A station name rather than a town, on Upper Darby Township ground. Roof replacement with attic airflow taken seriously.
Secane takes its name from the station on the Media line, and the neighborhood grew outward from the platform. On the Delaware County map the ground here is Upper Darby Township. The housing is twins and modest singles from the twenties through the fifties, close together, with small attics under steep front slopes and rear additions added since. Nothing about it reads as a separate town except the address.
Attics on these houses were built before anyone thought about airflow, and a roof over a dead attic does not last its warranty. We correct intake and exhaust as part of the install rather than selling it separately. Roofing permits for Secane are issued by Upper Darby Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Soffit intake opened and ridge exhaust added so the attic actually breathes.

It depends on the parcel, because the Secane name sits near a municipal line. For the Upper Darby Township portion the permit comes from Upper Darby Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code. We verify the municipality from the property record before filing so the paperwork is right the first time.
Partly. A sealed attic with no intake at the soffits and no exhaust at the ridge traps heat against the ceiling and bakes the shingle from beneath. Adding proper ventilation during a re-roof lowers the attic temperature and extends the life of the new roof. It is not an upgrade so much as a requirement.
Not when it is installed correctly. A ridge vent has an external baffle and a filter that keeps wind-driven rain and snow out while letting warm air escape. The failures we see come from vents installed without opening the deck properly underneath, or with no soffit intake to draw air in.
Often both things are needed, but they do different jobs. Insulation keeps heat in the house; ventilation removes the heat and moisture that get into the attic anyway. Adding insulation over blocked soffits can make ice damming worse. We look at the two together before recommending either.
