A census name stitched from two New Britain Township developments, where a Chalfont mailing address sends homeowners to the wrong permit counter.
Brittany Farms-The Highlands is not a town. It is a census designation covering two adjoining residential developments in New Britain Township, west of Chalfont and south of Doylestown. The housing is late-twentieth-century suburban: two-story colonials, split entries and townhouse runs, mostly with simple gable and hip roofs. Mail here often reads Chalfont, New Britain or Doylestown depending on the street.
None of that changes the roof, but it changes the paperwork. Every permit, inspection and code question belongs to New Britain Township. We confirm the parcel, scope the roof on condition rather than age alone, and file with New Britain Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Most houses here have been re-roofed once already, so what matters is how well that job was done and what it left behind at the flashings.
The last re-roof usually explains any leak on a house of this age.
Older ridge vents leak at the fasteners long before the shingles give out.
Attached blocks need the whole roof planned together to avoid a new seam.

Not if your parcel is in New Britain Township, which covers Brittany Farms and The Highlands. Chalfont Borough only permits inside borough limits, and postal boundaries cross municipal ones freely here. We check the parcel’s municipality first and file with New Britain Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
Fifteen years is early for a shingle to fail, so the cause is usually something that was not replaced last time. Reused flashing, a skipped kickout, an old pipe boot or a ridge vent fastened through without sealing are the common ones. A targeted repair often solves it, and we say so when that is the case.
Nor’easters and summer thunderstorms both lift shingles, usually at the rake edges and the ridge where uplift is highest. Damage often looks minor from the ground while the sealant bond has broken across a wider area, which lets the next storm take more. We check bond and fastening rather than only counting missing shingles.
That depends on which development and which section you are in, and some streets here have covenants while others do not. Check your deed or settlement papers for an association, and if there is one, ask what shingle colors and profiles are approved before you choose. We quote to whatever specification applies.
