Route 113 farm country in Hilltown Township, where standing seam and corrugated metal on houses and barns is completely normal.
Blooming Glen sits where Route 113 meets Blooming Glen Road in Hilltown Township, in the upper Bucks farm country between Perkasie and the Deep Run valley. It was called Moyers Store before the post office renamed it in the 1870s. The place is still largely agricultural: farmhouses, working barns, outbuildings and newer houses on subdivided parcels. Metal roofing is ordinary here in a way it is not in the lower county, on barns and on plenty of houses too.
That means half the roofs we look at are not asphalt. Standing seam has to be allowed to expand and contract, corrugated panels fail at the fastener washers long before the steel goes, and the joint between a metal porch roof and a shingled slope has to be flashed. Hilltown Township issues the permit under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Metal moves with temperature and fails at its fasteners rather than its surface, so it calls for different fixing and different flashing than shingle.
Exposed-fastener panels leak at dried-out washers decades before the steel itself fails.
Standing seam expands along its length, so fixed eave fastening tears itself loose.
Where a metal porch meets asphalt, the transition needs flashing rather than sealant.

Often repairing, at least for a while. On exposed-fastener panels the usual failure is the neoprene washers under the screws drying out and letting water track down the threads. Replacing fasteners and resealing seams can buy years. Once the panels are perforated with rust along the laps, replacement is the sensible move.
It is a legitimate house roof and it lasts far longer than asphalt, at a higher up-front cost. Standing seam with concealed clips is the version worth having, because there are no exposed fasteners to fail. Whether it suits your house depends on pitch, the complexity of the roof and how many penetrations it has.
Hilltown Township. Blooming Glen is an unincorporated village within the township, so the township is the permitting authority under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and inspects the completed work. There is no county permit for residential roofing. We prepare and file the application as part of the job.
Yes, and it is common out here. A low-slope porch or ell in standing seam with architectural shingle on the steep main slopes is often the right combination. The whole thing depends on the joint between them, which needs a proper flashed transition that lets the metal move without opening a gap.
