Permits
Gladwyne is in Lower Merion Township, so permits go through the township building in Ardmore. The old village along Route 23 is a historic district, where the township's review board looks at changes you can see from the street.
The Gladwyne Historic District runs along Route 23 and has been on the National Register since 1980. Most of its 57 contributing buildings are stuccoed stone houses built for mill workers in the early to mid 1800s, and it's also a Lower Merion local district.
Lower Merion's HARB reviews exterior changes you can see from a public way when a building permit is needed. The township says exact replacement of existing materials doesn't need HARB review, and neither does work you can't see from the street. Changing the roofing material on a house in the district is the kind of thing HARB looks at.
We'll tell you at the inspection if the house is in the district, and plan the start date around the review.
Local roofs
Most Gladwyne homes are single houses, many on big wooded lots, and the median one dates to the late 1960s.
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.
The older stone houses here often carry slate and big chimneys. Lower Merion won't let a new roof go over slate, and on a sound slate roof, a repair usually beats a replacement. We'll tell you which one yours needs.
When snow melts on the roof and refreezes at the cold eave, water backs up under the shingles. Lower Merion wants ice shield at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, and we check the decking while it's bare.
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 fill in Lower Merion's roof addendum and file the permit, and take it through HARB first if the house is in the district.
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
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.
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
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.

Yes. Lower Merion requires a roof permit with its roof addendum, allows two layers at most, and requires replacing all decayed sheathing. We file it.
Inside the Gladwyne Historic District, yes, for exterior changes you can see from the street that need a building permit. Lower Merion says exact replacement of existing materials doesn't need HARB review. Outside the district, it usually doesn't apply.
It depends on the rest of the roof, not the leak. If the shingles are still flexible and lying flat, fix the leak and keep the roof. If they're brittle, curling or bald across whole slopes, a repair buys you time, not a fix. We show you the photos and you make the call.
Yes. A lot of roof leaks are really chimney flashing. We do chimney work too, so it's one visit.
