The old Addisville crossroads on Second Street Pike, now a Northampton Township address where the permit counter is not where most homeowners look first.
Richboro started as Addisville, a crossroads village on Second Street Pike, and it kept the old name on the mailbox after development took the farmland around it. The houses run from a small pre-war core out into 1960s ranches and splits, then 1980s and 1990s colonials. What Richboro does not have is a government of its own.
That matters on paper more than on the roof, but it matters. Every inspection, permit and code question for a Richboro address is a Northampton Township matter. We scope the roof, quote the flashing and ventilation work honestly, and file the permit with Northampton Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Homeowners here often call the wrong office first, and that costs days on a job that could have started while the weather held.
Ranches, splits and colonials on the same street wear on different schedules.
Long low eaves on 1960s ranches are where meltwater backs up first.
Older splits often need intake added before a new shingle will last.
Richboro addresses permit through Northampton Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
No. Richboro is a census and postal name inside Northampton Township, so permits, inspections and code questions all go to Northampton Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We file it that way, which avoids the delay that comes from applying to the wrong office or assuming Bucks County handles it.
Common, but not harmless. A long, low ranch eave gives meltwater a lot of cold roof to refreeze on, and the ice that forms there can push water back under the shingles. Ice-and-water membrane across the lower courses and better attic ventilation are what actually reduce it.
Architectural asphalt in this climate generally runs twenty to thirty years, with freeze-thaw cycling and shade being the two things that pull it toward the short end. A roof that was installed over an old layer, or on a deck with no ventilation, ages faster than the warranty suggests. Age alone is not the test; condition is.
No, though someone being reachable by phone helps if we find something under the tear-off. Most single-family roofs in this area are a one or two day job. We protect landscaping and driveways, keep magnets over the lawn for nails, and walk the property with you at the end.
