Roof & Slate Repair in Bryn Mawr, PA

Main Line houses were built with materials that outlast their flashing. If your roof is leaking, the first job is to work out whether the roof or the metalwork failed.

Why people call us in Bryn Mawr

  • Slates sliding out or cracked
  • Leaks at a chimney, valley or dormer
  • A replacement quote you want checked
  • Copper valleys and gutters at the end of their life

The roofs around here

Bryn Mawr has many older, larger homes, and slate and tile are common. On those roofs the flashing and fasteners usually fail long before the slate does.

Repair or replace?

Slate roofs are normally restored, not replaced. Shingle roofs on the same street follow the ordinary repair-versus-replace rules.

What changes the price

We do not publish price ranges, because a made-up range helps nobody. These are what an estimate is actually built from.

  • Whether the roof is slate, tile or shingle
  • How much copper and flashing work is needed
  • Whether the wood deck underneath needs replacing
  • The material you choose
  • Chimneys, skylights, dormers and valleys, which all add labor
  • Permit and disposal

What to expect

Straight answers to the questions people ask before they book.

How soon can you come out?
For most inspections and estimates, within a few days. If water is coming into your house right now, call us — active leaks jump the line.
How long will the appointment take?
Plan on 45 minutes to an hour. We walk the roof, check the attic when we can, take photos, and sit down with you to go over what we found and the written price.
Do I need to be home?
Yes, plan to be there. Sometimes we need to get into the house or the attic to find the real source of a leak. Being home also means you hear the findings straight from us instead of a phone call later.
What if it rains on my job day?
We don't tear off a roof when there's a real chance of rain. We follow a rain-percentage rule: if the forecast shows a meaningful chance of rain during the day, we push the tear-off to the next good day. Nobody races a storm with a tarp on your house.

Before we come out

A few small things make the visit faster and easier for everybody.

  • Let your neighbors know the day before — ladders and a dumpster are easier when they expect it.
  • Move cars out of the driveway and off the street in front of the house.
  • Keep pets inside, and please clean up the yard first.
  • Trim bushes and shrubs back from the sides of the house so the crew isn't standing in them.
  • Take down yard decorations, statues, solar lights and anything fragile near the walls.
  • Clear a path to the attic or crawlspace — we may need to check underneath the roof.
