Roofing Services in Media
Whether you need alength of flashing corrected, a slow leak traced, or the whole roof taken downto the deck and rebuilt, that is work we do week in and week out. On most Mediahomes the answer is an architectural asphalt shingle from CertainTeed or GAF,with standing-seam metal an option on a porch roof or a low-slope addition.
The CertainTeedSelect ShingleMaster and GAF Master Elite designations Volpe holds allow us toregister enhanced manufacturer warranties on a new roof, and that coverage isoften transferable to the next owner. On an older borough house that may changehands someday, having that transfer in writing is worth it.
A roof is only assound as the details around it, so we give the valleys, step flashing, andchimney and skylight penetrations the same attention as the field of shingles.Those transitions are where an older Media roof tends to let water in first.
Ventilation gets overlooked on century-old houses, anda roof that cannot breathe bakes its shingles from below and traps damp in theattic. When we rebuild a roof we balance the intake and exhaust so the newshingles reach the life they are rated for.
