A Delaware River borough laid out on Philadelphia street names. Roofing for Palmyra’s porches, dormers and twins, most of them on a third roof.
Palmyra was cut into building lots in 1850, and its streets still carry Philadelphia names: Market, Arch, Race, Vine. Housing followed the railroad and then the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, so the bulk of it is late Victorian through the 1920s, with pockets of postwar infill. Full-width front porches, dormers, and steep slate-era pitches are everywhere. Nearly all of it has been re-roofed at least twice.
That history is what we read first. Old layers, a repaired dormer cheek, and a porch roof that was shingled when it should have been metal all change the scope. We strip to the deck, correct what previous work left behind, and flash the porch and dormers properly. Palmyra Borough’s construction office issues the permit under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Layers left on, valleys shingled over, and a porch deck patched with the wrong material are the things that turn a simple replacement into real repair.
Low-pitch front porches take standing-seam metal or membrane instead of shingle.
Step and kick-out flashing rebuilt where dormer cheeks meet the main slope.
Old courses stripped to bare deck so fastening and rot can actually be seen.
Roof permits come from the Palmyra Borough construction office under the state code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Yes, and it should. Going over old layers hides soft decking and stops flashing from being set correctly. A full tear-off also lets us put ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, which is the part that matters in a freeze-thaw winter. It costs more in labor and less in callbacks.
Because it is probably shingled at a pitch too shallow to shed, and it sits where snow slides off the main roof and stays. Standing-seam metal or a single-ply membrane solves it, together with new flashing where the porch roof meets the house wall.
Yes. The Palmyra Borough construction office issues it under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, and an inspection follows the work. We file it, so you are not standing at a counter. Ask any contractor for the permit number and the closed inspection at the end.
Usually not. Those streaks are algae feeding on the limestone filler in the shingle, common on north-facing slopes in this humidity. They are cosmetic. If the roof is otherwise sound we will say so, and algae-resistant shingle handles it at the next replacement.
