Two questions, then someone calls you back to set a time. Usually the same day.

What do you need?

The porch roof is the problem in Delco. Almost every older house here has a porch or a rear addition with a roof far flatter than the main one. Shingles cannot shed water at that pitch, so it needs a membrane, and putting shingles on it anyway is the most common failure found on inspections in this county.

What Delaware County homeowners call about

Full tear-off and a new GAF system, priced by the roof in front of us rather than a flat rate.
Valleys, flashing, chimneys and the seams where additions meet the house. Fixed properly when a repair will hold.
Photographs of what is on the roof and a straight answer on whether it needs anything.
Water coming in now gets a temporary fix first, then the permanent repair.
Wind and hail damage documented the way your insurance carrier needs to see it.
Often done alongside the roof, so the house is only disrupted once.

Why it leaks

Two roofs on one house

The main roof and the porch roof are different jobs. The main roof is steep enough for shingles. The porch, the rear addition, the bay window cap and the shed dormer are usually not, and each one is a separate detail where the two systems meet.

That meeting point is where water gets in, and it is why a homeowner can put a whole new roof on and still have a stain on the living room ceiling six months later. If the porch was left alone, the roof was not finished.

Housing here also runs older than most of the region, a lot of it built between the twenties and the fifties, so decking condition matters more. What is under the shingles gets photographed during the tear-off rather than described after the fact.

The damage to my home was significant, there was major water damage from a storm. Austin came out the very next day, assessed the job quickly, and got us back in our home.

Condition One operates like a well oiled machine. The crews were punctual, courteous, efficient, and tidy. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

The job was done better than I could've ever expected. They started at 6:15 am and were done by 4:30 pm. As a veteran I like to deal with veterans, and they did not let me down whatsoever.

Delaware County questions

What people here ask

I got a new roof and it still leaks. How?

Usually the porch or the rear addition was not part of the job.

Ask whoever did it what went on the low slope sections. If the answer is shingles, that is the leak. A free inspection will show you photos of the transition so you can see it for yourself.

The houses are attached. Does my neighbor need to do theirs at the same time?

No, though the shared wall between you has to be flashed properly whichever side is being worked on.

That detail gets built into the quote rather than treated as an extra when the crew is already up there.

Can you get a dumpster onto my street?

Usually, and it gets worked out before the day of the tear-off.

Narrow streets and permit parking are normal here. Knowing where material and debris can sit is what keeps a job to one day instead of two.

Do you do slate?

It depends on the condition of the slate and the deck under it.

Some are worth repairing, some have been patched past the point of sense. That is a look-first conversation, and you will get a straight read rather than an automatic pitch for a full replacement.
