A small village beside the New Hope Railroad line, split between Wrightstown and Buckingham townships and barely changed since the 1800s.
Wycombe grew up around a stop on the rail line that now carries the New Hope Railroad, and it never grew much beyond that. The Wycombe Village Historic District is on the National Register. A short run of nineteenth century houses sits close to the road and close to each other, with Mill Creek nearby and farm ground on every side. The village line falls across two municipalities, so Wrightstown Township and Buckingham Township each hold part of it.
Small village houses need plain, careful work. Steep pitches, narrow lots, masonry chimneys and rear additions at a shallower slope are the conditions. We flash into the masonry, use metal where the pitch is too low for shingle, and keep the site tight. Your permit comes from whichever township holds your parcel, under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Narrow lots and shared property lines mean short setbacks, awkward access to back slopes, and chimneys that sit right at a roof-to-wall junction.
Masonry chimneys on old village houses leak at the flashing long before the shingles fail.
Back kitchens and sheds sit at a pitch too low for asphalt shingle to work.
Narrow side yards limit where ladders, lifts and the dumpster can actually go.
Wycombe spans Wrightstown and Buckingham townships, and your parcel decides which files.

It depends on the parcel, because the village sits across the line between the two townships. We confirm it from the property record before filing anything. Whichever one it is, that township issues the roof permit under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and inspects the finished work, and Bucks County is not involved.
With the flashing, almost always. On an old masonry chimney the counterflashing has to be cut into a mortar joint and the step flashing woven into the shingle courses. Surface sealant on stone or old brick fails within a few seasons. Rebuilding that detail properly usually solves it without touching the rest of the roof.
Below roughly three in twelve, asphalt shingles are not the right product no matter how well they are installed. Those rear additions are better served by a membrane or standing-seam metal, tied into the main roof with a flashed transition. It costs more per square foot and it stops the recurring leak.
There is noise for a day and we try to keep everything else contained. We set protection along the property line, keep debris from falling into the neighboring yard, and place the dumpster where it does not block anyone. Letting the neighbors know the date beforehand does more good than anything else we can do.
