Barely a fifth of a square mile of rows and twins, incorporated in 1911. Roof replacement permitted by the borough itself.
East Lansdowne is one of the densest municipalities in Pennsylvania: about 2,700 people in a fifth of a square mile. The borough incorporated in 1911, and the building that followed was rows and twins along Pembroke Avenue, Church Lane and the streets between. Roofs run continuously from one house to the next, broken only by party walls and the occasional flat rear addition. Almost nothing here is post-war.
On attached housing the party wall is the detail that decides everything. We flash and terminate at the wall properly rather than running material past it, and we talk to the neighbor when the work needs to cross. Roofing permits in East Lansdowne are issued by the borough under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Water crossing a party wall shows up in the house next door, so terminations, cap flashing and the transition between two different roof ages all have to be right.
Terminations and cap flashing handled where your roof meets the neighbor’s.
Membrane rather than shingle on the low-slope additions behind the house.
Debris, ladders and parking managed on streets with no side yards.

Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
That is the party wall, and it is the most common leak on attached housing. Either the cap flashing on the wall has failed or one roof was run past the wall instead of terminated at it. The fix is rebuilding that detail properly, and sometimes it needs coordinating with your neighbor.
East Lansdowne Borough does. It is a municipality of its own, separate from Lansdowne Borough next door, and it enforces the PA Uniform Construction Code for roofing work. Getting the wrong borough on the paperwork wastes a week. We confirm the municipality and file it ourselves.
Yes. We terminate cleanly at the party wall and flash the edge so it protects your side regardless of what happens next door. It costs a little more than doing both at once, which is why neighbors sometimes coordinate, but there is no requirement to wait.
We handle it. Depending on the block we use a smaller container, stage on the street with the borough’s knowledge, or load directly to the truck. Tarps go down over walkways and steps, and we sweep and run a magnet over the sidewalk before we leave.
