Trusted Roofing Services for Quakertown, PA Homeowners
Quakertown is a two-square-mile borough at the northern end of Bucks County, founded in 1728 on land purchased by Morris Morris from William Penn. The community took its name from the Quaker meetinghouse built here in 1723, and it remains the largest borough in Upper Bucks County with a population of about 9,400. The Quakertown Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, encompasses most of the borough and contains a remarkable range of architectural styles — Colonial, Federal, Greek Revival, and Italianate built before the Civil War, Victorian styles like Queen Anne and Second Empire from the late 1800s, and early 20th-century Bungalow and Craftsman homes. Three buildings are also listed individually on the National Register: Liberty Hall at 1237 W. Broad Street (built 1772, where the Liberty Bell was hidden overnight in 1777), the Enoch Roberts House at 1226 W. Broad Street (ca. 1814), and the Quakertown Train Station on Front Street.
Beyond the borough, Richland Township surrounds Quakertown on all sides and includes newer subdivisions and estates such as Cedar Grove Estates, Glen Meadows, Green Tree Estates, Oak Knoll, Knights-Bridge, Quaker Green, and Wedgewood Greene. The 18951 ZIP code covers both the historic borough and the surrounding township, and the roofing work we do here ranges from period-appropriate slate restoration on a 200-year-old fieldstone home to standard architectural shingle replacement on a 1990s development home. Franco Roofing has spent 54 years working across this entire range, which is why Quakertown homeowners turn to us when the work needs to be done correctly the first time.

Why Quakertown Roofs Need a True Specialist
Two factors make Quakertown roofs different. The first is the sheer architectural range inside the historic district. The Burgess Foulke House at 26 N. Main Street, built in 1812, is described in historic surveys as one of the few pure examples of early English Quaker design still standing — and it has different needs than the Federal-style William Green Store at 1239 W. Broad Street, the ca. 1814 Enoch Roberts House next door, or any of the Queen Anne and Second Empire Victorians built after the Civil War. A roof on a fieldstone Quaker meetinghouse needs different flashing details than a brick Federal townhouse, which needs different details than a frame Victorian with elaborate trim. A general contractor who treats them all the same will create problems that show up years later.
The second factor is age. Most homes in the Quakertown Historic District were built before 1957, and many are 100 to 200 years old. Original chimney flashings, valley details, and ridge work on these homes have often been patched, partially replaced, and patched again over multiple roof generations. Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles work on every one of those joints every winter. We have spent 54 years addressing exactly these failure points across Upper Bucks County, which is why our 10-year workmanship warranty actually carries weight on a 19th-century home.
