A half-square-mile borough sitting inside Lower Merion Township, with its own code office and square blocks of Victorian twins.
Narberth is an enclave. Lower Merion Township surrounds it completely, the children go to Lower Merion schools, and the train stops on the Paoli/Thorndale Line, but the borough governs itself. That distinction matters when you re-roof. The housing is Main Line Victorian and early twentieth century, with square blocks of twins and detached frame houses, steep roofs, turrets, dormers and porches.
Those rooflines are all angles, and angles are where roofs leak. We rebuild valleys, step flashing and dormer sidewalls rather than patching over them, and we keep porch and bay roofs on metal or membrane. Roofing permits come through Narberth Borough, not Lower Merion Township, under the PA Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing for homes and townhomes across the area.
Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Turrets, dormers, cross gables and porch returns mean a Narberth roof is mostly transitions, and almost every leak traces to one of them rather than the shingle.
Cross gables funnel water into valleys that need new metal, not a shingle-over.
Step flashing behind dormer cheeks is the most common hidden failure on these houses.
Low-slope porches and curved bay roofs belong on metal or membrane, not shingle.
Narberth issues its own roofing permits even though Lower Merion surrounds the borough.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Narberth Borough. It is an independent municipality with its own code enforcement, so roofing permits and inspections are the borough’s, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Neighboring Lower Merion Township handles addresses on its side of the line. We confirm which applies before filing anything.
Yes. Conical and curved sections take either metal panels cut to the radius or shingle laid in narrow courses, depending on the pitch and the look you want. It is slow work and it should be priced as its own item rather than buried in a square-foot number.
It is a self-adhering underlayment that seals around fasteners. We run it along the eaves, in the valleys and around penetrations, because freeze-thaw cycling here backs water up under the shingle at the gutter line. On a steep Victorian roof with many valleys it is the difference between a wet ceiling and a dry one.
One to two days on most Narberth twins, weather permitting. We coordinate with the attached neighbor on ladder placement and noise, tarp the porch and plantings, and flash the party wall properly so the new roof does not push water onto the older one next door.
