Coplay is a small borough where the Lehigh River bends and the old cement plants left their mark, and most of the housing stock is 1900s to 1950s twins and rowhouses with low-pitch roofs that have taken a beating. If you live on Chestnut Street or near the Coplay Parkway, you know the look: brick or stucco twins with shallow eaves and gutters that clog every fall.
Homeowners in 18037 call Allentown Metal Roofing because we understand these older twin roofs and the way snow slides off metal in one heavy sheet onto steps and cars. We are based in Allentown and serve Coplay and the surrounding Lehigh Valley, and we are a Metal Roofing Alliance member with fully insured crews.
Metal Roofing in Coplay (18037)
Coplay sits in the Lehigh Valley where the river flats meet the rise toward the Blue Mountain, and the housing reflects that working history: brick twins with shared walls, narrow side yards, and detached garages that are often only a few feet from the property line. That tight access changes how we stage a job. We plan material drops on the street or driveway and use compact lifts where a full-size truck cannot fit. The older roofs here often have multiple layers of shingles, and Pennsylvania code limits how many layers you can recover over, so we check that before recommending a retrofit. Ice dams are a real issue on the low-slope eaves of these twins, and heavy snow sliding off a metal panel can pile up against a shared porch or a neighbor's fence, so we talk through snow guards and ice protection early.
Our team has worked across Allentown, Whitehall, and the Slate Belt, and we bring that experience to Coplay. We know the difference between a 1920s twin with a slate mansard and a post-war ranch on the edge of the borough, and we price and specify accordingly.

How a Job Works in Coplay
Step 1: You call (610) 600-9879 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, walk the roof and attic, check the decking and flashing, and talk through your options, whether that is a repair, a retrofit over shingles, or a full replacement. We leave you with a written scope and a clear price.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the required roofing permit through the local building department and schedule the work. In Coplay, that often means coordinating with a neighbor about access for a dumpster or lift, especially on the narrow streets near the borough park. Our crews are insured and handle the tear-off, installation, and any gutter work in sequence so your property is not torn up longer than necessary.
Step 3: We clean the site daily, magnet-sweep for nails, and do a final walkthrough with you to confirm the flashing, seams, and gutters are right. We do not leave until you have seen the finished work and we have answered your questions.
Pricing in Coplay depends on the size and pitch of your roof, how many layers are already there, access, and whether we are repairing or replacing. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10, metal roof replacement at $9, and a metal roof over shingles (retrofit) at $7. Repairs start at $450, screw replacement and re-fastening at $750, and gutters for metal roofs at $9 per linear foot. Snow guards and ice protection start at $1,200. These are starting figures, not a quote. Call (610) 600-9879 for a free estimate that reflects your actual roof.
