A Pennridge borough of steep-pitched Victorians, deep front porches and slate that has outlived its fasteners, with Lenape Park at the bottom of the hill.
Perkasie built up tight around the rail line and the East Branch Perkiomen Creek, and it absorbed South Perkasie in 1960. The result is a borough of steep-pitched frame and brick houses with full-width front porches, plus the flat or nearly flat porch roofs that came with them. Some original slate is still up there, held by nails that gave out before the stone did.
Two roofs on one house means two systems. The steep field takes architectural asphalt or matched slate repair; the porch and bay sections take EPDM, TPO or standing-seam metal with a proper transition where they tie in. Roof permits in the borough are issued by Perkasie Borough under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

The low-slope section over a Perkasie front porch sees standing water, ponding at the wall and a seam that nobody looks at until the ceiling inside stains.
EPDM or TPO over porches and bays where asphalt shingle cannot shed water.
Sound slate can be repaired; failed nailing across a whole slope usually cannot.

Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Because they are different roofs. A porch or bay roof is close to flat, so it needs a membrane such as EPDM or TPO and a flashed transition where it meets the wall above. Shingles on that slope hold water at the seams, and replacing the porch section on its own is often the right call.
It depends on how the slate is failing. If individual slates have slipped and the rest is sound, targeted repair keeps the roof original and costs less. If the nails have corroded across whole slopes, repair becomes endless and a full system change makes more sense, and we will tell you which one you have.
Perkasie Borough does, through its own code office under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Bucks County is not involved in residential roof permits anywhere in Pennsylvania. We handle the application and the inspection scheduling as part of the contract, and we work to the borough’s requirements rather than around them.
Those dark streaks are algae and the green is usually moss, both fed by shade and slow drying on north-facing slopes. Moss is the one that matters, because it lifts shingle edges and holds water against the mat. Algae-resistant shingles and a clean, ventilated deck keep it from coming back quickly.
