Roof Replacement in Wissahickon, Philadelphia: what actually fails
A Wissahickon Victorian is among the costliest roofs in this area to replace: dormers, valleys, bays and porch roofs, each with its own flashing. Ask whether the house is on Philadelphia's historic register before the permit goes in, because the Historical Commission comes before L&I where it applies.
Its own neighborhood next to Roxborough, built from the 1880s, with Wissahickon Presbyterian Church (1893) at Ridge Avenue and Dawson Street and the c. 1890 James Sibbald House on Ridge.

Call (267) 827-1752Note 01Is 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.
Note 02How 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 03Should a 20 year old roof replace?
Not on age alone. Asphalt shingles are generally rated at 15 to 30 years, so twenty is when a roof deserves a look, not an automatic replacement. If the shingles hold their granules, the flashings are sound and the attic shows no water tracks, it may have years left, and a repair is the right spend.
