Upper Darby Township’s older, denser blocks. Stone twins, Tudor detail and near-flat porch roofs, from Aronimink through Pilgrim Gardens and Garrettford.
Drexel Hill is part of Upper Darby Township, and it is tight: gridded streets, mature trees, and stone and brick twins and rows built mostly between the 1920s and the 1950s. Aronimink holds the larger stone colonials, while Pilgrim Gardens, Garrettford, Drexel Park and Drexel Park Gardens run to twins and rows. Tudor Revival detail is common. Almost every block has rear additions and full-width front porches with low-slope roofs on them.
That mix is the work: membrane or standing-seam metal where a roof is nearly flat, shingles where it is not, and new flashing where an addition meets old stone wall. Flashing at the party wall between twins gets rebuilt rather than sealed. Permits for Drexel Hill go through Upper Darby Township’s Licenses and Inspections office, and we close them out.

Porch roofs, rear additions and bay tops on these 1920s twins sit nearly flat, and shingles were never the right material for any of them.
EPDM or standing-seam metal replaces shingles that were laid too flat to shed water.
The seam between twins gets proper flashing and counterflashing, not a bead of tar.
Where an addition meets stone, we cut in counterflashing instead of sealing the surface.
Licenses and Inspections issues the township permit, and Delaware County issues none.

From Upper Darby Township. Drexel Hill is not its own municipality, so the permit for your address comes from the township’s Licenses and Inspections office under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. The county issues none. We file the application, schedule the inspection, and make sure the permit is closed before we leave.
Not if it is as flat as most Drexel Hill porch roofs. Below roughly a 2:12 pitch, shingles cannot shed water and wind-driven rain gets under them. An EPDM membrane or a standing-seam metal panel is the right call, tied into the main roof and counterflashed where it meets the stone wall.
Because that joint is one detail split between two houses. If the other contractor stopped short of the line or lapped the flashing the wrong way, water finds the seam. We open it up, rebuild the flashing across the party wall, and tie your new roof properly into what is already there.
Both answers happen on these blocks. An asphalt roof at 25 years with brittle shingles and worn valleys is finished. A twelve-year-old roof with one leak is usually a flashing or valley problem, which is a repair. We will tell you which it is, and we will not sell you a roof you do not need.
