Roofing in Norristown, PA
Norristown's rowhouses and twins climb the hills above the Schuylkill, and their roofs look a lot like the ones we fix in Philadelphia.
Norristown roof work is mostly flat roofs on rowhouses and rear additions, front slopes and porch roofs on twins, and slate and box gutters on older houses near the center. Leak repairs, membrane replacements, parapet flashing and gutters lead the calls.
What the Roofs Look Like Here
Norristown was named Montgomery County's seat in 1784 and became a borough in 1812. It grew as a mill and factory town on hills sloping down to the Schuylkill, and it is dense: 35,748 people in 2020 at about 10,170 per square mile.
That density means rowhouses and twins much like Philadelphia's, with flat rear roofs, shared parapets and porch roofs, plus older nineteenth-century houses with slate, cornices and box gutters near the courthouse.

A Typical Job in Norristown
