Fishtown rowhome roofing without the generic answers.

Closely spaced buildings and flat rooflines create their own set of drainage, access and flashing decisions. That is where our experience is focused.

Your roof does not stop being complicated because it is small

A rowhome roof may have a compact footprint, yet it can include party-wall transitions, parapets, skylights, soil stacks, old vents, roof decks and multiple layers from past work. Water can also move from a neighboring condition before it appears inside your home.

Rowhome roofing depends on the transitions as much as the main surface.

We also evaluate the membrane’s condition and compatibility with any proposed patch or coating. Adding material without understanding what is beneath it can hide moisture and make the next repair harder.

Repair, recover or replace?

A localized defect on an otherwise serviceable roof may be repairable. A dry, stable existing system may sometimes qualify for a compatible recover or coating. Saturated insulation, soft decking, extensive separation or too many layers can point toward removal and replacement.

We explain the observable conditions and the tradeoffs so you can make a decision based on the building—not just the lowest initial number.

Respect for an occupied home

  • Access and material staging planned before work begins
  • Protection for the immediate work and delivery areas
  • Communication about noise, odors and roof access
  • Cleanup of roofing debris and loose fasteners
  • Final review of the completed scope
