Trusted Roofing Services for Yardley, PA Homeowners
Yardley is a one-square-mile borough on the west bank of the Delaware River, founded in 1682 by Quaker settler William Yardley on land purchased directly from William Penn. The Yardley Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is one of the most architecturally complete in lower Bucks County — 215 buildings spanning Georgian and Federal homes from the 18th century, Gothic Revival, Carpenter Gothic, Queen Anne, and Italianate from the mid-1800s, and Foursquare, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman bungalows from the early 1900s. The historic district runs along Main Street, Canal Street, Afton Avenue, College Avenue, and Letchworth Avenue, parallel to the Delaware Canal that bisects the borough.
Most addresses with a Yardley mailing address are not actually in the borough — they are in Lower Makefield Township, which surrounds Yardley on three sides. That means “Yardley” covers everything from a 1790 stone Federal in the historic district to a 1990s estate home in a Lower Makefield development. Franco Roofing has spent 54 years working across this entire range, and the Yardley work specifically benefits from the kind of slate, cedar, and historic-restoration expertise that very few general contractors can match.
We offer the full range of residential and commercial roofing services to Yardley Borough, Lower Makefield Township, and the surrounding 19067 ZIP code:

Why Yardley Roofs Need a True Specialist
Two factors make Yardley roofs different from anywhere else we work in Bucks County. The first is water — a lot of it. The Delaware River forms Yardley’s eastern boundary and the Delaware Canal runs straight through the borough, and the area has a long history of flooding (Hurricane Connie and Diane in 1955, Hurricane Ivan in 2004, and the April 2005 flood that crested higher than Ivan). Even when a flood does not directly reach a roof, the saturation of the surrounding ground, the humidity that lingers for weeks after, and the cycles of swelling and drying put steady stress on every joint, every fastener, and every flashing detail. Roofs in low-elevation Yardley properties age noticeably faster than roofs five miles inland.
The second factor is the historic district itself. According to the Yardley Historic District nomination, most of the original roofs were asphalt shingle — but a meaningful share are slate, and the wood-sided buildings, frame outbuildings, and carriage houses throughout the district require period-appropriate detailing on flashing, gutters, and ridge work. A general contractor with no historic experience can ruin the look and integrity of a contributing structure in a single afternoon. We have spent five decades doing this kind of work the right way, including on properties along Main Street, South Canal Street, and the streets adjacent to Lake Afton.
