Roofing, Siding & Windows in Lower Makefield Township, PA
— Quoted in 15 Minutes.

Lower Makefield is a Delaware-River township of suburban neighborhoods, preserved farmland and an Edgewood Village Historic District with its own review board — and it adopted a brand-new standalone floodplain ordinance in September 2025. Getting both of those overlays right — the HARB's appropriateness standard for work visible from the street, and Ordinance #461's September 2025 floodplain requirements — before a number is quoted is what we bring to the address; we run the parcel against the Edgewood Village boundary and the flood map from aerial imagery and a 3D model, and the written quote you see on the 15-minute Zoom already has both checks built in.

In the township's own description, Lower Makefield consists of suburban neighborhoods highlighted by numerous park and recreational facilities, together with historic properties that frame its heritage and preserved open space and farmland. The population estimate has tracked upward from 33,171 counted at the 2020 base to 34,123 by 2024 — placing it among the larger municipalities in Bucks County. Two things make exterior work here different from a generic suburb. First, the township keeps building permit records going all the way back to 1939, so its build-out is long and well documented and the older stock is real. Second, it carries the Edgewood Village Historic District with its own Historical Architectural Review Board, and a brand-new standalone Floodplain Management Ordinance the Board of Supervisors adopted on September 17, 2025. Those two overlays — historic review and flood program — are what we plan around.

What Shapes Exterior Work in Lower Makefield

Historic Review and a New Flood Ordinance.

Two township overlays set the terms here: the Edgewood Village Historic District, where the Historical Architectural Review Board weighs exterior work, and the standalone Floodplain Management Ordinance #461 adopted on September 17, 2025 under FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program. That combination reorganizes how a project is planned:

  • Edgewood Village Historic District: the HARB evaluates the appropriateness of exterior construction, alteration, restoration or demolition visible from a public street or right-of-way — every scope we build for a property inside that boundary carries HARB-ready elevation drawings from the first Zoom, so the submission and the finished project are the same document.
  • Floodplain ordinance: Ordinance #461 was prepared under the NFIP and the Community Rating System, which the township joined on May 1, 2016 for discounted flood-insurance premiums — we detail water-adjacent work to keep it consistent with that program.
  • Documented stock: permit records back to 1939 mean a home's history is usually retrievable — useful for scoping an honest tear-off rather than guessing at what is under the roof or siding.
  • Delaware-River winters on a documented housing stock: Sitting across the river from Trenton puts Lower Makefield in a zone where January cold snaps follow thaw-and-refreeze sequences at river elevation, and summer convective storms roll in off the open water — wear that shows in the flashing and underlayment on homes whose permit history runs back to 1939 and is retrievable from the township file.

For a property clear of both overlays the permit runs straight through Community Development at 1100 Edgewood Road; for one inside Edgewood Village or within the Ordinance #461 flood area — the standalone floodplain code the Board of Supervisors adopted September 17, 2025 — the first Zoom already has the overlay-specific detailing built in.

Where We Work in & Around Lower Makefield

19067 and the Yardley Border.

Lower Makefield's three ZIPs — 19067 at the Yardley core, 18940 to the north and 18977 toward Washington Crossing — all fall inside the Pennsbury School District, which the township shares with Falls Township and the Tullytown and Yardley boroughs. Every job here gets permitted through the Community Development Department at 1100 Edgewood Road; we file that application and run the inspections alongside any HARB coordination the district requires:

19067 18940 18977 Falls Township Middletown Township Yardley Borough Upper Makefield Township

Whether your address is in the 19067 core or the outer 18940 and 18977 reaches, the Edgewood Village and Ordinance #461 overlay checks run before any number leaves our desk — that is the same thorough approach we bring to every other corner of Bucks County we serve.

Roofing in Lower Makefield

If the roofline is visible from a public street inside Edgewood Village, it is HARB territory; elsewhere it is a straight re-roof. We measure yours from the aerial, pull the permit history that goes back to 1939, and spec tear-off, decking and venting accordingly.

Built for Two Overlays at Once.

We Know Edgewood Village

Inside the Edgewood Village Historic District the HARB weighs exterior work visible from a public street or right-of-way. Every scope we build for a property inside that boundary carries HARB-ready elevation drawings from the first Zoom — the quote and the submission are built together, not retrofitted after.

One Permit Office: 1100 Edgewood Road

The Community Development Department administers the zoning, land-development and building codes and keeps permit records back to 1939. We file the permit, pull the relevant history, and run the inspections so the paperwork is off your plate.

Review-and-Flood-Aware, On Screen

The two questions that drive every Lower Makefield exterior quote — does this roofline fall inside Edgewood Village, and does the parcel sit in the Ordinance #461 flood zone — are answered from aerial imagery and a 3D model before we put a number on anything. Drop the address in the form; we run both checks, build the overlay-aware plan, and walk through it with you on a 15-minute Zoom. The install crew is the first vehicle on the property.

Lower Makefield Township FAQ

Questions Lower Makefield Homeowners Ask.

My home is in Edgewood Village — does my roof or siding need HARB review?
If the work is on an exterior visible from a public street or right-of-way inside the Edgewood Village Historic District, the township's Historical Architectural Review Board evaluates its appropriateness and makes a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Every scope we build for a property inside that boundary carries HARB-ready elevation drawings from the first Zoom, so the submission and the finished project are the same document.
Lower Makefield adopted a new flood ordinance — what does that mean for my project?
At its September 17, 2025 meeting the Board of Supervisors adopted a standalone Floodplain Management Ordinance, Ordinance #461, prepared under FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program and the Community Rating System the township joined on May 1, 2016. We keep water-adjacent roofing, siding and fence detailing consistent with that program where it applies.
Does work in Edgewood Village need both a building permit and HARB approval?
Yes, if the work is visible from a public street or right-of-way inside the Edgewood Village Historic District, the HARB reviews the exterior for appropriateness and makes a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors — that happens before the building permit issues from the Community Development Department at 1100 Edgewood Road (phone 267-274-1100, Permit Administrator 267-274-1126). Outside the district it is a straight building permit through Community Development. We handle both tracks, from the first design submission through every inspection round.
The township spans three ZIPs — does my ZIP tell me which school district I am in?
All three ZIPs that fall in Lower Makefield — 19067, 18940 and 18977 — are served by the Pennsbury School District, which the township shares with Falls Township and the Tullytown and Yardley boroughs. Your ZIP does not change your district; what changes is which side of the township your parcel is on, and that only matters if you are near the Edgewood Village boundary or the floodplain. We pull the parcel and place both overlays from the aerial before we quote.
Can the 1939-onward permit records actually help my quote?
Yes. The township keeps building permit records, surveys and site plans going back to 1939, so a home's prior roofing, siding or addition history is often retrievable. That lets us scope an honest tear-off instead of guessing what is under the surface — useful on the older stock here.
