Roof Replacement in Manayunk, Philadelphia: what actually fails

On a Manayunk row home every shingle and every old layer leaves through the front door or over the front wall, because there is usually no rear access. Roofers here have reported six layers on one flat roof, so the tear-off route and the layer count are both priced in the quote, not discovered on the day.

Roxborough's neighbor down the hill, ZIP 19127, built between the 1840s and the 1900s, with Main Street Manayunk on the Philadelphia Register since 1984.

  • Shared parapets with both neighbors
  • Cover weighted for wind on the hill
  • Tear-off route through the front of the house
  • Flat back roofs cored for layers

04Before we arrive

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder

  1. 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.
  2. Get the deck priced as a rateSoft boards are only certain once the layers are off, so the quote should carry a price per board, agreed before anything comes off, not a number argued about with the roof open.

Note 01How much does it cost to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot house?

Floor area is the wrong number to price from, but as a guide: a Roxborough or Manayunk twin or single is estimated at $7,000 to $11,000, and a published Philadelphia figure for a 2,000-square-foot home averages $16,400. Pitch, valleys and the layer count move it from there.

Note 02How long do shingles on a roof last?

Asphalt shingles are generally rated at 15 to 30 years. Where a roof lands in that span depends on the shingle, the ventilation under it and what it was laid over. Granules collecting in the gutters and curling edges are the signs it is near the end.

Note 03Do 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.
