Southampton is one mailing name covering two separate townships. This is the Upper Southampton side, permits included.
The Southampton postal name covers two independent municipalities, Upper Southampton Township and Lower Southampton Township, and homeowners regularly file with the wrong one. Upper Southampton sits along Street Road and Second Street Pike with the Pennsylvania Turnpike across its middle. Its housing is mostly a 1950s and 1960s build-out of ranches, capes and split levels, with Davisville and Churchville at its edges. Passenger rail service here ended in 1983.
We verify the parcel’s municipality before any paperwork goes out, then replace with full tear-off, new underlayment, new flashing and ventilation matched to the attic. Roofing permits for Upper Southampton addresses come from Upper Southampton Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.
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.
Houses put up within roughly fifteen years of each other reach the end of their second roof at roughly the same time, and many already have layers stacked up.
Two and three layers are common on this stock and all of it has to come off.
Where a lower roof meets an upper wall, step and counter flashing is the weak point.
Original lead and rubber boots on plumbing stacks crack and leak long before shingles do.
Upper Southampton Township issues your permit, not the neighboring Lower Southampton office.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

The mailing address will not tell you, because Southampton is a postal name shared by both townships. Upper Southampton lies north of the line, Lower Southampton south of it, and each issues its own roofing permits under the PA Uniform Construction Code. We check the parcel record first and file with the correct township.
Yes, and it is one of the most common calls on this housing stock. The fix is proper step flashing woven into the shingle courses with counter flashing over it, rather than sealant smeared along the joint. Rebuilt that way the transition holds up, and it is included in a full replacement.
Frequently. The rubber collar around a plumbing stack hardens, splits and lets water run down the pipe into the ceiling below, and the shingles around it look perfectly fine. New boots go on with every replacement we do, and on an otherwise sound roof replacing them alone is a small, inexpensive repair.
In most cases yes, from the edge thickness at the rake, the gutter line and a look at the decking from inside the attic. Layer count affects both labor and disposal, so we settle it before quoting rather than raising the price mid-job. If there is any doubt we say so up front.
