How Our Finished Roofing Work Looks
Roofing Contractor Aston, PA
One Honest Inspection, Whatever You Own
Roofing for Aston's Mix of Homes, From Ranchers to New Builds
Aston is a spread-out, wooded township with just about every kind of home in it: 1960s ranchers and split-levels, brick colonials, newer single-family construction, and whole communities of townhomes and condos. That variety is the job here, a slate-edged older roof on one street, a builder-grade townhome with an association on the next, a new build set back behind the trees off Concord Road. William Penn Roofing has roofed all of it since 2008, from Village Green to the streets around Neumann University.
Whatever the style, the question is the same: repair this roof or replace it? We do not answer that from the driveway. We get up top, see what is actually going on, and give you the honest version.
Testimonials & Reviews
What Aston Owners & Landlords Say About Us
Single-family owners, townhome boards, and the landlords renting near Neumann University have all weighed in on our work, here and across Delaware County. Their reviews are below.
Roofing for Ranchers, Townhomes & Newer Developments
No two Aston roofs are quite alike. A 1960s rancher wears a simple low-slope roof; a colonial has dormers and steeper pitches; a townhome shares its roofline with a row of neighbors; a newer build may still be on its first roof. Each fails in its own way, so we read the roof in front of us rather than assuming, looking at flashing, valleys, pipe boots, and the shaded sections where tree cover keeps things damp.
Aston’s heavy tree canopy drops limbs and packs valleys with debris, and the township’s older ranchers and splits are reaching the age where the first or second roof is worn out. We see the same aging mid-century roofs just over in Brookhaven, and we handle them the same way: find the real problem, fix the cause, and leave the property clean.
Residential Roofing Services for Every Aston Home
Where a leak shows up inside is seldom where it starts on the roof. We trace the water back to where it enters before doing anything else, and our residential roofing services then fix that source, so the stain does not return next season.
Roof Inspection & Leak Diagnosis
We climb the whole roof, checking shingles, flashing, valleys, dormers, pipe boots, and ventilation, then walk you through it with photos and a scope you can actually read.
Roof Repair
We replace worn and missing shingles, rebuild failed flashing and valleys, reseal penetrations, and swap the cracked pipe boots behind a lot of older-roof leaks.
Roof Replacement & New Roof Installation
When a roof has run its course, we install a complete system: new underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing, and shingles matched to the home or the townhome row.
Storm Damage Repair & Emergency Tarping
When wind or a falling limb opens the roof, our storm damage repair crew gets it tarped and dried in within hours, then comes back to make the repair permanent, photographing the damage for your claim. We respond fast across Aston and neighboring Chester when storms come through.
Signs Your Aston Roof Is Due for a Look
On any style of roof, these point to a problem worth catching early:
- Shingles curling, cracking, or torn off after wind
- Granules washing into the gutters
- Limbs or heavy debris left sitting on the roof after a storm
- Moss or algae on shaded, tree-covered slopes
- Water stains on ceilings or near a chimney, skylight, or dormer
- Daylight or damp insulation in the attic, or a roof past 20 years
What Your Aston Roof Might Cost
Cost follows the roof: a simple rancher prices very differently than a multi-slope colonial or a shared townhome roof, and decking condition, pitch, access, and your choice of shingle all factor in.
Commercial & Flat Roofing for Aston Businesses
The shopping centers and offices along Pennell Road and Concord Road, plus the buildings around Neumann University, largely run on flat and low-slope roofs. Our commercial roofing team services them all, across TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and coatings, for the owners and managers responsible for keeping them dry.
Commercial Roof Repair
Ponding, split seams, and tired membrane are the common flat-roof problems, and we target those to stretch the roof you have.
Commercial Roof Replacement
Once repairs cost more than they return, we put on a new system built for the building's drainage and day-to-day use.
Commercial Roof Coating
A reflective coating can give a solid flat roof extra years and lower cooling bills. We will be straight about whether yours qualifies.

Asphalt Shingles
The go-to across Aston’s ranchers, colonials, and townhomes, affordable and widely matched.
Metal Roofing
A long-life, weather-shedding choice for owners planning to stay for the long run.
Cedar Roofing
Real cedar shake for an older home that wants its natural character back.
Copper Roofing

Gutter Replacement
Gutters and downspouts sized to clear tree debris and heavy rain from the foundation.
Siding Replacement
Vinyl or fiber-cement siding where water keeps finding a way in behind worn cladding.
Skylight Installation
Skylight installation flashed and sealed for light without water.
Stucco Remediation
Stucco remediation for cracking and trapped moisture on older walls.
Window & Door Installation
Window and door installation to swap out leaking, drafty units.
Roofing & Exterior Brands We Install
Whatever goes on an Aston roof comes from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Velux, and James Hardie, installed to each maker’s spec so the full warranty stays intact.
Why Aston Owners Call William Penn Roofing
The reason owners call back is the honest assessment, on any kind of roof. Whether it is a 60-year-old rancher or a townhome under an HOA, owner David gets up and looks for himself, then tells you whether a repair will hold or replacement is the smarter spend.
You get the owner on the roof. David does the inspection himself, so the estimate comes straight from the person who was up on your roof, not a salesperson.
We handle every style here. Ranchers, splits, colonials, townhomes, and new construction are all routine, including the shared-roof and association details.
We leave it spotless. We protect the property during the work and clean up fully, down to a magnetic sweep for nails.
Aston Roofing Questions We Hear Most
Do you work with townhome and condo associations in Aston?
Yes. Many Aston homes sit in townhome and condo communities, and we coordinate with owners and associations on shared roofs, matching materials and scheduling around the whole row where needed.
My home is a newer build, why would the roof need work already?
Even newer roofs can have flashing or installation issues, or take storm damage. An inspection tells you whether it is a small fix, possibly still under warranty, or something more.
How long does a roof last on a 1960s Aston rancher?
A typical asphalt roof lasts 20 to 30 years. Many of Aston’s older ranchers and splits are on a second roof now, so it is worth a look on age alone.
Will tree cover damage my roof?
It can. Limbs fall in storms, debris collects in valleys, and shade grows moss on the north side. We clear it, repair any damage, and can point out branches worth trimming.
Are you licensed and insured to roof in Aston Township?
Yes. William Penn Roofing is fully licensed and insured in Pennsylvania, PA HIC #064688, and files the required Aston Township permits for residential and commercial jobs.
Get an Honest Look Before the Roof Gives Way
Roofs rarely fail without warning, a lifted shingle, a damp patch in the attic, a limb left after a storm. Get us up there for a proper look, and we will tell you plainly what to fix now and what can safely wait, whatever style of home you own.
