Emmaus is a borough of older homes tucked below South Mountain, where brick twins and Victorians from the early 1900s still line streets like Chestnut and Main. Many of these roofs were built for slate, and when that slate starts to fail, ice dams at the eaves push meltwater right into the house.
Homeowners in Emmaus (18049) call Allentown Metal Roofing because we know these older roofs and the freeze-thaw cycle that comes with them. Whether you are near the Emmaus Triangle or up on the hill toward Vera Cruz, we can help with repair, replacement, or a new metal roof that handles the ice.
Metal Roofing in Emmaus (18049)
Emmaus has a lot of older housing stock, especially the brick twins and Victorians below South Mountain. These roofs often have steep pitches and little attic ventilation, which makes ice dams common at the eaves every winter. The meltwater backs up under the shingles or slate and finds its way inside. We see it all the time on homes near the Emmaus Public Library and along the side streets off Main. Our approach is to address the ice issue first, with proper underlayment and ventilation, then install a metal roof that sheds snow better than the old materials.
We have been serving Emmaus and the Allentown area for years, and we understand the local building stock. From the tight lots near the Triangle to the larger properties out toward Macungie, we know how to handle access and staging. Our team is fully insured, and we are a Metal Roofing Alliance Member, so you can trust the work is done right.

How a Job Works in Emmaus
Step 1: You call us at (610) 600-9879 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment at your Emmaus property, where we inspect the roof, check for ice dam damage, and discuss your options. We will give you a written estimate before any work begins.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the necessary permits from the local building department and schedule the work. On tight lots near the Emmaus Triangle, we plan for material delivery and dumpster placement so we do not block neighbors. If your home is in a historic district or HOA, we help you get the required approvals for panel profile and color.
Step 3: After installation, we clean up thoroughly, haul away all debris, and walk the property with you to make sure you are satisfied. We leave your yard and driveway as clean as we found them.
