Roofing Contractor in Conshohocken, PA

Shingle roofing in Conshohocken, PA, and what we don’t do

Many of the older houses here went up when Alan Wood Steel and the mills were hiring: brick twins and rowhomes from the late 1800s and early 1900s on the numbered avenues either side of Fayette Street, from the river up to Sutcliffe Park. Many of the twins have pitched shingle roofs, and those are our work. On a roof that age it’s common to find a second layer of shingles, soft sheathing and flashing patched more than once, so a full asphalt shingle roof replacement goes down to the deck, fixes the bad boards and builds it back properly, never new shingles over old.

Many rowhomes have flat rubber or membrane roofs, and some have a pitched front with a flat section behind. We don’t install or repair flat membrane roofing, and we’ll say so on the phone. Joe and his family live in the Conshohocken area, so the company working on your Conshohocken, PA roof is run by a neighbor.

Twins and rowhomes

Attached homes share more than a wall. The roof line, flashing and gutters often run across both houses, and that seam is where leaks start. We pay extra attention to the joint between your roof and your neighbor’s, and we’ll keep your neighbor in the loop if work affects their side. If the rest of the roof is sound, a roof leak repair at the party line is the honest fix.

Weather off the river: what wears Conshohocken roofs out

The hillside takes whatever comes up the Schuylkill valley. Wind lifts shingles on the exposed upper slopes. Winter does the slow damage: water gets into cracked flashing and seams, freezes, and opens the gap a little more each cycle. After a snow, heat leaking from the attic melts it and the cold eaves refreeze it, and that ice dam backs water up under the shingles. An attic that can’t breathe makes it worse. Humid summers leave black algae streaks on north-facing slopes. A free roof inspection in Conshohocken sorts out wear from a leak waiting to happen. If water is coming in tonight, read what to do when your roof is leaking right now, then call us.

From the riverfront to Plymouth Meeting and Lafayette Hill

Conshohocken Borough, PA 19428, sits on the Schuylkill in Montgomery County and shares its ZIP code with West Conshohocken across the Matsonford Bridge. The newer townhomes along the river and the Schuylkill River Trail are a different job: tighter access, shared gutters and, if there’s an HOA, shingle rules we check with you first. Our office is in Blue Bell, a few miles up Butler Pike, and from there we cover Plymouth Meeting, Lafayette Hill and the rest of our Montgomery County service area. Cost questions?
