Storm Damage Roof Repair in Shawmont, Roxborough: what actually fails
The city's hazard plan records trees reported down in the Roxborough and Shawmont area, and on Shawmont's big wooded lots that is the storm damage to expect: a limb through one slope. The limb comes off first, then the opening is closed and the framing checked.
The rural-feeling corner of Upper Roxborough above the Schuylkill, around Shawmont Avenue and the historic Shawmont Station, where farm and mill land was filled in late in the 20th century.
- Valleys and gutters packed with leaves
- Moss on shaded slopes

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.
- 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.

Call (267) 827-1752Note 01Can a tree limb on the roof wait until morning?
If nothing is coming through and nobody is under it, often yes, and in the dark it is usually safer to wait. If water is coming in, call: the water is managed inside tonight, and the limb comes off before the cover goes on.
Note 02Does storm damage mean I need a new roof?
Usually not. Most storm damage is a bounded section, repaired in kind. Where a storm has exposed an old roof that was near the end anyway, you will be told that in writing, with the repair priced alongside so the two can be compared.
Note 03Should I have trees trimmed before the roof is repaired?
Where a dead or overhanging limb is over the repair, yes. A new section under the branch that damaged the old one is waiting for the next storm. On big wooded lots the tree work often comes first.
