A small borough with its own code office, sitting in a tight row of Delaware County boroughs. Roofing for its frame twins and porches.
Prospect Park covers about a square mile between Norwood, Ridley Park and Ridley Township, and it runs its own government inside those lines. The housing is mostly early twentieth century: frame and stucco twins, detached houses with full front porches, and modest postwar infill. Lots are small and the street trees are old.
Because each borough here runs its own code office, the paperwork is local even when the block looks identical to the one across the line. We file with Prospect Park Borough under the PA Uniform Construction Code, and we quote the roof in front of us rather than a generic Delaware County reroof.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.

Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Early twentieth-century framing, narrow side yards and shallow porch roofs set the work here, and the borough signs off on it rather than any county office.
Board sheathing from the period needs different fastening than modern plywood or OSB.
Nearly flat porch roofs re-covered with membrane and tied properly into the wall.
Drip edge and gutter alignment reset so water clears these narrow side yards.
The roofing permit comes from Prospect Park Borough, not from Delaware County.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
No. Prospect Park Borough and Ridley Township each administer the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code inside their own boundaries, so the office, the forms and the inspector can differ on opposite sides of a street. We confirm which municipality a property sits in before filing anything.
Not by itself. Plank sheathing is normal in houses of this age and it holds fasteners fine when it is sound, but gaps between boards and old nail holes change how we nail and where we add underlayment. Where boards are split or soft we replace them during tear-off.
Often the roof is fine and the edge detail is not. Without proper drip edge, water can wick behind the gutter and rot the fascia over a few winters, and an old gutter hung slightly high does the same thing. We reset the edge metal as part of the reroof and check the pitch of the gutter run.
Yes. Porch decks in this borough often need attention years before the main roof does, and replacing one is a sensible standalone job. We use a membrane suited to the low slope and rebuild the flashing where the porch meets the house wall, which is where these leaks almost always begin.
