Post-war capes and ranches built in a single stretch of years, inside Haverford Township. Roof replacement for Manoa.
Manoa filled in after the war, on the Haverford Township side of West Chester Pike. The housing is consistent in a way older parts of the township are not: capes with dormers cut into the slope, ranches with long shallow runs, garages tucked under, aluminum and vinyl over the original siding. The shopping center on the Pike has anchored the neighborhood since roughly the same period.
Houses built together tend to need roofs at the same time, and most of these are on their second or third. We check what the previous re-roof left: nailing, ventilation, whether the dormer flashing was ever redone. Roofing permits for Manoa are issued by Haverford Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Cape dormers put cheek walls, a small roof and step flashing in the middle of the main slope, and that cluster of details fails long before the shingle does.
Step flashing rebuilt where dormer walls cut through the main roof slope.
Knee-wall attics checked for airflow, since capes were rarely vented well.

Cape dormers are the weak point on this housing. The cheek walls, the small dormer roof and the step flashing where it meets the main slope are three separate details, and on a 1950s house they have often never been touched. That is usually a flashing rebuild rather than a full roof.
No. Manoa is a place name inside Haverford Township, so the roofing permit, the inspection and code enforcement all go through Haverford Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code. Havertown, Llanerch and Brookline are in the same position. We pull the permit ourselves.
It is, on a neighborhood built in one stretch. Roofs installed within a few years of each other come due within a few years of each other, and the second round is happening now. It is worth getting yours inspected rather than waiting for a leak to make the decision.
It does. A hot, poorly ventilated attic cooks the shingle from underneath and shortens its life, and in winter the same lack of airflow contributes to ice at the eaves. Capes with knee-wall attics are especially prone to it. We look at intake and exhaust together, not just the roof surface.
