Lower Merion, Montgomery County · Housing Profile
Pre-War Housing Stock — Lower Merion's Roofs Are Overdue
The Lower Merion Housing Stock
Lower Merion's homes were built primarily before World War II — a period when original slate, clay tile, and early asphalt roofing systems were the standard. At 88+ years of age, these systems are well beyond their engineered service life. Visible failures like spalling, sagging valley lines, and granule-stripped shingles are common, but the hidden risks are often worse: deteriorated underlayment and compromised deck sheathing that turn minor leaks into costly interior damage events. Right Deal Roofing & Chimney specializes in full tear-off assessments and replacements of pre-war Lower Merion homes, with close attention to the original rafter and sheathing construction common to this era.

Right Deal Roofing & Chimney maintains the crew capacity to service high-volume municipalities — while retaining the owner-managed accountability that larger regional contractors structurally cannot offer.

Common Questions
Roofing FAQ — Lower Merion, PA
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Lower Merion, PA?
Yes — all full roof replacements in Lower Merion require a building permit filed with the Lower Merion Township Building Department. Right Deal Roofing & Chimney manages the complete permit application, all required inspections, and the final code sign-off as a standard included service on every project. You never need to interact with the permit office directly.
How old are most roofs in Lower Merion?
The median Lower Merion home was built around 1938, meaning most original roofing systems are approximately 88 years old. This places the majority of Lower Merion homes at or past the standard 20–25 year replacement threshold for architectural asphalt shingles. Key warning signs: granule loss accumulating in gutters, visible sagging between rafters, and water staining on attic sheathing.
What roofing materials are best for Lower Merion homes?
For most Lower Merion homes, GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles with a 130 mph wind rating are the highest-value option — matching the character of the pre-war-era housing stock while providing modern Class 4 impact resistance. For Lower Merion properties with complex rooflines or premium finishes, standing seam metal offers a 40–60 year service life and the best resistance to Pennsylvania's freeze-thaw cycles. Right Deal Roofing & Chimney provides written material recommendations in every free estimate.

What Homeowners Say
Trusted by Montgomery County Homeowners
Competitive pricing. Excellent service. Flavio was our rep and was very professional in his presentation to explain the process and materials. Installation crew was efficient and did a GREAT job. I highly recommend Right Deal Roofing & Chimney & Roofing.
Choosing a roofer that is reputable, fairly priced, and manufacturer certified were my top priorities, and Right Deal Roofing & Chimney & Roofing is an amazing business. I called on Labor Day because we just found a hole in the roof — they came out immediately.
Roofing
I got three quotes for our roof replacement and Right Deal was the most transparent by far. The crew showed up exactly on time, completely stripped and replaced the roof in one day, and left our yard spotless. They even ran magnets to pick up every single stray nail. Highly recommend.
