Garden City went up for returning veterans in the 1940s. Wallingford is older, larger and shaded. Two street patterns, two kinds of roof problem, one township office.
Nether Providence sits between Crum Creek and Ridley Creek, with Wallingford in the middle, South Media at the top and Garden City to the south. Garden City is rows and ranch houses put up in the 1940s for returning veterans, low and continuous. Wallingford is older, larger and heavily shaded, with steeper pitches and more original roof detail still in place.
We treat the two differently. Continuous rooflines need attention where one unit’s plane ends and the next begins. Older Wallingford houses need valleys, chimney saddles and porch roofs looked at individually. Either way the roofing permit is issued by Nether Providence Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and we pull it before the crew arrives.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing for homes and townhomes across the area.
Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Rows built as one structure share a roof plane, so the transitions between units and the shallow pitch are where leaks begin rather than the open field.
Where one home’s roof meets the next, flashing and termination detail carry all the risk.
Low slopes on 1940s rows need underlayment specified for that pitch, sometimes membrane.
Crum and Ridley Creek canopy keeps north slopes damp and fills valleys with debris.
The township issues roofing permits under state code, and we file the application for you.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

Yes, and it is done regularly. The important part is how we terminate at your neighbors’ planes so water does not track sideways under their shingles or yours. We build that detail deliberately in metal, rather than relying on a bead of sealant at the joint.
No. Wallingford is a postal name and a community within Nether Providence Township, so the roofing permit comes from the township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Rose Valley and Media next door are separate municipalities with their own offices, which is where the confusion usually comes from.
Shade. Between Crum Creek and Ridley Creek there is a great deal of canopy, and a slope that never dries holds algae and moss. That keeps the mat wet, loosens granules and shortens the life of that side. It is normal to see one slope fail well ahead of the other.
Yes. Shallow additions and porch roofs get a membrane system, EPDM or TPO, rather than shingles, because shingles do not seal at that pitch. The critical detail is where the low-slope section meets the steep roof and the wall above it, and we rebuild that flashing.
