Mature canopy over sixties and seventies singles. In Maple Glen the trees are the amenity and the roof’s biggest problem at the same time.
Maple Glen is the wooded northwest corner of Upper Dublin Township, off Welsh Road and drained toward the Wissahickon. Most of the housing is single-family, built between the mid-fifties and the seventies, with later infill on larger lots. The canopy is the reason people want to live here. It also drops needles and leaves into valleys, keeps north slopes damp, and puts limbs over roof planes.
So we look at the shaded slopes and the valleys before anything else, specify algae-resistant shingles, keep valleys open rather than woven shut, and talk about which limbs should come back. Ventilation gets checked too, because damp shade and a sealed attic together shorten a roof fast. Permits are issued by Upper Dublin Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Algae streaking is mostly cosmetic, but moss is not. Moss holds water against the shingle and lifts its edges, which lets wind get underneath. On shaded Maple Glen slopes we treat it, cut back the limbs feeding the shade, and specify algae-resistant shingles on replacement.
Upper Dublin Township. Maple Glen is a postal and census name inside the township, so there is no separate Maple Glen government to apply to, and the county is not involved. We file the application under the PA Uniform Construction Code and see the inspection through.
Twice a year is the working minimum here, in late spring and again after leaf drop. Packed valleys and gutters are the most common cause of winter backup we see on wooded lots. If your gutters overflow in a normal rain, the roof edge is already taking water it should not.
Usually the decking and the ventilation. Sixties houses often have thin sheathing, an undersized soffit intake, and valleys the last crew shingled over. Tear-off tells us the truth. We quote the replacement and list the likely extras up front so a surprise on day two is not a surprise.
