Haverford Township’s stone and brick twins run block after block, from Brookline and Llanerch to Manoa and Oakmont. We roof them one detail at a time.
Havertown is not a borough. It is Haverford Township, and it filled in from farmland between the wars: Llanerch first, then Brookline Manor’s grid off the boulevard, then the brick tract blocks of Beechwood, Chatham Park and Manoa after 1945. Bon Air, Penfield, Coopertown and Oakmont carry the bigger stone colonials. Most of it is twins and colonials in stone and brick, with steep pitches, dormers, deep valleys and porch roofs that were never full slope.
Twins mean shared walls, and shared walls mean the party wall flashing matters as much as the shingles. We rebuild valleys, step flashing and chimney counterflashing, run ice-and-water at eaves and valleys, and put membrane or standing-seam metal on low-slope porches and rear additions. Haverford Township’s historical commission reviews work on listed resources. Permits come from the township, not the county.

Where two houses meet, and where a porch roof meets the main wall, is where Havertown roofs leak long before the shingle field wears out.
Where two twins meet, flashing and counterflashing get rebuilt rather than sealed over.
Low-slope porches take membrane or standing-seam metal, which is how they should have been built.
Attic ventilation and insulation first, then ice-and-water membrane along every eave and valley.
Haverford Township issues the permit under the state code, and we close it out.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

Yes, and it comes from Haverford Township, not Delaware County. Pennsylvania handles residential roofing permits at the municipal level under the Uniform Construction Code, so the township takes the application and sends the inspector. We pull it under our own license and insurance, and we close it out when the work passes.
You can, and most people do. The joint is what matters: flashing at the party wall has to be lapped and terminated properly, and a new roof that simply stops short at the line is a leak waiting to happen. Doing both houses at once costs less each and gives one continuous detail across the seam.
Heat escaping into the attic melts snow up high, the melt refreezes at the cold eave, and water backs up under the shingles. Attics in these 1920s to 1950s twins are often under-vented and under-insulated. We look at ventilation and air sealing first, then run ice-and-water membrane at the eaves on replacement.
Probably not, but it is worth checking. Haverford Township keeps a survey of historic resources and a historical commission that reviews permit applications affecting listed properties, so an older stone house can draw an extra look at exterior work. We check your address before we quote, and for most Havertown twins the answer is no.
