Under a thousand residents in 1950 and eleven thousand now, which makes Westtown a township of comparatively young roofs.
Westtown was farmland and orchards long after its neighbors had suburbanized. It held fewer than a thousand residents through 1950, and nearly everything residential arrived afterwards, much of it since the 1970s: South Hills, Westmount, Rollinwood, Sycamore Springs and the rest. Westtown School and a handful of Quaker era stone houses are the older exceptions.
Young stock does not mean trouble-free stock. Thirty and forty year old roofs are on their first or second replacement, and the failures are usually at the details rather than in the field. We inspect, report what we find, and replace the flashing and underlayment properly. Westtown Township issues the roofing permit under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

From Westtown Township. Pennsylvania handles construction permits at the municipal level under the Uniform Construction Code, so the township issues the permit and inspects the completed roof, and the county plays no part. We file it, post it and schedule the inspection as part of the job.
Get it looked at before you file anything. Wind and hail damage on asphalt often shows as creased tabs, bruised mat and dented soft metals rather than missing shingles, and it is easy to miss from the ground. We inspect, photograph what we find and give you a written scope you can use.
Very likely. An original asphalt roof from the mid eighties has outlived its underlayment, and the flashing and boots from that build are long past their service life. Whether it is due this year depends on the inspection, but planning for it now is cheaper than reacting to a leak.
It is the right time to do it. A skylight installed decades ago sits on a curb and flashing kit that has aged with the roof, and leaving it in place under new shingles is the most common way a new roof leaks. We price replacement alongside the roof so you can decide.
