Rittenhouse Roofs We Work On
- Townhouses with roof decks. A roof deck is one of the most popular upgrades in Rittenhouse. The roof under it wears where the posts and sleepers sit, and the pilot house door is a common leak point.
- Brick and brownstone townhouses. Behind the front cornice, most have a flat roof over the main house and a lower one over the rear section, often with layers from past repairs. See our flat roof repair and replacement page.
- Carriage houses on the small streets. Homes on streets like Panama, Waverly and Addison sit tight together under low flat roofs, and the flashing along the party walls is where most leaks start.
- Townhouses split into condos. One roof covers several units, so a leak in the top floor unit can start anywhere on the roof. We work with owners and condo associations and send everyone the same photos.
Roof Deck Leaks in Rittenhouse
Many of our Rittenhouse calls start with a water stain on a top floor ceiling under a roof deck. The usual cause is the deck itself: over time, the posts and sleepers wear through the roof below them, or the flashing around the pilot house door gives out. Patching around the deck rarely lasts. We lift the section of the deck over the leak, repair the roof underneath, and put the deck back. When the roof under a deck needs replacing, we install an EPDM roof, which holds up well under decks and is easy to repair if a section ever has to come up.
What to Expect From a Roofer in Rittenhouse
- We protect your home. Many Rittenhouse homes have narrow, finished stairways up to the roof, so we cover stairs and floors and keep the work area clean.
- We show you the problem. You'll get photos of what we found on the roof before we recommend anything.
- We're respectful of your block. We plan drop-off around tight streets, parking and your neighbors, and debris goes out the same day.
- We stand behind it. Every job carries a 10-year workmanship warranty, and Top Tier is Google Guaranteed. Financing is available.

What Our Customers Say
Rittenhouse Roofing FAQs
I own a condo in a converted townhouse. Who takes care of the roof?
In most converted buildings the roof is shared, so repairs are usually decided by the condo association or all the owners together. Check your condo documents to be sure. We can inspect the whole roof, send the same photos to every owner, and give one estimate for the building.
Can you fix a leak under my roof deck without taking the deck off?
In most cases, yes. We lift only the section of the deck over the leak, repair the roof underneath, and put that section back. If more of the deck has to come up, we'll tell you before we start.
Can my neighbor's roof cause a leak in my house?
Yes. Attached homes share a party wall, and the roofs meet on top of it, so failed flashing on either side can let water into both houses. We'll show you photos and tell you honestly if the problem is next door. Here's more on who fixes a leak between two rowhomes.
How quickly can you get to Rittenhouse?
Our shop is at 200 Jackson Street, about 15 minutes away. We can usually have someone out the same day, and we take emergency leak calls 24/7.
