Aston Township housing: a median build year of 1970
Census figures from the American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates put about 6,341 housing units in Aston township, Delaware County, with a median construction year of 1970. Roughly 35 percent of those homes went up before 1960 and about 5 percent before 1940, while around 11 percent date from 2000 or later. A township with that spread tends to have decks and flashing that have already outlived one or two shingle roofs, and tear-offs on the older half of the stock often turn up more than a single layer. On the newer homes near the 2000s end, the original builder roof is usually the one now showing its age. An inspection tells you which situation you are in before anything is ordered.
Freeze nights and heavy rain measured at Marcus Hook, about 5 km away
The NOAA weather station at Marcus Hook, roughly 5 kilometers from Aston, records normals of about 42 inches of precipitation a year, around 65 days at or below freezing, and about 10 days with an inch or more of rain. That many freezing nights, paired with measurable snow, is the pattern that produces ice dams at the eaves, which is why ice and water shield along the lower courses matters on Aston roofs. The heavy rain days are the ones that find weak valleys, tired step flashing and slow drainage. With Chester Creek running along the township's eastern border, low ground and hard rain tend to arrive together, so we look closely at how water leaves a roof.
Flat and low-slope roofs in Aston, from twins to Pennell Road buildings
About 73 percent of Aston township homes are single-family detached, according to the same Census estimates, but roughly 15 percent are attached rowhomes and twins, and another 8 percent sit in buildings with two or more units. Attached housing brings shared party walls and, in many cases, flat or low-slope rear sections where membrane work is the right answer rather than shingles. We install EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen for those roofs. Aston also carries commercial and institutional buildings, including Neumann University, the IceWorks Skating Complex and the Endless Pools plant, and buildings on that scale usually have low-slope roofs. We work on both residential and commercial properties in the township and put every estimate in writing.

Roofing in Aston: common questions
Which Hoff office covers Aston, and how far is it?
Aston is served from our Chester office at 506 Kerlin St #A, Chester, PA 19013. OpenStreetMap routing puts the trip at about 5 miles and roughly 12 minutes, since Aston borders the City of Chester on its southern side. Aston is one of the Delaware County towns that office covers, along with neighbors such as Brookhaven, Boothwyn and Garnet Valley.
My Aston home was built around 1970. What does that mean for the roof?
Census estimates give Aston township a median build year of 1970, so a house from that era has likely carried more than one roof already. Expect an older deck, flashing that has aged alongside it, and a real chance of a second shingle layer waiting at tear-off. None of that is certain for your address, which is why we inspect first and give you a written estimate for what we actually find.
Do ice dams happen on Aston roofs?
The conditions are there. The Marcus Hook NOAA station, about 5 kilometers from Aston, records roughly 65 days a year at or below freezing. Repeated freezing and thawing with snow on the roof is what drives meltwater back under shingles at the eaves. Ice and water shield along the lower part of the roof is the standard defense, and it is something we address when a roof is replaced.
Can Hoff work on a flat roof in Aston?
Yes. We install and repair EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen. Around 15 percent of Aston township homes are attached rowhomes or twins by Census estimates, and attached housing often has flat or low-slope rear roof sections. Commercial and institutional buildings in the township generally use membrane roofs as well. We handle both residential and commercial flat roofing and provide a free written estimate.
