The General Roofing & Contracting | Roofing Services in Fort Washington, PA 19034

In Fort Washington, ice dams often form along roof edges after winter storms, leading to water backup under shingles. Key signs include icicles along gutters, interior water stains on walls or ceilings, and peeling paint. We address this by safely removing the ice dam, inspecting for water damage, and repairing compromised sections of roof decking, shingles, and insulation. A long-term solution often involves improving attic ventilation and insulation to prevent future dam formation, which we can handle as part of our general contracting services.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the condition and extent of the damage. We typically recommend repair for isolated issues like a single seam leak, a small hole, or a section that has pulled away from the fascia. A full replacement becomes necessary when there is widespread rust or corrosion, persistent sagging, multiple leaks, or recurring clogs that cleaning can't resolve. During our free consultation, we'll inspect your gutter system, explain the pros and cons for your specific situation in Fort Washington, and provide a clear recommendation.

Our new roof installation process is designed for thoroughness and minimal disruption. It begins with a detailed inspection and measurement of your existing roof. We then help you select the right materials for your home and budget. On installation day, our crew will carefully remove the old roofing materials, inspect and repair the roof deck if needed, install new underlayment for added protection, and expertly install your new shingles. We handle all cleanup and final inspection to ensure your new roof meets our standards for durability and weather resistance, giving you long-term peace of mind.
