Complete Roof Installation for Media Additions and New Builds
Delaware County does not have much open land left, so most new roof installation around Media happens on additions, dormer conversions and infill lots squeezed between existing homes. That means new framing meeting old, a fresh roof plane landing against a stone or brick wall, and often a low-slope section over a kitchen or family room extension. The finish looks simple from the street. The parts that decide whether it lasts get covered up on day one.
This is roof installation as our Media, PA office does it — the same crew, the same number, the same written estimate before anything starts.
Installation covers the whole assembly: sheathing, drip edge, ice-and-water at the eaves and valleys, underlayment, starter, field and ridge, laid in the sequence manufacturer specification requires, with intake and exhaust ventilation planned as a pair before a single fastener goes in. On an addition the tie-in gets opened up rather than shingled into, flashed to the existing wall or roof, and matched in exposure so the two planes read as one surface. On an attached home we also settle how the new work meets the party wall and the shared gutter run before framing, not after the roofers arrive.
The failures we get called to on other people's new work are always terminations. A missing kickout where a roof plane dies into a wall will saturate sheathing and wall framing behind it, and on a masonry Delaware County home that water travels inside the wall for years before anything shows. Flashing into stone or brick means cutting a proper reglet and counterflashing it, not caulking a surface joint. Low-slope extensions need membrane rather than shingles, because below roughly three in twelve, overlap and gravity stop working and wind-driven rain simply travels back up under the courses.
Builders, remodelers and homeowners get the same process: free consultation, itemized estimate, written proposal, a start date we keep, and a final walkthrough with a magnet sweep and warranty paperwork. Material choices run from architectural and designer asphalt shingles to standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal, plus TPO, EPDM or modified bitumen wherever the pitch demands membrane. Two things we decline. We do not install over decking we have not been permitted to inspect, and we do not accept a scope that trims flashing details to reach a number, because flashing is cheap now and expensive to rebuild later.
Why Media roofs are different
Building in Media usually means building tight. Lots near the borough center and along the trolley route leave little room to stage, and neighboring walls sit close enough that a new roof plane often ends against someone else's masonry. Further out toward Ridley Creek State Park the lots open up and the tree canopy closes in, which changes the calculation entirely: heavy shade, damp valleys, constant leaf load, and moss on north-facing planes. We spec ventilation and valley details for the actual site rather than a generic Delaware County house.

Roof Installation in Media — common questions
Do you handle roofing for additions on attached homes?
Yes, and they need more planning than a detached house does. A new plane on a twin or row unit has to tie into the existing roof, respect the party wall, and connect to a gutter run that serves your neighbor as well as you. We work out the flashing, the drainage and the access before framing goes up. Where the work touches a shared detail, we put that in writing so both households know what is happening.
How do you flash a new roof into an old stone or brick wall?
With a cut reglet and counterflashing, not surface sealant. A groove is cut into the mortar joint, metal is set into it and sealed, and step flashing runs up beneath it with the shingle courses. That way water reaching the wall is directed back onto the roof instead of soaking into masonry. Caulk applied to the face of old stone fails within a couple of winters, and by then the water has already been inside the wall.
What goes on a flat kitchen or family room extension?
Membrane, not shingles. TPO, EPDM or modified bitumen all work on a low-slope roof, and the choice depends on the existing construction, the drainage, and how the section meets the main house. The critical detail is the headwall where the flat roof meets the taller wall, plus the perimeter edge, because those are the two places low-slope roofs actually leak. Plenty of Media homes carry both shingles and membrane on one house.
Can you coordinate with my builder's schedule?
Yes. We work from the framing plan and pitch, schedule against the dry-in date, and coordinate with the trades that follow so the roof does not become the item holding up interior work. Certificates of insurance go to the general contractor or lender on request before anyone starts. The written proposal spells out flashing and ventilation specifically, because those are the lines that scopes tend to disagree about later.
Are you licensed to work in Pennsylvania?
