Whitman Roofs We Work On

  • Brick rowhome flat roofs. Most Whitman homes are two-story brick rows with a flat roof draining to the back. Worn seams, ponding water, and failed party wall flashing cause most of the leaks we see. Many have been recoated or layered over more than once, which means a full tear-off at replacement. See our flat roof repair and replacement page.
  • Front porch roofs and awnings. Many Whitman rows have a front porch with its own small roof. It takes water off the main roof, and where it meets the front wall is a common leak point.
  • Rear additions. Kitchen build-outs have their own low-slope roof, and the joint with the main wall leaks after heavy rain.
  • Gutters and downspouts. Clogged or loose rear gutters and downspouts back water onto the roof and into the wall. See gutters and downspouts.

Wind and Weather by the River

Whitman's east side sits along I-95 and the Delaware, near the Walt Whitman Bridge, with open space and fewer tall buildings to block the wind. Wind-driven rain gets under loose flashing and lifted seams. If your roof is more than 15 to 20 years old, a yearly check is worth it, and after a big storm it's worth a look even if you don't see a leak yet.

What to Expect From a Roofer in Whitman

  • We're your neighbors. Our shop is on Jackson Street, so same-day visits are routine and we know these blocks.
  • We show you the problem. You'll get photos of what we found on the roof before we recommend anything.
  • We clean up. Narrow streets and neighbors a wall away mean we plan drop-off around the block and haul debris 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

Whitman Roofing FAQs

Is Top Tier really based in Whitman?

Yes. Our shop is at 200 Jackson Street, in the heart of Whitman. That's why we can usually have someone at your house the same day.

My front porch roof is leaking. Is that a separate repair?

Usually, yes. Porch roofs have their own roofing, separate from the main roof. We can repair or replace a porch roof on its own, and we'll check where it meets the front wall, since that joint is often the real source of the leak.

Should I recoat my rowhome 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 Whitman rowhome replacements are done in one day.

How quickly can you get to my house in Whitman?

We're right here on Jackson Street. We can usually have someone out the same day, and we take emergency leak calls 24/7.
