Two building eras on the same small borough streets. Roofing that treats a 1925 house and a 1955 house differently.
Norwood is a small borough on the rail line toward Wilmington, and its streets carry two distinct waves of building. There are 1910s and 1920s houses with steeper pitches, plank decking and full porches, and there are postwar blocks of shallow-pitch twins and ranchers. They sit a street apart and they fail in different ways.
The older houses usually need decking work, valley rebuilds and porch attention. The postwar houses usually need ventilation and careful low-slope detailing. We price what your house actually is instead of one number for the whole borough, and the permit goes through Norwood Borough under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

With Norwood Borough. Pennsylvania administers the Uniform Construction Code through municipalities, so the borough issues the permit and sends the inspector for a residential reroof. We file it, post it on site and close it out so nothing is left hanging after the crew leaves.
Not if the profile is chosen carefully. Architectural shingle in a darker, varied blend reads much closer to the original than a flat three-tab does, and the details matter more than the color: exposed edges, ridge treatment and how the porch roof is finished. We show you those choices before ordering.
It happens across this whole area most winters. Heat from the house melts snow on the upper roof, the water runs to the cold overhang and refreezes, and the ice ridge holds water back until it works under the shingles. Ice-and-water underlayment at the eaves and real attic airflow are the two fixes.
Age, the condition of the field and the number of problem spots decide it. One leak at a pipe boot on a ten-year-old roof is a repair; widespread granule loss with soft decking is not. We tell you which one you are looking at, and we are willing to do the smaller job when that is right.
