Your Roofer in Newbold, South Philadelphia
Looking for a roofer in Newbold? Top Tier Roofing's shop is at 200 Jackson Street, about 10 minutes away, and we can usually have someone at your door the same day.
Newbold runs west from Broad Street to 18th Street, on the east side of Point Breeze, near the Snyder and Tasker-Morris stops on the Broad Street Line. Since the 2000s, many of its blocks have been renovated or rebuilt, so original two-story rows now sit next to gut rehabs and new three-story homes. We repair and replace roofs on all of them.

Newbold Roofs We Work On
- Original two-story rows. Most older homes have a flat roof draining to the back, party walls on both sides, and often two or more layers from past patches. See our flat roof repair and replacement page.
- Gut rehabs and flips. Many homes were renovated quickly for resale. The inside looks new, but the roof may have been patched or covered instead of replaced, and problems show up a few years later.
- New three-story homes and roof decks. Newer builds often have a roof deck and pilot house. The roof under the deck and the flashing at the pilot house door are the most common leak points.
- Rear additions. Kitchen build-outs have their own low roof, and the joint with the main wall leaks after heavy rain.
Just Bought a Renovated Home in Newbold?
A lot of our Newbold calls come from people who bought a renovated house in the last few years and now have a leak. Sometimes the roof was replaced properly. Sometimes it was coated over or layered on top of an old roof to finish the flip. We'll get on the roof, tell you what was actually done, and show you photos. If it's a simple fix, we'll fix it. If the roof needs to be replaced, we'll explain why. When a taller house goes up next door, the flashing where your roof meets the new wall often fails too. Here's more on who fixes a leak between two rowhomes.

What Our Customers Say
Newbold Roofing FAQs
I bought a flipped house and the roof is leaking. Was it replaced?
Not always. Some flips get a full new roof, and some get a coating or a new layer over the old one. We'll check what's actually up there, send you photos, and tell you whether a repair will hold.
My roof deck is leaking. Do you have to take the whole deck off?
Usually not. Most leaks come from one area, like the posts or sleepers wearing through the roof or the flashing at the pilot house door. We lift only the part of the deck over the problem, repair the roof underneath, and reset it.
A new house went up next door and now my roof leaks. Why?
When a taller house is built next to yours, the flashing where your roof meets the new wall has to be redone, and more water runs onto your roof. If that joint wasn't tied in properly, water gets in along the party wall. We'll find the exact spot and send you photos.
