About

Why the name Lester’s Carpentry you might ask? Well, Lester started out with a carpentry business in 2010. After just two years, it became clear that  there was a lot of interest in metal roofing work in his hometown of Rossiter, PA, in the Johnstown, PA area; including Somerset in the south and up to St Mary’s in the north. Following the demand, Lester decided to focus solely on the roofing aspect of the business. He quickly become known as a professional roofer who was responsive, professional and reasonably priced. The business grew and more employees were added to the team.

In 2019, Melvin Miller joined the team as a partner. Melvin brings over 15 years roofing experience to the business. In 2023, Lester’s Carpentry is branching out to commercial roof restoration using the renowned Conklin commercial roofing products. This follows Lester’s success with Troyer Commercial Roofing based in Florida. More recently, Lester has won several awards for his work with Conklin products (See photo below). Lester’s Carpentry has a wide range of building skills but has chosen to focus on roofing.
