Roofing in Lafayette Hill: Brick, Stone and Split-Levels
Lafayette Hill is named for the Marquis de Lafayette, whose troops escaped a British trap at the Battle of Barren Hill here on May 20, 1778. It’s part of Whitemarsh Township, and Germantown Pike still runs through the middle of it.
The homes we see in Lafayette Hill
Lafayette Hill mixes 1920s–1950s stone and brick colonials with post-war split-levels and ranches on the side streets. Split-levels have roofs at two or three heights, and the spots where a lower roof meets the wall of the upper level are the most common leak points we see.
- Roof-to-wall step flashing and counter-flashing on split-levels
- Brick and stone chimneys re-flashed in copper or aluminum
- Full tear-off and deck repair on homes with older layered roofs
- Gutters sized and pitched for the tree cover
