If you’re hiring a roofing contractor in Phoenixville, make sure they have experience with the tightly packed homes this borough is known for. Phoenixville grew up around the Phoenix Iron Works, which started out in 1790 as the first nail factory in the country and later gave the town its name. All of those iron jobs meant housing, and a lot of it went up fast on the hills above French Creek.

Today the borough is full of brick rowhomes, twins, and worker houses built close together. Many have flat roofs or low-slope rear roofs, aging chimneys, and several layers of old roofing hiding worn decking. Shared walls mean any work along the roof line has to be sealed on both sides. Bigger Victorian homes in town bring steep roofs and slate that need careful repair. Catalfano Brothers is comfortable with all of it, and we’ve handled roofing projects in Chester County since 2003. If you need a Phoenixville roofing contractor who knows these homes, call us and we’ll come take a look.

Phoenixville PA Roofing Contractors

Catalfano Brothers has been working on roofs around the Philadelphia suburbs for over 20 years. Most of what we do is residential: roof repairs, full replacements, and new installs, along with siding, windows, doors and gutters. Phoenixville is full of brick rowhomes, twins and worker houses from its iron works days, plus bigger Victorians in town. We are a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster contractor, and we’ve been a Chester County roofing contractor for a long time. We install asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, slate, tile and metal, and we use quality products on every job.

Phoenixville Flat Roofing Contractor

Flat and low-slope roofs need a different approach than a pitched roof. Water doesn’t run off as quickly, so the roofing has to be fully sealed. Rowhomes up the hills from French Creek in Phoenixville usually have a flat or nearly flat roof in back. We install EPDM rubber, TPO and fiberglass systems that are built for that kind of roof. If yours has started to bubble, crack or hold water after a storm, it’s time to have it checked. Call (215) 884-1266 for an estimate.

Roof Repair or Replacement? Phoenixville Homeowners Ask Us Both

The first question most people ask is whether they need a new roof. Our answer depends on what we find. Steep streets above French Creek make access tricky in Phoenixville, but we’re used to staging ladders on hills. A roof that’s 12 years old with storm damage in one section usually just needs a repair. A roof that’s 25 years old with curling shingles across every slope is a different story. We look at the age, the decking, the flashing and the ventilation before we make a recommendation, and we won’t sell you a replacement you don’t need. Call (215) 884-1266 for a free inspection.

When to Call a Phoenixville Roofing Contractor

Granules in the gutters: When shingles start shedding their granules, they’re wearing out and losing their protection from the sun.

Curling or cracked shingles: Shingles that cup, curl or crack can’t keep water out the way they should.

Stains on the ceiling: Even a small brown spot can mean water has been coming in for a while.

The roof is getting old: If your roof is past the age the manufacturer recommends, it’s worth having it inspected even if nothing looks wrong.

Phoenixville Shingle Roofing Contractor

Asphalt shingles are on more homes than any other roofing material, and for good reason. They cost less than most other options, they come in a lot of colors and they fit the look of just about any house. Phoenixville’s twins and singles often have several layers of old roofing hiding worn decking. Today’s architectural shingles are thicker and hold up better in wind than the flat 3-tab shingles that were common years ago. Our crews keep the job site safe and clean up debris as they go. Call (215) 884-1266 to get an estimate on a new shingle roof.

Phoenixville Commercial Roofing

Commercial roofs come with different challenges than homes. They’re bigger, they’re usually flat or low-slope and there are often people working inside while the job is going on. Bridge Street in Phoenixville is lined with restaurants and shops in older buildings, many with flat roofs. Our commercial crews have done everything from small repairs to complete roof system installations, and we work closely with building owners and property managers to keep things running smoothly. We also offer service plans that help extend the life of your roof. Property owners can call (215) 884-1266 to talk through a project.

Phoenixville Roofing Contractor FAQs

What are the signs I need a new roof?

The most common signs are curling or missing shingles, granules in the gutters, leaks or stains inside, and spots that sag or feel soft. If you notice any of these, or the roof is simply old, an inspection will tell you whether it can be repaired or needs to be replaced.

Will you protect my property during the job?

Our crews cover landscaping, haul away the old roofing and go over the yard and driveway for stray nails before they leave.

Do you tear off the old roof first?

Adding a layer over old shingles is sometimes possible, but in most cases we recommend a full tear-off. That lets us check the decking, replace any soft wood and install the new roof on a solid base.

Why do the flat back roofs on Phoenixville twins and rowhomes leak?

Most leaks on flat back roofs come from open seams, clogged drains or worn flashing where the roof meets a wall. We find the source and fix it, or replace the roof with a new membrane if it’s worn out.

Do you offer financing?

We do. Flexible financing lets you spread the cost of a new roof into affordable monthly payments, and our team can explain the options when we give you your estimate.
