A Perkiomen Creek village in Perkiomen Township, where stone farmhouses and newer large-lot builds share the same weather and the same code office.
Graterford is a small village along the Perkiomen Creek in Perkiomen Township, north of Collegeville and a few minutes from Schwenksville. The older stock is stone and frame farmhouse with steep pitches, deep eaves and metal porch roofs. Around it the township has added large-lot housing over the past few decades. Route 29 runs the valley and the creek sets the low ground.
Two kinds of roof, two kinds of inspection. On the old houses we read the flashing and the additions first. On the newer ones we look at the details a fast build compressed. Either way the scope is written down before work starts, and the roofing permit is issued by Perkiomen Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
No. Graterford is a village and a postal name inside Perkiomen Township, so the township’s code office issues roofing permits and handles inspections under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Collegeville and Schwenksville are separate boroughs with their own offices, which is a common point of confusion.
Usually yes. We match profile and color as closely as the current product line allows, and where the roof is slate or metal we repair in kind rather than mixing systems. On a stone house the flashing into the masonry matters more to the result than the shingle choice does.
It stays wet longer. Down in the creek valley the north slope sees less sun, holds fog and dew into the morning, and grows moss and algae because of it. That sustained moisture works on the shingle edges, so two slopes on one house can be a decade apart in condition.
Not necessarily wait, but do not panic either. Twenty-five years on an older three-tab is late. On a heavier architectural shingle it can be mid-life. We look at granule loss, the state of the flashing, and the deck from inside the attic, then give you the honest window.
