Chester Roofing Contractor PA
Need Roofing Contractors in Chester Pennsylvania?
Call (215) 884-1266
As a Chester roofing contractor, we work in what’s recognized as Pennsylvania’s oldest city, first settled by Swedish colonists as early as 1644. Today, Chester is largely defined by its dense concentration of historic brick rowhomes and modern multi-family properties. We work on both types of buildings all the time.
Because many commercial and residential properties in Chester feature a flat or low-sloped roof, we can apply a cutting-edge synthetic rubber membrane solution that fortifies your flat roof overall. Whether your flat roof needs replacement or repair, we carry TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) systems. We can also install a super-sturdy flat metal roof that requires little-to-no maintenance in the long run. If you’re looking for a reinforcement-forward project, we can apply a fiberglass, silicone, or elastomeric roof coating solution to your flat roof.

Roofing Contractors Serving Chester
For more than 20 years, homeowners have called Catalfano Brothers for roof repairs, roof replacements and new installs. Chester is mostly brick rowhomes and multi-family buildings, and we work on both kinds regularly. We work with asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, slate, tile and metal, so we’re not going to push one material on you just because it’s the only one we know. CertainTeed lists us as both a Select ShingleMaster and a 5-Star Vinyl Siding and Trim contractor, and our crews have worked across Delaware County for years. We also handle siding, windows, doors and gutters.
Flat Roofs for Chester Homes
A lot of homes have at least one flat section, whether it’s the main roof, a back addition or a porch. Those sections tend to leak first, since they hold more water than the rest of the house. We replace old tar and built-up roofs with modern EPDM or TPO membranes that are seamless or heat-welded, which makes them much more watertight. Rubber roofing is the bread and butter of rowhome work in Chester, since almost every house on the block has a flat roof. Call (215) 884-1266 to have your flat roof looked at.
Chester Roof Repairs
Some roofers only want to do full replacements. They’ll put a new roof on quickly and move to the next job, and rushed work like that can cause problems with your manufacturer’s warranty down the road. On Chester rowhomes, a leak can come from the house next door, so we check where the roofs meet before we fix anything. We take on repairs as well as replacements, because a well-done repair can buy you years before you need to spend the money on a new roof. When a replacement is the better call, we’ll explain it plainly. You can reach us at (215) 884-1266.
Signs You May Need a New Roof in Chester
The roof is 20 years old or more: Many older shingle roofs are near the end of their life by this point, even if they still look okay from the ground.
Several repairs in a few years: If you keep patching the same roof, a replacement may cost less over time.
Mold or mildew: Growth on the roof or in the attic points to moisture that needs to be dealt with before it causes bigger problems.
Missing shingles: Even a few missing shingles can compromise the rest of the roof if they’re not replaced.
Chester Asphalt Shingle Installation
A shingle roof is a good fit for most budgets. It protects well against rain and snow, and there are enough styles and colors that you can match your siding and trim without much trouble. Chester’s twins and singles with pitched roofs often have two or three layers of shingles piled on over the years. We pay close attention to safety on every shingle job, from how materials are loaded onto the roof to how old shingles and nails are cleared from your yard and driveway at the end of the day. If an affordable roof with a classic look is what you’re after, call (215) 884-1266.
Commercial Roofing for Chester Businesses
Running a business is hard enough without worrying about the roof. Chester has a lot of commercial and multi-family buildings with flat roofs that need regular maintenance. Catalfano Brothers handles commercial roof repairs, replacements, new installations and gutter cleaning, and we’ll work with you to schedule the job at a time that causes the least disruption. Our commercial roofers have years of experience with flat and low-slope systems. If you need a roofer for your building, call (215) 884-1266.

Roofing Questions From Chester Homeowners
How do you clean up after a roof replacement?
Our crews cover landscaping, haul away the old roofing and go over the yard and driveway for stray nails before they leave.
Why do the flat back roofs on Chester twins and rowhomes leak?
Flat sections hold water longer than pitched roofs, so seams, drains and flashing wear out first. Replacing an old flat roof with EPDM or TPO usually solves the problem.
Can I finance a new roof?
Yes. We have financing programs with affordable monthly payments, and we’ll walk you through each one so you can pick what fits your budget.
What should I do if a storm damages my roof?
Yes. Wind, hail and fallen branches can do damage you can’t see from the ground. We’ll check the whole roof and let you know if repairs are needed.
What are the signs I need a new roof?
Common signs include:
- Missing, cracked or curling shingles
- Granules in the gutters
- Leaks or water stains inside the home
- Sagging areas
- Soft spots
- A roof older than the manufacturer recommends
A professional roof inspection is the best way to tell whether you need a repair or a replacement.
