Nine thousand people in about one square mile, most of them in attached housing. On streets like these, one roof problem is rarely just one house’s problem.
Collingdale is a small, densely built borough off MacDade Boulevard, with much of its housing stock going back to the 1920s through the 1940s. Streets in Penn Pines and around Beacon Hill are rows and twins set close together, with short front porches and narrow rear yards. Whole blocks were framed as continuous runs, and the roofs above them still are.
So we plan block by block. Where your plane ends against the next house, we build the termination in metal rather than sealant, and we rebuild porch flashing instead of patching it one more time. Roofing permits are issued by Collingdale Borough itself under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and we submit the application.

When houses were framed as a continuous run, water that gets under one section travels, and a failing detail three doors down can show up in your ceiling.
The joint at your neighbor’s line has to be flashed, not caulked, to stop lateral leaks.
Short front porches sit at a shallow pitch and belong on membrane rather than shingles.
Narrow rear yards and close setbacks decide where material and debris can go.
Collingdale Borough issues and inspects the roofing permit, and we handle the filing.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Yes. Collingdale Borough is its own permitting authority under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, so the application and the inspection go through the borough office rather than Delaware County. We prepare the paperwork, post the permit at the property, and meet the inspector when the work is finished.
Yes, and that is most of what we do here. The work is in the termination: we finish your plane against theirs with metal flashing that sheds water in both directions. Done properly, your new roof does not create a problem for them and their older roof does not leak into yours.
Some, but it is manageable with planning. We agree in advance where the dumpster and the material go, tarp what needs protecting, and keep the debris path short. On Collingdale blocks there is usually one workable spot, so we settle access at the estimate, not on the morning of the tear-off.
Heat leaking into the attic melts snow on the field while the overhang stays freezing. The water refreezes at the edge and dams. Ice-and-water membrane along the eaves keeps that backup out of the house, and adding attic insulation and ventilation reduces the melting that starts it.
