The densest township in Delaware County, built out in row homes and twins between 1910 and 1940. Most of these roofs are not on their first covering.
Upper Darby filled in when the trolley did. Drexel Hill, Highland Park, Stonehurst, Bywood and Kirklyn went up in blocks between roughly 1910 and 1940, and the pattern repeats street after street: brick and stone twins, long rows, a covered front porch, a shallow rear addition. Roofs run continuously from one house into the next, which means a single failing detail rarely stays on one property.
We work these roofs one address at a time: architectural asphalt over sound decking, new ice-and-water at the eaves, flashing rebuilt where a twin meets its neighbor, and low-slope porch sections handled as their own system rather than an afterthought. Permits for a re-roof are issued by Upper Darby Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and we pull them.

Where two roofs meet at a party wall, the flashing and the last shingle course carry the load, and that is where water gets in first.
Metal and counterflashing where your roof plane ends against the house next door.
Front porch roofs need a membrane system, not shingles laid at a shallow pitch.
Ice builds at the gutter line on unvented attics and pushes water backward.

Yes. Roofing work is permitted by Upper Darby Township’s own code office under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, not by Delaware County. We file the application, post the permit, and meet the inspector on site. You do not need to take a day off work for it.
It often helps. On twins and rows the two roofs meet at a party wall, and doing both at once lets the flashing at that joint be built as one detail instead of two. If the timing does not work, we still tie into your neighbor’s existing roof properly.
Porch roofs are usually low slope, and shingles do not seal at that pitch. Water sits, finds the seam where the porch meets the wall, and runs in. The fix is a proper membrane, EPDM or TPO, with new flashing up the wall. It is a common repair here.
Age matters less than how many coverings are up there and what shape the decking is in. Many Upper Darby homes have been re-roofed twice, and a third layer is rarely a good idea. We tear off, look at the boards, and tell you what we actually find.
