Farmhouses and open fields between Blooming Glen and Deep Run. Roof work built for wind on exposed Hilltown ground.
Hilltown Township is upper Bucks farmland, crossed by Route 309, Route 113 and Route 152 and drained by Deep Run and the East Branch of the Perkiomen. Blooming Glen, Fair Hill, Leidytown and Unionville are small village clusters in a township that is otherwise fields and woodlots. Houses stand alone without the windbreak a subdivision provides, and many are farmhouses that have been re-roofed once or twice already.
On exposed roofs the edges matter most, so we focus on starter course, rake detail, nailing pattern and a sealed ridge before anything else. Older farmhouse roofs get checked for what previous work left behind. The roofing permit for a Hilltown address is issued by Hilltown Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Without neighboring houses to break it, wind lifts at rakes, ridges and the first shingle course, which is exactly where a cheap installation gives way.
Uplift starts at rake edges and ridges, so both need metal and fastening done right.
Steep farmhouse roofs often sit on spaced sheathing that needs decking before shingle.
Barns, garages and sheds here usually carry metal that we can repair rather than strip.

Correct installation matters more than the material. A well-fastened architectural shingle with a proper starter course and rake metal performs well on an exposed lot, and standing-seam metal is excellent but costs more. We look at the roof’s shape and exposure before recommending one over the other.
Yes, and rural does not mean exempt. Hilltown Township issues the roofing permit under the PA Uniform Construction Code, the same as any borough in the county, and Bucks County is not involved. We file the application, post the permit and are present for the inspection.
Often yes, and the barn is frequently the better candidate for repair rather than replacement. Metal outbuilding roofs commonly fail at fasteners, seams and edges while the panels themselves are sound. We inspect both structures and tell you honestly which needs work now and which can wait.
First we get the opening covered so the deck stays dry. Then we document what happened, because scattered loss across a slope usually means the nailing pattern or the seal strip failed rather than the shingle being overmatched. That documentation is what an insurer needs, and we provide it without inflating the claim.
