About our roof replacement in Roxborough
A replacement in Roxborough is estimated at $7,000 to $11,000 for a twin or single, by one Philadelphia roofer's published table, and what decides where a house lands is under the top layer.

What needs a roofer today, and what can wait
The tear-off is the riskiest day a roof has. Most of what makes it safe is decided beforehand.
Call today
- Daylight in the atticIf you can see sky through the deck, rain will find the same gap. That is a repair today, whatever happens next.
- A deck that gives underfoot or sagsA dip you can see is soft boards or worse, and it decides how the tear-off has to be staged.
- A roof left open by somebody elseIf a job has stopped with the roof stripped, get it dried in today. Who finishes it can be settled afterwards.

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Ask how many layers are on itA roofer can count them at an edge or with a small core on a flat roof. If nobody has looked, nobody can price the tear-off, and the difference turns up on the day.
- Get the deck priced as a rateSoft boards are only certain once the layers are off, so the quote should carry a price per board, agreed before anything comes off, not a number argued about with the roof open.
- Ask how much comes off each dayOnly as much as can be dried in before the crew leaves. Ask what happens if rain arrives early, and what the roof is closed with overnight.
- Ask to see the bare deckBefore the new roof covers it: which boards were replaced, which were kept, which flashings were renewed. Photographs of each stage, yours to keep.

Call (267) 827-1752Note 01What is the most expensive part of replacing a roof?
Usually labor on a complicated roof, and on these houses, what is under the top layer. Each old layer has to be stripped and hauled, and the original board decks here often have boards that have rotted through. That is why the layers are counted at an edge and the deck is priced per board in the quote, before the roof is open, rather than discovered on the day.
Note 02Do you need a permit to get your roof redone?
In Philadelphia, yes. A re-roof needs a permit from the Department of Licenses and Inspections, and replacing the roof covering is an EZ permit, with no plans, when the job follows the city's EZ standard. A building on the city's historic register goes to the Historical Commission first. The contractor doing the work normally pulls the permit, and it should be named in the quote.
Note 03What is the typical cost of replacing a flat roof in Philadelphia?
Replacing a 1,000-square-foot flat roof in Philadelphia is estimated at $3,000 to $12,000, with materials at about $4 to $12 a square foot. Most back roofs on row homes and twins are smaller than that. What moves the price most is how many old layers are on it, because every one has to come off and leave the site before the new roof goes down.
Note 04What to look for when choosing a roofing contractor?
Pennsylvania registers home improvement contractors through the Attorney General, and in Philadelphia a registered contractor also needs a Commercial Activity License to work on a one- or two-family home. Ask for both numbers on the quote. Then ask how many layers they found, how the deck is priced, how much comes off each day, and whether you will see the bare deck before it is covered.
