Roofing in Roxborough
Roxborough's twins and singles sit on the ridge above the Schuylkill, mostly under pitched roofs that take the full force of the wind.
Roxborough roof work is mostly pitched shingle roofs on twins and singles, plus flat roofs on rows and additions. Shingle replacement, wind and storm repairs, chimney flashing and gutters lead the calls.
What the Roofs Look Like Here
Roxborough is one of the Northwest's homeowner neighborhoods: about 62% of homes in its ZIP code were owner-occupied in Pew's 2014 analysis. Its twins and singles carry pitched shingle roofs, alongside rows with flat roofs.
Sitting high on the ridge, those roofs see more wind than most of the city, so lifted shingles along exposed edges and storm damage are regular calls.

A Typical Job in Roxborough
After a windstorm, a typical Roxborough visit replaces lifted or missing shingles, re-seals the edges and checks the flashing at the chimney and walls. When the roof is near the end of its life, we photograph the damage and price a replacement alongside the repair.
Permits and Paperwork
Inside the city, roofing permits come from Licenses and Inspections. A new covering on an existing roof usually qualifies for the EZ re-roofing permit, and once a roof carries two layers the city requires a full tear-off to the deck. We file what the job needs before the old roof comes off.
