Elkins Park, Wyncote and Melrose Park all sit inside one township. Roofing in Cheltenham, and one code office for the whole of it.
Cheltenham confuses people, and the mail is why. Elkins Park, Wyncote, Melrose Park, La Mott, Laverock and Cheltenham Village all have their own postal identity and their own character, from Tookany Creek estates to dense blocks of twins and rows. They are not separate municipalities. Every one of them is Cheltenham Township, and that matters the moment you want a roof permit.
We handle that part. The scope gets written first, then the permit goes in, then the crew works to what was filed. On prewar stock that usually means slate or cedar decisions, new flashing at party walls and chimneys, and honest talk about low-slope porch sections. Permits are issued by Cheltenham Township 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.
Where twins and rows share walls, the flashing between them carries more water than the shingles do, and one neighbor’s roof affects the next.
Shared walls between twins need metal that is replaced, not patched over again.
Front porch roofs sit too flat for shingles and want a membrane instead.
Mature street canopy drops leaves into valleys and gutters and keeps north slopes damp.
Cheltenham Township issues the permit, and the crew works to exactly what was filed.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

Cheltenham Township. Elkins Park, Wyncote, Melrose Park and La Mott are postal names, not municipalities, so the permit and the inspection both go through Cheltenham’s code office under the PA Uniform Construction Code. We file it for you, so the address confusion never becomes your problem.
Not properly. Shingles need pitch to shed water, and a porch or bay roof that shallow should be an EPDM or TPO membrane instead. We often run a membrane on the low section and architectural shingle on the main roof, with a proper transition between the two.
The shingles are yours, but the flashing at the shared wall is a joint problem in practice. If your neighbor re-roofed recently and that metal was reused, water can track back into your side. We look at both sides of the wall before quoting.
Sometimes. If the slate is hard and the fasteners are sound, repairing it and renewing the flashing is the cheaper long game. If it is soft, delaminating, or already half asphalt from a previous repair, a full architectural shingle system is the honest answer.
