MG ROOFING
Philadelphia · Built Strong
Norristown · 19401 · 19403
The county seat, and the most Philadelphia-looking town in Montgomery County — brick and stone rows climbing off the Schuylkill, twins on the hill streets, and Victorian singles with steep pitches and built-in gutters behind the cornice.
What we see here
Rowhome roofs with a Montgomery County address. Cap sheet, silvercoat and box gutters on the older blocks, straight architectural shingle on the postwar stock out toward East and West Norriton.
Street by street
Norristown is not one kind of house, and the zip code you are in changes what tends to be wrong with the roof. Here is what we find where.
The county seat, and the most Philadelphia-looking town in Montgomery County — brick and stone rows climbing off the Schuylkill with flat rear roofs and built-in gutters behind the cornice. Cap sheet, silvercoat and box-gutter repair, on houses the same age as the city rows.
The postwar half: ranches, split-levels and colonials on open lots with straightforward pitched roofs. Full tear-off architectural shingle, and the low-pitch ranch eaves where ice gets into the ceiling before anybody sees a drip.

What fails on them fails the same way every time, which is why we can usually tell you on the phone what we expect to find before we are on the ladder. Drag the handle — both frames are one roof, from one standing position.
