A rail-station neighborhood in southern Bensalem Township. Roofing for twins and attached rows where the roof plane crosses a party wall.
Cornwells Heights is the southern corner of Bensalem Township, built around the station that now serves both SEPTA’s Trenton Line and Amtrak trains. It is denser than most of Bensalem, with twins and attached rows on small lots near Bristol Pike alongside detached post-war singles. Much of it dates from the first half of the twentieth century, with infill through the 1950s and 1960s, and many of those roofs have been replaced once already.
Attached housing changes the work. Roof planes cross party walls, so the flashing and termination at the shared wall decide whether one owner’s new roof protects or endangers the next. We terminate each section to stand on its own. The permit is issued by Bensalem Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

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.

Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
On attached houses the party wall is the weak point, and a roof replaced on one side without proper termination puts water into the neighbor’s ceiling.
Every shared wall needs a termination that keeps one owner’s water out of another’s house.
Continuous gutters across several homes back up as a unit when one section clogs.
Most of these roofs have been redone once, leaving layered sections and reused flashing.

Bensalem Township. Cornwells Heights is a census place and a station name inside the township, so Bensalem reviews the application and inspects the finished roof under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Bristol Township and the boroughs further down Bristol Pike are separate jurisdictions with their own offices.
Yes. We cut and terminate at the party wall so your section is watertight independently and the neighboring roof is left intact and flashed. What we will not do is run new material over a shared wall without a proper termination, because that is how a leak becomes someone else’s problem.
Physically it is one system, so a blockage at the far end backs water up over everyone’s fascia. When we replace a roof on one unit we clear and check the full run and reset the section we are responsible for. Coordinating with the neighbors makes the whole run work properly.
Look at the rake edge and the drip edge for stacked layers, and check whether the shingles sit high against door and window trim. Inside, an attic view of the decking tells more. During an inspection we confirm it, because a second layer changes both the tear-off and what we expect to find underneath.
