Roofing in Abington, PA
Abington grew along the old trolley lines to Willow Grove Park, and many of its roofs date from that era.
Abington roof work splits between slate and shingle roofs on early twentieth-century twins and singles in Glenside, Roslyn and Ardsley, and shingle roofs on post-war houses in Willow Grove and beyond. Slate repairs, flashing, gutters and replacements lead the calls.
What the Roofs Look Like Here
Abington Township was incorporated in 1704 and is Montgomery County's second most populous municipality, with 58,502 residents in 2020. Much of it grew in the early twentieth century as trolley lines to Willow Grove Park, which opened in 1896, ran through Glenside, Keswick, Ardsley and Roslyn.
That growth left streets of stone, stucco and brick twins and singles, many with slate or steep shingle roofs, chimneys and box gutters, alongside post-war houses farther out.
Work We Do Most in Abington
Slate repairs and valley work, chimney flashing, box gutter relining, shingle replacements on post-war houses, and gutter and downspout work under mature trees.
A Typical Job in Abington
On a Glenside or Ardsley twin, a visit often means replacing slipped slates, rebuilding a chimney's flashing and relining the box gutter behind the cornice. On a post-war Willow Grove house, it looks like a standard replacement: tear-off, decking repairs, ice barrier, underlayment, shingles and ventilation.
