General Questions
Franco Roofing Inc. was founded in 1971 and is a second-generation family roofing business serving southeastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey. The company specializes in roofing and siding, including work on slate, cedar, metal, asphalt, and other exterior systems.
Franco Roofing serves Bucks County and Montgomery County in Pennsylvania as well as portions of western New Jersey, including communities in Mercer and Hunterdon Counties. Because service boundaries can vary by project, customers outside the locations listed on the website should contact Franco Roofing to confirm availability.
Yes. Franco Roofing currently offers free estimates for roofing and siding projects. An on-site assessment allows the company to evaluate the property and prepare recommendations based on the actual scope of work.
Yes. Franco Roofing currently offers emergency roofing service for urgent issues such as active leaks and storm-related roof damage. If water is entering the property, take reasonable steps to protect the interior without climbing onto a damaged or wet roof.
Roof Repair & Replacement
Localized damage can often be repaired when the rest of the roof is still performing properly. Replacement becomes more likely when deterioration is widespread, leaks continue to recur, multiple components are failing, or the overall roofing system has reached the point where additional repairs are no longer practical.
Yes. Franco Roofing can inspect and repair many roofing systems regardless of the original installer. The first step is identifying the cause and extent of the problem and determining whether an appropriate repair can be made.
Move belongings away from the affected area and contain interior water if it can be done safely. Do not climb onto a wet, icy, storm-damaged, or unstable roof. Contact a roofing contractor so the source of the leak can be identified and temporary or permanent repairs can be recommended.
Once existing roofing materials are removed, previously hidden deterioration may become visible. Damaged or unsuitable decking must be addressed before the new roofing system is installed correctly. If additional work is required, the contractor should explain the condition and recommended correction.
Roofing Materials
Franco Roofing installs and repairs asphalt shingles, slate, cedar, and metal roofing systems. The company has particular experience with specialty materials commonly found on older and architecturally distinctive properties.
There is no single roofing material that is best for every property. The right choice depends on roof structure and slope, architectural style, existing materials, desired appearance, maintenance expectations, budget, and long-term plans for the home.
Yes, in many cases. When deterioration is limited, individual slate, cedar pieces, flashing, and related components may be repaired while preserving the rest of the roof. A material-specific inspection should determine whether localized repair is practical.
Often, suitable materials can be found to coordinate with existing slate, cedar, shingles, or exterior finishes. Exact matching is not always possible, especially with aged natural products, so the existing material should be evaluated before replacements are selected.
Siding
Yes. Franco Roofing provides siding installation, repair, and replacement in addition to roofing services.
Franco Roofing works with siding options including fiber cement, vinyl, cedar, and other wood products. The right material depends on the home’s architecture, maintenance preferences, desired appearance, existing exterior, and project budget.
Localized damage may be repairable when the surrounding siding remains in good condition and compatible replacement material is available. More widespread deterioration can make full or partial replacement a more practical option.
Yes. When both systems need attention, coordinating roofing and siding work can help ensure flashing, trim, drainage, and other exterior transitions are addressed in the proper sequence.
Project & Warranty Questions
The process typically begins with an assessment of the property and discussion of the problem or project goals. Franco Roofing can then explain appropriate options, materials, anticipated scope of work, and pricing based on the conditions found.
Franco Roofing currently states that its roofing installations include a 10-year workmanship warranty. Customers should review the written warranty documentation provided with their project for the exact terms, coverage, requirements, and exclusions.
