Shelby replaced my entire roof after a tree strike. 200+ year old home with some special needs. Excellent work. Fast, clean, and professional. Could not be happier.

Roofing in Upper Dublin: Dresher, Maple Glen and Fort Washington
Upper Dublin Township takes in Dresher, Maple Glen and Jarrettown, parts of Fort Washington and Oreland, and the Upper Dublin side of Ambler. It’s a few miles east of our Blue Bell office, and it’s where the 2021 Ida tornado touched down.
The homes we see in Upper Dublin
Most of the township was built out from the 1950s through the 1990s: colonials, split-levels, ranches and Cape Cods, with larger custom homes in Maple Glen and Dresher. Many are on their second or third roof, and many still have the original attic ventilation.
- Wind-damage checks after strong storms — especially on exposed, open lots
- Second and third roofs: a full tear-off so the deck can be checked
- Balanced intake and ridge ventilation to protect the new shingles
- Gutter and downspout sizing for big roof areas
Upper Dublin permits
Upper Dublin Township’s monthly building reports list re-roofing jobs under building permits, so plan on a permit for a full replacement. The township office is at 370 Commerce Drive in Fort Washington. We handle the application as part of your project.
Storm history: the 2021 Ida tornado
On September 1, 2021, the remnants of Hurricane Ida produced an EF-2 tornado with winds the National Weather Service estimated at up to about 130 mph. It tracked from the Fort Washington area of Upper Dublin Township into Horsham, tore the roof off the Upper Dublin police building and brought down trees across the area.
