Old Brick, Steep Slopes: Roofing in Allentown, PA
An Allentown roof is rarely one simple plane. Pre-war brick and stucco twins carry dormers, turrets, deep valleys and a party-wall seam shared with the house next door, with a flat rear addition tucked behind all of it. All Pro Roof Stone Atlas works from 429 S West St, inside that housing rather than an hour outside it, and answers at (484) 806-0911 at any hour.
South West Street sits between Center City and the West End, which puts the crew inside the two neighborhoods that generate most of this city's roof work. From there the territory covers Lehigh County and the wider valley: the South Side below the Little Lehigh, the blocks off Tilghman Street, Bethlehem across the river, Whitehall to the north, and Emmaus, Macungie and Center Valley to the south. Housing changes fast across that ground. An attached South Side rowhome and a 1990s colonial in Upper Saucon Township have almost nothing in common above the ceiling, and pricing them from the same template is how people end up buying the wrong scope of work.
Residential and commercial both: leak tracing and repair, complete tear-offs, new roofs on additions, dormers and alley garages, standing seam and exposed-fastener metal, TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen across low-slope sections, gutters and guards, inspections, and around-the-clock emergency response. On a city block half the job is logistics. Dumpster placement, permitted curb space, plywood over whatever can be damaged, and neighbors told in advance where not to park. The roofing sequence itself is fixed and written into the proposal, and the estimate is itemized so tear-off, decking, ice barrier, flashing, ventilation and cleanup are each visible rather than buried inside one figure you cannot question.
Three things we routinely argue against, none of which help our invoice. Buying the heaviest shingle on the shelf will not rescue a roof whose valleys and sidewall flashing are the actual problem, and on these houses they usually are. Adding ridge exhaust above soffits that have been painted shut for forty years leaves the attic worse off, because the vent then draws its air from inside your house. Metal is a genuinely good answer on a steep awkward porch roof and a poor one on a cut-up roof that would spend its budget on flashing. Where wind or hail has done real damage we assist with the insurance process and provide documentation to support your claim.
Roofs in Allentown
Allentown's geography works on roofs from two directions. The Jordan Creek and the Lehigh cut the city into slopes and terraces, so an exposed gable on one street takes driving rain that a sheltered block three hundred yards away never feels. South Mountain, rising right off the South Side, widens the daily temperature swing and pushes fasteners and flashing through more movement in a year than a flat site would. Then there is the shared seam: along the attached blocks of Center City and around Union Terrace, one roof ends where the next begins, and the flashing over that joint has usually been ignored longer than anything else on the row. Further south, around Emmaus and Macungie, lots widen and straightforward exposure becomes the main variable again.

Roofing in Allentown — common questions
Who is All Pro Roof Stone Atlas, and where is the Allentown office?
It is the name this All Pro office trades under, based at 429 S West St in Allentown. The number is (484) 806-0911 and the listing runs twenty-four hours. Sixteen reviews on the Google listing average out at 5.0. If somebody referred you to All Pro generally and you reached a different name on the sign, that is the explanation.
Water is coming through and it is the middle of the night. What happens?
You call (484) 806-0911 and a person answers. Overnight work is stabilization: a tarp carried across the ridge where the shape of the roof allows, screwed down into solid wood rather than weighted, plus protection inside where a ceiling has already taken water. Nobody diagnoses a leak properly in the dark on a wet city roof, so the permanent repair gets scoped in daylight and quoted before it happens.
Does this office cover the rest of the Lehigh Valley?
Yes. Allentown is the base and the territory runs across Lehigh County and the valley around it, taking in Bethlehem across the river, Whitehall to the north, and Emmaus, Macungie and Center Valley to the south. The housing shifts as you go, from attached pre-war brick in the city to open-lot colonials out in the townships, and the scope of a job shifts with it.
Do you take on commercial and low-slope buildings?
Yes. Commercial roofing and flat or low-slope sections are ordinary work here: TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen, with seams and wall terminations treated as the details that decide how long the roof lasts. That covers small mixed-use buildings along the commercial strips as much as it covers a rear addition on a house. Metal is available too, in standing seam or exposed fastener.
Is anything different about roofing a house in Allentown's older historic blocks?
Practically, yes. Short steep planes leave little room to stage, masonry chimneys need counterflashing cut into the mortar joint instead of sealant smeared over it, and neighbors sit close enough that debris control has to be planned before the first shingle moves. Whatever design review a district applies is the city's to set, and we simply build to the conditions your address carries.
Do I need a permit, and are you licensed to work in the city?
Yes to the second half. All Pro is licensed, bonded and insured, carrying PA #PA052821, NJ #13VH12184700, MD #163710 and DE #2021712948, and certificates go out on request to a lender, an association or a general contractor. On permits, every municipality across Lehigh County runs its own process, and we file and schedule around whatever your address requires instead of leaving it with you.
