Post-war blocks off Easton Road, a Warminster Line station, and roofs that are mostly on their second or third covering.
Willow Grove grew around the park and the rail line, then filled in hard in the twenty years after the war. The result is street after street of modest capes, ranches and twins on small lots off Easton Road, Moreland Road and County Line Road, with the mall now standing where the amusement park was. Very little of this housing stock is younger than 1970.
Houses that age have been re-roofed once or twice already, often quickly. We look for layered shingle, reused flashing at chimneys and sidewalls, and vents never sized for the attic below. Most of Willow Grove sits in Upper Moreland Township, which issues the roofing permit under the PA Uniform Construction Code; the smaller part falls in Abington Township, and that permit comes from Abington.

Every extra layer hides the deck, adds weight and makes flashing details harder to do correctly, which is why we usually recommend taking everything off.
Two or three coverings hide deck condition and complicate every flashing detail.
Brick chimneys on these houses need new step and counterflashing, not sealant.
Small cape attics overheat and hold moisture without proper intake at the eaves.
Upper Moreland issues most Willow Grove roof permits; Abington covers the rest.

Willow Grove is a census place, not a municipality. Most of it lies in Upper Moreland Township, which issues the roofing permit under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and part of it lies in Abington Township, which issues its own. We confirm from the parcel before filing so it reaches the right office.
Yes, for three reasons. You cannot judge the deck through three layers, the weight is real, and every flashing detail gets harder to do correctly as the stack builds. Pennsylvania code also limits how many layers may stay. On a house from this era we almost always recommend a full tear-off.
Cape attics are shallow and often have knee-wall spaces with little or no intake ventilation, so heat has nowhere to go. Adding exhaust alone does not fix it and can pull conditioned air out of the house. Intake at the eaves balanced with exhaust at the ridge is what changes the temperature.
We do. We prepare the application with the product and manufacturer detail the township wants, file it, and meet the inspector if one is scheduled. You get copies for your records. Homeowners may pull their own permit in Pennsylvania, but there is little reason to when the contractor is licensed and insured.
