YOUR ROOF. YOUR NEXT STEP.
A clearer way to plan your next roofing step
Roofing an older borough building and working on a larger industrial site involve different practical challenges. In Schuylkill County, a helpful plan considers the condition overhead as well as the space available to reach it and carry out the work.
Think through access before the materials arrive
Tight streets, sloped approaches and limited staging space can affect deliveries and equipment placement. Identifying a workable route early helps avoid surprises when the job begins.
Consider what is happening around the roof, too
On older buildings, pay particular attention to adjoining walls, roof levels and drainage outlets. These details can explain recurring leaks and should be considered alongside the condition of the main roof surface.

With that picture in place, weigh repair against replacement
A leak does not automatically mean you need a new roof. If the problem is isolated and the surrounding system is in serviceable condition, a targeted repair may be appropriate. If deterioration is widespread or repairs keep returning, compare replacement with the cost and disruption of continued patching. Ask what each option addresses and what would remain unresolved.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Before you get started
Can we stay open while the roof is being worked on?
Often the work can be planned around an occupied building, but the details depend on access, the roof system and the work involved. Tell us which entrances, hours and operations need protection so we can discuss the sequence and any restrictions before the job starts.
What should we do if water is coming in now?
Keep people away from wet electrical equipment and damaged ceilings. If it is safe, protect the affected contents and note where and when the leak appears. Do not climb onto a wet roof. Call (717) 733-0364 to discuss the situation and next steps.
