Roofing, Siding & Exterior Remodeling in Quakertown, PA

Quakertown is home. E&K Contracting works out of 1803 W Broad Street, on the west side of the borough where Broad Street runs toward Milford Square, so a Quakertown estimate is the shortest drive we make. Jeff has spent 20+ years on roofs, siding, and windows in Upper Bucks, and the borough and the Richland Township neighborhoods that surround it are where a large share of that work has been done.

Being local is practical, not sentimental. We know how the wind comes across the open ground north of town along Route 663, how the older blocks off Broad and Main hold water at the eaves in a freeze, and which developments off Route 309 were built in the same few years with the same roofing and are now aging out together. When you see one of our trucks in your neighborhood, it is because we are working on a house nearby.

Quakertown's housing runs from turn-of-the-century twins and Victorians on the borough grid to the 1950s–70s ranches and split-levels of Richland Township and the newer developments toward Milford Square and Trumbauersville. The older borough homes often carry several generations of roofing decisions, and a full tear-off is the first time anyone has seen the decking in decades — which is exactly why we never lay new shingles over old ones.

The mid-century homes tend to need attic ventilation and insulation looked at alongside the roof, since many were built with the bare minimum of both. Winters here are hard on exteriors: freeze-thaw cycles work water into every weak seam, ice dams form on under-ventilated eaves, and vinyl siding nailed too tight cracks in January. Our roof system — ice and water shield at the eaves, synthetic underlayment, and ridge ventilation — is built for that.
