Pre-war housing along Bethlehem Pike, where slate, cedar and low-slope porch roofs are still in service on plenty of Flourtown homes.
Flourtown sits in Springfield Township on the Bethlehem Pike corridor, with Fort Washington State Park on one side and Erdenheim and Oreland as neighbors. Much of the housing predates the war: stone and stucco twins, center-hall colonials, and Tudor-influenced houses with steep pitches, dormers and deep porches. A good share of those roofs were originally slate or cedar, and some still are.
Mixed-material roofs need mixed answers. We match architectural asphalt on main fields, keep standing-seam metal on porch and bay roofs where it belongs, and use membrane on genuinely flat sections. Springfield Township issues and inspects the roofing permit for Flourtown addresses under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

A steep slate or asphalt main field, a low-slope porch, and a metal bay roof all meet on the same building, and the transitions are where failures start.
Sound slate can be repaired for years rather than torn off and replaced.
Deep front porches need membrane or metal, because shingle fails at that pitch.
Dormer cheeks and sidewalls on steep pre-war roofs need step flashing done properly.

Not necessarily, and often you do not need to replace it at all. Slate that is still sound can be repaired slate by slate, which is usually the cheaper and better answer. When it is genuinely spent, we lay out slate, synthetic slate and architectural asphalt side by side with honest numbers.
Springfield Township. Flourtown is a census-designated place inside the township, so the township’s code office handles the roofing permit and the inspection under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We file it, and the closed permit goes into your file with the warranty paperwork.
Porch roofs are nearly flat, and shingle does not seal at that slope. On pre-war Flourtown houses the porch roof was often a soldered metal pan, later shingled over by someone in a hurry. The fix is a proper membrane or standing-seam pan with the wall flashing rebuilt.
We tarp beds, protect walks and porch roofs, and set the dumpster where you agree to put it before the first bundle moves. On older properties with mature landscaping that planning matters as much as the roof work. We also run magnets over the lawn and drive at the end of each day.
