Roof Replacement for Wharton homes and buildings
Replacing a roof on one of Wharton's older homes usually means removing multiple layers, repairing plank decking and correcting chimney, porch and wall flashing that has been patched for decades. Small lots require careful planning for debris and materials.
Asset Roofing & Chimney replaces these roofs with architectural asphalt shingles over synthetic underlayment, with ice-and-water membrane at eaves and valleys. We also replace flat roofs on commercial and light-industrial buildings with modern membrane systems.
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.
When replacement is the right call in Wharton
Replace when the shingles are worn across the roof, when there are two or more layers, when leaks keep returning in different places or when the decking is soft. On a typical older Wharton house the job takes one to two days and includes tear-off, decking repairs, ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new chimney and wall flashing, architectural shingles and ridge ventilation.
For commercial and light-industrial buildings, we evaluate the membrane, insulation and drainage before recommending a system, and schedule the work so the building can keep operating.
