Somerton sits at the city's northern edge, with singles, twins and townhomes under pitched shingle roofs.

What the Roofs Look Like Here
Somerton is part of the Far Northeast, where post-war and later singles, twins and townhomes carry pitched shingle roofs. About 62% of homes in the Bustleton North and Somerton ZIP code were owner-occupied in Pew's 2014 analysis.
Larger lots and mature trees mean gutters fill quickly, and longer roof slopes carry more water to the eaves, where ice barrier and sound fascia matter most.

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.
