Roof Replacement
A new covering installed to the maker’s own specification, with their paper behind it.
Built to the paper, not the promise
Wenonah Roofing Installed to the Written Spec
The strongest thing a roof can carry is a document issued by somebody other than the contractor. On the borough’s older houses off Mantua Avenue that counts for more than anything said in the driveway.

The work
What we are called out for
Seven things, which is all a residential roofer in this borough honestly needs to be good at.
-
-
-
Roof Leak Repair
Finding where the water enters, which is rarely above where it appears.
-
Storm & Hail Damage
Standing on the roof beside the adjuster, with the same photographs in hand.
-
-
-
Gutters & Downspouts
The handover point, where the covering stops and the drainage takes over.
The idea
Why we keep talking about paperwork
Most roofing promises are personal. A man stands in your driveway, says he will look after you, and means it. Five years later the company has a different name, a different phone number or no number at all, and the promise has quietly expired with it.
A manufacturer does not go anywhere. Build a roof out of one maker’s components, in the order and the pattern they publish, and the cover that results belongs to a company with a factory rather than a truck. That is the whole argument, and it decides almost every choice we make on a job.
Why this one
What you get that you might not elsewhere
Four things, each of which costs us something, which is how you can tell they are real.
Cover that outlives us
A roof installed the way GAF specify can qualify for their Golden Pledge Warranty, the strongest cover they issue. It is held by the manufacturer, not by us.
Fifty years on the shingles
The covering itself carries a fifty-year warranty backed directly by the people who made it. That is a different document from anything a contractor signs, and it does not depend on us answering the phone.
System components throughout
Starter, leak barrier, underlayment, hip and ridge all from the same range, because substituting one cheap part is the usual reason a cover turns out not to apply.
Ventilation treated as roofing
Intake and exhaust balanced and recorded, since the specification counts airflow as part of the roof rather than an extra somebody sells you afterwards.
How it runs
What actually happens, in order
- 1
You ring and describe it
Whatever is visible from the pavement will do. Nobody expects you to work out the cause first.
- 2
The free inspection
An hour on the roof and in the loft, both sides checked against each other, no charge and nothing booked off the back of it.
- 3
A written figure
Line by line, with the specification named, so you can see exactly which components are in the price.
- 4
The work, in order
Strip, deck made good, membrane, metalwork, covering, ventilation. Opened and closed the same day throughout.
- 5
The documents
Registration goes in, and the paperwork that results comes to you rather than sitting in a filing cabinet here.

Start with the hour on the roof
The inspection is free, it comes with a written figure, and nothing is booked at the end of it unless you want it to be.

The things people ask before they book
What does a manufacturer-backed warranty actually cover?
Broadly, the covering and the way it was put on, for a term set by the maker rather than the installer. The exact terms come from the manufacturer and we will give you the document rather than paraphrase it, because paraphrasing a warranty is how people end up disappointed.
Who honours it if you stop trading?
That is precisely the point of it. Cover issued by a manufacturer sits with the manufacturer. A contractor’s own promise, however sincerely given, stops when the contractor does.
Does it move with the house if I sell?
Most manufacturer cover is transferable at least once, usually within a window after the sale and sometimes for a small fee. We will tell you the terms for your specific covering before you commit to anything.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes, and nothing is booked at the end of it. People take the notes and do nothing for two years fairly often. That is a perfectly reasonable thing to do with them.
Can a repair carry the same cover?
No, and anyone saying otherwise is selling you something. Manufacturer cover attaches to a complete system installed to specification. A repair buys you years at a fraction of the price, which is usually the better deal, but it comes without the paper.
What if the deck underneath is bad?
We count the sheets with you before any are cut and the rate is on the estimate from the start. Nobody discovers a number halfway through a Tuesday.
What paperwork do I end up holding?
The written estimate, the specification the roof was built to, photographs of the deck before it was covered, and the warranty documents once registration comes back. It lives in a folder in your house, not ours.
Do I need to be home for the work?
For the inspection it helps, because the loft is half of it. For the installation itself, no. Most people go to work and come home to a finished roof.
About
Four people who would rather do fewer roofs
We are not the cheapest quote on most driveways and we have stopped trying to be. The specification costs more in components and more in time, and it is the only version of the job we are interested in doing.
