Homeowners in Center City, Kensington, South Philly, and Strawberry Mansion often ask: “How do I know if I need a full roof replacement or just a repair?” At Philly Roofing & Exterior Services, our licensed roofers specialize in evaluating whether a flat roof repair, patch for a roof leak, or full replacement is the right choice.

Signs you may only need a repair include isolated leaks, minor flashing issues, or small areas of damage. However, if your roof is over 20 years old, shows widespread cracking, or has chronic pooling water, replacement is usually more cost-effective long term.

Our team also offers emergency roofing services, particularly in neighborhoods with older rowhomes and commercial buildings where leaks can cause fast damage to interiors. Beyond roofing, we handle exterior services like siding, gutters, and waterproofing.

👉 Protect your property with a professional inspection from Philly Roofing & Exterior Services today.
