A small village sitting on the Bucks and Montgomery county line, where the first question on any job is which township you are in.
Line Lexington takes its name from the line it sits on. The village straddles the Bucks and Montgomery county boundary near Route 309, and on the Bucks side it falls in Hilltown Township. Houses a few hundred feet apart can sit in different townships and different counties, which is confusing for homeowners and occasionally for contractors. The stock is a mix: older village houses close to the road, farm properties around them, and newer homes filling former fields.
We start every job here by establishing the municipality from the parcel rather than the mailing address, because that determines who reviews and inspects the work. On the Bucks side that is Hilltown Township, under the PA Uniform Construction Code. Once settled, the work is straightforward: tear off to the deck, correct the sheathing, new flashing, proper ventilation.

Whichever municipality your parcel actually sits in, which we confirm from the property record before filing. On the Bucks County side of Line Lexington that is Hilltown Township, working under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Neither county issues residential roof permits, so the township office is always the right place to start.
Often not. On an older house the chimney flashing is usually the failure, and rebuilding it is a contained job: cut new counterflashing into a mortar joint, reset the step flashing into the shingle courses, and remove the old sealant rather than adding more. If the surrounding shingles are sound, that can be the whole repair.
Yes. Our Wayne office covers Montgomery, Delaware, Chester and Bucks counties in Pennsylvania, so a village sitting on the line is not a complication for us. What we do need to establish is the township, because that is where the permit and the inspection happen regardless of which county you are in.
It matters for what we find once the roof is off. A century-old house has plank sheathing and hand-cut framing, while a 1990s build has plywood and trusses, and each needs different fastening and detailing. We quote from what your house actually is, not from what the street looks like from the curb.
