Roofing in Buckingham: Stone Farmhouses and Historic Villages

Buckingham Township is central Bucks County farm and village country between Doylestown and New Hope. Five of its crossroads villages — Holicong, Mechanicsville, Wycombe, Forest Grove and Spring Valley — are historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places, and Lahaska, home of Peddler’s Village, sits on the Buckingham–Solebury line.

The homes we see in Buckingham

Holicong’s historic district alone has 18 contributing buildings, mostly two-and-a-half-story stone houses, some from the mid-1700s. Elsewhere you’ll find stone farmhouses with additions from different centuries, bank barns, and newer estate homes on large lots.

• Stone farmhouses with several roof sections from different eras
• Cedar shake, natural slate and synthetic slate that suit the house
• Counter-flashing into stone walls and chimneys
• Standing seam metal for barns and outbuildings

Buckingham Township permits

Roof replacement permits are handled by Buckingham Township. National Register listing on its own doesn’t add a township review, but on a historic house it’s worth choosing materials that keep its character. We handle the permit and talk through those options at the inspection.

Buckingham by the numbers

Buckingham’s homes are newer than most of the region’s: half of the homes in Buckingham Township were built after 1993. A 25- to 30-year shingle roof from those years is due now, so many homeowners here are planning their first full replacement.

Ice is Buckingham’s standout: freezing rain was reported within 5 miles on 36 days since 2005, more than near any other town on this site, which is why ice and water shield at the eaves matters so much here. Two tornadoes have also touched down nearby, near Doylestown during Tropical Storm Isaias (Aug. 4, 2020) and during the remnants of Ida (Sept. 1, 2021). Live Buckingham forecast, radar & alerts →
