Roofing, Gutters, and Masonry Contractor in Narberth, PA
Most problems with a house start on the outside. A lifted shingle lets water under the roof, a clogged gutter spills against the foundation, and a cracked mortar joint opens a path into the wall. Scheinfield Contractors works on those outside systems for property owners in Narberth, and takes on general contracting when a project reaches past them.
Our Services
The roof, the gutters, and the masonry are separate trades, but they share one job: keeping water out of the building. Each service below has its own page with more on the work involved.
A roof does not have to be old to need attention. Wind lifts shingles, flashing pulls away from chimneys and walls, and a small leak can show up as a ceiling stain months after water first got in. Our roof repair in Narberth begins with an inspection to find where the problem actually starts, so the fix goes where it is needed.
There comes a point where patching stops making sense. When leaks keep returning or wear has spread across most of the surface, a new roof is usually the better use of money. Our roof replacement service page covers what that project looks like and the signs that a roof has reached the end of its life.
Gutters move roof water away from the house. When they sag, leak at the seams, or fill with leaves, that water ends up soaking the fascia boards or pooling against the foundation. Read more about our gutter services in Narberth.
Some projects involve more than one trade, and coordinating them yourself takes time most people do not have. With general contracting from Scheinfield Contractors, one contractor manages the work so the pieces fit together.
Brick and stone outlast nearly everything else on a building, but the mortar holding them together wears out much sooner. Chimneys, front steps, retaining walls, and foundations all depend on it. Our masonry work page explains what we look at and why loose or crumbling joints should not wait.
Serving Narberth and Nearby Communities
Narberth is a small borough, and our work takes us into the neighborhoods that surround it as well, including Wynnewood, Penn Valley, Merion Station, and Ardmore. Many houses in this part of Montgomery County have been standing for generations. Older roofs, original brick chimneys, and gutters that have been patched more than once are a common sight on the Main Line, and they tend to need the kind of exterior work we do.
How the Roof, Gutters, and Masonry Work Together
It helps to think of the outside of a house as one system rather than a list of parts. Rain hits the roof and runs toward the edges. The gutters catch it and send it down the downspouts, which should carry it away from the foundation. Masonry along the way, in chimneys, walls, and steps, has to shed whatever water reaches it.
When one piece fails, the others take the strain. A blocked gutter overflows onto brick that was never meant to stay wet. A damaged roof edge sends water behind the gutter instead of into it. Pennsylvania winters add another problem: water that soaks into mortar or under shingles freezes, expands, and widens the gap a little more each cycle.
That is why we look past the single spot a customer calls about. A leak above a window might trace back to flashing, to a gutter, or to the masonry around it. Finding the real source is what keeps the repair from coming back.
What to Expect When You Call
Start by telling us what you are seeing. A stain on a ceiling, water coming over the edge of a gutter, a chimney with loose bricks, or a roof that is simply getting old are all good reasons to call.
From there, we set a time to come look at the property. After the visit, you get a plain explanation of what we found, what needs to happen now, and what can wait. If more than one trade is involved, we explain how the pieces connect so you can decide how to move forward.
Questions before a visit are welcome too. Some people call just to find out whether what they are seeing is worth a closer look.
