Roof Replacement in Lower Roxborough: what actually fails
Replacing a roof on a Lower Roxborough row home usually means two roofs: the street-facing pitch and the flat section behind it. The back one has normally been covered over more than once, so it is cored at the edge for a layer count before anyone prices the front, and the party wall with the house next door is flashed, not caulked.
The lower, older end of Roxborough, built up in the 19th and early 20th centuries along and below Ridge Avenue, toward Manayunk and Wissahickon.

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Ask how many layers are on itA roofer can count them at an edge or with a small core on a flat roof. If nobody has looked, nobody can price the tear-off, and the difference turns up on the day.
- Ask to see the bare deckBefore the new roof covers it: which boards were replaced, which were kept, which flashings were renewed. Photographs of each stage, yours to keep.

Call (267) 827-1752Note 01Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Roxborough?
Yes. Roxborough is inside the City of Philadelphia, so the permit comes from the Department of Licenses and Inspections, through eCLIPSE or the Permit and License Center. Replacing the covering is normally an EZ permit; a house on the historic register needs the Historical Commission first.
Note 02How often should a roof be replaced?
When it stops being repairable, not on a calendar. Asphalt shingles are generally rated at 15 to 30 years, but a roof is done when it leaks in several places, sags, or needs a new repair every season, and not before.
Note 03Is the roof deck replaced too?
Only where it is soft or damaged, and that is found once the layers are off. The quote carries a rate per board, agreed before the roof is open, so you pay for what is actually replaced, and you see the bare deck before it is covered.
