A family roofing company serving Montchanin and the rest of Delaware through our network of local crews. Tin roofs, repairs and replacements done right.
From a single lifted panel to a full tear off, we handle every roofing job a Montchanin, DE home is likely to need.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
We still shingle plenty of roofs. Cracked, curled and blown off shingles get replaced, and the valleys and flashing get reworked while we are up there.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Guards installed as part of a roof job or on their own. Either way we check the hangers and the pitch while we are up there.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
Estimates are always free. That line has been on everything we have printed since 2002 and it still is. Somebody comes out to your Montchanin home, gets on the roof, looks in the attic if there is a way in, and leaves you a written price.
No pressure and no price that expires if you do not sign that day. If your Montchanin roof needs a repair rather than a replacement, we will tell you so, even though the repair is the smaller ticket.
A family roofing company that has kept the same habits since 2002.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
A few backed out screws or a whole roof off a church — we take both. No job is too small to get the same crew and the same care.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
Wondering about metal versus shingle, or what a new roof runs in Montchanin? Start here.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Montchanin metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
No. Estimates are always free in Montchanin. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Montchanin roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
A metal roof installed properly on a Montchanin home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Montchanin roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
Plenty of them. Most Montchanin customers choose from around twenty standard colors, and green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones people pick most. We bring the color chart out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
"Tore off two layers of old shingles and found rotten decking underneath. They showed me the boards, told me what the change would cost, and let me decide before going ahead."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"Ice was backing up at our eaves every winter. They cleared it, then went back and fixed the ventilation, and we have not had the problem since."
We take care of homeowners in these neighboring communities as well.
