Roofing prices in Philadelphia
Philadelphia Roofing does not publish roofing prices. The roof area, whether it is flat or pitched, the height and length of the parapet, the drains and scuppers, the access on a narrow street and the permit all change the figure, and the roofer quotes after it has been on the roof.
Two rowhouse roofs of the same width can cost very different amounts. A roof with a single drain and a short parapet is a straightforward membrane job. A roof with a long party-wall parapet, three scuppers that all leak and a dumpster that has to go on a street with no parking is a longer one, and the roofer sets out each part before the work is booked.
| Factor | What it changes | Ask on the call |
|---|---|---|
| Flat or pitched | A flat roof is priced by membrane, drains and parapet; a pitched roof by slope, slate or shingle and valleys | Is the roof flat, pitched, or both? |
| Parapet, drains and scuppers | Length and height of parapet, number of scuppers and the drain seams each add work and sealing | How long is the parapet, and how many drains? |
| Access and permit | Narrow streets, staging and dumpster placement add time; a permit adds filing and an inspection before the new roof is covered | Where can the crew park, and does a permit apply? |

Five things that move your quote
Layers and old roofing
Old tar-and-gravel or built-up layers must come off before the new roof goes on, and the amount is seen on the roof.
Historic review
Work visible from the street on a property in a historic district may need Historical Commission review before a permit is issued.
Permit and inspection
Most roof replacements need a permit filed through L&I. The new membrane is not laid until the inspection passes on the old roofing.
