An old village around the Reformed Dutch Church and the former station, now ringed by 1950s and 1960s houses and the woods along Churchville Reservoir.
Churchville kept its historic core, including the old church and the former train station, while the ground around it filled with ranches, split levels and Cape Cods through the 1950s and 1960s. The reservoir and the wooded land beside it put a lot of the neighborhood under canopy. Roofs here are typically on their second covering, with a first replacement done somewhere in the 1980s or 1990s.
On a mid-century house the roof is simple and the details are where it goes wrong: a chimney with tired counterflashing, a low addition tied into a wall, a bathroom fan vented into the attic. We fix those as part of the replacement rather than roofing over them. The permit is issued by Northampton Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

A 1960s Churchville ranch rarely has a complicated roof, but the chimney flashing, the bath fan and the addition tie-in have usually been left alone for decades.
Masonry chimneys on mid-century houses are the most common leak point we find.
Fans dumping moist air into the attic rot decking from the inside out.
Trees along the reservoir drop enough litter to keep valleys damp year-round.
Churchville permits through Northampton Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Yes, and Northampton Township issues it. Churchville is a village and census place inside the township, so there is no separate Churchville office. Pennsylvania puts residential building permits with the municipality under the Uniform Construction Code, and we file and post it and schedule any inspection as part of the job.
It means warm, moist air is reaching the cold deck, and when it thaws it drips and looks exactly like a roof leak. The usual causes are a bath fan venting into the attic, gaps around recessed lights, and not enough intake and exhaust ventilation. Fixing that during a re-roof protects the new shingles as well as the decking.
A few things show from the ground: whether there is a visible drip edge, whether the ridge runs straight, and whether flashing at the chimney looks set into the masonry or smeared with tar. From the attic you can check for daylight at the eaves and stains around penetrations. We walk through what we find rather than just handing over a price.
We do not recommend it. A second layer hides whatever the decking is doing, adds weight, and makes flashing details harder to do correctly, which shortens the life of the new roof. Tear-off also lets us see and replace bad boards, and the saving on a layover is small next to what it costs you later.
