Permits

Norristown has its own rules

A Norristown mailing address can be in the Municipality of Norristown or in a neighboring township like East or West Norriton. Inside Norristown, contractors need a municipal license, the permit has to be posted before work starts, and the historic districts go through HARB.

If your house is in a historic district

Norristown has two National Register districts, Central Norristown and the West End, with about 3,600 buildings between them. The Historical and Architectural Review Board (HARB) covers both. Work visible from a public way that needs a building permit also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from Municipal Council first.

HARB meets the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 PM, and applications are due 10 business days before. The rear of a building usually isn't covered unless it faces a street. HARB lists roofing and asks about roof style and materials.

Routine maintenance is not regulated by HARB. A change you can see from the street usually is.

Local roofs

What we look for on Norristown roofs

Norristown is a town of row houses and twins, some of them from the early 1800s.

    Twins and row homes

    Where your roof meets the neighbor's over the party wall, the new work has to tie in cleanly with their side. That seam is where water likes to get in, so it's where we look hardest.

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

    Old row houses

    Norristown's oldest rows date from the early 1800s, and some early West End houses have steep gables and slate. Old roofs like these leak at the flashing and the party walls first.

  • 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

    When Ida came through in 2021, the Schuylkill at Norristown crested at a record 26.85 feet. Most storms are nothing like that, but wind still finds the edges and the ridge first. If you find pieces in the yard, call us.

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 Norristown 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 HARB applies and what the permit requires before we set a date. Norristown requires contractors to hold a municipal license, so ask anyone you hire whether they have one.

  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.

  • martin smithCheltenham, Pennsylvania

    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!

  • Mirjeta GashiGoogle review

    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 Norristown

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 Norristown

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Norristown?

Yes. Norristown requires a roofing permit with a signed contract, posted on the job before work starts. Starting without one doubles the fee, and contractors need a Norristown license.

Does HARB review roofs in Norristown?

In the Central and West End historic districts, yes, for roofing you can see from a public way. The rear of a building usually isn't covered unless it faces a street.

Is my Norristown address in Norristown?

Not always. The 19401 and 19403 ZIPs reach into East Norriton, West Norriton and other townships, which have their own offices. Give us the address and we'll check.

Should I repair my roof or replace it?

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.

How soon can you get out to Norristown?

We're based in Warminster, in Bucks County. Call and we'll tell you on the phone when we can come out to Norristown.
