Services
Roofing
Our certified roofing specialists provide complete roof installations, replacements, and repairs for both residential and commercial properties. We utilize premium asphalt shingle and metal roofing systems that come with extended manufacturer warranties. Our GAF Master Elite credentials ensure proper installation techniques and access to the latest roofing technology. Each project includes a comprehensive inspection to identify structural concerns and recommend appropriate solutions that enhance property value while providing lasting protection against Western New York's weather conditions. We also offer emergency roof leak repairs with immediate response.
Siding Installation
We install durable vinyl, wood, and composite siding systems that enhance curb appeal while protecting homes from the elements. Our CertainTeed 5-Star certified team follows strict installation protocols to ensure proper fit and weather resistance. We offer various styles including Monogram, MainStreet, and Restoration Classic products with integrated weather barrier systems. Each project includes thorough preparation of the underlying structure to maximize energy efficiency and include lifetime fade protection features through the PermaCOLOR System technology that maintains appearance over time.
Skylight Services
Our VELUX-certified technicians specialize in installing fixed, vented, and solar-powered skylights that increase natural light and ventilation. We offer complete solutions including curb-mounted models and light tunnel systems for interior spaces. Every installation incorporates triple-layer leak protection and automated rain-sensor technology. Our team handles both new installations and replacements with proper flashing details to prevent water infiltration. We also provide repair services for existing skylights and offer integrated blind systems for light control and energy efficiency improvements.
Solar Roofing
We integrate solar energy systems with roofing projects to create sustainable power solutions for residential properties. As certified GAF Energy installers, we combine durable roofing materials with high-efficiency solar panels that qualify for 30% federal and state tax credits. Our systems generate renewable energy while maintaining aesthetic appeal through seamless roof integration. The installation process includes system design optimization for maximum sun exposure and connection to existing electrical systems. Each project comes with comprehensive manufacturer warranties and performance verification testing.
Gutter Systems
We install 5 and 6-inch K-style aluminum gutters with coordinating downspouts to protect properties from water damage. Our finished systems include proper sloping and secure fastening to handle Western New York's seasonal precipitation. We offer copper and galvanized steel options for historic properties. Optional Alu-Rex gutter guards provide continuous debris protection through microfiltration technology that maintains water flow while preventing clogs. Each installation includes proper downspout extensions and splash block placement to direct water away from foundations.

Everybody at Highland Contractors who worked with me to repair my roof was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I will be a returning customer for new windows. My fiance and I are very impressed with the work from the crew, who worked 12 hours to make sure we had our new roof. Chad Newbauer was thorough, and polite when explaining everything. He even helped me navigate my insurance process. Chads attitude and genuine care about my situation was the best I've ever experienced in a professional setting. Samantha Morales in the office, was extremely helpful in every conversation I had with her.
The coordination between her, Chad and my job supervisor, Rich Mathis was on point. Rich made sure his crew knew what my specific concerns were and was regularly present. As for the emergency repair when this all started, Steve and Will were out the same day, minimizing the damage, and thus maximizing my insurance payout. Thank you Highland Contractors! Great work, great warranty, I love my new roof.

I contracted Highland to replace my old roof along with 6 skylight windows. Highland is a team of professionals who are great to work with. Their 5 years @ 0% financing helps ease the financial burden of major home repairs. I was very happy with the overall experience, and the outcome of the job. The project manager Aimee was incredibly responsive, and she did a great job communicating with me throughout the project.
This was a huge job, and it gave me peace of mind to have a knowledgeable point person on site to answer my questions/concerns along the way. Aimee and her team were very thorough in cleaning up after the job was complete. I will definitely call them for my next project. Thanks, Aimee!

I called Highland Contractors about having a deck installed. The salesman was extremely knowledgeable and very polite and told me that they would be sending one of their best carpenters to do the job. From day one I could tell I was in good hands. Greg was the carpenter that built my deck and he was amazing! He was always on time, very considerate and willing to answer any questions I had throughout the project, extremely knowledgeable and skillful.
I could tell he took great pride in his work. After the project was completed, he thanked me for choosing Highland Contractors and assured me if there were any issues to contact Highland and he'll come personally to rectify them. There hasn't be a single issue and I'm truly appreciative for the craftsmanship that Highland Contractors and Greg have proven. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Chris Powers the Project Manager was nice. He introduced himself. But the real praise goes to his team. They were early, polite, and did an excellent installation job and clean up. They did a complete roof tear off and new roof installation. My roof looks amazing. I love it. Thank you to Chris and each of his team members. I am sorry I didn't get their names because they are the true champions.
