Roofing in Jenkintown: Small Borough, Tight Lots

Jenkintown is a small borough — just over half a square mile — named for William Jenkins, a Welsh settler who arrived in 1697. It became its own borough in 1874, when about 248 acres were separated from Abington Township, and Old York Road still runs through the center of town.

The homes we see in Jenkintown

Because it’s compact and walkable, Jenkintown has more attached and closely spaced homes than its neighbors: twins, Victorian and Colonial Revival singles on small lots, and apartment buildings near the town center. Roofs are often steep, close to the house next door, and harder to stage.

  • Protecting neighbors’ homes, cars and landscaping during tear-off on tight lots
  • Party-wall flashing on twins
  • Slate and original details on older homes
  • Low-slope rear additions and porches that need membrane roofing

Borough permits, not township permits

Jenkintown is its own municipality, so roofing permits go through Jenkintown Borough, not Abington Township. Some 19046 addresses — Rydal and Meadowbrook, for example — are actually in Abington Township, which has its own rules. We file with the right one.

1938Median year homes were built
77%Homes built before 1960

Jenkintown is an older housing market: half of the homes in Jenkintown Borough were built before 1938, and 59% predate 1940. Many have already had several roofs, and original slate, box gutters and old flashing are common.

Jenkintown hasn’t had big hail — the largest reported within 5 miles since 2005 was 1 inch — but storm wind damage was reported nearby on 62 days, and a 71 mph gust was measured in Lower Moreland Township in June 2025. On tight lots, one fallen tree can damage more than one roof. Live Jenkintown forecast, radar & alerts →

Jenkintown, PA — Roofing FAQs

Is Jenkintown part of Abington Township?
No. Jenkintown has been a separate borough since 1874, so permits go to Jenkintown Borough. Some 19046 addresses, such as Rydal and Meadowbrook, are in Abington Township, which has its own permit rules.
Can you replace the roof on a twin or a closely spaced home?
Yes. We protect the neighboring home and yard during tear-off, flash the new roof into the neighbor’s at the party wall, and keep the roof line matched.
Does Shelby Roofing Services work in Jenkintown, PA?
Yes. We serve Jenkintown 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 Jenkintown?
Every roof in Jenkintown 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.
Can you work on Jenkintown homes with slate roofs or box gutters?
Yes. We repair and replace slate, rebuild and reline built-in box gutters, and install copper flashing and valleys. We always explain whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
Do you work on twins and attached homes in Jenkintown?
Yes. On twins we pay close attention to the shared roof line and the transition to the neighboring roof so the finished job is watertight and looks right from the street.
How long will a new roof last in Jenkintown?
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 Jenkintown.
