Roofing in Bensalem, PA
Bensalem starts where Northeast Philadelphia ends, a few minutes up the road from our Frankford office.
Bensalem roof work is mostly shingle roofs on post-war and newer single homes and twins, plus flat and low-slope roofs on the township's many stores, offices and apartment buildings. Replacements, leak repairs, gutters and storm damage are the common calls.
What the Roofs Look Like Here
Bensalem was founded in 1692 and borders Northeast Philadelphia. For most of its history it was farms and riverfront estates; the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-95 turned it into a busy commercial and residential township, and it is now Bucks County's most populous municipality, with 62,707 residents in 2020.
Its communities, from Andalusia and Cornwells Heights along the river to Eddington, Bridgewater and Trevose, carry a mix of older stone and frame houses, post-war singles and twins, townhome developments and garden apartments. That means shingle roofs of every age, and plenty of flat commercial roofs along the main roads.
Work We Do Most in Bensalem
Full shingle replacements with new ice barrier and ventilation, leak repairs at chimneys, pipe boots and valleys, gutter replacement, storm repairs, and membrane repairs and replacements on commercial and apartment buildings.
A Typical Job in Bensalem
A replacement on a Bensalem single or twin usually takes a day or two: tear-off to the deck, decking repairs where needed, ice and water barrier at the eaves, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge, shingles and balanced ventilation. On commercial buildings, we survey the membrane, drains and rooftop units before pricing a repair or a new roof.
