A Springfield Township village on the Wissahickon side, where late-forties and fifties developments like Chesney Downs make up much of the housing.
Erdenheim got its name in 1892, but the roofs that matter now went on after the war. Chesney Downs filled in between Glendalough, Avondale and Longfield roads in the late 1940s, and Holiday at Paper Mill Glen followed in 1955 around Harston, Fraser and Atwood roads. Capes, ranchers and split-levels, plenty of them with a low-slope addition tacked on later, sit under mature trees.
That mix means we price two things at once: the main asphalt field, and whatever is happening on the flat section over the kitchen or carport. Ventilation on these houses is often original and undersized, so we check intake at the soffit before we talk about shingles. Roof permits are issued by Springfield Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

When a street was built in one stretch its roofs age in one stretch too, and a neighbor’s tear-off is usually a fair warning about your own.
Soffit intake and ridge exhaust sized properly instead of left as built.
EPDM or metal where a shallow pitch was shingled by a previous owner.
Moss, algae streaking and needle debris on the north slopes under old trees.
Springfield Township issues the roofing permit, and we pull it before tear-off.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Not worried, but it is worth a look. Streets built in one push tend to need roofs in one push, so if the houses around you are at forty or fifty years and being replaced, yours sits in the same window. An inspection tells you whether you have a year or five.
Springfield Township. Erdenheim is a village inside Springfield Township, not a borough of its own, so the township’s code office handles the permit and the inspection under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We file it as part of the job, so you are not making the trip yourself.
Algae streaking is mostly cosmetic. Moss is not, because it holds water against the shingle and lifts the edges. On shaded slopes near the creek we clear it, look at what the trapped moisture has already done, and specify algae-resistant shingles with metal strip at the ridge on replacement.
No. Low-slope sections are their own system and can be replaced on their own schedule. What we do check is the joint where the flat meets the pitched roof and the wall above it, because that transition is where most of these leaks actually start.
