— Quoted in 15 Minutes.

Upper Southampton was recognized as a township by the Provincial Council in 1685 and only became its own municipality in 1929, when the old Southampton split into an Upper and a Lower half. That long arc left village cores at Davisville and Churchville under decades of later suburban building between the Pennypack and Neshaminy creeks — and the exterior job changes completely depending on which layer your home sits in. We read that off aerial imagery and a 3D model and settle the entire quote on one 15-minute Zoom.

By the township's own account, Southampton is a namesake of Southampton, England — the seaport followers of William Penn sailed from — and by 1685 the Provincial Council recognized it as a township, its lands allocated to thirteen original purchasers. The ground between the Pennypack and Neshaminy creeks had been conveyed by the Lenni-Lenape Chief Tamanend to Penn by Deed dated June 23, 1683. Southampton stayed one township, reaching east toward Bensalem, until 1929, when it was finally divided into Upper Southampton and Lower Southampton. The U.S. Census Bureau's subcounty estimates put the township's population at 15,294 at the 2020 base and at 15,067 by 2025 — a modest decline consistent with an established suburb rather than a growing one. Farming was the way of life through the 18th and 19th centuries, so for exterior work the township reads as old crossroads cores buried inside the suburban housing that came after the 1929 split — and which layer a home belongs to drives the whole scope.

What Shapes Exterior Work in Upper Southampton

Old Crossroads Under Post-1929 Suburbia.

This is low-county rolling ground caught between two creek systems — the Pennypack and the Neshaminy — with old village cores at Davisville and Churchville surrounded by the suburban building that followed the 1929 split. Those layers each present their own exterior challenge:

  • Crossroads build vs. post-split fabric: the rooflines, framing depth and wall detailing on a house near the Davisville Seminary or the Churchville core diverge sharply from what you find on a home platted after the township separated from Lower Southampton — the aerial call on which yours is comes before any scope is written.
  • Two creek systems: the township drains to both the Pennypack and the Neshaminy, so we weight grading and water detailing to the creek side a specific lot actually sheds toward.
  • FEMA flood check by parcel: Upper Southampton's Code, Building & Zoning Department sends homeowners to the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer Viewer for their specific parcel — we pull that map before we price any lot near either creek corridor, not after.
  • Era-matched climate detailing: a pre-1929 village roof and a post-split suburban roof carry different sheathing and flashing assemblies, so when the same freeze-thaw winters and storm-driven summers load both, the underlayment weight and trim spec we write are keyed to the actual construction vintage, not a township average.

Which layer a house belongs to — Davisville-era crossroads or post-1929 suburban fill — is the question the aerial answers before anything else on an Upper Southampton quote.

Where We Work in & Around Upper Southampton

18966 in the Centennial District.

Upper Southampton Township carries ZIP 18966 at its 939 Street Road municipal building and sits in the Centennial School District with Ivyland Borough and Warminster Township, bordering Lower Southampton — the half it split from in 1929 — and Northampton Township.

From the Davisville crossroads out to the Pennypack edge and across the rest of Bucks County, every quote runs off aerial imagery — the Street Road permit office is part of the plan before the Zoom, never after.

Exterior Work From Crossroads Core to Suburb.

Same craftsmen, same materials, same warranties as any in-home contractor — without the in-home sales pitch.

Roofing in Upper Southampton

The township explicitly counts re-roofing among the alterations that need a permit before work begins. We pull your actual roof off the aerial, place it as an old crossroads build or a post-1929 suburban one, and spec tear-off, decking and venting to that house — then file the permit before the first shingle moves.

Siding in Upper Southampton

Siding is named in the township's permit list alongside re-roofing, and a Churchville-core wall takes a different profile than a post-split suburban elevation. We render the cladding and color on your real walls in 3D and weight moisture detailing to whichever creek — Pennypack or Neshaminy — your lot drains toward.

Windows & Doors in Upper Southampton

A house near the Davisville Seminary on Street Road carries very different openings than a home built after the 1929 split. We measure every opening off your facade and the aerial, then render energy-efficient options onto the real 3D model so the choice is locked before anything is ordered.

Fences in Upper Southampton

Fences and retaining walls are explicitly listed among the structures the township permits, and an old crossroads parcel runs its lines differently than a post-split suburban lot. We pull your real parcel, render the run in 3D, and carry the Code, Building & Zoning paperwork at 939 Street Road plus the utility marking.

Why Upper Southampton Homeowners Choose D'Bros

Built for a Township Split in 1929.

We Sort the Old Core From the Suburb

Upper Southampton holds village cores at Davisville and Churchville inside the suburban building that followed the 1929 split from Lower Southampton. The aerial imagery tells us exactly which layer your home occupies — old crossroads or post-split suburban fabric — and the roof, siding and opening specs flow from that call, not from a generic township baseline.

One Permit Office: 939 Street Road

The Code, Building & Zoning Department on Street Road, reachable at (215) 322-9700, requires a permit before re-roofing, siding, fences and new structures begin. We complete the application there, line up the inspections, and keep that process off your plate.

Mapped From the Air, Permitted on Street Road

Thomas Holme's map of Penn's province put the thirteen original Southampton tracts on paper in the 1680s; today's aerial imagery does the same for the specific house sitting in one of those old village cores or in the suburban fill that followed the 1929 split. We build the 3D model off that aerial, price the job from it, then file the building permit with the Code, Building & Zoning Department at 939 Street Road — all before a crew ever reaches the property.

Upper Southampton Township FAQ

Questions Upper Southampton Homeowners Ask.

Does it matter if my home is at an old Davisville or Churchville core versus a newer suburban part?
It matters a lot. Upper Southampton holds old crossroads cores at Davisville and Churchville surrounded by suburban housing that came after the township split from Lower Southampton in 1929, and the two carry different rooflines, framing and detailing. We pin which one yours is from aerial imagery and scope accordingly.
Does Upper Southampton require a permit to re-roof or re-side?
Yes. The Code, Building & Zoning Department at 939 Street Road, Southampton, PA 18966 — phone (215) 322-9700 — states a permit must be issued before additions or alterations including re-roofing and siding, as well as new structures, fences and retaining walls. We file the application and run the inspections for you.
Upper Southampton Township — what ZIP code and school district does it use?
The township's municipal building is at 939 Street Road under ZIP 18966, and it belongs to the Centennial School District — a three-member district that also includes Ivyland Borough and Warminster Township. Unlike many Bucks County townships whose school district covers a sprawling group of municipalities, Centennial's three members share the same rough quadrant between the Pennypack and Neshaminy, which is also why the 18966 ZIP and the Centennial enrollment lines stay tightly aligned.
My lot is near the Pennypack or Neshaminy — should I expect water issues during exterior work?
It depends on where exactly the lot sits. Upper Southampton drains across both the Pennypack and the Neshaminy creek systems, and the township's own Code, Building & Zoning Department directs homeowners to the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer Viewer to check their specific parcel. We pull that layer data before quoting any lot near the creek corridors and detail drainage, flashing and moisture management to match what the map actually shows for that parcel — not a blanket township rule.
How do you quote a home in Upper Southampton without a site visit first?
The township's crossroads villages and post-1929 suburban stock both read clearly from aerial imagery — the Davisville Seminary on Street Road, the Churchville core on Bristol Road, and the later subdivision fabric each have distinct footprints and roof geometries. We build a 3D model off that aerial, measure every plane and wall, check the FEMA flood layer for the lot, and draft the permit application for 939 Street Road before the Zoom call starts. The only crew that needs to be at the property is the install team.
