A live person answers, 24/7.
Broomall’s homes were built in a single surge between the late 1940s and mid-1960s. That means original board-sheathed decking, shallow roof pitches, and mature oak canopies that drop debris year-round. We’ve replaced roofs on Lawrence Road, West Chester Pike corridor properties, and throughout the 19008 ZIP code. We know how to coordinate alley access on narrow lots, navigate Marple Township’s permit requirements, and spot the hidden moisture damage that lurks beneath 60-year-old shingles. Roof Replacement & Installation in Broomall is not generic work - it requires local knowledge earned over decades.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Broomall
Full Roof Replacement
Broomall’s postwar Cape Cods and split-levels are now 60-75 years old. When we tear off original shingles on these homes, we routinely find rotted board decking beneath - not plywood, but the original pine boards installed when Truman was president. A surface swap would leave that decay in place. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team removes everything down to the rafters when necessary, installs new OSB or plywood decking, and applies Marple Township-required ice-and-water shield before the first shingle goes on. We recently replaced the roof on a classic split-level on Lawrence Road in Broomall. The homeowner noticed water stains in the upstairs bathroom. When we tore off the original asphalt shingles (installed circa 1965), we found rotted board decking around the plumbing vent - a common issue in these 1950s tract homes. We installed new OSB decking, GAF Timberline HDZ shingles, and Marple Township-required ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys. The job took three days with alley-access coordination per township rules.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles remain the practical choice for most Broomall homes, and we install them with an eye toward the local climate. Broomall sits far enough from the Delaware River to experience hard freeze-thaw cycling each winter. Heavy wet snow from nor’easters sits on low-pitched Cape Cod sections, and the melt-refreeze cycle at eave lines drives ice dams. We specify architectural-grade shingles with 130-mph wind ratings and full ice-and-water shield protection - not the three-tab minimums some crews slap on to win a bid. A typical asphalt shingle replacement on a Broomall Cape Cod runs $8,500-$14,000; split-levels with more complex valley work range $12,000-$18,000.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing makes sense for Broomall homeowners planning to stay put for decades. The standing-seam systems we install shed snow faster than asphalt, resist the algae and moss that thrive under Broomall’s dense oak canopy, and carry 40- to 50-year warranties. On low-pitch sections where asphalt struggles, metal is often the correct long-term solution. Expect $18,000-$28,000 for a full metal replacement on a typical Broomall home, with premium finishes available from our authorized Atlas and CertainTeed lines.
New Construction
While Broomall is largely built out, we do handle additions, garage builds, and teardown-rebuilds in the 19008 area. New construction allows us to engineer proper pitch from the start - correcting the shallow angles that plague mid-century designs - and specify materials for the actual conditions, not the 1954 code. We coordinate directly with Marple Township inspectors to ensure first-pass approval.

Trusted Brands We Service in Broomall
We are authorized installers for seven manufacturer lines, and we stock the brands that perform in Delaware County’s climate. For Broomall jobs, we most often specify CertainTeed Landmark PRO and IKO Cambridge architectural shingles - both rated for the freeze-thaw cycling and wind exposure these homes face. Owens Corning Duration with SureNail technology handles the complex valley patterns of split-level rooflines without tear-offs. We do not substitute materials without written approval. What we specify is what arrives on your driveway, and our supplier relationships mean we can source specialty colors or metal finishes without the month-long delays that plague smaller operators.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Broomall Homes
- Hidden deck rot beneath original shingles. Broomall’s postwar Cape Cods and split-levels typically have original board-sheathed decking under 60-75-year-old shingles, so a tear-off here routinely uncovers hidden moisture damage that requires full deck replacement - not just a surface swap - unlike neighboring townships with more mixed housing vintages.
- Ice-dam damage at low-pitch eaves. The shallow roof pitches common to 1950s tract construction don’t shed Pennsylvania snow effectively. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles force water under aging shingles, rotting fascia and soffits from the inside out.
- Flashing failures at shared rooflines. Tight clearances on Broomall’s narrow postwar lots cause flashings to fail at shared rooflines between attached garages and main bodies, leading to water intrusion that goes unnoticed until interior damage appears.
- Algae and moss on north-facing planes. The dense canopy of mature oaks and maples that shades these 1950s-60s lots accelerates algae and moss growth, particularly on north-facing roof planes where sunlight never reaches.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Broomall
Yes. Marple Township requires a building permit for full roof replacements, and township inspectors specifically check that ice-and-water shield is installed at all eaves and valleys per current PA code. We pull the permit as part of every Broomall job, schedule the inspection, and ensure the work passes before we consider the job complete. Call (855) 554-5116 and we’ll walk you through the permit timeline - estimates are free.
These homes were built with original board-sheathed decking - pine boards, not plywood - and that wood has endured 60-75 years of freeze-thaw cycling, intermittent leaks, and nail fatigue. When we tear off aging shingles, we find soft spots, delamination, or rot around vents and valleys on roughly half of Broomall jobs. We replace compromised decking with modern OSB or plywood as standard practice, not an upsell. The alternative is nailing new shingles to spongy wood - a recipe for early failure. Call us for an inspection and we’ll show you exactly what we found.
Architectural-grade asphalt shingles with a minimum 130-mph wind rating and full ice-and-water shield underlayment. We typically specify CertainTeed Landmark PRO or IKO Cambridge for Broomall’s conditions. On pitches below 4:12, we may recommend metal or a modified bitumen system, as standard asphalt warranties exclude very low slopes. Every Broomall home we assess gets a pitch measurement and a written recommendation based on the actual geometry, not a one-size-fits-all spec. Call (855) 554-5116 for a free evaluation of your specific roof.
We coordinate material delivery for off-peak hours, use compact equipment where standard trucks won’t fit, and station a crew member to manage traffic flow during shingle loading. Alley-load and tight street parking in Broomall’s dense neighborhoods delay material delivery and crew access, causing rushed installation that misses critical flashing details at dormer valleys - unless you plan for it. We’ve developed specific protocols for Broomall’s postwar street layouts, and we build that coordination time into our schedule. The job gets done right, not fast and sloppy. Call to discuss access for your specific property.
Yes - at all eaves, valleys, plumbing vents, and chimney penetrations, per Marple Township’s enforced code and our own standard. Crews inexperienced with Marple Township’s strict enforcement of ice-and-water shield installation at eaves and valleys often fail final inspection, forcing costly redo of flashed areas. We install it properly the first time, document the installation with photos, and pass inspection without callbacks. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship, but we aim to never need it. Call (855) 554-5116 for a free estimate - we’ll show you exactly where the shield goes on your roof.
