Chartered in 1681, with row houses, slate and a Historical Architectural Review Board. Roof work that respects the code and the district.
Bristol Borough is the third-oldest borough in Pennsylvania, chartered in 1681 and still operating under that charter. Its housing runs from colonial and Federal along Radcliffe Street, through the Mill Street commercial blocks, to the Harriman neighborhood built for World War I shipyard workers and annexed in 1922. Slate, low-slope flat roofs behind parapets, and long runs of attached houses are all normal here rather than exceptional.
Bristol Borough maintains a Historical Architectural Review Board, so work in its historic districts can require review of visible materials before it proceeds. We plan for that step instead of discovering it late. The roofing permit itself is issued by Bristol Borough under the PA Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
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.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Colonial, Victorian and shipyard-era houses sit side by side, so material, pitch and the right repair differ from one block to the next.
Inside the borough’s historic districts, visible roof material may require HARB review first.
Steep slate fronts with flat rear sections need two different systems on one house.
Attached houses share roof planes, so edges at the party wall have to be detailed carefully.
Bristol Borough issues the roofing permit, and it is a separate municipality from Bristol Township.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

Possibly, since Bristol Borough has a Historical Architectural Review Board and properties inside its historic districts can need review where the change is visible from the street. The construction permit still comes from Bristol Borough under the PA Uniform Construction Code. We check your address against both requirements before quoting.
They are two separate municipalities with separate offices, and mail and directions confuse them constantly. The borough is the older river settlement around Mill and Radcliffe Streets; the township wraps around it and includes Croydon and part of Levittown. We confirm which one your parcel is in before filing a permit.
Yes, and it is a common arrangement here. The steep front may be repairable slate, while the flat rear section behind the parapet needs a membrane such as EPDM or TPO. They are two systems with one critical junction between them, and that junction is where we spend the most attention.
Drainage, almost always. Scuppers and internal drains clog, water stands against the parapet wall, and the flashing at that wall is where it eventually gets through. A new membrane alone does not fix a drainage problem, so we look at how water is meant to leave the roof before specifying anything.
