If you are looking for a Glenolden roofing contractor, work with expert roofers that know the borough and its history. Catalfano Brothers has offered roofing services in Glenolden and throughout eastern Delaware County since 2003. We know the different types of buildings and how to work with them in the area. Have a steep front roof, porch, and brick chimney on your twin, single, or rowhome? It was likely built between the 1890s-1950s and is showing signs of wear and tear or leaks. If your roof has multiple layers, you may have some decking on the inside that needs some replacement, and should be inspected.

We take great pride in our knowledge of the town’s history and how to best work on each home type in Glenolden. While the borough was incorporated in 1894, its history dates a little earlier back to 1872 when the Darby Improvement rail line opened with a stone station here. It saw rapid growth with newspapers calling it a boom town in 1895. With so many homes being added in the 1920s, it’s important to work with a roofer that knows this about Glenolden so your project can get done right. If you need a roofing contractor in Glenolden PA, call Catalfano Brothers and request your free consultation.

Glenolden Low-Slope Roofing

Low-slope roofs are common on rowhomes, additions and commercial buildings. Rowhomes in Glenolden almost always have a flat back roof, and rubber is usually the best fix for it. We install fiberglass, EPDM and TPO, and each one has its own strengths depending on how the roof is used and how much foot traffic it gets. Whatever we install, we pay extra attention to the edges and drains, since that’s where most flat roof leaks begin. For a free estimate, call us at (215) 884-1266.

Roof Repair or Replacement? Glenolden Homeowners Ask Us Both

The first question most people ask is whether they need a new roof. Our answer depends on what we find. It’s common to find two or three layers on a Glenolden roof, so we check the boards underneath before patching. 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.

Warning Signs for Glenolden Homeowners

Ice dams in the winter: Ridges of ice along the edge of the roof usually mean heat is escaping into the attic. They can push water under the shingles.

Shingles in the yard: Finding pieces of shingle on the ground after a windstorm is a good reason to have the roof checked.

A musty attic: A damp smell or visible mold in the attic can mean the roof isn’t venting properly or is letting water in.

Gutters overflowing: Clogged or sagging gutters can send water back under the roof edge and rot the fascia.

New Shingle Roofs in Glenolden

Shingles are the most popular roofing choice we install, mostly because of price. They come in well under slate or metal, and a quality shingle roof can last for decades when it’s put on correctly. Ventilation is a big part of that. An attic that can’t breathe will cook shingles from underneath, so we check your intake and exhaust vents on every job. The steep front roofs on Glenolden twins and singles are mostly shingled and many need replacing. Call us at (215) 884-1266 to request a shingle roof estimate.

Glenolden Roofing Contractor FAQs

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.

Why do the flat back roofs on Glenolden 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.

How much does a new roof cost?

Most homeowners spend between $7,500 and $25,000. Where your roof falls in that range depends on its size and pitch, the material you choose, the condition of the decking and how many old layers have to come off. Our written estimates are free.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

It depends on how widespread the damage is and how old the roof is. A newer roof with one problem area should be repaired. A roof that’s worn out everywhere is usually better replaced. We inspect first and give you a straight answer.

Do you work on slate, metal and flat roofs?

Just about all of them: architectural shingles, slate, cedar shake, tile, metal, and flat roofing systems like EPDM, TPO and fiberglass.
