A compact old borough in the county’s southwest corner, where nineteenth-century eaves and modern winters do not get along.
Oxford is a small borough at the southwest corner of the county, built up hard between 1850 and 1870 as a rail and manufacturing town and later a milk and trading center. The Oxford Historic District, listed on the National Register in 2008, covers much of the old core. Housing runs to brick and frame twins and singles on small lots, with newer pockets at the edges. Oxford Area schools serve it.
Nineteenth-century houses were built with narrow eaves, no soffit ventilation, and no underlayment worth the name, which is why ice damming turns up here every few winters. We add ice and water membrane at the eaves, create intake where none exists, and rebuild the edge metal. Permits for roof work inside the borough are issued by Oxford Borough under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

A narrow unvented eave over a warm wall lets snowmelt refreeze at the edge, and the dam pushes water back under shingles that only know how to shed downhill.
Ice and water underlayment at the eaves is the first defense against damming.
Houses with no soffit need edge or fascia vents to feed a ridge vent.
Metal porch roofs on this stock are often repairable rather than due for replacement.
Oxford Borough, not the county or a township, issues permits inside borough limits.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Oxford Borough. The borough administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code for properties inside borough limits, and the surrounding townships handle their own, so an Oxford mailing address outside the borough line goes somewhere else entirely. We confirm the parcel and file with the right office.
Heat loss into the attic melts snow on the upper roof, the water runs to the cold eave and refreezes, and the ridge of ice that builds there holds water back under the shingles. Shingles are not watertight against standing water. Eave membrane, air sealing and ventilation are the fix.
The National Register listing for the Oxford Historic District is a recognition and planning designation, and it does not by itself dictate your shingle choice. What governs the job is the borough permit and whatever local requirements are in effect, so we confirm those with the borough office before ordering material.
Yes. We stage from the street, use a smaller container or load straight into a truck, and arrange the parking we need ahead of time. Protecting the neighbors matters more on a tight lot, so we tarp and magnet-sweep for nails at the end of each day on both sides.
