Roofing in Media, PA
The county seat, four miles west. Older, denser and more varied than the townships around it.
The houses in Media
Media Borough is Victorian and early-twentieth-century — steep pitches, dormers, turrets, porches and a lot of original slate. Spread out into Nether Providence and Wallingford and it becomes larger stone and stucco houses on wooded lots. Both are more complicated roofs than the township ranchers.
What that means for the roofs
- Steeply pitched Victorian roofs with dormers and valleys — more flashing per square foot than anything else in the county.
- Original slate, often patched with asphalt, where the honest options need explaining properly.
- Wrap-around porch roofs, almost always low-slope, almost always the leak.
- Heavy tree cover through Wallingford, which is hard on gutters and keeps roofs damp and mossy on the north side.
What we do here
Roof replacement and repair, flat and low-slope work, gutters and siding — the same services as everywhere else, but the mix in Media skews toward the specifics above. Estimates are free and James does them himself.
Available in Media
Roof Replacement
A full tear-off down to the decking, so anything rotten gets found and replaced instead of covered up.
More on thisRoof Repair
Most leaks are a flashing problem, not a whole-roof problem. The job is to find out which one you have.
More on thisFlat & Low-Slope Roofing
Rear additions, porch roofs and rowhome roofs. A different trade from shingle work, and the one most Delco houses eventually need.
More on thisWhat customers say
They were the only folks to actually touch the shingles and look closely at the project while I was getting quotes. Everyone else just looked from the street.
We just completed our 4th project with JPC. It's not always easy to find a solid contractor, but James is the best of the best. He answers the phone, shows up as promised, gives fair quotes (in writing) and makes sure you're satisfied with the results.
J. Parker replaced my roof on short notice during the holidays. The job turned out to be more than anticipated, since there were 4 layers of shingles that needed to be removed. J. Parker finished the job in one day, staying late because rain was forecast the next day.
