Wooded ridges above the Delaware, from Washington Crossing to Jericho Mountain. Big roofs under big trees, which is a maintenance problem before it is a roofing one.
Upper Makefield runs from River Road along the Delaware up over Jericho Mountain, and it is one of the most heavily wooded townships in Lower Bucks. Houses sit on large lots under mature canopy: 18th-century stone at Dolington and Brownsburg, and large modern homes with dormers, valleys and multiple roof planes. Pidcock and Houghs Creeks drain the middle of it.
Shade slows drying, and slow drying grows moss and rots valley metal from the top down. We clear and inspect valleys, check where debris dams behind chimneys and dormers, and specify algae-resistant shingle where the canopy is heaviest. Township work is permitted by Upper Makefield Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing for homes and townhomes across the area.
Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Leaf litter in valleys, limbs on the ridge and constant shade do more damage to a roof in this township than any single storm does.
Leaves pack into valleys, hold water and corrode metal long before shingles wear out.
North slopes under canopy stay wet, and moss lifts shingle edges as it grows.
Falling limbs bruise shingles in ways that only show up as leaks later.
Upper Makefield Township issues roof permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

You can slow it a great deal. Trimming back the limbs that hold shade over that slope helps most, and copper or zinc strips near the ridge discourage regrowth. On a replacement we specify algae-resistant shingles and make sure the deck breathes, because a cold, dry deck gives moss much less to work with.
Yes, and it comes from Upper Makefield Township, not Bucks County. Pennsylvania puts residential building permits with the municipality under the Uniform Construction Code. We apply, post the permit and coordinate inspection, and on a long private driveway we also confirm access and staging before the dumpster shows up.
It costs more in labor and flashing than a simple gable of the same square footage, and that is where the money should go. Valleys, dormer sidewalls, step flashing and kickouts are the places a complex roof leaks. We price those details openly rather than burying them in a square-foot number.
Stone houses in this township usually have steep slopes, thick walls and chimneys that need counterflashing cut into masonry rather than caulked against it. Slate and cedar both show up on that stock, and matching what is already there is often possible. We look first, then tell you what the roof actually needs.
