Slatington sits right on the Lehigh River where the Slate Belt meets the valley, and the roof over your head here probably tells a story that goes back a hundred years. Those slate roofs quarried just up the road are beautiful, but many are hitting the end of their service life, and the homes along Main Street, Cherry Street, and the older blocks near the Slatington Trailhead are ready for a durable metal replacement that looks right and lasts.
Homeowners in 18080 call Allentown Metal Roofing because we understand the local housing stock, from the brick Victorians and twins to the ranches and farmhouses out toward Washington Township. We are a Metal Roofing Alliance member, fully insured, and we know the freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, and nor'easter winds that work on roofs in this part of Lehigh County.
Metal Roofing in Slatington (18080)
Slatington's terrain is defined by the river and the ridge. Many properties sit on narrow lots with steep grade changes, tight side yards, and mature trees that drop limbs and shade the roof, which means we plan access carefully and often use ladder assists and staging that fit the space. Older homes here often have multiple roof planes, dormers, and original slate that needs to come off before we install standing seam or slate-look metal shingles. The slate-look metal is a natural fit for the historic character of the Slate Belt, and it holds up to the ice damming that happens when snow sits on a cold eave and refreezes.
We have been serving Slatington and the surrounding Allentown area for years, and we know how the wind funnels through the valley and how summer thunderstorms test fasteners and seams. Our crews are trained on metal roof replacement, retrofits over existing shingles where code allows, and repairs that address the actual failure, not just the symptom.

How a Job Works in Slatington
Step 1: Call us at (610) 600-9879 or request a free estimate. We schedule an on-site assessment, inspect the roof, attic, flashing, and gutters, and talk through your options, whether that is a repair, a retrofit, or a full replacement. We also explain what permits are typically needed and point you to the City of Slatington website for local rules.
Step 2: Once you approve the scope, we pull the required permits and coordinate with any HOA or historic review if your property falls under one. Our crews handle the tear-off or retrofit, install new underlayment and flashing, and set the metal panels or shingles. On tight Slatington lots, we stage materials in the driveway or on the street per local rules and keep the work area safe.
Step 3: We clean the site daily, magnet-sweep for nails, and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure you are satisfied. We leave your property clean and your roof watertight.
