Street by street

Both halves of it.

Roxborough & Manayunk 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.

19128

Roxborough

Stone twins and frame singles under mature oak and sycamore, on roof planes that drain hard into short gutter runs. This is the postcode where guards actually pay for themselves, and where 6″ gutter with a 3×4 downspout is usually the real fix rather than another cleaning.

19127

Manayunk

Some of the steepest streets in Philadelphia, with hillside rows stacked so tight that a ladder has to go up from the street below. Steep, visible roof planes and awkward staging — worth saying up front that we price the access here honestly rather than discovering it on the day.

Overshoot is the standard complaint up here, and under this many oaks and sycamores guards actually earn their money. This is 6″ gutter and 3×4 downspout country, and most of these houses have neither. 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.

Roxborough & Manayunk FAQ

Yes — Roxborough & Manayunk (19128 · 19127) is one of the neighbourhoods we cover regularly, along with Ridge Ave, Main Street, Andorra and the streets around them. Residential only.
Emergencies, the same day — that is what the 24/7 line is for. Free inspections and estimates, usually within the same week. We are in this part of the city every week.
It comes down to your roof, not your postcode: square footage, pitch, how many layers are coming off, decking condition and how much flashing there is. The inspection and the written estimate are both free, so you get a real number rather than a range.
Both, and in this city most houses need someone who does. Granulated cap sheet and coatings on the flat and low-slope sections, GAF shingle systems on anything pitched.
