roofing in Haverford Township
Haverford Township is a Delaware County township that includes Havertown, Oakmont and Brookline. Its 1920s to 1950s twins and single-family homes on small lots often have pitched asphalt-shingle roofs. Permits come from the township. Call (833) 751-2102 for a leak, a lifted shingle or storm damage.
Haverford Township is a Delaware County township that includes Havertown, Oakmont and Brookline. Its housing is mostly from the 1920s through the 1950s: twins and single-family homes on small lots. The roofs are likely pitched, and asphalt shingle is the likely covering, which means the work is in the shingles, the valleys and the flashing at chimneys and vents.
Small lots make access the constraint. Philadelphia Roofing sends a local roofer who plans where the materials and debris will go before the crew starts, and who checks the township's requirements for the job.
Haverford's older twins sit on small lots, and that shapes the work as much as the roof does. A roofer plans the ladder, the materials and the debris before the crew starts, and checks the neighbors' access early.

What does a 1920s to 1950s twin roof usually need?
An older twin has a pitched roof with a ridge, valleys where the wings meet and a chimney or two. Shingles lift at the edges and the valleys collect debris, and those are repaired from the roof. Old flashing at the chimney is a frequent source of leaks.
A roofer checks the shingles and flashing from the roof and the underside of the deck from the attic. That shows whether a stain inside is coming from a failed shingle or from moisture that has built up over time.
How does a small lot shape the work?
On a small lot there is little room for a dumpster or a stack of shingles. The crew plans the delivery, the debris route and the parking before it starts, and the neighbors on either side should know the schedule.
Tell the roofer about the lot when you call. The plan can then be built around the access, and there are fewer surprises on the first morning.
Who issues permits in Haverford Township?
Permits for roof work in Haverford Township come from the township, not from Philadelphia. Montgomery and Delaware County townships issue their own permits under the local building code, and the township's process and fees are not set out on this page.
Ask the township office what it requires for your roof before the job is booked, and keep the answer in writing.
What do the older twins in Haverford need from a chimney and valley check?
A 1920s to 1950s twin in Haverford may have one chimney shared by both wings, and the flashing around it is a seam that works loose as the masonry moves. A roofer checks the flashing, the cap and the mortar joints from the roof, and then looks at the stain in the attic beneath the chimney.
Valleys between the wings of a twin collect water from both slopes. The metal in the valley and the shingles lapped over it are checked, and debris is cleared so that the valley drains freely. A valley that holds water wears its shingles from underneath.
Attic ventilation is part of the same check. Warm, moist air that cannot leave the attic condenses on the cold boards in winter, so the vents are checked and the airflow noted before the roof work is scoped.

FAQ
Haverford Township FAQs
Is a shingle repair on a Haverford twin a permit job?
Some repairs are not, but a replacement usually is. The township decides what applies to your roof. Ask its office before the work is scheduled.
The stain is by the chimney. Is it the chimney or the shingles?
It is often the flashing around the chimney. A technician checks the flashing and the chimney base from the roof and looks at the stain from the attic side, which usually shows where the water is coming in.
Where will the crew put the dumpster on a small lot?
That is planned before the start date, often in the driveway or on the street with the neighbors' agreement. Tell the roofer about the lot's access so the plan fits.
How often should the gutters on an older twin be cleared?
Gutters on older twins should be cleared after each leaf fall and after big storms, and the downspouts checked to make sure water leaves the house. A roofer can show you where debris collects on your house.
Why does the attic ceiling below the chimney stain after every heavy rain?
The flashing or the mortar around the chimney may be letting water in, and the stain shows where it runs. A roofer checks the flashing and the masonry from the roof and the attic before deciding the repair.
