Roofing in Cheltenham, PA
Cheltenham borders the city just west of our Frankford office, and its older houses carry some of the most varied roofs we work on.
Cheltenham roof work is mostly on older houses: slate and steep shingle roofs, chimneys, box gutters and flat roofs over porches and additions in Elkins Park, Wyncote, Glenside and Melrose Park. Slate repair, flashing, gutters and leak tracing lead the calls.
What the Roofs Look Like Here
Cheltenham is one of the inner-ring suburbs that border Philadelphia, alongside Lower Merion, Haverford and Upper Darby. Its neighborhoods, Elkins Park, Wyncote, Melrose Park, Cheltenham Village and part of Glenside, are mostly early twentieth-century stone, brick and stucco houses, from twins to large singles.
Those houses brought slate and steep shingle roofs, tall chimneys, box gutters behind cornices and flat roofs over porches and rear additions, all of which age at different rates on the same house.
Work We Do Most in Cheltenham
Slate repairs, chimney flashing and crowns, box gutter relining, porch and flat roof repairs, shingle replacements and leak tracing on roofs with several materials.
A Typical Job in Cheltenham
A typical Cheltenham visit covers more than one roof: replacing slipped slates on the main roof, re-flashing a chimney, relining a box gutter and repairing the membrane on a porch roof. We price each part separately so the urgent work can be done first.
