If you need a roofing contractor in Upland, you should work with roofers who understand the borough’s long history and the homes that came with it. Upland’s name goes back to the early Swedish settlement along the Delaware, and the Caleb Pusey House on Race Street, built in 1683, is known as the oldest English-built house in Pennsylvania. The modern borough grew up around John Price Crozer’s mills on Chester Creek and was officially founded on May 24, 1869. Since so much of Upland developed around those mills, many homes here are older twins, rowhomes, and singles, some originally built for mill workers and their families. If you live in one of these homes, your roof has probably been redone several times, and those extra layers can hide water damage in the wood underneath.

Being right on Chester Creek, Upland homes also deal with extra moisture and storm runoff. Catalfano Brothers can check your gutters, flashing, and decking to stop leaks before they spread. We’ve served Delaware County homeowners since 2003, and we’re used to working on older homes packed close together. Homeowners who need an Upland roofing contractor can call us for a free estimate.

Rubber and TPO Roofing in Upland

For flat roofs, rubber and TPO are the two systems we install most often. Rubber (EPDM) is durable and easy to repair, while TPO is white and reflects more of the summer heat. Upland’s older twins and rowhomes often have flat rear roofs that need a durable membrane. We’ll explain the difference and help you pick the right one for your home or building. We can also install fiberglass on decks and other surfaces that get walked on. Questions about which is right? Call (215) 884-1266.

Roof Repair or Replacement? Upland Homeowners Ask Us Both

The first question most people ask is whether they need a new roof. Our answer depends on what we find. Being right on Chester Creek, Upland homes deal with extra moisture, so we check gutters, flashing and decking on every repair. 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.

Roofing Contractors in Upland, PA

Our crews install and repair asphalt shingle, cedar shake, slate, tile and metal roofs. That range matters, because the right material for a house depends on its age, its style and how long you plan to stay in it. Upland grew around the Crozer mills on Chester Creek, and many of its homes were built for mill workers. Catalfano Brothers is a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster and a 5-Star Vinyl Siding and Trim contractor, so we can handle the siding, gutters and trim at the same time as the roof if you need it. We’ve spent more than two decades as a Delaware County roofing contractor, and we hold ourselves to high standards on every job.

Some Signs You Need a Roofing Contractor in Upland

Your roof is leaking: Water stains on your ceiling or walls mean water is getting in somewhere. Have the roof inspected before the damage spreads.

Shingles are missing: Check your roof every so often, especially after a storm. Gaps leave the layers underneath exposed.

There’s mold or mildew: Growth on the roof can point to poor ventilation, trapped moisture or a hidden leak. Deal with it quickly.

Your energy bills jumped: A sudden increase can mean an insulation or ventilation problem in the attic.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs for Upland Homes

Most of the roofs we replace are asphalt shingle, and most of them get replaced with asphalt shingle again. It’s affordable, it’s reliable and it gives a house a clean, finished look. Upland homes have usually been reroofed several times, and the extra layers should come off. When we tear off an old shingle roof, we inspect the decking underneath and replace any boards that are soft or rotted before the new roof goes on. That step gets skipped on a lot of rushed jobs. Call Catalfano Brothers at (215) 884-1266 to talk about your options.

Upland 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. Upland is home to a large hospital campus and other buildings with big 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.

Slate Roof Repair in Upland

A slate roof doesn’t usually fail all at once. More often, a few slates crack or slip, or the flashing around a chimney wears out long before the slate itself does. Those problems can almost always be repaired without replacing the whole roof. We replace broken pieces with matching slate and make sure the repair blends in. To have your slate roof looked at, reach out to us here.

Upland Roofing Contractor FAQs

How long does a new roof usually last?

With a proper installation, you can expect about 30-50 years from architectural shingles, 40-70 years from metal and 100-200 years from slate. Attic ventilation, exposure to the weather and how well the roof is maintained all make a difference.

Why do the flat back roofs on Upland 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 you put new shingles over my old roof?

In most cases we take the old roof off first. It’s the only way to see the condition of the decking, and the new roof lasts longer when it’s installed on clean, solid wood.

What’s included in a roofing estimate?

Our estimates are free and in writing. We’ll look at the roof, note any decking or flashing issues, and list the materials and work involved so you can compare clearly.

Can my roof be repaired instead of replaced?

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.
