A mill town stacked up a hillside above the Schuylkill, with frame and brick houses on steep, narrow streets off Fayette.
Conshohocken is a square mile of borough on the Schuylkill, built for the mills, the canal and the railroad. The streets climb hard away from the river, and Fayette Street runs the spine of it. Most of the older housing is frame and brick, set close together, with front porches and rear additions layered on over a century. The newer riverfront buildings sit below all of it.
Steep, narrow streets change how a roof gets replaced: where the truck parks, how material goes up, how the neighbors are protected. The roofs themselves are usually small, steep main runs with low-slope porch and addition sections that need membrane. Roof permits in Conshohocken are issued by Conshohocken Borough under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

The main roof on these houses sheds fast, but the flat porch and rear addition sections behind it are where almost every leak starts.
Low-slope sections behind the main roof need membrane, not shingle.
Shared walls need flashing and counterflashing carried across both sides.
Parking, staging and cleanup get worked out before the first shingle moves.
Conshohocken Borough issues the roofing permit for the borough, not the county.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Yes. Conshohocken Borough issues residential roofing permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Montgomery County does not, and neither does Plymouth or Whitemarsh unless your parcel is actually in one of them, which happens just past the borough line. We check the parcel and file with the right office.
Because it is shingled, most likely, and shingles need pitch to work. On a near-flat rear section water stands long enough to find a lap or work back under a nail. A single-ply membrane with the flashing carried up the house wall above it is the correct system for that part of the roof.
We do it regularly. It means a smaller dumpster or a dump trailer, careful parking, and loading out in stages instead of all at once. We tarp neighboring walls and walkways, keep the sidewalk usable, and clean the street as well as the property. The logistics get planned before the tear-off starts.
It helps with drainage, since water leaves quickly and ice has less chance to build. It costs more in labor, because steep pitch means staging and roof jacks instead of walking. The weak points on these houses are almost never the steep main run; they are the porch, the addition and the party wall.
