A half-square-mile borough in the Upper Perkiomen Valley, with tight lots and shared walls. Roof work planned for close quarters.
East Greenville became a borough in 1875 and still fits inside about half a square mile, which makes it one of the denser places in Montgomery County. Main Street runs its length, Route 29 ties it to Pennsburg and Red Hill, and Knoll has built furniture here since 1950. The housing is mostly pre-war: twins, short rows and close-set singles with steep front pitches and low-slope rear porch roofs.
Close quarters change the job more than the shingle does. Where roofs meet at a party wall, the termination and counterflashing decide whether your neighbor takes on water. Low-slope porch and kitchen additions need a membrane rather than shingles. Roofing permits are issued by East Greenville Borough under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Borough houses pair a steep street-facing slope with a low-slope rear addition, and the two systems have to be joined properly where they meet.
Porch and kitchen roofs below three in twelve need EPDM or TPO, not asphalt shingles.
Where two houses share a wall, the termination detail decides which side takes on water.
Old brick stacks on twins leak at the mortar joint long before the roof field fails.

Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
From East Greenville Borough. The borough is its own municipality and administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code for properties inside its lines, so neither Upper Hanover Township nor Montgomery County is involved. We file the paperwork, post it, and arrange the inspection at the right point in the job.
It probably has shingles on it. Anything under about a three in twelve pitch needs a single-ply membrane such as EPDM or TPO, with the seams welded or bonded and the edge terminated into the wall above. Shingles on that pitch will keep leaking no matter how many times they are replaced.
Not if the party wall detail is done right. We terminate and counterflash at the shared wall so the new work sheds water onto your side and leaves a clean edge for their eventual replacement. We also keep tear-off contained, which matters when the two roofs are effectively one plane.
Yes, with conditions. Asphalt shingles need enough warmth to seal, so in a cold stretch we hand-seal courses where exposure demands it and time the tear-off to the day. Low-slope membrane work has its own temperature limits. If waiting a few weeks gives a better roof, we will tell you to wait.
