What a Wharton Roofer Works On
- Two-story brick rows. Most Wharton homes have a flat roof draining to the back, party walls on both sides, and often two or more layers from past patches and recoats. See our flat roof repair and replacement page.
- Renovated homes and roof decks. Many houses here have been gutted and rebuilt with a third floor or a roof deck. The roof under the deck and the flashing around the pilot house door are where we see leaks most.
- Rentals. There are a lot of rental rows near the Italian Market. We work with landlords on quick repairs between tenants and can send photos when you can't be there.
- Shops with apartments above. Along 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, many buildings have a storefront below and apartments above. We schedule work around business hours and keep the sidewalk clear.
Roof Problems We See Around Wharton Street
The most common call from Wharton is a leak at the back of the house. On a flat rowhome roof, water drains toward the rear, and when the drain, scupper or downspout clogs, it backs up and finds the weakest seam. The second most common is a leak along the party wall, where your roof meets your neighbor's. We'll get on the roof, find exactly where the water is getting in, and show you photos before we recommend anything. If the problem is next door, we'll tell you. Here's more on who fixes a leak between two rowhomes.

What Our Customers Say
Wharton Roofing FAQs
Water is coming in at the back of my house. What's usually wrong?
On a flat rowhome roof, water drains to the back. If the drain, scupper or downspout is clogged or the flashing there has failed, water backs up and gets in. We'll find the exact spot and send you photos.
I'm a landlord. Can you handle a repair without me being there?
Yes. We can meet your tenant, do the work, and send you photos of the problem and the finished repair. We can usually have someone out the same day.
Should I recoat my roof or replace it?
A coating can add years if the roof is still dry underneath and the seams are mostly sound. If there are multiple leaks, soft spots, or two layers already on the roof, replacement is the better money. Most rowhome replacements are done in one day.
