Postwar streets either side of the Trevose station on the West Trenton Line, with 1950s ranches and capes now on their second or third roof.
Trevose grew along the old Reading rail line in Bensalem Township, and its SEPTA station on the West Trenton Line still marks the middle of it. The houses are mostly postwar: ranches, Cape Cods and modest two-stories on small lots, packed in between older commercial frontage along Street Road. Sixty-plus years in, most of these roofs are on their second or third covering.
On a roof that has been done twice, the interesting question is what the last crew left: reused flashing, a chimney sealed rather than counterflashed, layers never fully stripped. We tear off to the deck, fix what is underneath and detail the penetrations properly. Roof permits for Trevose addresses are issued by Bensalem Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Every previous re-roof on a postwar Trevose house adds a layer of decisions, and the ones that were skipped are usually the reason you are calling.
Old step and chimney flashing left in place is the most common shortcut.
Decades of layers and nail holes leave plank decking needing selective replacement.
Low, long eaves on 1950s houses back meltwater up in a cold snap.
Bensalem Township issues roof permits for Trevose under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Bensalem Township, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. The Trevose postal name reaches across more than one municipality, so the first step is confirming which one your parcel sits in. We do that before filing, because an application to the wrong code office costs more time than the permit itself takes.
We take everything off regardless. Even where a second layer would technically be allowed, it hides the decking and forces compromises at the flashing, and both shorten the life of the new roof. Full tear-off also means the underlayment and ice-and-water membrane sit where they are supposed to, directly on the deck.
That is algae, and it feeds on the limestone filler in older shingles while moisture holds it in place. It is cosmetic rather than structural, but it tends to mean the slope stays damp longer than it should. Cleaning helps for a while; algae-resistant shingles and better airflow are the lasting answer.
We document what we find with photographs and a written scope, which is what an adjuster needs to see. We do not tell homeowners what their policy covers, and we will not inflate a scope to make a claim work. If the damage is real, a clear report is the most useful thing we can give you.
