What Thornbury Township Census Numbers Suggest About Glen Mills Roofs

Census figures for Thornbury township, Delaware County, one of the townships inside the 19342 ZIP Code, count 2,324 housing units with a median construction year of 1997, and about 45 percent built in 2000 or later. In housing that age, the roof going on now is often the first full replacement after the builder's original shingles, so the deck and flashing details tend to be in better shape than on much older homes. The same figures show about 12 percent of units predate 1940. Those older properties tend toward aging flashing, repeated roof cycles and sometimes more than one layer to tear off. We start with a roof inspection and a free written estimate so you know which situation you are in before any work is scheduled.

Freeze Nights and Hard Rain Days Around Glen Mills

The NOAA weather station at Marcus Hook, about 12 kilometers from Glen Mills, records roughly 65 days a year at or below freezing. Repeated freezing and thawing at the eaves is what builds ice dams, which is why ice and water shield along the lower edges and in the valleys matters on homes here. The same Marcus Hook station records about 10 days a year with an inch or more of rain, and the West Chester 2.4 SSE station roughly 9 kilometers away records close to 49 inches of precipitation a year. Rain at that intensity tests valleys, flashing and drainage first. We offer roof leak detection, roof repair, storm damage repair and emergency roof tarping when a storm opens something up.

Flat and Low-Slope Roofing Across the 19342 Townships

Along with detached houses, which make up about 79 percent of units in Thornbury township, Delaware County, Census estimates show roughly 17 percent are attached homes such as twins and rowhomes, and about 4 percent sit in buildings with five or more units. Attached and multi-unit buildings commonly carry flat or low-slope sections and shared party walls, where water that gets past one roof can travel into a neighbor's space. For those roofs we install EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen. We also do commercial roofing for owners of offices, shops and other buildings in and around Glen Mills, with the same free written estimate and the same inspection process used on houses.

Roofing in Glen Mills: common questions

Which Hoff office covers Glen Mills, and how far is it?

Glen Mills is served from our West Chester office at 629 S Chester Rd #101, West Chester, PA 19382, in Westtown Township, Chester County. OpenStreetMap routing puts the trip at about 5 miles and roughly 9 minutes, so Glen Mills is one of the closer towns on our list. That short distance makes it easy to come out, look at the roof and leave a free written estimate.

Most of my neighborhood was built in the late 1990s and 2000s. What does that mean for my roof?

Census figures for Thornbury township, Delaware County give a median construction year of 1997, with about 45 percent of units built in 2000 or later. Homes in that range are usually on their original builder roof or close to the end of it, so the question is normally whether the shingles and flashing are worn rather than whether the deck has been rebuilt. An inspection will tell you which.

How do winters around Glen Mills affect a shingle roof?

The NOAA station at Marcus Hook, about 12 kilometers away, records roughly 65 days a year at or below freezing. That pattern of melting and refreezing is what forms ice dams at the eaves, pushing water back under the shingles. Ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys is the practical defense, and it is standard on the asphalt shingle roofs we install.

Do you work on flat roofs on twins, rowhomes and commercial buildings in Glen Mills?

Yes. About 17 percent of units in Thornbury township, Delaware County are attached homes and about 4 percent are in buildings with five or more units, and those buildings often have flat or low-slope sections. We install EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen, and we do commercial roofing as well as residential. We regularly beat other bids on this work.
