Poulterer Family Roofing | Roofing Services in Philadelphia, PA 19125

Ice dams are a serious concern for Philadelphia roofs. We address this by first conducting a thorough inspection to assess ventilation and insulation in your attic, which are often the root causes. For repairs, we carefully replace damaged sections and underlayment. For new installations or replacements, we recommend and install ice and water shield—a self-adhering membrane—along the eaves and in valleys. This critical step provides an extra barrier against water infiltration, a specific solution we've found essential for lasting protection in our local climate.

Our roof inspection is a comprehensive evaluation designed to give you a clear picture of your roof's health. We examine the shingles for issues like curling, cracking, or granule loss (common in our area), check the flashing around chimneys and vents for seals, inspect the gutters and downspouts for proper function, and assess the condition of the underlayment and decking from the attic. We provide a detailed, honest report with photos and clear explanations, so you understand any issues and the recommended solutions, whether it's a simple repair or planning for a future replacement.

Absolutely. As a full-service exterior company, we frequently coordinate roof and siding projects together, which can be more efficient and cost-effective for homeowners. Doing both allows for seamless integration of flashing and weather barriers where the roof meets the siding, ensuring superior protection against Philadelphia's weather. We manage the entire project timeline and crew coordination, minimizing disruption to your household. This integrated approach also ensures a cohesive look for your home's exterior, with our team overseeing quality across all aspects of the job.
