Request a Roof Estimate in Philadelphia, PA
Use this form to request a roof estimate in Philadelphia, PA or one of the five nearby townships. Your request goes to one independent local roofer, who arranges a visit, measures the roof and prices the job in writing. This site's only role is passing the request along.
What You'll Receive
Everything you receive comes from the roofer, not from this site. Expect someone to look at the roof, take measurements and then send a written estimate. Many roofers give estimates at no charge; ask the roofer before the visit. Getting an estimate never commits you to hiring that company, and you're free to compare it with others.
A solid estimate spells out:
- Tear-off and decking. How many layers come off, and what happens if the wood underneath needs repair.
- The membrane or shingle. On a flat rowhouse roof, which membrane (modified bitumen, EPDM or TPO) and whether a coating is part of the price.
- The permit. Who files it with L&I or with the township office.
- Warranties. Manufacturer and labor coverage, each described in writing.
How this site is paid: the roofing company that gets your request pays Roof Replacement Philadelphia PA for the referral. There's no charge to you, and nothing is offered to you for sending it. The site isn't a contractor and won't be a party to any contract you sign.
Next, a Phone Call
Once the form is sent, the roofer usually phones you to pick a time to see the roof. If email suits you better, say so in the form. Before the visit, look the company up on the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Home Improvement Contractor search, and if the house is in the city, ask for its Philadelphia contractor license.
When the written estimate arrives, there's no need to rush. If you do sign, Pennsylvania gives you three business days to change your mind and cancel.
A Few Details About Your Home
A handful of facts help the roofer come prepared: whether the roof is flat or pitched, what covers it now, roughly how old it is, and whether the house is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. If you live outside the city, name your township, since each one runs its own permit office.
