What a 1955 median build year means for Springfield roofs

Census figures for Springfield township, Delaware County show a median construction year of 1955, with 74 percent of the township's 8,912 housing units built before 1960 and only 4 percent built since 2000. That lines up with the township's own story: farmland sold off to developers after the war, including the Stoney Creek tract that went up between 1949 and the mid 1950s with its stone fronts and common floor plans. Houses of that age have usually carried more than one roof, so tear-offs can uncover a second layer and decking that has taken decades of moisture. Flashing at wall junctions and valleys is often older than the shingles above it. Our inspections look at the deck and the flashing, not only the surface, before we quote an asphalt shingle replacement or a targeted repair.

Baltimore Pike, the Golden Mile and Springfield's low-slope buildings

Baltimore Pike was begun in 1701 over oak planks and grew into the commercial strip known as the Golden Mile, still lined with car dealerships and anchored by the two-level, 590,000 square foot Springfield Mall. Showrooms, service bays, retail blocks and the office buildings along that corridor are typically flat or low-slope, which means a membrane rather than shingles. Hoff installs and repairs EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen on commercial roofs, and we also work on the smaller multi-unit buildings in the township: Census estimates put 4 percent of Springfield housing units in two to four unit buildings and 1 percent in larger ones. On low-slope roofs the usual trouble spots are seams, drains and the flashing at parapets and curbs, so that is where our leak detection starts.

Freezing nights and heavy rain over the Darby and Crum Creek watersheds

The NOAA station at Philadelphia International Airport, about 10 kilometers from Springfield, records roughly 77 days a year at or below freezing and about 23 inches of snow in a normal year. That freeze and thaw cycle is what drives ice dams at the eaves, which is why ice and water shield along the lower edge of a roof matters on these older Springfield houses. The station at Ardmore, about 9 kilometers north, records around 50 inches of precipitation a year, and the airport station logs roughly 11 days with an inch or more of rain. Springfield drains toward Darby Creek on the northeast and Crum Creek on the west, and those heavy days put the real load on valleys, step flashing and roof drainage. Storm damage repair and emergency tarping are part of what we do.

Roofing in Springfield: common questions

Which Hoff office covers Springfield, and how far is it?

Springfield is served from our Newtown Square office at 12 St Albans Cir #103, Newtown Square, PA 19073, in Newtown Township. OpenStreetMap routing puts the trip at roughly 7 miles and about 15 minutes, so a Springfield address is a short run for us. We cover both the residential streets and the commercial buildings along Baltimore Pike, and estimates are free and in writing.

My Springfield house was built in the 1950s. What should I expect at replacement?

Census estimates for Springfield township show a median build year of 1955 and 74 percent of units built before 1960, so most houses here are on at least their second roof. Older homes often have an extra layer to tear off, decking that has weathered many seasons, and flashing older than the shingles. We inspect the deck and flashing first, then give you a written estimate for the work the roof actually needs.

Do Springfield winters really cause ice dams?

They can. The NOAA station at Philadelphia International Airport, about 10 kilometers away, records roughly 77 days a year at or below freezing and about 23 inches of snow in a normal season. Repeated melting and refreezing at the eaves is how ice dams form and how water gets pushed back under shingles. On replacements we use ice and water shield along the eaves to guard that edge.

Do you work on flat roofs along Baltimore Pike and the Golden Mile?

Yes. The dealerships, retail blocks and offices along the Golden Mile, along with Springfield Mall, are mostly low-slope buildings that need a membrane system. We install and repair EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen, and we handle commercial roof inspection and leak detection on seams, drains and parapet flashing. We regularly beat other bids, and the estimate is written and free.
