Paramount Home Solutions repairs leaking, storm-damaged shingle roofs in Pottstown – leaks at the chimney and where your roof meets the house next door, shingles lifted by summer storms, winter leaks after a thaw. We find where the water gets in, put the price in writing before any work and drive out from our office in Schwenksville, about 16 miles and roughly 30 minutes away. Open every day, 8 AM to 8 PM.

We repair pitched asphalt-shingle roofs, and on the houses here the work often starts at the metal joints.
Water slips in where the roof meets a brick chimney, the neighbor's wall or roof, or the sides of a dormer. We reseal or replace the step flashing and counterflashing there. It's flashing work only, not brickwork. Call when a stain shows up on that wall.
Before we price anything, we trace where the water actually gets in: flashing, a pipe boot, a valley where two slopes meet, or one lifted shingle. On an older roof we also count the layers. Call as soon as a stain appears or spreads.
A summer thunderstorm can lift, crease or tear off shingles, and a falling limb can break them outright. We replace the damaged ones and reseal the courses above. Call when shingles turn up on the lawn or a limb comes down on the roof.
Stains after snow and a thaw, ice along the gutter edge, frost or damp insulation in the attic – call us. We check the eaves, the flashing and the attic ventilation behind it, then fix what's letting water in.
The rubber collar around a plumbing vent, called a pipe boot, cracks from sun and age, and water runs down the pipe into the ceiling below. We replace the boot and check the vent flashing. Call if the drip sits near a bathroom.
Hail bruises shingles and strips granules where you can't see it from the street, and it's hit Montgomery County every year for a decade. Call after a hailstorm. We photograph each slope, mark the squares an adjuster counts hits in and can pull a free storm-history report for your address.
About four in ten Pottstown homeowners live in a twin or a rowhome, and about half of owner-occupied homes here were built before 1950. More houses in town heat with oil than with gas – about a third of them – and an oil furnace means a brick chimney. Put those together and you get our first two stops on a visit: the flashing around that chimney, and the joint where your roof butts against your neighbor's. That joint depends on step flashing, the L-shaped pieces woven into each shingle row, and counterflashing, the metal set into the mortar that laps over them. A roof on a house this old has usually been re-covered more than once, so we count the layers too.
Then there's the weather. Severe thunderstorm winds hit somewhere in Montgomery County on about nine days a year, mostly in June, July and August, and gusts near 70 mph have been measured right here more than once in recent years. Trees have come down on houses in town. So before we suggest anything, we photograph the whole roof, slope by slope, plus the chimney flashing. If your stain is where the chimney passes through, mention it when you call – we'll start there.
Four steps, and you know the price before anyone sets up a ladder.
We pick up every day from 8 AM to 8 PM. Tell us where the water shows and when it started.
We take pictures of all the slopes and check the chimney and party-wall flashing, the shingles, the ventilation, the attic and the decking – the plywood the roof is nailed to. It usually takes under an hour.
You get an itemized price with no obligation. It changes only if hidden damage turns up, and you'd hear it from us first.
Our own crews do the work. Before patching, we confirm your shingle line is still made, so the new pieces match.
We drive out to Pottstown from Schwenksville, a roughly 30-minute drive (about 16 miles), and here's what comes with the visit.

