Comprehensive Roofing Solutions for Doylestown
Slate Roofing – Historic District Specialists
Doylestown’s architectural landscape features exceptional slate roofing—particularly throughout the historic borough where Victorian homes, stone houses, and distinguished properties showcase Pennsylvania’s slate roofing heritage. Franco Roofing has become Doylestown’s trusted slate roofing specialist through decades of installations, repairs, and restorations on the community’s most prestigious properties.
Our slate roofing expertise encompasses complete installations using Pennsylvania natural slate (including locally-sourced Bangor slate and other regional varieties), Vermont slate in multiple colors for aesthetic coordination, and premium synthetic slate from DaVinci and EcoStar when appropriate. We understand slate selection complexities specific to Doylestown applications—matching weathered colors on historic properties, coordinating with HARB preferences for historic district work, and ensuring structural adequacy for slate’s significant weight.
Historic slate repair represents critical expertise in Doylestown where many borough properties feature original slate installations from the 1800s and early 1900s. Our craftsmen assess slate condition with deep understanding of aging patterns, identify structural concerns common in historic buildings, source matching replacement slates (often from salvaged materials or specialty suppliers), and execute repairs blending seamlessly with original work. We’ve preserved countless Doylestown slate roofs that would otherwise have been replaced—saving homeowners significant costs while maintaining historic character.
When working within Doylestown Borough Historic District, we coordinate HARB approvals by preparing detailed applications with material samples, photographs, and specifications; attending HARB meetings to present projects when beneficial; and ensuring installations meet preservation standards while incorporating modern performance enhancements invisible from exterior. Our established HARB relationship and approval history benefit Doylestown homeowners through streamlined processes.
Cedar Shake & Shingle Roofing
Cedar roofing brings traditional beauty to Doylestown homes—from historic Victorian gables to contemporary estate properties throughout Doylestown Township. Franco Roofing specializes in premium Eastern White Cedar and Western Red Cedar installations, offering both hand-split cedar shakes and precision-milled cedar shingles appropriate for diverse architectural applications.
Our cedar roofing expertise serves Doylestown’s varied needs. For historic properties and HARB projects, we employ traditional installation methods, source appropriate grades matching period construction, and execute work honoring architectural integrity. For contemporary applications, we incorporate modern underlayment systems, enhanced ventilation techniques, and advanced treatment processes extending cedar’s 40-60 year lifespan while maintaining natural beauty.
Cedar quality critically impacts both appearance and longevity on Doylestown’s prominent properties. Clear and A-grade cedar provide the consistent grain patterns, minimal knots, and superior durability appropriate for distinguished installations. Franco Roofing never compromises cedar quality for visible Doylestown properties where appearance and community standards matter.
Premium Asphalt Roofing
While specializing in premium materials, Franco Roofing recognizes architectural asphalt shingles remain appropriate for many Doylestown properties. We install exclusively premium architectural-grade shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO—products delivering 25-30 year performance when properly installed.
Our asphalt installations emphasize longevity through proper ventilation systems, extensive ice and water protection (critical in Pennsylvania winters), premium synthetic underlayments, and meticulous detail work. We guide Doylestown homeowners through shingle selection considering architectural appropriateness, color coordination, warranty coverage, and impact resistance ratings valuable for insurance discounts.
Metal Roofing Systems
Metal roofing serves both traditional and contemporary applications throughout Doylestown. For historic properties, traditional standing seam metal in appropriate colors complements Victorian and Colonial architecture. For modern homes and additions, contemporary metal systems provide 50-70 year solutions with minimal maintenance and exceptional energy efficiency.
Our metal roofing installations respect Doylestown’s architectural context and HARB requirements when applicable. We employ traditional standing seam profiles and appropriate colors (dark bronze, charcoal, weathered zinc) on historic properties, while offering modern systems and metal shingle alternatives on contemporary properties or where HARB permits innovative approaches.
Copper roofing represents the premium option for Doylestown’s most distinguished properties. We install traditional copper standing seam systems, specialty copper valleys and flashings, and architectural copper elements. Copper’s developing patina suits Doylestown’s historic character while providing 100+ year longevity—truly a lifetime roofing investment.
