Laid out in 1871 around a dammed lake on Little Crum Creek. Roofing for Ridley Park’s Victorian rooflines and deep porches.
Ridley Park was laid out in 1871 by a railroad company that hired landscape architect Robert Morris Copeland to plan curving streets around a twenty-acre lake dammed on Little Crum Creek. The oldest houses show it: tall, steep, complicated roofs with dormers, turrets, cross gables and wrap porches. Later blocks filled in through the 1920s and after the war.
Complicated roofs fail at the joints, not in the field. We spend the time on valleys, dormer cheeks, turret transitions and the flat porch decks that hang off the front. Roofing permits in the borough are issued by Ridley Park Borough under the PA Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing for homes and townhomes across the area.
Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Dormers, turrets, cross gables and porch decks multiply the number of transitions, and nearly every leak on a house like this starts at one of them.
Curved and faceted sections need cut shingle or metal, fitted rather than forced.
Open metal or closed-cut valleys rebuilt to carry the volume these roofs collect.
Original slate fields and standing-seam porch roofs assessed separately from the asphalt sections.
Ridley Park Borough issues roofing permits under the PA Uniform Construction Code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Yes. Roof replacement in the borough is permitted and inspected by Ridley Park Borough under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, not by Delaware County. We handle the application and the inspection scheduling so the job does not stall halfway through.
Yes, with hand-cut shingles laid in narrowing courses, or with metal if the radius is tight. It is slow work and it is the part of the job where quality shows most. If the turret currently wears slate or metal, we will tell you honestly whether keeping it is the better option.
Usually it is the dormer flashing rather than the shingles. The cheek walls, the head of the window and the point where the dormer roof meets the main slope all need layered flashing, and one skipped piece shows up as an interior stain. A nor’easter driving rain sideways finds it first.
Longer than a simple gable. A Victorian roof with dormers, a turret and porch decks is several roofs stitched together, so plan on more days than a neighbor with a plain ranch. We give you a realistic schedule up front instead of a number that slips.