“After a storm, Paramount came out to inspect our roof and identified wind damage we hadn't noticed.”
“Working with Austin and Lando from Paramount Home Solutions on my roof repair was a great experience.”
“The rep, Sean, was knowledgeable. His inspection covered everything in the quote, no surprises.”
“He came out for a free roof inspection and quickly identified damage that I wouldn’t have noticed on my own.”
In an older Pottstown twin, the stain often turns up on the wall the chimney runs up or the wall you share with the neighbor, not right under the hole. Water travels along brick and decking before it drips. Where you see it isn't always where it gets in, so we trace it from the attic and the roof before naming a cause.
| What you notice | What's usually wrong | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| A stain upstairs where the chimney passes through | Loose or failed flashing where the roof meets the chimney brick | Reseal or replace the step flashing and counterflashing (flashing only, not the masonry) |
| A stain on the party wall you share with next door | The flashing along the joint between the two roofs has opened up | Replace the flashing along that joint and the shingles beside it |
| A stain after snow and a thaw, with ice along the gutter | Meltwater refreezing at the eaves and backing up under the shingles; attic ventilation out of balance | Check the eaves, the flashing and the attic airflow, then fix the entry point |
| Shingles on the sidewalk after a storm | Shingles lifted or torn off by wind | Replace the missing shingles and reseal the rows above them |
| A branch came down on the roof | Broken shingles, possibly cracked decking underneath | Replace the broken shingles and check the decking below them |
| A drip near a bathroom vent pipe | Cracked rubber pipe boot | Replace the boot and check the flashing around the vent |
| Granules piling in the gutters after hail | Bruised shingles, cracked under the granule coating | Photograph the hits and mark test squares for your adjuster |
Damage on several slopes, or a roof past 20 years? Read the next two sections before you pay for a patch.
A small repair – a few shingles, a cracked pipe boot – usually runs $150–$800. A larger section, or new flashing along a chimney or party wall, typically comes in anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. The inspection costs nothing, and neither does the storm-history report.
What moves the number is the type and size of the damage, the materials and the labor it takes. Urgent or structural repairs cost more. On an older house, a steep pitch and the number of layers we find under the top shingles matter too, since every extra layer means more to lift and more to check.
| Repair | Usually runs | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Free roof inspection | Free | – |
| Small repair (a few shingles or a pipe boot) | $150–$800 | How much is damaged, the roof's pitch and access |
| Larger section, or chimney or party-wall flashing | A few hundred dollars to several thousand | Size of the area and what's under it |
| Hidden damage such as rotted decking | Priced only after we show you | Found once the shingles come off |
If an urgent repair lands at a bad time, financing is available, with same-day approval in most cases; conditions apply. Either way, the full price is itemized on paper – materials, labor and any decking on separate lines – before any work starts, and it changes only if hidden damage turns up, which we'd tell you about first.
Our rule of thumb: isolated damage on a roof under about 15 years old is usually worth repairing. Widespread granule loss, curling on several slopes or a roof past 20 years points the other way. On a Pottstown house built before 1950, the roof may already carry two or three layers – we count them and tell you what we found. Before recommending a patch, we check that your shingle line is still in production, so the repair won't stand out. When replacement is the honest answer, we install complete GAF roofing systems: underlayment, starter strip, shingles, ridge cap and ventilation as one package. And if your roof is fine for now, you'll hear that from us. Financing covers either route, and approval usually comes the same day (conditions apply).
Call (267) 351-2882 – we answer from 8 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week. Summer leaks here usually follow a thunderstorm with wind and falling limbs, and winter ones often follow the thaw after a snow.
Water through the ceiling. Move furniture and electronics, catch the drip in a bucket with towels around it and photograph anything wet. If the ceiling sags, keep everyone out from under it and don't push on it.
Water near lights or outlets. Don't touch it. Turn that circuit off at the breaker panel only if you can reach it without standing in water; otherwise keep everyone away and call an electrician. Sparks, smoke or a burning smell mean everyone out and a call to 911.
Stay off the roof. Don't climb up, and keep away from fallen limbs and downed lines – stay well back and call PECO or 911. Take your photos from the ground.

Short answers to what people ask us before they book.
A small repair, like a few shingles or a pipe boot, usually runs $150–$800. A larger section or a long run of chimney or party-wall flashing typically lands between a few hundred dollars and several thousand. The inspection is free. Once we've seen the roof, you get your price line by line, on paper, before we start.
Usually the flashing where the roof meets the brick has loosened; the shingles themselves are often fine. Many houses here heat with oil, and an oil furnace means a brick chimney. On a twin it often sits on the shared wall, so the joint with the neighbor's roof is part of the picture. We reseal or replace the flashing. If the brick itself is the problem, we'll tell you plainly that it's masonry work we don't do.
It mostly matters for what gets replaced. The borough's historic district runs mainly around High, King, Chestnut and Walnut streets. Repairs that match what's already there can usually be approved by the borough's code officer, while replacing the roofing material goes to the review board. Roofs you can't see from the street don't have to meet the district guidelines. And if your roof is slate, that's not something we repair.
Work inside, never on the roof. Move what you can, set a bucket under the drip with towels around it, and stay away from water near lights or outlets – shut that circuit off at the panel only if you can reach it without standing in water. Keep everyone clear of a sagging ceiling, photograph the damage, then call (267) 351-2882; our phones are on from 8 AM to 8 PM daily.
Start with the state registration – ours is PA Home Improvement Contractor registration PA166876. Pennsylvania expects a home improvement job over $500 to come with a written, signed contract, and ours begins with an itemized estimate you can read line by line. Ask for proof of insurance; we carry general liability and workers' compensation. You can also look up our BBB file, where we hold an A+ rating.
Call (267) 351-2882 or send the form. We'll photograph the roof from every side, show you the chimney flashing up close and give you the price on paper before we touch a shingle. Then you decide.
