If your looking for a Sustainable Roof option than Shaffer Building is the only CNY Business to talk to. Metal roofing provides a great alternative over normal roofing shingles. This team will keep your project on time and in budget!

I called Shaffer to fix a minor roof problem and didn't ask for a quote. The invoice I got was much more expensive than I expected. I was initially feeling pretty bad about it, and after explaining things to Bob, they gave me a discount as a nice gesture. Good business.
