Newtown, PA
Dynasty Construction & Roofing replaces and repairs roofs in Newtown Borough and Newtown Township. We're based in Warminster and licensed in Pennsylvania (PA215236). In the township, a detached single-family house needs no permit for a new roof. In the borough's historic district, a roof that isn't replaced in kind goes to HARB first. Call (267) 270-0791.

Every photo here is one of our own jobs, and each one says which town it was in.
Permits
A Newtown address can mean the borough, the old town in the middle, or Newtown Township, which surrounds it on every side. Some 18940 addresses are in neighboring townships too. The roof rules change depending on which one you're in, so that's the first thing we check.
Newtown's historic district is on the National Register and takes in close to 300 old buildings. The borough's Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) reviews any change you can see from a street or sidewalk, and that includes a roof that isn't being replaced in kind. Borough Council gives the final OK.
HARB meets the fourth Wednesday of the month, and the application is due 30 days before that. The borough says it's common to need more than one meeting, so plan ahead. We'll tell you at the inspection whether the house is in the district.
Replacing a roof in kind, same material and same look, doesn't go to HARB. Changing the material, say from slate to asphalt shingles, does.
Local roofs
Newtown has two very different kinds of houses: old ones in the borough and newer ones out in the township.
More than half the houses in the borough were built before 1940, and the historic ones go back much further. The borough's own roofing guide says these roofs started out as wood shingles, slate or metal. Brick and stone chimneys are common, and the flashing around them is the first thing we check.
Most of Newtown Township went up in the 1980s and 1990s. A roof from then is at the age where shingles start to curl, go bald in spots and shed granules into the gutters. If you're in a townhouse, the township wants a permit for the replacement, and we file it.
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 or the township and whether HARB applies. Then we file whatever the job needs.
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.

In Newtown Township, not for a detached single-family house. Townhouses and other attached homes do need one. In the borough we check the rules for your job, and if the house is in the historic district, a roof that isn't replaced in kind goes to HARB first.
Any change you can see from a street or sidewalk that isn't a replacement in kind. The borough has written roofing guidelines, and they cover things like material, gutters and skylights that face the street.
The borough is the old town in the middle, and the township surrounds it on every side. Both use Newtown addresses. Give us the address and we'll check.
Yes. A lot of roof leaks are really chimney flashing. We do chimney work too, so it's one visit.
We're in Warminster, in the same county. Call and we'll tell you on the phone when we can come out.
