Roofing, Siding & Exterior Remodeling in Chalfont, PA

Chalfont is a small borough where Route 202 and Route 152 meet, about 12 miles from our Quakertown office and a few minutes west of Doylestown. It has its own train station on the Lansdale/Doylestown line and a compact borough center, but most of what people call Chalfont is the surrounding New Britain Township — quiet residential streets that are a short drive from both Doylestown and Lansdale.

We reach Chalfont from either direction, and it sits in the overlap between our Upper Bucks base and the Montgomery County towns we serve down Route 309 and Route 63. That makes it an easy town to schedule and an easy one to come back to for a follow-up.

Chalfont's housing is mostly single-family homes from the 1950s through the 1990s — ranches, split-levels, and two-story colonials on modest lots — with pockets of older homes near the borough center and newer construction on the township edges. The mid-century homes are the ones we see most: original or once-replaced roofs, aluminum or first-generation vinyl siding, and single-pane or early double-pane windows that let a lot of heat out.

On those homes the biggest gains usually come from doing the roof and the attic together. A 1960s ranch with a new shingle system but no ridge ventilation and thin attic insulation still ices up at the eaves in February and still costs too much to cool in July. We look at ventilation and insulation as part of every roof estimate in Chalfont, not as an afterthought.
