Pre-war twins and stone colonials packed tight against the Philadelphia line. Half of these roofs are shared with the house next door.
Penn Wynne sits at the eastern edge of Lower Merion Township, right up against the Philadelphia line, between Wynnewood and Overbrook. It was laid out and built out mostly in the nineteen twenties, thirties and forties: brick and stone twins, porch-front rows and modest colonials on small lots. A great many of these houses share a roof plane and a party wall with the one beside them.
That means the termination above the party wall is as important as the field, and it means the crew works in a strip of yard with a neighbor a few feet away. We plan both. Roof permits for Penn Wynne addresses are issued by Lower Merion Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Yes, and most people do. The work terminates at the party wall with proper flashing so your side is watertight regardless of what the neighbor does. There will be a visible line and a slight height difference until they replace theirs. Going in together costs each of you less.
A permit, issued by the township under the PA Uniform Construction Code, with an inspection after. Montgomery County has no part in it. We file it and manage the inspection. If your project also involves gutters, skylights or chimney work, it is simpler to have it all on one application.
The porch roof is shallow and usually uninsulated, so snow melts on the main roof above, runs down and freezes where the slope flattens. Ice-and-water underlayment carried across that transition, a membrane on the porch itself, and better attic ventilation are the combination that stops it.
By planning the footprint first. We set the dumpster and the drop zone on your side, tarp the ground and the plantings, and use roof jacks instead of ground staging where the side yard is too tight. Magnet sweeps cover both sides of the fence before we go.
