Bauer Specialty and CRS

We’re excited to share an important new chapter in the Bauer Specialty story: Bauer Specialty has been acquired by Complete Roofing Systems (CRS) of Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania.

For our customers, employees, community partners, and neighbors throughout Erie County and the surrounding region, the most important thing to know is simple: the commitment to quality, service, and community you expect from Bauer Specialty isn’t changing.

In fact, becoming part of Complete Roofing Systems gives us an opportunity to build on that commitment with a larger team, expanded resources, and an even greater ability to serve the communities we call home.

Two Local Companies With a Shared Commitment

Bauer Specialty has served the Erie and Lake Erie region for more than 25 years. Over that time, we’ve built our reputation by helping homeowners and businesses protect their properties with dependable roofing, gutter, storm damage restoration, insulation, and related services.

Complete Roofing Systems brings a similar customer-first approach to the communities it serves. Based at 688 Big Tree Road in Sugar Grove, PA, Complete Roofing Systems already provides roofing, gutter, and storm damage restoration solutions throughout much of the same region, including Erie County.

That shared service area is only part of what makes bringing our companies together such a natural fit.

Both Bauer Specialty and CRS believe quality workmanship should be matched by an exceptional customer experience. From the first conversation and inspection through installation, cleanup, and follow-up, our goal is to communicate clearly, do the job right, and provide solutions our customers can depend on for years to come.

Those values will remain at the heart of Bauer Specialty moving forward.

What Does the Acquisition Mean for Bauer Specialty Customers?

For most customers, very little will change.

Bauer Specialty will continue providing the high-quality workmanship and responsive service our customers have come to expect. As Complete Roofing Systems owns and manages Bauer Specialty, customers may begin to see the CRS name and branding become a greater part of our operations.

What does change is the amount of support behind the team serving you—and we believe that is great news for our customers.

A Larger Team Ready to Serve You

Bringing Bauer Specialty and CRS together expands the size and capabilities of our service team. More people and resources mean greater capacity to respond to homeowners, complete projects efficiently, and serve customers throughout the region.

That additional capacity can be especially valuable when severe weather affects Northwest Pennsylvania and many homeowners need inspections, emergency assistance, roof repairs, or storm damage restoration at the same time.

An Expanded Service Area

Bauer Specialty is deeply rooted in the greater Erie area, and has long served communities throughout Northwest Pennsylvania and Western New York. Joining CRS connects that local presence with a company already serving a broader geographic area.

Together, we can bring the experience and capabilities of both organizations to more property owners while continuing to provide the responsive, regional service our customers value.

More Resources, Same Focus on Quality

Growth only matters if it helps us take better care of our customers.

The additional people, experience, and resources available through CRS will help us continue delivering professional roofing, gutter, and storm restoration solutions while maintaining our focus on quality workmanship, communication, and an outstanding customer experience.

Our goal isn’t to change what has made Bauer Specialty successful. It’s to give our team more resources to do more of it.

Continuing to Support the Causes That Matter to Our Team and Community

There is another part of Bauer Specialty that we are especially proud to carry into this next chapter: Bauer Cares.

Bauer Cares has always represented something bigger than the work we perform on homes and businesses. The program was created to support the charities, organizations, groups, and kids’ programs that are important to members of the Bauer team, while helping bring greater awareness and education to those causes throughout our local community.

Community involvement remains part of who we are.

We look forward not only to continuing the relationships Bauer Cares has developed, but also to seeing how this new chapter can create additional opportunities to make a positive impact in the communities served by Bauer Specialty and CRS.

Bauer Specialty Is Still Here for Erie

Our roots in the Erie area remain important to us.

Bauer Specialty has spent more than 25 years serving homeowners and businesses in the Lake Erie region, developing firsthand knowledge of the challenges local properties face—from heavy lake-effect snow and ice to wind, hail, rain, and rapidly changing weather.

But being local has always meant more to us than understanding the weather.

It means knowing the communities, organizations, families, businesses, and people who make this region home. It means supporting local causes through Bauer Cares. And it means being there when our neighbors need us.

Our Bauer Specialty location at 5301 Iroquois Avenue in Erie will continue to be part of that local presence, while Complete Roofing Systems brings additional support and resources from its operations at 688 Big Tree Road in Sugar Grove.

Together, we’ll be better positioned to serve homeowners across Erie County and beyond.

Looking Ahead

Changes in ownership naturally bring questions, and we want our customers and community partners to feel confident about what comes next.

Bauer Specialty’s commitment to you remains the same.

We will continue to focus on dependable workmanship, responsive communication, an outstanding customer experience, and meaningful involvement in the communities we serve.

What changes is the strength of the organization behind those commitments: a larger service team, broader reach, and additional resources to help us meet the needs of more homeowners and communities.

We’re proud of what Bauer Specialty has built in Erie, and we’re excited about what this next chapter with Complete Roofing Systems will allow us to accomplish.

More resources. A larger team. The same commitment to our customers. And the continuation of Bauer Cares and our commitment to the community we call home.

Thank you to our customers, employees, community partners, and neighbors for being part of the Bauer Specialty story. We look forward to continuing to serve—and support—our community for many years to come.
