Streetcar-era twins with deep front porches, from Easton Road to the Keswick. The porch roof usually fails before the main slope does.
Glenside grew up around its railroad station in the first thirty years of the twentieth century, and the housing shows it: brick and stucco twins, deep front porches, steep main slopes and small dormers. The Keswick Theatre and Arcadia University’s Grey Towers sit at the center of it. Most Glenside addresses are in Abington Township, though the eastern edge falls in Cheltenham Township.
The steep slopes above are usually the easy part. The nearly flat porch and bay roofs below them are where we spend our attention, with membrane or standing seam and flashing rebuilt where it ties into the wall. Permits come from Abington Township, or Cheltenham Township if your address sits on that side of the line.

Both, depending on the street. Glenside is a postal and census name that straddles the two, so the first thing we confirm is which township your parcel sits in, because that is the office that issues the roof permit under the PA Uniform Construction Code. Your tax bill settles it quickly.
Very common on these houses. Low-slope porch and bay roofs cannot shed water the way a steep slope does, and the flashing where they meet the wall is often the actual failure point. They are usually replaced separately, with membrane or metal rather than shingle.
Sometimes. If the slate itself is sound and the problem is nails, valleys or chimney flashing, targeted repair is the right call and it is cheaper. When the field is delaminating broadly, patching becomes throwing money at it, and we will say so before you spend it.
Algae and moss on the shaded north or east slope, fed by damp shade from mature street trees. It is mostly cosmetic early on, but moss lifts shingle edges and holds water. Algae-resistant shingles and cutting back overhanging limbs keep it from coming straight back.
