A small village on Route 263 with the New Hope Railroad line beside it. Most roofs here are already on their second or third covering.
Holicong is a village in Buckingham Township, strung along Route 263 with the New Hope Railroad line running past it and Holicong Road heading west. The village core is old, and the Holicong Village Historic District is listed on the National Register. Around it are farmhouses, mid-century houses on generous lots, and later homes on subdivided ground. Almost nothing here is on its original roof.
That matters more than people expect. A second or third re-roof usually means patched decking, reused flashing and layers that were added instead of removed. We take the roof back to bare deck so we can see all of it, replace soft sheathing, and install new flashing rather than bending the old back down. Buckingham Township issues the permit under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Old flashing bent back into place, sheathing patched with the wrong thickness, and layers left stacked are the three things we find most often on these houses.
Chimney and sidewall flashing carried over from an earlier job is a common leak source.
Mismatched sheathing thickness from past repairs telegraphs through new shingles as waves.
Two or three coverings add weight and hide whatever the deck is doing underneath.

Buckingham Township. Holicong is a village and a census place rather than its own municipality, so the application, the review and the final inspection all happen at the township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We file the paperwork as part of the job and arrange the inspection once the new roof is complete.
Being on the National Register is an honorary federal listing and does not by itself control what you put on your house. Local rules are separate, so we ask Buckingham Township what applies to your parcel before ordering material. If a like-for-like replacement is simplest, that is usually the path of least friction.
We would rather not, and on a house that has been layered once already we will not. Weight is one issue and blindness is the bigger one, because a layover hides rotten decking, failed flashing and old repairs. A full tear-off is the only version where we can show you what is actually wrong before covering it.
That pattern usually points at flashing rather than the shingles. Water blown sideways gets behind step flashing or under counterflashing that was surface-sealed instead of let into the mortar joint. We cut new counterflashing into the masonry and rebuild the step flashing course by course, which is what makes it hold in a nor’easter.
