Feasterville and Trevose ranches with shallow porch roofs and rear additions. Asphalt above, membrane where the pitch runs out.
Lower Southampton is the Feasterville and Trevose end of the township belt along Street Road and Bustleton Pike. It filled in during the 1950s and 1960s with ranches, capes and twins, and almost every one of those houses has since gained a porch roof, a carport or a rear addition. Those sections are shallow, sometimes nearly flat, and they are where the leaks start.
Shingle does not belong on a slope that shallow, so we specify EPDM or TPO there and detail the tie-in where the membrane meets the asphalt above it. Both get done in one visit. The roofing permit is issued by Lower Southampton Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Shallow add-on sections drain slowly, hold debris and sit under the main roof’s runoff, which is why they usually go long before the shingles above them.
Shingle laid on a near-flat porch roof will leak regardless of how well it was nailed.
Where a membrane meets shingle above it, the transition has to be built rather than caulked.
Leaves and grit collect on low-slope sections and hold water against the seams.

No. Feasterville and Trevose are places within Lower Southampton Township, which is the authority that issues your roofing permit under the PA Uniform Construction Code, and Bucks County plays no part in it. We confirm the parcel’s municipality first, since Upper Southampton and Bensalem sit close by.
Very common on houses of this era. The porch or addition roof is shallow, takes runoff from the main slope and drains slowly, so it wears out faster. It can be replaced on its own, but if the main roof is close to due, doing both at once gives you one properly built transition instead of two.
Both are single-ply membranes suited to low slope. EPDM is a black rubber sheet and very forgiving; TPO is usually white, reflects heat and is heat-welded at the seams. On a small porch roof either performs well, and we recommend based on the slope, the drainage and what sits above it.
Yes, and we work to the party wall and detail the edge so water cannot track into the neighboring roof. It is worth telling the adjoining owner what is happening, because doing both sides together produces a cleaner and usually cheaper result. Either way, we do not leave an open joint at the wall.
