Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Call or text (267) 993-3571 and Joe will set up a free roof assessment. Texting a few photos of the roof or the leak helps.
What is a white granulated roof?
It's a torch-down modified bitumen roof whose top sheet is covered in white mineral granules. The granules protect the membrane from UV and reflect sunlight, which is why so many Philly rowhome roofs are going white. It's the system the crew installs most.
Should I repair my flat roof or replace it?
If the leak is one spot on an otherwise sound roof, a repair can make sense. If water ponds, the roof has been patched again and again, or the deck is soft, a full tear-off and new system is usually the honest answer. Joe will show you photos of what he finds so you can decide.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Every new roof installation comes with a workmanship warranty. Recent jobs have carried 12-year warranties on flat roof systems and 15-year warranties on full replacements. Ask Joe for the terms on your job.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, Made in America Roofing is licensed and insured. Ask for the registration number and insurance certificate with your estimate.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes: veterans, active duty service members, police officers, firefighters and senior citizens. Mention it when you call.
Do you fix leaks after snow and ice?
Yes. Snow load and ice block flat roof drains, and freeze-thaw opens up weak seams. The crew works through the winter.
Do you replace skylights?
Yes, as part of a re-roof or on their own, with the new skylight properly flashed into the roof.
Do you do shingle roofs too?
Yes. Full tear-offs with ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, ridge vent and new edge metal. Recent jobs used GAF Shakewood, Atlas Pinnacle and Tamko Virginia Slate shingles.
How often does a flat roof need maintenance?
Joe's advice: get a routine check and maintenance about every 3 years to get the full life out of a torch-down roof. Built-up low spots and a fresh silver coat go a long way.
What areas do you serve?
Philadelphia, Bucks County, Montgomery County, Delaware County and South Jersey. The shop is on Morrell Avenue in Northeast Philly.
Do you clean up after the job?
Yes. Reviewers mention the crew leaving everything neat, and you get photos and video of the finished roof.
