From Landmark and Mansion Roofs to Residential Roof Upgrades
Wayne, like most towns on the Main Line grew due to the proximity to a Pennsylvania railroad station and is known for some opulent homes, great food on restaurant row, rich history, art & nature, and numerous events and activities.
A little history…Originally called Cleaver’s Landing, and quickly renamed for Revolutionary War general “Mad Anthony” Wayne — nickname due to his legendary military daring. Banker J. Henry Astin planted the first seed of growth in 1867 with a mansion named “Louella,” after his daughters Louisa and Ella. Banker Anthony J. Drexel and his fellow Public Ledger owner, publisher George W. Childs, bought Astin’s 293-acre estate in 1880 and turned it into a development they called Wayne Estate.

Ashpalt Roofing Contractor
The great majority of our buildings in Wayne with sloped roofs are covered with asphalt or fiberglass shingles due to its lightweight and affordability. There is a vast sea of contractors out there today, who maybe gone tomorrow, making all sorts of promises and guarantees. If you are in need of a roof repair or replacement, our Project Managers are available to make an inspection and provide you with our recommendation to help you make the decision, even if it’s not us.
Most residential roofing contractors are enticed to promote a certain manufacturer or brand in order to earn free trips, cash bonuses, and other incentives. Kaller Roofing chooses not to do that. We will recommend the best option for your project, which could include different shingle manufacturers, and price points to help you make the decision. But almost every time Kaller is going to recommend complete removal of the existing roofing shingles. Why? It’s the better job; we repair any damage to the wood roof deck, remove and replace old critically important metal flashing details. No doubt you will hear other advice saying that it’s not necessary, trying to sell you on a cheap price. You will get what you pay for; compare the details in the specifications that you receive. Kaller will always submit for your approval a detailed, written specification and cost proposal.
You are welcome to schedule an appointment at our office to view our the shingle options from all the top shingle manufacturers.

Experienced Tile Roofer
We have many beautiful, expertly installed old tile roofs in our region near Wayne. The chances are good that your tile is still in excellent condition, but if you are having leaks it’s probably not the tile causing the problem, but some metal flashing elements that have deteriorated and need to be replaced. The tile can last for hundreds of years, the copper or tin used in the flashing has a typical lifespan of fifty to seventy five years. We have eighty years of experience taking these roofs apart, replacing deteriorated metal valleys or chimney flashings and putting the tile roof back together again like nothing ever happened.
Tile is an excellent choice if you are in the design or construction phase of new building. We would be happy to show you some of the projects we have performed from start to finish.
Metal Roofing Contractor
A metal roof can be an excellent option for a long term investment. Kaller’s long experience in building restoration includes the replacement of old tin roofs, newly fabricated and installed following the original design.
Today’s new design interests include high grade, color coated aluminum or steel roofing systems. If you have a little copper bay window roof, or a terne coated stainless steel double lock standing seam roof on your museum, we’ve done it! We can help you through the design and material choices to find the right fit for your project.
No matter what roofing style you decide to choose, Kaller Roofing has the experienced craftsmen in house to properly fabricate and install your metal roof. If you want a truly unique roof that’s durable and beautiful, metal may be the way to go.
Flat Roofing Done Right
Flat roofing materials have advanced greatly, some of us are old enough to remember roofing trucks towing a hot tar kettle. Today with the advancement of materials, we have many other types of systems to consider, depending on the project design and parameters. New materials such as EPDM, TPO, PVC, Mod-Bit and others which we can help you understand what’s best for your project.
Flat roofs are critically important to get right, because they are, flat. Water needs to be properly drained. Perhaps you have a ponding condition on your flat roof that requires attention with new tapered roof panels to provide positive pitch towards the drain. Proper flashing details need to be expertly completed at all drainage, side walls, chimneys and any other building elements that intersect the flat roof. So if a problem exists with the adjoining carpentry or masonry that needs repair in the course of the project, Kaller has the in-house manpower to perform the project in its entirety.
Historic Roof Restoration
We have performed restorations on some of our country’s oldest buildings. The U.S. Department of Interior chose Kaller Roofing to do Independence Hall, listed on the world’s registry of historic buildings. The City of Philadelphia chose us to do the roof restoration on the Betsy Ross House. Philadelphia Fairmount Park Commission chose us to do the roof restoration on many of the historic mansions in Fairmount Park.
Sacred Building Roofing Contractor
We treasure our places of worship, and our region has a treasured amount of magnificent sacred buildings built with the finest of roofing materials – tile, slate, and copper. These great buildings were sometimes built by hand. Selection of long lasting roofing materials was a key design element, not only for beauty but just as importantly the century lasting qualities so the next generation is not burdened with the roofing maintenance expense. Kaller Roofing is the go-to source for many board of directors, property committees, sextons, and sham mashes. We have the craftsmen and the experience to diagnose difficult building leaks, repair work, and total restoration projects.
International Roofing Contractor
When the U.S. Government performed its nationwide pre-qualification process to select a proven group of roofing contractors with an extensive track record of performing on complex and difficult projects, Kaller was one of the few that met all the qualification requirements. Passing all the Department of Defense (DoD) security background checks, Kaller was provided DoD security clearance to perform roofing projects onsite at some of our most sensitive overseas locations at United States Embassies. The rooftop of an embassy building is the home for the satellite and antenna arrays that are critical to the operation of the embassy, and challenging equipment that needs to be properly built into the roof system. Demanding projects on multiple continents requiring all equipment, tools, materials, personnel to meet strict American specifications all shipped securely from the U.S. and guided through foreign ports per DoD requirements.
Completed Roofing Work Near Wayne Pennsylvania
Excellent workmanship, high professionalism in the entire crew, especially the foreman, Mike Austin. They were prompt, kept us apprised of the progress, excellent site cleanup at the end of each day, and upon job completion. Beautiful result. Will recommend to others. This is the second time Kaller has roofed our house, our experience 30 years ago brought us back this time.
Rob Nelson
The roofers explained everything beforehand and were very prompt each day. They appeared to be very knowledgeable. We had a very bad experience with another roofing company and Keller was certainly much more professional and trustworthy. We will definitely use Keller again if we need a roofer.
Ellen Madof
Our home’s slate roof and ice damaged gutters were in need of professional help. An exhausting search lead us to Kaller and Sons. Chuck made the whole process painless while Rich and Carlos’s high level craftsmanship along with quality materials yielded amazing results. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you gentlemen.
