American Quality Remodeling is a roofing contractor serving homeowners throughout Upper Darby Township, including Drexel Hill, Highland Park, Stonehurst, Bywood, Aronimink and Primos. Roofing here looks different from newer suburbs. Thousands of brick twins and rowhomes have a low-slope or flat rear roof, a short shingled or mansard front, and porch roofs that tie into the main wall. Many of those flat sections have been coated or patched for years instead of being replaced, and the trouble usually shows up at the party wall, around the rear drain or scupper, and where the porch roof meets the brick. Drexel Hill and Aronimink add steeper stone Colonials and Tudors with dormers, valleys and chimneys that each need careful flashing. We handle roof installation, roof replacement, leak repair and flat roof systems, and we treat every roof as a complete system, from the deck and drainage to the flashing at every wall.

On attached homes, a roof problem rarely stays on one side of the property line. Water that gets in at a poorly sealed party wall or a neighbor’s failed seam can travel across the deck before showing up on your ceiling. Our crews trace leaks to their actual source and, when needed, tie the new roof cleanly into the neighboring roof so the seam between homes stays watertight.
Roofing Material Options for Upper Darby Homes
Southeastern Pennsylvania puts roofs through freeze-thaw winters, occasional ice dams, humid summers, and heavy thunderstorms that test every seam and drain. Flat rear roofs on rowhomes take the hardest hit: standing water, summer heat on dark surfaces, and constant expansion and contraction at the edges. Steeper roofs on single-family homes face their own challenges at valleys, dormers, and chimneys. The right material depends on your roof’s slope, how it drains, how it’s attached to neighboring roofs, and your budget.

For Upper Darby rowhomes and twins, the most important decision is usually the flat rear roof. Rather than adding another coating over a worn surface, we often recommend tearing off old layers and installing a new membrane system with proper slope to the drain or scupper and new flashing at the parapet and party wall. A reflective membrane also helps keep top-floor bedrooms cooler in summer. For pitched and mansard fronts, architectural shingles offer the best mix of appearance and cost. On larger single-family homes in Drexel Hill, we’ll review roof pitch, attic ventilation, and existing materials before recommending shingles, metal, or a premium alternative.
Why Upper Darby Homeowners Choose American Quality Remodeling
Upper Darby homeowners choose American Quality Remodeling because we understand the roofs that are common in Delaware County, not just standard suburban shingle jobs. We install shingle roofs as complete manufacturer systems, with ice and water protection at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, and balanced ventilation. On flat roofs, we focus on drainage, seam quality, and the wall and edge flashing where most leaks begin.
We also plan for the realities of working on attached homes and narrow streets. That includes coordinating with neighbors when roofs share a seam, arranging dumpster placement and parking, and confirming township permit requirements before work begins. If we find rotted decking, failed parapet caps, or deteriorated fascia once the old roof is removed, we show you photos and pricing before making any additional repairs.
Our Roofing Process in Upper Darby
We keep each roofing project clear and well organized, so you always know what comes next. Here’s how it works:
- Consultation: We inspect the roof surface, flashing, drains, gutters, and the ceiling or attic below, looking for soft decking, ponding water, and signs of past leaks. You receive a written estimate that explains the recommended work and pricing.
- Selection: We help you choose the right roofing system for each part of the house, whether that’s architectural shingles for the front, a membrane for the rear flat roof, or metal for the porch.
- Preparation: Our crew protects your property and the neighboring roof, removes old roofing down to the deck, and replaces any damaged boards or plywood before installation.
- Installation: We install underlayment, membranes, flashing, edge metal, and shingles according to the manufacturer’s specifications, with careful detailing at party walls, chimneys, drains, and roof-to-wall connections.
- Final Inspection: Our project lead checks seams, fastening, flashing, drainage, and ventilation before we consider the roof complete.
- Cleanup: We remove all old materials and debris, sweep sidewalks, yards, and driveways for nails, and leave the street and your property clean.
- Post-Installation Support: We review your manufacturer and workmanship warranties and remain available if you have questions or notice anything after a heavy storm.
Premium Roofing Brands for Upper Darby Homes
