Roofing in Holland
Holland’s houses and their roofs.
For most of its history this corner of Northampton Township was farmland around a mill on Mill Creek, a crossroads first called Rocksville for the creek's rocky banks and renamed Holland when the post office came in 1870. Then a building boom in the 1970s turned the fields into tract developments such as Hillcrestshire off Buck Road.
The census shows how fast it happened. Across the township, almost half of today's homes went up between 1970 and 1989, the median house dates to 1980, and fewer than 2 percent are newer than 2010. Eight in ten are single detached houses, and nearly all are owner-occupied.
That makes Holland a town of second roofs. A house built in 1978 has very likely been re-roofed once already, and that roof is now reaching its own end. From our office a few miles up the road in Newtown, we inspect and replace roofs here with the same written process we use everywhere.
Know the house
Roofs you’ll find around Holland.
1970s tract houses
The large tract developments that replaced the farms, many of those houses now on their second or third roof. Before quoting, we check how many layers are up there and whether the plywood under them is still sound, because a deck that has carried two roofs often has soft spots at the eaves.
Village Shires
A 1980s planned community where single homes, townhouse groups and six condo associations all sit under one community association. On a shared roofline, the first question is who owns the roof, so we start by asking you to check with your association before any work is scheduled.
The few prewar houses
Only about 4 percent of township homes predate 1940, and their roofs have usually been changed several times. Expect old flashing at chimneys and dormers that was patched over rather than replaced, and framing that is not as even as a 1980s truss roof.
Old trees, summer storms, February nor'easters
Fifty years after the farm fields were built over, the trees planted around those houses are full-grown, and that shows up in National Weather Service records. On June 3, 2020, storms uprooted several trees near Churchville Park and brought down trees and large limbs in Holland. On August 7, 2019, lightning struck a house on Plumly Way and started a fire.
July is the wettest month here and February the snowiest, when nor'easters peak. Gutters full of leaves and seed pods are what turn a winter thaw into an ice dam at the eaves.
Services in Holland
What we do for Holland homes.
Roof Replacement in Holland
Full tear-off to the deck, ice and water shield at eaves, valleys and penetrations, and new drip edge, so the third roof on a 1970s house isn't sitting on the problems of the first two.
Free Roof Inspection in Holland
Free, about 45 to 60 minutes: attic first, then the roof, with a photo report that tells you whether a 1990s re-roof has years left or not.
Roof Repair in Holland
Limb strikes, lifted shingles and leaks at old chimney flashing, repaired with photos before and after and a written workmanship warranty on the area.
Storm Damage & Insurance Claims in Holland
A newer roof under heavy shade can take limb damage in a storm; we document it, write the scope your insurer reads and attend the adjuster meeting at no charge.

From our Google reviews
“Mission Roof recently replaced the roof on our house. Communication with Lori and Dave was great. We were kept informed of what would happen , and when. All of our questions were answered quickly. The crew completed the roof in one day, despite a passing thunderstorm with lightening! Clean up was so through, you couldn’t even tell they were here. We are very happy with the work and workmanship and would definitely recommend Mission to anyone.”

My Village Shires townhouse shares a roof with my neighbors. Can I replace just my section?
Sometimes, but the association decides that, not us. Many attached communities handle roofs as a group or set the shingle color and style. Check with your association first, then we can inspect your section, photograph it and give you a written scope you can take to the board.
My house was built in the 1970s and has two layers of shingles. Can you go over them?
We don't. A full tear-off is how we install, and it is the only way to see the deck. On houses that have carried two roofs, the plywood at the eaves is often where rot hides, and any sheet we replace is photographed and billed at the flat per-sheet rate in your contract.
A limb came down on my roof in a summer storm. Is that an insurance claim?
Often it is. Take photos, then call us for an inspection. If the damage supports a claim, we document it, meet your adjuster at no charge and submit supplements for hidden damage. We will never offer to waive or cover your deductible; that is insurance fraud in Pennsylvania.
Do you need a permit for a roof in Northampton Township?
We pull whatever permits the township requires for your job, and we don't start before they are in hand. Holland has no historic district, so there is no separate design review for a re-roof.
