Roofing in Newtown Square and Delaware County
Newtown Square sits in Newtown Township, with West Chester Pike running through it. This office covers the towns on both sides of the pike, from Havertown and Broomall out toward Edgmont.
Most of the homes we see in this area have pitched asphalt shingle roofs, often with a low-slope section over a porch, addition or garage that needs a membrane instead of shingles. We handle both on the same job.
Hoff The Roof Contractor is family owned and operated. Our lead installer is Amish, we use quality materials, and we regularly beat the other bids on a job. See how our crew works and how we price a roof.

A properly secured tarp over the damaged area to stop water coming in until the permanent repair can be made.

What the 1968 Median Build Year in Newtown Township Says About Local Roofs
Census figures from the American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates put Newtown township at about 15,260 residents and 6,299 housing units, with a median construction year of 1968. Roughly 38 percent of those units went up before 1960 and about 26 percent in 2000 or later, so the township carries two different roofing situations side by side. On the older side, a house from the 1950s or 1960s has likely been roofed more than once already, which tends to mean layers to tear off, sheathing worked over by old fasteners, and flashing that has shifted as the deck aged. On the newer side, the original builder roof installed with the house is the one now reaching the end of its run. About 62 percent of units here are single-family detached and 78 percent are owner occupied, so these calls usually land on one homeowner. A roof inspection is how you find out which situation your own house is in.
Stone Farmhouses Near Goshen Road and the 8 Percent Built Before 1940
Newtown Township was farming country into the 1800s, and township history describes stone farmhouses that grew by addition as families expanded, along with saw, paper and shingle mills on Crum Creek at the western border and Darby Creek in the northeast corner. Buildings from that period still stand, including Square Tavern at the corner of Newtown Street Road and Goshen Road and the Paper Mill House at St. David's and Paper Mill Roads. Census figures show about 8 percent of housing units in the township date from before 1940. Houses that old often have roofs built in stages: a main slope, a later wing at a different pitch, and a valley or a short low-slope section where the two meet. Those junctions and the flashing along them are where water usually finds a way in, not in the open field of shingles. We look hard at valleys, wall flashing and deck condition before pricing any replacement.
48 Inches of Rain at the Villanova Gauge, and the Apartment and Twin Roofs We Cover
The NOAA weather station at Villanova, roughly five kilometers from this office, records about 48 inches of precipitation a year. Rain at that volume tests the parts of a roof that move water rather than shed it: valleys, wall and chimney flashing, roof-to-wall transitions, and the drainage path off a low-slope deck. Census figures for Newtown township show about 22 percent of housing units sit in buildings with five or more units, 14 percent are attached row or twin homes, and 2 percent are in two-to-four unit buildings. Buildings like that, plus commercial properties in the towns we serve, usually carry flat or low-slope membrane roofs, and we work in EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen. Twins and rowhomes in places such as Havertown and Drexel Hill add a party wall, so a roof crosses a property line and water entering on one side can appear next door. We also handle storm damage repair and emergency roof tarping.
Roofing in Newtown Square: common questions
Where is the Hoff office in Newtown Square?
At 12 St Albans Cir #103, Newtown Square, PA 19073, in Newtown Township, Delaware County.
Which towns does the Newtown Square office serve?
Newtown Square and nearby communities, including Broomall, Havertown, Springfield, Media, Drexel Hill, Wayne, Radnor, Villanova, Edgmont, Berwyn and Devon.
Do you replace roofs in Newtown Square?
Yes. We do full tear-off roof replacements with asphalt shingles, and we install flat roofing membranes on low-slope sections.
Can you repair a leak without replacing the whole roof?
Often, yes. We find where the water is getting in and tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
Do you do commercial roofing near Newtown Square?
Yes. We work on commercial and multifamily buildings with flat and pitched roofs.
How do I get an estimate from the Newtown Square office?
Call (484) 874-7140, answered 24/7, or use the chat on this site. We inspect the roof and give you a written estimate at no charge.
Our Newtown Square house was built in the late 1960s. Is it likely still on its original roof?
Census figures put the median build year in Newtown township at 1968, and a house of that age has usually been roofed at least once since. Houses in that range often show more than one layer of old shingles, worn sheathing under the nails, and flashing that no longer sits tight. That is a tendency, not a verdict on your house, which is why we inspect before recommending anything.
We own one of the older stone homes in the township. What do you check first?
Census figures show roughly 8 percent of housing units in Newtown township predate 1940, and township history describes those early homes growing by addition. On a house like that we start where roof planes meet: valleys, step flashing against stone walls, and any short low-slope section tying an older wing to a newer one. We also check how many shingle layers are on the deck and what shape the sheathing is in.
We get hard downpours in Newtown Square. Why does my roof leak only during heavy rain?
The NOAA station at Villanova records about 48 inches of precipitation a year, and a good share arrives in heavy bursts. During those, valleys and flashing carry far more water than a light rain puts on them, so a gap that stays dry most of the year gets loaded and lets water through. Roof leak detection is about tracing that path back to the entry point, which is often well uphill of the stain.
I am on the board of a multi-unit building in Newtown Township. How do you approach a roof shared by many units?
About 22 percent of housing units in Newtown township are in buildings with five or more units, and those almost always have flat or low-slope membrane roofs. We inspect the whole deck rather than one unit's ceiling, because water entering at a seam, a penetration or the perimeter edge can travel and surface several units away. We work in EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen on roofs like these.
Can you repair our roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Many leaks in the towns we cover from Newtown Square trace back to flashing, a valley or a small area of damage rather than a worn-out roof. We inspect and do leak detection first, then tell you what we find. If the deck and the field of the roof still have service left, a repair is the honest answer, and we will say so in writing.
Why do your bids often come in under other roofers working in Delaware County?
We are family owned and operated, not owned by private equity, so there is no outside investor layer built into our pricing. Our lead installer is Amish and the crew works to his standard. We regularly beat other bids on the same scope of work, and because our estimates are written, you can compare them line by line against what anyone else quoted you.
