Bryn Mawr — Welsh for “big hill” — is one of the original Main Line railroad towns, home to Bryn Mawr College (founded in 1885) and Bryn Mawr Hospital. The community spreads across three townships: Lower Merion in Montgomery County, and Radnor and Haverford in Delaware County.
Bryn Mawr has some of the Main Line’s oldest housing: Victorian and Queen Anne homes near Lancaster Avenue, stone twins and colonials on the side streets, and larger estates toward Gladwyne and Villanova. Turrets, steep pitches, dormers and slate are common, and so are attached homes that share a roof line with the neighbors.
Most of Bryn Mawr is in Lower Merion. Lower Merion asks for a roof permit addendum with every roofing permit, describing the existing and proposed materials. Its rules allow no more than two layers of shingles, and a new roof can’t be laid over wood shake, slate, clay or cement tile — those have to come off first. Historic properties also need Historical Commission review. Homes on the Radnor side go through Radnor Township, and on the Haverford side Haverford Township uses its own roof permit addendum with the building permit application. We handle the permit for whichever township your home is in.
Bryn Mawr is an older housing market: half of the homes in Bryn Mawr were built before 1953, and 38% predate 1940. Many have already had several roofs, and original slate, box gutters and old flashing are common. About 31% of homes are townhouses or twins, where the new roof has to tie into the neighbor’s.
The worst storm in Bryn Mawr’s nearby record hit on June 24, 2010, when a 76 mph gust and 1.5-inch hail were both reported in Drexel Hill. Overall, storm wind damage was reported within 5 miles on 59 days since 2005, and hail on 27. Live Bryn Mawr forecast, radar & alerts →
