Dave Silvestrini

In the commercial and industrial construction sector, protecting a building’s physical envelope requires specialized engineering insight, high-grade materials, and seasoned leadership. As Owner and President of E & R Roofing & Construction Company Ltd, Dave Silvestrini provides the strategic direction and technical oversight behind one of the most enduring roofing enterprises in Northeastern Pennsylvania and New York. With a rich company heritage dating back to 1978 and more than four decades of dedicated regional service, Dave leads a team committed to delivering structural integrity, uncompromising weatherproofing, and long-term asset protection.

Dave understands that a commercial or industrial roof represents a major capital investment. A failure overhead risks costly interior inventory damage, structural decay, operational downtime, and tenant disruption. Recognizing these stakes, Dave has centered his business philosophy on comprehensive diagnostics, proactive building stewardship, and honest client communication. Under his direction, E & R Roofing & Construction Company Ltd has grown into a trusted partner for property managers, corporate facility directors, general contractors, and business owners throughout Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, and Wayne counties, as well as surrounding counties across NEPA and neighboring New York regions.

Commercial and Industrial Roofing Leadership

Commercial and industrial roof systems demand a distinct technical skill set compared to standard steep-slope residential applications. Large-footprint buildings frequently contend with significant structural vibrations, complex HVAC and plumbing penetrations, chemical exhausts, heavy foot traffic, and stringent local building codes. Dave brings extensive technical insight into the distinct demands of industrial plants, distribution centers, educational facilities, healthcare institutions, and retail complexes.

From initial design consultations to structural load assessments and safety protocol management, Dave ensures that every commercial installation adheres to strict industry guidelines. His team minimizes operational interruptions by coordinating schedules around peak facility hours to ensure client workflows proceed smoothly. By maintaining full licensing, comprehensive liability insurance, and rigorous job-site safety practices, Dave ensures that every project proceeds with precision from staging to final sign-off.

Specialized Mastery in Flat and Low-Slope Systems

Flat and low-slope roofs are among the most engineering-intensive surfaces in construction. Because they lack steep inclines to shed precipitation quickly, these structures rely on precise positive drainage, flawless seam welding, and dependable expansion-contraction tolerances to prevent catastrophic ponding water and premature membrane degradation. Dave’s deep knowledge of low-slope dynamics ensures that every installation is planned with proper slope-to-drain ratios, tapered insulation systems, and durable flashing details.

Under Dave’s supervision, E & R Roofing & Construction Company Ltd works across an extensive portfolio of advanced low-slope membrane technologies, including:

• Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO): Delivering exceptional solar reflectivity, puncture resistance, and heat-welded monolithic seams that hold up against ultraviolet radiation and chemical exposure.
• Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM): A time-tested synthetic rubber solution that offers remarkable flexibility in extreme temperature fluctuations and reliable resistance to ozone and thermal shock.
• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): High-performance single-ply membranes engineered specifically for facilities exposed to rooftop grease, harsh industrial emissions, and standing moisture.
• Built-Up Roofing (BUR) & Modified Bitumen: Redundant, multi-ply asphalt systems that provide superior tensile strength and puncture resistance for high-traffic maintenance surfaces.

Advanced Roof Coatings and Sustainable Restoration

Dave Silvestrini is an advocate for proactive roof asset management. Recognizing that a struggling commercial roof does not always require a costly tear-off, Dave specializes in advanced roof coatings and elastomeric restoration systems. When existing insulation and decking remain structurally sound, fluid-applied silicone, acrylic, and urethane systems can rehabilitate aging membranes at a fraction of the cost of total replacement.



These seamless, liquid-applied restorations cure into a durable, waterproof barrier that effectively eliminates leak-prone seams, seals fastener heads, and bridges minor splits. In addition to sealing penetrations, reflective cool-roof coatings dramatically reduce thermal transfer into the interior space, lowering summer HVAC cooling loads and utility bills. By leveraging manufacturer-backed warranties, Dave helps business owners extend their roof’s functional lifespan by a decade or more while capturing valuable operational savings and tax advantages.

Targeted Repair, Preventive Maintenance, and Full Replacement

Under Dave’s management, E & R Roofing & Construction Company Ltd balances emergency response with systematic maintenance planning. Severe northeastern winter storms, ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy wind events can damage perimeter flashings and puncture membranes. Dave oversees prompt, diagnostic-driven repair crews capable of tracing obscure water intrusion paths and resolving issues before they reach subflooring, insulation, or building interiors.

For systems at the end of their design life, Dave manages full roof replacements with a focus on thorough preparation. His crews thoroughly strip away deteriorated materials, evaluate and repair underlying metal or wood decking, install high-efficiency rigid insulation packages, and execute precision membrane installations backed by industry-leading manufacturer warranties. To help clients safeguard these investments long after completion, Dave designs tailored preventive maintenance routines that identify and remediate wear before it leads to costly emergency repairs.

Rooted in Family Values and Community Commitment

As the leader of a locally owned, family-operated business, Dave operates on a foundation of long-term integrity rather than short-term transactions. He believes in providing transparent, accurate, and free estimates that give property owners a clear view of their options, whether that involves a targeted spot repair, an elastomeric restoration coating, or an engineered replacement.

Dave’s long-standing connection to Northeastern Pennsylvania and New York drives his commitment to supporting regional commerce and maintaining the commercial properties that house local jobs. His hands-on leadership, paired with round-the-clock emergency support, guarantees that when commercial clients reach out to E & R Roofing & Construction Company Ltd, they receive seasoned advice directly from an industry professional who stands behind his team’s workmanship.
