Allentown's housing stock tells its own story: 1870s brick rowhouses in Old Allentown, slate mansards in the Old Fairgrounds, and West End Victorians with steep pitches that shed snow fast but punish aging flashing. We replace failing slate and worn asphalt with metal that matches the neighborhood's character and handles Lehigh Valley freeze-thaw without the constant patching.
Homeowners from 18101 to the West End call us because we know how nor'easters and ice dams treat these roofs, and we show up with a free inspection, a clear scope, and crews that are fully insured (general liability and workers' compensation).
Metal Roofing in Allentown (18101)
Allentown sits where the Lehigh River cuts between South Mountain and Blue Mountain, and that terrain drives the work. Old Allentown rowhouses have tight lots and shared walls, so staging and tear-off need planning before the dumpster shows up. West End Victorians and suburban colonials sit on tree-lined streets where oaks and maples drop limbs and fill gutters, and those same trees shade roofs enough that freeze-thaw cycles linger at the eaves. Out toward Whitehall, Salisbury, and Lower Macungie, post-war ranches and two-story colonials often have shallow roof pitches and layered shingles that limit what a retrofit can do. We check existing layers before we quote a metal roof over shingles, because code caps how many layers you can recover. Historic district and HOA design review can also restrict panel profile and color, so we talk through that early. Our crews handle standing seam and copper and specialty metal, and we match slate-look panels to the old slate roofs across the Slate Belt when a homeowner wants the look without the maintenance.
We have been working Allentown and the surrounding Lehigh Valley long enough to know which blocks flood at the gutter, which streets get wind peel after a storm, and where ice damming is a yearly fight.

How a Job Works in Allentown
Step 1: you call (610) 600-9879 or request a free estimate. We schedule an on-site assessment, check the roof deck, flashing, and fasteners, and talk through what you actually need, whether that is a repair, a coating, or a full replacement. You get a written scope and a price before anything starts.
Step 2: we pull the permit through the local building department and coordinate any historic or HOA review. On tight rowhouse blocks in Old Allentown we plan material delivery and dumpster placement so we are not blocking neighbors. Tear-off, deck repair, and installation follow the scope, and we keep you posted on weather delays because nor'easters and summer thunderstorms can shift the schedule.
Step 3: cleanup and final walkthrough. We magnet-sweep for nails, haul away debris, and walk the roof and gutters with you. We leave your property clean and show you what to watch for between inspections.
