What a 1950 Median Build Year in Haverford Township Means for Your Roof
Census Bureau figures for Haverford township, Delaware County, from the American Community Survey 2020 to 2024 five-year estimates, put the median year built at 1950 and count about 18,637 housing units. Roughly 32 percent were built before 1940 and about 74 percent before 1960, while only about 4 percent date from 2000 or later. That pattern fits what Wikipedia describes: mill-era and railroad-era houses in places like Llanerch, then the Brookline plan, then the large brick tract developments in Beechwood, Chatham Park and Manoa. Houses of that age have usually been roofed more than once, so tear-offs can turn up more than one layer, older board or plank decking, and flashing that has aged longer than the shingles above it. An inspection before quoting is how we find out which applies.
Twins, Apartment Buildings and the Oakmont Business District: Low-Slope Work in Havertown
The same Census estimates for Haverford township show about 68 percent of homes are single-family detached, about 19 percent are attached rows or twins, about 3 percent sit in buildings of two to four units, and about 9 percent are in buildings with five or more units. Twins and rows share party walls, so a leak often starts at the wall line or at a low-slope rear section rather than in the middle of the slope. Commercial blocks such as the Oakmont Business District and the storefronts along Brookline Boulevard tend toward flat and low-slope decks. For those we install EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen, and we also do commercial roofing, repairs and leak detection on mixed-use buildings where apartments sit over shops.

Roofing in Havertown: common questions
Which Hoff office covers Havertown, and how far away is it?
Our Newtown Square office, at 12 St Albans Cir #103 in Newtown Township, covers Havertown. OpenStreetMap routing puts the trip at about 5 miles and roughly 12 minutes, so we are close enough to come out for a roof inspection, a leak investigation or emergency tarping after a storm, then follow up with a free written estimate for the repair or replacement.
My Brookline house is from the 1920s or 1930s. Does that change the roof work?
It often does. Census estimates for Haverford township show about 32 percent of homes predate 1940 and about 74 percent predate 1960. A house that old has probably carried several roofs, so a tear-off can reveal multiple layers, older plank decking that needs attention, and flashing at wall lines and valleys that is past its useful life. We look at all of that before pricing the job.
How does Havertown weather affect a roof?
The NOAA station at Ardmore 0.5 NW, about 3 km from Havertown, records roughly 50 inches of precipitation a year in its 1991 to 2020 normals. That much water puts the pressure on valleys, flashing and drainage rather than on the open field of shingles. In winter, ice building at the eaves is the concern here, which is why ice and water shield along the lower edge matters on a replacement.
Do you work on flat roofs over Havertown storefronts and apartment buildings?
Yes. We do commercial roofing and flat roofing in EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen, along with repair and leak detection. Census estimates for Haverford township show about 9 percent of homes are in buildings with five or more units and about 3 percent in two to four unit buildings, and commercial stretches like the Oakmont Business District add more low-slope deck area.
