— Quoted in 15 Minutes.

Northampton became a township on December 14, 1722, and spent most of its life as farm country with five small villages — Richboro, Holland, Churchville and the rest — before its farms turned into subdivisions. Today its homes range from 18th-century village stock to modern developments across Richboro, Holland, Churchville and Ivyland, and we settle every one of them on aerial imagery, a 3D model and a single 15-minute Zoom instead of a doorstep estimate.

A 1722 Farm Township

26.5 sq miFounding Area

Northampton officially became a township on December 14, 1722, covering 26.5 square miles, its name believed to trace to the County of Northampton in the English midlands; the first settlers were English, followed by Dutch and French Huguenots. Founded December 14, 1722 across 26.5 square miles, the township spent two centuries as farm country — its five small villages barely legible on most maps — before a wave of subdivision development pushed its subcounty head count to 39,898 in 2020 and 40,020 by 2024, making it one of the larger single municipalities in Bucks County despite never having a formally named commercial core. For two centuries it stayed farm country: by the mid-1800s it had five small villages — Jacksonville, Richboro, Addisville, Churchville and Rocksville — and most major roads were not even paved until the late 1930s and early 1940s. The township explains the modern map plainly: Jacksonville is now considered Ivyland, Addisville is Richboro, Rocksville is Holland, and many of its farms have since become housing developments. That late, fast farm-to-subdivision shift is exactly what shapes exterior work here.

What Shapes Exterior Work in Northampton

Village Homes and Former Farmland.

A township whose five small villages converted farmland into subdivisions across just two or three decades carries housing as varied as its history — 18th- and 19th-century Richboro and Churchville frame homes at one end, and 1970s-onward former-field developments at the other. Reading the actual building on the aerial is what gives the quote its grounding:

  • Village-era versus farmland-conversion homes: a Richboro structure originally built as a small store and a Holland development home built on recently open farmland age differently and carry different underlayment, trim and flashing requirements — scope follows the real building, not a township-wide profile.
  • Replacement still needs a permit: the township is explicit that even replacing a fence or shed requires a permit because requirements change and old items may never have been approved — we plan the work to clear that from the first Zoom.
  • Former-farm lots: developments built on old fields often sit on graded ground with their own drainage behavior — we weigh grade and moisture detailing for your specific parcel.
  • Iron Works Creek and winter cycles: Iron Works Creek threads the township's low ground, and the inland humid-continental pattern — hard freeze cycles followed by summer storm rain — works at caulked joints and older flashings; we tune underlayment and trim spec to the home's era and its position relative to that drainage corridor.

Knowing whether a home is village-era or former-farmland development decides its whole scope, and we settle that before the quote.

Roofing in Northampton

A 19th-century Richboro store-turned-home and a 1980s Holland development roof age very differently. We measure yours from the aerial and spec tear-off, decking and venting for that structure, not a township average.

Siding in Northampton

The cladding that suits an Addisville-era frame house is not what suits a former-farmland subdivision. We render the profile and color on your real elevation in 3D so the choice is made on the actual house.

Why Northampton Township Homeowners Choose D'Bros

Built for a Farm-to-Suburb Township.

We Tell Village From Development

Northampton's homes split between 18th- and 19th-century village stock in Richboro, Churchville and Addisville — some built as small stores or retired-farmer homes — and modern developments built on the same fields those farmers worked. The aerial read of your building settles which category applies before the Zoom; the roofing, cladding and window scope flows from that answer.

One Permit Office: 55 Township Road

The Building & Codes Department issues the permit, and Northampton specifically requires one even to replace a fence or shed. We file it to that standard and run the inspections so the township's replacement rule never trips you up.

An Inland Township, Read From the Air

Unlike its riverfront neighbors, Northampton grew up around crossroads and mill sites — Iron Works Creek, not a navigable river, threads its 26.5 square miles laid out back in 1722. A landlocked township with no waterfront to drive along is exactly the kind of place an overhead view serves best: aerial imagery and a 3D model of your specific home produce the measurements, the written quote lands during a 15-minute Zoom, and a crew shows up only once there is a signed scope to install.

Northampton Township FAQ

Questions Northampton Homeowners Ask.

My Northampton home is in old Richboro or Churchville — does that change the work?
It can. The township notes many homes in the center of Richboro were built as small stores and as homes of retired farmers, and that Addisville is now Richboro and Rocksville is Holland. A house that was originally a 19th-century store front and a subdivision home built on what was recently open Northampton farmland age at different rates and carry different trim, flashing and underlayment requirements — which is why the aerial read of your specific house comes first in the quote, not last.
Do I really need a permit just to replace my fence in Northampton?
Yes. The township is explicit that permits are required even for replacement items such as sheds and fences, because zoning and building requirements change over time and the original item may never have been approved. We plan the work to clear that and pull the permit for you.
Does Northampton Township require a permit even to replace an existing fence or shed — and where do those applications go?
Yes — the Northampton Township Building & Codes Department at 55 Township Road, Richboro, PA 18954 (phone 215-355-3883) is explicit: permits are required even for replacement items like fences and sheds, because zoning and building requirements change over time and the original item may never have received formal approval. We prepare and submit the application to 55 Township Road, run the inspection sequence, and return the permit card to you; the township paperwork never lands on your kitchen table.
Northampton Township's communities — Richboro, Holland, Churchville, Ivyland — span three ZIPs. Does your Council Rock School District membership affect the permit or the quote?
The three ZIPs — Richboro 18954, Holland 18966 and 18974 — all sit inside one township and one permit office at 55 Township Road, so the ZIP on your address does not change the permit process. Council Rock School District draws from Northampton alongside Newtown Borough and Newtown, Upper Makefield and Wrightstown townships; school-district geography is a household consideration but does not create separate permit jurisdictions. One aerial, one quote, one permit channel — wherever in Richboro, Holland, Churchville or Ivyland the project sits.
When did Northampton Township get its start?
The township officially became a township on December 14, 1722, covering 26.5 square miles, with its name believed to trace to the County of Northampton in England. It stayed farm country with five small villages until the 20th century, and that late farm-to-subdivision shift still shapes its housing today.
