When hiring a Jenkintown roofing contractor, you should consider roofers that are familiar with the area and the build of the houses. Because Jenkintown has originally been around since 1697 and later incorporated in 1874, a lot of the houses and roofs are older and require specialized care. If you live in one of Jenkintown’s Victorian, a Colonial Revival, or an early 20th-century home with a steep roof, porch, or chimney, these need to be taken into consideration by the roofer. The east side of Jenkintown has a lot of larger single homes on bigger lots, while the west side has dense blocks of twins and chimneys. If you have a slate roof or an older, multi-layer roof, they can be troublesome without the right professional on the job.

Catalfano Brothers has worked as a Jenkintown roofing contractor since 2003, so we know the unique challenges of working on roofs in the borough. Those small lots and close neighbors mean we are careful with access and cleanup, and will keep an eye out for any clogged gutters from the area’s trees. If you need roof repair, replacement, or installation from a roofing contractor in Jenkintown, contact us today to get started.

Slate Roofing Contractor in Jenkintown

Not every roofer will work on slate. It’s slower, it takes special tools and it requires a different set of skills than a shingle roof. Jenkintown’s Victorian and Colonial Revival homes often have slate that can be kept with careful repairs. We’ve repaired and installed slate for years, including copper flashing, snow guards and ridge work. If you’re not sure whether your slate roof can be saved, we’ll give you an honest assessment. Get in touch with us to set up a visit.

Roofing Contractors Serving Jenkintown

For more than 20 years, homeowners have called Catalfano Brothers for roof repairs, roof replacements and new installs. Jenkintown packs a lot of older homes into a small borough, from larger singles on the east side to dense blocks of twins on the west. 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 Montgomery County for years. We also handle siding, windows, doors and gutters.

Residential Roof Repair in Jenkintown

Did you know a roof can often be repaired instead of replaced? Flashing can be resealed, damaged shingles can be swapped out, and soft spots in the decking can be fixed without tearing the whole roof off. Older Jenkintown roofs often have several layers, and we check what’s underneath before we recommend anything. Plenty of roofing companies skip repair work altogether because replacements pay more. We do both, and we’ll tell you which one makes sense for your house after we’ve been up on the roof. Give us a call at (215) 884-1266 and we’ll take a look.

Warning Signs for Jenkintown 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.

Jenkintown 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. Twins on Jenkintown’s west side often have a flat roof in the back that needs its own membrane. 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.

Jenkintown 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. Plenty of Jenkintown twins have a shingled front slope that’s due for a tear-off. 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.

Jenkintown Metal Roofs

Homeowners usually come to us about metal for one of two reasons: they want a roof that will last for the rest of the time they own the house, or they like the look. Either way, metal delivers. We’ll help you choose a profile and color, and we’ll make sure the trim, flashing and fasteners are all installed the right way. Metal estimates are free, just call (215) 884-1266.

Roofing Questions From Jenkintown Homeowners

What warranty comes with a new roof?

Yes. Our roof projects can be covered by the Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Warranty: 50 years on the shingles and 50 years on the workmanship.

How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?

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.

How many days will my roof replacement take?

Most residential roofs are finished in one day, depending on the size, the weather and how complex the roof is. Larger or more complicated roofs can take 2 to 3 days. We’ll give you a clear timeline before any work starts.

Can you repair slate on older homes in Jenkintown?

We do. Older slate roofs usually fail at the flashing and a few broken pieces first, and those can be repaired without replacing the whole roof.

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.
