Roof Replacement in Upper Roxborough: what actually fails
In Upper Roxborough a post-war single with a plain gable is the simplest tear-off in this whole area, often one or two layers and a driveway for the dumpster. A house inside the Upper Roxborough Historic District is a different job: an older deck and framing that are looked at from the attic before a price goes on paper.
The northern end of Roxborough toward Montgomery County, built out mostly after 1950 around an older core: the Upper Roxborough Historic District, on the National Register since 2001.
- Wind-lifted shingles at ridges and rakes
- Additions and garages where they meet the house
- Room in the driveway for the dumpster

Call with the address
Tell us what you are seeing: a stain, a drip, shingles in the yard, a flat roof holding water.
Count what is under it
The top layer, then the edge where the layers show, then the attic or the underside of the roof where there is one.
A written quote with the unknowns priced
The work in plain language, the layer count, and a rate per deck board for whatever turns out soft, so the day the roof is open has no surprises in it.
Open it, close it, show it
Only as much stripped as can be dried in before the crew leaves.
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 how much comes off each dayOnly as much as can be dried in before the crew leaves. Ask what happens if rain arrives early, and what the roof is closed with overnight.

Call (267) 827-1752Note 01How 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 02Can a new roof go over the old one?
It is not quoted here. Roofers on these streets report roofs covered over again and again, as many as six layers on one Manayunk flat roof, and every layer hides the deck. Stripping to the deck costs more on the day and is the only way to know what the new roof is sitting on.
Note 03How 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.
