An eighteenth-century stone village on Germantown Pike, with a National Register district taking in more than fifty listed buildings.
Evansburg is the stone village strung along Germantown Pike near the Skippack Creek, and the state park to the east borrowed its name. The Evansburg Historic District was listed on the National Register in 1972 and takes in more than fifty properties from the early 1700s through the 1800s, most of them still lived in. The village straddles two municipalities, Skippack Township and Lower Providence Township.
Houses this old have been re-roofed several times over, and each round left something behind: furring over original decking, three layers at the eave, patched flashing at a fieldstone chimney. We open it up and tell you what is actually there. Roofing permits on the Skippack side are issued by Skippack Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Every prior re-roof on these buildings added a layer or a shim, and the true condition of the decking and the masonry flashing only shows itself at tear-off.
Multiple old roofs over original decking add weight and hide soft spots until removal.
Flashing into rubble masonry cannot simply be caulked; it has to be cut and set.
Long rear slopes on old houses run near minimum pitch and need an underlayment upgrade.
Skippack Township permits Skippack-side addresses; Lower Providence Township covers the rest of Evansburg.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
It depends on which side of the line your house sits. Evansburg spans Skippack Township and Lower Providence Township, and each issues its own permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We check the parcel first and file with the right office. Montgomery County does not issue residential roofing permits anywhere.
We regularly find two and sometimes three on village houses here, often with furring strips added between rounds to level things out. All of it comes off. Beyond the weight, layers hide the decking, and the decking on an eighteenth-century roof is the part that decides how the new work is fastened.
Usually, once the deck is sound and properly nailable. Architectural asphalt is the common system in this market and it works on these houses. If your building carried slate or cedar originally and you want that look back, we will price it honestly alongside asphalt rather than steering you one way.
It changes the attic more than the roof. Humidity off the Skippack Creek valley condenses on cold decking when ventilation is poor, and homeowners often read the result as a roof leak. We check intake at the eaves and exhaust at the ridge before assuming water is coming in from above.
