Roofers in Wexford, PA
Many Wexford subdivisions were built from the 1980s to the 2000s, and a lot of those original roofs are now due. They tend to be large, steep and full of valleys, which is where builder-grade roofs fail first.
First-generation roofs
If you are the first or second owner, your roof may be the original one. Builder-grade shingles from that era are often reaching 20 to 25 years. Valleys and the step flashing behind vinyl siding are usually the first to go.
A roof inspection will tell you how many years are left, so you can budget instead of reacting to a leak.

Questions for roofers in Wexford
When should you call roofers in Wexford, PA?
When original builder-grade shingles reach 20 to 25 years, or when valleys or the step flashing behind vinyl siding start to leak. A roof inspection then tells you how many years are left.
What is step flashing on a Wexford house?
Small bent pieces of metal woven in with each course of shingles where a roof meets a wall. The 2026 code calls for flashing at least 4 inches up the wall and 4 inches onto the roof, tucked under the siding. On Wexford homes, step flashing behind vinyl siding is often the first thing to fail.
Do I need drip edge on a Wexford roof?
Yes. As of 2026, the building code requires drip edge at the eaves and rakes of shingle roofs, and a reroof has to meet the same rules. If your original Wexford roof doesn't have it, it goes on with the new one.
Why do roof valleys leak on Wexford homes?
A valley carries water from two slopes, so small mistakes show up there first. GAF's instructions call for a full-width leak barrier in the valley and no nails within 6 inches of its center line, because nails near the center can leak. Wexford's cut-up roofs have plenty of valleys to check.
