Comprehensive Roofing Services for Bucks County

slate roofing, professional roofing services in bucks county montgomery county pa western nj

Slate Roofing – Our Signature Specialty

Bucks County’s architectural landscape features hundreds of slate roofs on historic farmhouses, Victorians in Doylestown and New Hope, and distinguished properties throughout the county. Franco Roofing has become Bucks County’s trusted slate roofing specialist through decades of installations, repairs, and restorations.

Our slate roofing expertise encompasses complete installations using Pennsylvania natural slate (including local Bangor slate), Vermont slate, and premium synthetic alternatives like DaVinci and EcoStar. We understand slate selection nuances—matching colors and textures for historic restorations, sourcing appropriate grades for specific applications, and coordinating with preservation boards when working in historic districts.

Slate roof repair is equally critical in Bucks County where many homes feature original slate installations from the early 1900s. Our craftsmen identify failing slates, assess structural capacity, locate matching replacement slates, and execute repairs blending seamlessly with original installations. We’ve saved countless historic slate roofs from unnecessary replacement through comprehensive repair programs.

Premium Siding Services Throughout Bucks County

James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

Franco Roofing is a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor—a distinction held by fewer than 5% of contractors nationally. This certification reflects our commitment to proper fiber cement installation and qualifies Bucks County homeowners for enhanced James Hardie warranties.

James Hardie siding has become increasingly popular throughout Bucks County for its authentic wood appearance combined with minimal maintenance and 30-50 year lifespan. The material resists rot, termites, and weather damage while maintaining appearance far longer than wood or vinyl alternatives.

We install the complete James Hardie product line including HardiePlank lap siding, HardieShingle siding (cedar shake appearance), HardiePanel vertical siding, and HardieTrim boards. Our installations incorporate proper moisture management, correct fastening techniques, and meticulous detail work ensuring decades of trouble-free performance.

Cedar Siding & Traditional Materials

Cedar siding represents traditional Bucks County architecture—particularly prevalent in the county’s historic villages and rural townships. Franco Roofing specializes in premium cedar siding installations using Clear and A-grade Eastern White Cedar and Western Red Cedar.

Our cedar siding expertise includes bevel siding (traditional clapboard), cedar shingle siding (distinctive shingled texture), and board-and-batten applications (vertical siding creating classic farmhouse character). Historic cedar siding restoration requires specialized skills—we match existing profiles, source appropriate grades, replicate original installation methods, and coordinate with preservation boards.

We also install premium vinyl siding from CertainTeed and Mastic for homeowners seeking maintenance-free exteriors. We specify only heavy-gauge vinyl (.044″-.046″ thickness) with enhanced fade resistance, avoiding economy-grade products that give vinyl poor reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bucks County Roofing & Siding

Why should I choose a local Bucks County contractor?

Local Bucks County contractors like Franco Roofing offer significant advantages over regional or national companies. We understand local building codes, work regularly with township officials, and know architectural styles throughout the county. Our 50+ year Bucks County presence means accountability—we’re invested in our reputation throughout the community.

Local contractors respond faster to warranty issues or concerns. We’re minutes away, not hours. When storm damage occurs or urgent repairs are needed, local contractors provide immediate response. Franco Roofing maintains 24/7 emergency service throughout Bucks County.

We also understand Bucks County’s preservation requirements. We’ve completed numerous projects in Doylestown and New Hope historic districts, understand HARB preferences, and navigate approval processes efficiently. This expertise prevents delays and ensures successful project completion. Choosing Franco Roofing supports your community while ensuring accountability and expertise.

What roofing material is best for Bucks County’s climate?

Bucks County’s climate—humid summers, cold winters with snow and ice, significant rainfall, and freeze-thaw cycles—challenges all roofing materials. The “best” material depends on your home’s architecture, budget, and maintenance preferences.

Slate roofing performs exceptionally in Bucks County, explaining its historical prevalence. Natural slate withstands freeze-thaw cycles, sheds snow effectively, resists weather damage, and lasts 100+ years. For historic homes or homeowners seeking lifetime solutions, slate is unmatched.

Cedar roofing suits Bucks County when properly installed with adequate ventilation and protection. Cedar’s natural properties resist rot and weather damage. With appropriate finishing and maintenance, cedar delivers 40-60 years of performance.

Metal roofing excels through superior snow shedding, resistance to freeze-thaw damage, and minimal maintenance requirements. Standing seam metal and metal shingles both perform excellently throughout Bucks County.

James Hardie fiber cement (for siding) is specifically engineered for climate extremes. The material resists moisture, won’t rot, and maintains integrity through temperature swings.
Franco Roofing assesses your specific situation—home architecture, budget parameters, and maintenance preferences—recommending materials optimal for your needs while ensuring performance in Bucks County’s climate.

How long does a typical roofing project take in Bucks County?

Project duration varies by scope, material, and complexity:

Asphalt roofing: 2-5 days for typical residential installations (1,500-3,000 sq ft). Weather permitting, most complete in 3 days.

Cedar roofing: 4-8 days depending on roof size and complexity. Hand-split cedar shakes require more installation time than milled shingles.

Slate roofing: 7-14 days for complete installations. Natural slate is heavy, fragile, and requires meticulous installation—rushing compromises quality.

Metal roofing: 4-7 days for standing seam systems; 5-9 days for metal shingle systems.

Siding projects: 7-21 days depending on home size, material, and preparation requirements. Complete siding replacement of 2,500 sq ft homes typically requires 10-14 days.

Weather affects timelines—rain delays slate and asphalt installation; extreme heat or cold can impact certain materials. Franco Roofing provides realistic schedules accounting for typical weather patterns. Historic restoration projects may require longer timelines due to custom material sourcing, specialized techniques, or preservation board coordination.

How do I know if my historic home qualifies for special treatment?

Bucks County features numerous properties with historic significance—some officially designated, others simply historic by age and character. Franco Roofing can help determine if your property requires special consideration.

Formal historic districts include Doylestown Borough Historic District, New Hope Historic District, and several others. Properties within these districts require Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB) approval for exterior changes including roofing and siding. Franco Roofing has extensive HARB experience and can guide you through approval processes.

National Register properties or locally designated landmarks may have specific requirements regardless of district location. We can research your property’s status and determine applicable requirements.

Historic character homes may not have formal designation but deserve appropriate materials and techniques. Franco Roofing specializes in sympathetic renovations honoring historic character while ensuring modern performance. We source appropriate materials, replicate historical details, and employ traditional craftsmanship even when not technically required.

Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes, Franco Roofing assists Bucks County homeowners throughout the insurance claim process following storm damage. Our services include emergency temporary repairs preventing further damage, comprehensive damage documentation with detailed reports and photos, insurance adjuster meetings and assessments, estimate preparation matching insurance requirements, and coordination with your insurance company ensuring fair claim settlement.

Many insurance policies cover storm damage to roofing—wind damage, hail damage, and tree impact typically qualify. However, claims require proper documentation and often adjuster negotiation. Franco Roofing’s experience with insurance claims ensures your damage is properly documented and fairly compensated.

We recommend contacting Franco Roofing immediately after storm damage—even before calling your insurance company. We’ll assess damage, provide emergency repairs if needed, and guide you through the claim process. Our documentation helps ensure claims are approved and fairly compensated. We work with all insurance companies serving Bucks County.
