by product) and your 30-year Shelby Roofing Services workmanship warranty covering our installation — backed by our $2 million liability insurance policy. If any issue arises from our work, we return and make it right at no charge.
What We Stand Behind

The Promises Behind The Standard

No Subcontractors
Your project is performed by our trained crew, led by Eduardo. We do not hire day-labor or outsource your job to a third party. The people who show up are the people who are accountable.
📷
Documented at Every Stage
Before. During. After. Every Shelby Roofing Services project is aerial drone-documented at multiple stages. You receive the photos. They are yours permanently.
📞
Direct Access
You have Eduardo’s direct contact number from day one. No call centers. No ticketing systems. One person responsible, reachable directly.
📄
Permits on Every Qualifying Job
We pull permits on every project that requires one. We handle the application, the inspections, and the final sign-off. Unpermitted roofing is a liability you don’t want.
GAF Certified Contractor
Our GAF Certification allows us to offer enhanced manufacturer warranties unavailable from uncertified contractors. Not every roofer can offer this — we can.
🔒
Licensed & Insured
PA HIC #PA-178363. $2 million liability insurance. Licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. The paperwork exists and we will show it to you if you ask.
Backed in Writing

Two Warranties. Every Project. No Exceptions.

30yr
Workmanship Warranty
The Shelby Standard™ Workmanship Guarantee
Our work is covered for 30 years. If an issue arises from our installation — flashing failure, improper fastening, ventilation problems caused by our work — we return and correct it at no charge. This warranty is backed by our $2 million liability insurance policy and transfers with your home.

Manufacturer’s Material Warranty

Every product we install carries the manufacturer’s own warranty covering material defects. The coverage terms vary by product — we will walk you through the specific terms for your chosen material before installation begins.

As a GAF Certified Contractor, we are able to offer enhanced GAF warranty options unavailable from non-certified contractors — including coverage that protects both materials and our labor beyond standard terms.

What the $2M Liability Policy Means for You

If anything on your property is damaged during our work — from landscaping to structure — our $2 million commercial general liability policy covers it. This is not a small policy. It is the kind of coverage that serious, established contractors carry. If a contractor cannot show you their certificate of insurance, do not let them on your roof.

The Standard, In Their Words

★★★★★

From start to finish it was a great experience. Professional, clean, on time, and they delivered exactly what they promised. The drone photos at the end were something I wasn’t expecting — a really nice touch.

Jake Hogan
★★★★★

Shelby replaced my entire roof after a tree strike on a 200+ year old home with some special needs. Excellent work, fast, clean, and professional. Could not have been happier.
