Roof Repair for Wharton homes and buildings
Roof repairs on Wharton's older homes often involve roofs that have been redone several times over plank decking, with flashing at chimneys, porches and rear additions that has been patched rather than replaced. Two-family homes with rear porches and additions have many joints that can leak.
On light-industrial and commercial buildings, repairs typically involve membrane seams, drains and rooftop equipment. Asset Roofing & Chimney repairs both shingle and flat roofs.
Wharton housing
Wharton's older streets have late-1800s and early-1900s worker housing: two-story frame houses, gable-front homes and two-family houses on small lots. Mid-century capes and ranches fill in around them, and newer townhouses and apartments add multi-unit roofs. Light-industrial and commercial buildings have low-slope roofs.
Weather & exposure
Wharton sits in a valley at the edge of the Highlands, with cold, snowy winters and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Older homes are close together, shading roofs and limiting access. Summer storms bring heavy rain.
Repair or replace? What we tell Wharton homeowners
On an older house, we trace the leak to its source and repair it with proper flashing and matching shingles. If the roof is near the end of its life, we will tell you.
For commercial and industrial roofs, we inspect drains, seams and equipment flashing and provide a written report.
