Trusted Roofing Contractor in Swarthmore, PA

Many Swarthmoreroofs are more detailed than builder-grade work, with steeper pitches andcomplex valleys that reward experience. We install architectural CertainTeedand GAF shingles suited to these traditional homes, and as a CertainTeed SelectShingleMaster and GAF Master Elite contractor, we back the work with enhancedmanufacturer warranties.

On establishedborough homes we usually recommend a full tear-off rather than a layover, so wecan check and repair the decking, replace worn flashing around chimneys anddormers, and correct ventilation that was often never done right. Starting froma clean, sound surface is how a roof lasts on a house like this.

The heavy treecover that makes Swarthmore so appealing also keeps roofs damp and drops leavesinto valleys and gutters, where standing litter is a quiet cause of slow leaks.We detail the flashing, valleys, and drainage to shed that load, so the roof stayswatertight even under a heavy canopy.

Nothing beginsuntil you have a written price in hand. The estimate itself is free: weevaluate the roof, document what needs attention, and explain it plainly.

Roofs here frequently hide layers of past work, fromcedar shakes buried under asphalt to patched flashing around additions builtdecades apart. We uncover and correct that history during a tear-off ratherthan roofing over it, which is the only way to give a century-old home a roofthat seats properly and lasts.
