Roofing in Ardmore: Main Line Twins, Rowhouses and Older Roofs

Ardmore is one of the original Main Line communities along Lancaster Avenue, split between Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County and Haverford Township in Delaware County. Its Suburban Square, opened in 1928, is often cited as one of the first suburban shopping centers in the country.

Homes in Ardmore

Ardmore is a town of twins and rowhouses: only 22% of its homes are single detached houses, 40% are attached, and 71% were built before 1960.

  • Party walls and shared roof lines on twins and rowhouses
  • Flat or low-slope rear roofs that need a membrane such as EPDM
  • Slate and older roofs with chimneys and decorative trim
  • Roofs that already have two layers and must be torn off

Permits: Lower Merion or Haverford

The permit depends on which township your address is in. Most of Ardmore is in Lower Merion Township, whose residential permit application allows a maximum of two layers of shingles and requires roofing contractors to be licensed with the Township or registered as a Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor (ours is PA HIC #PA-178363). Properties under the Township’s historic preservation rules can also need Historical Commission review. The west side of Ardmore is in Haverford Township, which uses its own roof permit addendum. We handle the filing with either one.

Storm history: June 24, 2010

The strongest measured gust within 5 miles of Ardmore, 76 mph, hit Drexel Hill on June 24, 2010, and the same storm dropped 1.5-inch hail there. Hail and wind damage often can’t be seen from the street, which is why we document every inspection with a drone.

Ardmore, PA — Roofing FAQs

How many roof layers are allowed in Ardmore?
Two. Lower Merion Township’s residential permit application allows a maximum of two layers of shingles, and Haverford Township applies the same two-layer limit, so a roof that already has two layers must be torn off before a new one goes on.
Is Ardmore in Montgomery County or Delaware County?
Both. Ardmore is split between Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County and Haverford Township in Delaware County, and the roofing permit goes to whichever township your address is in. We handle either one.
Does Shelby Roofing Services work in Ardmore, PA?
Yes. We serve Ardmore and the surrounding Montgomery County area from our base in Blue Bell, PA. We are GAF Certified, licensed and insured, and offer free drone roof inspections. Call (215) 847-3522.
How much does a new roof cost in Ardmore?
Every roof in Ardmore is different, and the most accurate way to know the cost is a free inspection. Price depends on the roof’s size, pitch and complexity, the material you choose, and the condition of the decking underneath. We provide a free inspection and a personalized, itemized written estimate for your property — no pressure and no obligation. Call (215) 847-3522.
Do you repair slate and copper on Ardmore homes?
Yes. Slate repair and replacement and custom copper work are a large part of what we do on the Main Line. We always explain whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
Do you work elsewhere in Lower Merion Township?
Yes — across Lower Merion, including Bryn Mawr, Gladwyne, Narberth, and the rest of the Main Line.
How long will a new roof last in Ardmore?
25–30+ years for architectural shingles, 30–50+ years for premium designer shingles, and far longer for slate and standing seam metal. Proper installation and attic ventilation are the two biggest factors.
What is the difference between ACV and RCV insurance coverage for my roof?
ACV (Actual Cash Value) pays the depreciated value of your roof — a 15-year-old roof gets a fraction of replacement cost. RCV (Replacement Cost Value) pays full replacement cost minus your deductible. Most homeowners in Montgomery County have RCV policies but may not realize it. We review your policy details during the inspection and explain exactly what you are entitled to before any claim is filed.
Can I get a supplement if my insurance payout does not cover the full scope?
Yes — and this is common. Initial scopes of loss often miss code-required items like ice and water shield, ventilation upgrades, and drip edge. We prepare Xactimate-compatible supplement documentation and submit it directly to your carrier. Montgomery County sees nor’easters and severe summer storms that make supplements a common part of roof claims.
What if my insurance claim was denied?
A denial is not final. We can conduct a second inspection with detailed photo documentation, help you request a re-inspection, or provide a written contractor assessment supporting your appeal. We will tell you honestly which path is most likely to succeed for your specific situation in Ardmore.
