Upper Darby Roofing Services

Upper Darby Township is the most densely populated municipality in Delaware County, and its housing stock shares more in common with Philadelphia than with the outer suburbs. The iconic 69th Street Terminal anchors the commercial district, and the surrounding residential blocks — along Market Street, Long Lane, Garrett Road, and Lansdowne Avenue — are lined with brick and stone twin homes built predominantly in the 1920s and 1930s. These twins mirror Philadelphia construction: shared party walls, front porches with flat or low-slope roofs, and rear additions that create complex roofing geometries. Drexel Hill, while technically a separate community within the township, continues this pattern of dense residential construction with some larger detached homes mixed in. Upper Darby sits in the first ring of suburbs immediately west of the city line, and it catches the same weather patterns that affect Philadelphia — nor'easters, summer thunderstorms with hail potential, and the freeze-thaw cycling that punishes aging shingle roofs. Many of these nearly century-old twins are still wearing their second or third set of shingles, and flat roof sections over porches and additions are common failure points. Adilay Roofing's expertise with Philadelphia twin homes translates perfectly to Upper Darby's identical construction style.
