A Route 263 crossroads sitting close to the Buckingham and Doylestown township line. Roof work for Furlong’s subdivision-era homes and older stone stock.
Furlong is a postal name, not a municipality. It sits where Route 263 crosses Edison-Furlong Road and Forest Grove Road, and the boundary between Buckingham Township and Doylestown Township runs close enough that two neighbors can answer to different municipal offices. The housing reflects that spread: a few old stone and frame houses at the crossroads, then thirty years of subdivision behind them, most built between the mid 1980s and the early 2000s.
Those subdivision roofs are now twenty-five to forty years old, and they fail at the valleys and the fastener line before the open field of a slope goes. We strip to the deck, correct what the original crew rushed, and rebuild the eaves with ice-and-water underlayment. We confirm the municipality first, because most Furlong addresses permit through Buckingham Township.

When a development goes up in two or three years, its roofs wear out on the same schedule, which is why whole streets here need work at once.
Valleys cut fast during a 1990s build are usually the first place water gets through.
Nails driven at the spec minimum start backing out as the deck moves and dries.
Tight overhangs on colonial fronts give meltwater nowhere to go but the wall.
Most Furlong addresses permit through Buckingham Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

Furlong is not a municipality, so there is no Furlong permit office. Most Furlong addresses sit in Buckingham Township, and some near the western edge fall in Doylestown Township, so we confirm which one applies before filing. The permit is issued under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and the township inspects the finished roof.
Looking fine from the driveway is not much of a test at that age. We check the valleys, the flashing and the shingle edges up close, and we look at the underside of the deck from inside the attic. Plenty of roofs that age have a few good years left, and plenty are already leaking somewhere you cannot see.
Not really. The development went up over a short span, so the original roofs all started aging at the same time and reach the end of their service life within a few years of each other. It is worth having yours looked at once neighbors start replacing theirs.
Often not exactly, because the builder-grade line has usually been discontinued. We can get close on color and usually better on quality, since most builder shingles were the cheapest option available at the time. If only one slope is being replaced we bring samples out and lay them on the roof before you decide.
