Willow Grove’s modest twins and ranches carry more flat roof than people expect. Roofing in Upper Moreland that treats those sections properly.
Upper Moreland is a compact, middle-income township built mostly for people commuting down Old York Road. The stock is modest and practical: twins, ranches, Cape Cods and small Colonials on tight lots, with a lot of enclosed porches, carports and rear additions added over the years. Those additions are where the pitch runs out. A roof that reads as a shingle roof from the street often has two or three low-slope sections nobody thinks about.
We price those sections as their own system. EPDM or TPO membrane where the slope is too shallow for asphalt, a proper flashed transition where the low roof meets the steep one, and architectural shingle over the main field. Permits are handled through Upper Moreland Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Asphalt needs pitch to shed water, and on porch and addition roofs below that threshold it holds water at the laps until it finds a way through.
Asphalt laid on a near-flat porch traps water rather than shedding it.
Where a low addition meets the steep main roof, the metal does all the work.
Flat sections hold standing water and wet snow long after the pitched roof clears.
Upper Moreland Township issues the permit, including for Willow Grove addresses.

If it has enough pitch, yes. Below roughly a two-in-twelve slope asphalt cannot shed reliably and a membrane is the correct system. It costs a little more on that section and it stops the leak that keeps coming back every spring.
Both are single-ply membranes for low-slope roofs. EPDM is a black rubber sheet that handles movement and cold well; TPO is a lighter-colored welded sheet that reflects heat. On a small porch or addition either works, and we pick based on the detail around it.
Upper Moreland Township, if the parcel is in the township. Willow Grove is a postal name that also covers parts of Abington and Upper Dublin, so we confirm the municipality first and then file under the PA Uniform Construction Code with the right code office.
Only as much as the repair requires, if the rest of the field is sound. We open enough to see the deck and the flashing at the failure point, fix it properly, and tie the new material back in. If the whole field is at end of life we will say so.
