Main Street is Route 63, the village is older than the county, and your permit depends on which side of a township line you sit on.
Harleysville grew at the crossing of Route 63 and Route 113, around a tavern built in the 1790s. The Klein Meetinghouse, Heckler Plains and the Mennonite Heritage Center are all still here. Most of the village sits in Lower Salford Township, but part of the Harleysville postal area reaches into Franconia Township. Housing runs from Pennsylvania Dutch farmhouses to the post-war and later developments that grew around them.
That split matters when it is time to work. We confirm the municipality from the parcel rather than the mailing address, then file with Lower Salford Township or Franconia Township, whichever actually has jurisdiction, under the PA Uniform Construction Code. Otherwise the work is what the houses need: deck checks on the old stock, flashing and ventilation on the newer.

Your parcel, not your mailing address, decides who issues the permit.
Older Main Street houses have pitches that need staging and careful fastening.
Tight lots mean protection, cleanup and dumpster placement get planned first.
We file with Lower Salford Township or Franconia Township, depending on the parcel.

Most likely Lower Salford Township, which contains the bulk of the village, though part of the Harleysville postal area is in Franconia Township. It matters because the roofing permit comes from whichever township your parcel sits in, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We check and file in the right place.
Yes, and it is usually the deck that decides the scope. Houses that age have board sheathing, old nails, and sometimes a layer of slate hiding under asphalt. We open it up carefully, replace bad boards, and put down a full modern system. That roof outlasts most of what else the money could buy.
Carefully, and with a plan for the sidewalk and the neighbors. On tight village lots we set up protection, keep the drop zone small, stage material so traffic is not blocked, and clean as we go rather than at the end. Route 63 does not stop for a roof, so the setup gets worked out first.
Not on its own. It becomes one when heat from the house melts the underside of that snow and the water refreezes at the eave, which is how ice dams form. The fix is attic ventilation and air sealing, backed by ice-and-water underlayment along the eaves when the roof is replaced.
