Roofing in Bustleton
Bustleton's post-war twins, singles and townhomes carry pitched shingle roofs, many now due for their second or third replacement.
Bustleton roof work is mostly pitched shingle roofs on post-war twins, singles and townhome rows, plus flat roofs over additions and garages. Shingle replacement, leak repairs, attic ventilation, gutters and storm damage lead the calls.
What the Roofs Look Like Here
Bustleton is part of the Far Northeast north of Cottman Avenue, where post-war singles and twins with pitched shingle roofs dominate. About 61% of homes in the Bustleton South ZIP code were owner-occupied in Pew's 2014 analysis.
Townhome rows here often share continuous roofs, so one owner's replacement has to meet the neighbors' roofs properly at each party wall.

A Typical Job in Bustleton
On a Bustleton townhome, a replacement covers your section of a shared roof: tear-off, decking repairs, ice barrier, underlayment and shingles, with step flashing at the walls and a clean transition to the neighbors' shingles on each side.
Permits and Paperwork
Inside the city, roofing permits come from Licenses and Inspections. A new covering on an existing roof usually qualifies for the EZ re-roofing permit, and once a roof carries two layers the city requires a full tear-off to the deck. We file what the job needs before the old roof comes off.
