A US 1 crossroads in Penn Township where whole streets went up together, and whole streets are now coming due together.
Jennersville is the built-up crossroads where Route 796 meets US 1 in Penn Township, with the medical campus, the shopping and the newer residential streets that grew around them. Much of that housing went in during one stretch of building rather than over decades. That is convenient for a builder and awkward for a neighborhood, because the roofs all reach the end of their service life in the same few years.
We see the same original details failing house after house on those streets: thin valley work, pipe boots gone brittle, fastening at the minimum. If your community has an association, get its color and material rules in hand before you sign anything. The permit itself comes from Penn Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Nails placed at the spec minimum let wind lift shingles early on exposed streets.
Many communities here require sign-off on color and profile before work begins.
Penn Township issues the roofing permit and inspects the work under state code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Often, and they are separate. Penn Township issues the construction permit under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and inspects the work. An association, if you have one, controls what the roof looks like. We handle the township side and give you the product details your board will ask for.
Worth checking, because on a street built in one go the timing really is shared. Have someone look at your valleys, pipe boots and the granule cover before you decide. Some houses have three or four good years left, and there is no reason to spend early.
Yes, and that is the usual situation. Field shingles are the last part to go; flashing, boots, valleys and fastening go first, and none of that is visible from the driveway. We photograph what we find so you are looking at your own roof, not a sales pitch.
One day for most of these houses, two if the deck needs work or the weather turns. The dumpster comes the day before and leaves the day after. We sweep for nails at the end of each day. Call our Wayne office at (267) 692-2511 to schedule.
