ZIP 18071 has 63.9% of its homes built before 1980, and older flashing and vent seals are where small leaks start.

Call Roofers Hotline and describe what you saw.

Roof replacement

The first sign is usually shingles curling or a ceiling stain that keeps returning after a repair. In the area, 82% of homes were built before 1980 by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, so many roofs sit on decking that has aged along with the shingles. Roof replacement starts with an inspection of the decking, flashing and ventilation, then a written estimate, then the work. Call Roofers Hotline to book the inspection and see what a full replacement would involve on your house.

From the same number, Roofers Hotline also books roof replacement for this metro, photographed before the estimate is written.

Questions

Roofing questions in Palmerton

Does the age of Palmerton homes affect my roof?

Yes. Census estimates for 2019 to 2023 put the median local home at 1942, and 82% were built before 1980, compared with 59% across Carbon County. Older houses often have worn flashing and aging decking under the shingles. Call Roofers Hotline to book an inspection and get a written estimate before any work starts.

Is hail a real risk for roofs here?

It is a moderate one. Carbon County logged 5 hail events since 2015, against 27 in the Allentown area, and the largest hail in that record was 1.25 inches. August is the peak month for hail reports nearby. After a storm, call Roofers Hotline for an inspection to check for damage you cannot see from the ground.

Why do roofs here leak?

Flashing, pipe boots and valleys. About 52 inches of rain fall here each year at the nearest station. Water finds every cracked boot and open seam, so the repair starts by tracing the entry point.
