Doylestown, PA
Dynasty Construction & Roofing replaces and repairs roofs in Doylestown Borough and Doylestown Township. We're based in Warminster and licensed in Pennsylvania (PA215236). In the borough, a full re-roof needs a permit, and street-visible work over $2,000 inside the historic district needs a Certificate of Appropriateness first. Inspections and written estimates are free. Call (267) 270-0791.

Permits
A Doylestown address can put you in a few different places. The borough is the old town around the courthouse. Doylestown Township wraps around it. And some 18901 and 18902 addresses are actually in Buckingham, Plumstead or New Britain Township. Each one has its own permit office, so the first thing we check is which one you're in.
The borough has had a historic district since 1970. If your house is inside it, and the roof work can be seen from the street and costs more than $2,000, the borough has to sign off before a permit gets issued. The Historical and Architectural Review Board (HARB) looks at things like material and color, then sends a recommendation to Borough Council.
HARB meets the fourth Thursday of every month, and the application has to be in at least 10 business days before that. So plan on a few extra weeks before your start date. We'll tell you at the inspection if the house is in the district, and we'll build the schedule around the meeting.
If you're thinking about a different color or a different material from what's up there now, tell us early. That's exactly what HARB looks at.
Local roofs
Houses in and around Doylestown aren't all one type, so the problems aren't either.
A lot of the houses in the borough are older, with steep roofs, dormers and brick chimneys. On houses like these, leaks usually start where the roof meets something else, like the chimney or the side of a dormer. If you've got plaster ceilings, water can sit up there for months before a stain shows.
Most Doylestown Township houses went up between the 1970s and the 1990s. If big trees hang over your house, the valleys and gutters fill with leaves, branches come down in storms, and the shady side stays damp enough for moss. You can't see any of that from the driveway. You can see it in the drone photos.
Wind gets under shingles along the edges and the ridge first. If you find pieces in the yard, call us. We'll get up there, photograph what's missing, and tell you what it takes to fix.
Leak near the chimney? We do chimney work too, so we check the flashing, the crown and the brick on the same visit.
No guessing from the ground
We don't guess from the ground. We put a drone up, walk what's safe to walk, and send you the pictures. If the shingles are still flat and flexible, we fix the leak and you keep the roof. If they're brittle or curling across whole slopes, a repair only buys you time, and we'll tell you that. Either way, it's your call.
We come out, fly the drone and go through the photos with you.
Everything's on paper, including the per-sheet price for any rotted decking we find, so there's no surprise on the final bill.
We work out whether you're in the borough, the township or next door, and whether the historic district applies. Then we file the permit.
We cover the beds, the old shingles go straight into the dumpster, and we check the decking before new underlayment, flashing and shingles go down. At the end we sweep the yard and driveway with a magnet for nails.
In their words
Replacing a roof isn't something you do everyday. But in doing so you want to make sure you have someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and efficient. When I met Rich and Jack from Dynasty Construction & Rofing they made me feel comfortable immediately. I knew they knew their stuff and they handled everything for me. I didn't have time to worry or doubt because their confidence and professionalism surpassed all my expectations. Jack walked me through everything step by step and answered any questions or concerns patiently. I definitely recommend them because they definitely have your best interest in mind.
I recently hired Dynasty Construction & Roofing to take care of some issues with my roof, including replacing missing shingles and recapping my chimney, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the start, they were responsive, professional, and easy to work with. They clearly explained the scope of work, provided a fair estimate, and showed up on time ready to get the job done. The quality of their workmanship really stood out and everything was completed with attention to detail, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. The new shingles blend in perfectly with the existing roof, and the chimney recap was done cleanly and securely. They also made sure to clean up thoroughly after the job, which I really appreciated.
Rich and Jack & his team were outstanding! Their work is great & pricing is fair. We had a portion of our roof repaired that caused a severe leak (and hole) in our ceiling. They shared drone shots of the exterior as the work progressed. They also noticed other areas of concern & repaired at no additional cost. Jack also worked throughout the weekend to complete the inside drywall repair. Will definitely use for any future work! Highly recommend.
Price
We don't price roofs over the phone. Two houses on the same street can come back thousands of dollars apart. What moves the number is the size and shape of the roof, how steep it is, how many layers come off, how much decking is soft, and how much flashing the chimneys and dormers need.
Our estimate often isn't the lowest one you'll get. If a bid comes in way under the others, ask what's missing from it. Usually it's the decking or the flashing.
