East Passyunk Roofs We Work On
- Century-old rowhome flat roofs. The typical East Passyunk row has a flat roof draining to the back, shared party walls, and decades of patches. Worn seams, ponding water, and failed party wall flashing cause most of the leaks we see. See our flat roof repair and replacement page.
- Buildings along Passyunk Avenue. Many shops and restaurants on the Avenue have apartments upstairs and a flat roof over both. We schedule around business hours and tenants and keep the sidewalk clear.
- Renovated homes with roof decks. Gut renovations often added a roof deck or pilot house. The roof under the deck and the flashing at the pilot house door are where these leak most.
- Rear additions. Kitchen build-outs have their own low-slope roof, and the joint with the main wall is a classic leak point after heavy rain.
Older Homes, Older Roofs
A 100-year-old house has usually been through several roofs, and not all of them came off before the next one went on. When we replace an East Passyunk roof, we often find two or three layers and soft or rotted deck boards. We tear off down to the deck, replace any bad boards, rebuild the flashing at the party walls and parapets, and make sure water drains to the back. Most rowhome replacements are done in one day.

What Our Customers Say
East Passyunk Roofing FAQs
My house is over 100 years old. Will you need to tear off the old roof?
Usually, yes. Older rows often have two or three layers of roofing, and a new roof should go down on a clean, solid deck. We tear off to the deck, replace any rotted boards, and haul everything away the same day. Most rowhome replacements are done in one day.
Can you fix a leak under my roof deck?
Yes. Leaks under decks usually come from the posts or sleepers wearing through the membrane, or from flashing at the pilot house door. The lasting fix is to lift the affected part of the deck, repair the roof underneath, and reset the deck. We'll tell you up front if that's needed.
I own a building on Passyunk Avenue with a business downstairs. Can you work without closing the shop?
Usually, yes. We schedule around business hours and tenants, keep the sidewalk and entrance clear, and stage materials so the business can stay open.
