Permits

Cheltenham wants a permit for most roof work

Elkins Park is in Cheltenham Township, so roof permits come from the township building right here on Old York Road. The township requires a roofing permit for anything but a small repair, and the La Mott historic district, which shares the 19027 ZIP, needs BHAR approval first.

If your house is in La Mott

Cheltenham has two local historic districts, Wyncote and La Mott. If your house is in La Mott, you need approval from the Board of Historical Architectural Review (BHAR) before the township issues a permit for exterior work you can see from the street.

The board's roofing guidelines accept slate, wood shingles, standing seam metal and asphalt shingles, and they encourage repairing roof features to match the original in material, size, shape, texture and color. BHAR generally meets the third Thursday of the month.

We'll tell you at the inspection whether the house is in the district, and we'll plan the start date around the review.

Local roofs

What we look for on Elkins Park roofs

The median Elkins Park house was built in 1953, and about a third are older than 1940.

  • Brick chimney rising above a grey shingle roof with metal flashing at its base

    Older houses

    Elkins Park's older houses have steep roofs, chimneys and dormers, and that's a lot of flashing. On a slate roof, a repair often beats a replacement. We'll tell you which one yours needs.

  • Slope of multi-tone architectural shingles running to a white gutter, with trees and an overcast sky beyond

    Trees over the roof

    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.

  • Shingles cut back on a sloped roof to expose a patch of underlayment, a roofer's boots at the edge of the frame and a bundle of replacement shingles beside the opening

    After a storm

    Wind gets under shingles along the edges and the ridge first. Architectural shingles are heavier than old three-tab and hold up better, but nothing is wind proof. If you find pieces in the yard, call us, and we'll 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

Repair or replace? You'll see the photos first

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.

How a Elkins Park roof job goes

  1. Free inspection

    We come out, fly the drone and go through the photos with you.

  2. Written estimate

    Everything's on paper, including the per-sheet price for any rotted decking we find, so there's no surprise on the final bill.

  3. Permits

    We check whether BHAR applies, then file the township's roofing permit with a signed copy of the contract.

  4. Tear-off and new roof

    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.

    I live in Cheltenham PA, and Dynasty Construction & Roofing recently installed my new roof. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with them! From start to finish, Jack keep me update with the pictures from the drone view and the entire team was professional, efficient, and completely transparent throughout the whole process. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Dynasty Construction & Roofing to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and reasonably priced roofing company. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience!

    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.

  • Smokey IGoogle review

    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.

Price

What a new roof costs in Elkins Park

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 roof needs.

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.

Questions about roofing in Elkins Park

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Elkins Park?

Yes, unless it's a repair under 100 square feet. Cheltenham Township wants a signed copy of the contract with the application, and starting without a permit triples the fee.

Is my house in the La Mott historic district?

La Mott shares the 19027 ZIP with Elkins Park, and it's one of Cheltenham's two local historic districts. Give us the address and we'll check.

Can you put a new roof over my old one?

Pennsylvania code allows one new layer over an existing one in some cases. We recommend against it. You can't see or fix the decking through the old shingles, and the extra layer adds weight.

Can you check the chimney while you're up there?

Yes. A lot of roof leaks are really chimney flashing. We do chimney work too, so it's one visit.

How soon can you get out to Elkins Park?

We're based in Warminster, in Bucks County, a short drive from Elkins Park. Call and we'll tell you on the phone when we can come out.
