Across the Schuylkill from Phoenixville but firmly in Upper Providence Township, with Lock 60 and the canal towpath at the edge of the village.
Mont Clare was Quincyville until the 1840s and grew up around Lock 60 on the Schuylkill Canal. It faces Phoenixville across the river and shares much of that town’s mail and habits, but the Schuylkill is a county line and a municipal line both. Mont Clare is in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County. The housing is close-packed older river-town stock with newer building behind it.
That distinction matters the moment you need a permit, and homeowners here get it wrong often. We file with the right office, and we roof the houses for what they are: steep older planes, plenty of chimneys, and additions that need flashing of their own. The roofing permit is issued by Upper Providence Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Sitting low against the Schuylkill, these roofs get channeled wind off the water and hard freeze-thaw at the gutter line through the whole winter.

Counterflashing set into the mortar joint on older brick stacks.
Ridge, hip and rake fastening checked where the valley funnels gusts.
Upper Providence Township, not Phoenixville, issues and inspects your roofing permit.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
No, and this catches people out. Phoenixville is a borough in Chester County on the other side of the river. Mont Clare is in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County, so that township’s code office issues the permit and inspects the work under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
That is the signature of an ice dam rather than a hole in the roof. Meltwater refreezes at the cold eave, backs up under the shingles, and finds the first gap. Ventilation and insulation reduce the melt, and ice-and-water membrane at the eaves stops the water that does back up.
They take longer, mostly because of access and the number of transitions. Tight frontage means careful staging, and a nineteenth-century house has more chimneys, dormers and added-on wings per square of roof than a newer one does. None of it is exotic. It just cannot be rushed.
Architectural asphalt for the main pitched planes, with ice-and-water at the eaves and valleys and new metal at every wall and chimney. Shallow porch or rear sections get EPDM or standing-seam metal. If the house still has sound slate, we will say so rather than sell you a tear-off.
