Roof Replacement & Installation Across Greater Philadelphia
When your roof reaches the end of its life—or the damage is beyond a simple repair—we make replacement straightforward. We manage the job from tear-off to final cleanup, including decking repairs as needed, ice & water shield and synthetic underlayment, updated flashing and ventilation, and a finished system installed to manufacturer specifications. Many single-family homes can be completed in 1–2 days (weather and complexity permitting), and we keep you updated with photos along the way.
We proudly serve Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Delaware, and Philadelphia Counties, plus nearby New Jersey communities including Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer. Below are a few of the roof replacement and installation details we focus on:

How to Choose the Right Roofing Material
What factors should I consider when choosing a roofing material?
Consider your budget, how long you want the roof to last, your roof pitch/shape, home style or HOA rules, and local weather (freeze/thaw, wind, hail). Maintenance and warranty options matter too. Just as important: installation quality, flashing, and ventilation.
What are the most popular materials for homes in Greater Philadelphia & nearby NJ?
For most homes, architectural asphalt shingles are the go-to for value, durability, and color options. Designer shingles offer a thicker look and often higher wind ratings. For flat or low-slope sections (porches, additions, some rowhomes), EPDM or TPO membranes are often the best fit.
Which roofing material lasts the longest?
In general, slate and many metal systems last the longest when installed and maintained well (often 40–60+ years). Premium asphalt is typically 25–35+ years, and standard architectural asphalt is often 20–30 years. Ventilation and workmanship make a big difference.
How do I choose a color that looks good?
Match fixed elements like brick, stone, or siding instead of paint colors that may change. Darker roofs can feel more grounding; lighter tones can keep a home looking brighter. If your roof stays shaded, consider algae-resistant shingles.
How will Local Roofing & Exteriors help me decide?
We’ll inspect your roof, confirm pitch and ventilation needs, and present a few clear options with samples, photos, pricing, and warranty details—so you can choose confidently, with no pressure.

Most single-family homes are completed in 1–2 days, weather and complexity permitting. Larger or steep projects can take longer; we’ll give you a clear schedule before work begins.
Yes. Where required, we obtain the permit and coordinate inspections with your township/borough. You’ll receive copies for your records.
We only remove what we can dry-in the same day and use tarps/underlayment to protect exposed areas. If weather changes, we secure the site and resume once conditions are safe.
In some cases, codes allow an overlay, but we generally recommend a complete tear-off. Removing old layers lets us repair decking, update flashing/ventilation, and ensure the new system performs as designed.
Move vehicles from the driveway, secure pets, remove fragile items from walls/attic, and clear patio/yard items near the house. We’ll protect landscaping and keep paths safe.
