Sellersville is a borough in Bucks County, on the north side of Souderton. The 2020 census counted 4,567 people. The ZIP is 18960, and the borough is small enough that most of its streets are within a short drive of the Souderton line.
It belongs to the group of small boroughs along the old North Penn rail corridor, where the housing is a mix of older streets and newer infill. That is a general pattern, not a survey. What it means for roofs is that age varies house to house, and a newer addition may sit beside a much older main roof.
The 2021 tornado that began near Souderton ended its path of roughly nine miles in neighboring Hilltown Township, so wind damage to shingles and flashing is a local concern here too.

Joints between older roofs and newer additions are a regular source of stains.

The borough is not in Montgomery County, unlike Souderton, so permit and inspection questions go to Sellersville's own borough office. Rules that apply in a Montgomery County town are not automatically the same here. Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code is the common base, and the borough office tells you what it means for your roof.
When you call the line, tell the roofer you are in Sellersville, Bucks County. They will confirm the permit step with the borough before a tear-off. We do not have a sourced list of the borough's requirements, and you should not assume one.
Infill is a newer house or an addition on an older lot. On those properties, one roof can have two ages: an older main section and a newer wing. The shingles may differ in colour, the pitch may change at the joint, and the flashing where they meet is a likely place for water to enter.
Tell the roofer about any additions and when they were built, if you know. The joint between old and new is checked first when a ceiling stain shows up near an addition. Read roof leak repair for what that visit looks like.
Close enough to share the weather. The EF-1 tornado in August 2021 began just south of Souderton and ended in Hilltown Township, with peak gusts over 100 mph, and Sellersville is a short way north of that whole track. We are not saying it hit Sellersville roofs, only that the borough sits in the same storm region.
A look at the roof from the ground after any strong wind is a good habit. Missing ridge caps, curled shingle edges and bent flashing are easy to spot with binoculars. See wind damage roof repair for what comes next.
Ask for the quote in writing, with the scope: which roof sections, which materials, what happens to old layers, and what is done about damaged decking. Ask who applies for the permit with Sellersville Borough, if one is needed, and who pays for it. Ask what the roofer expects to find and what changes if the roof is worse than it looks.
Pennsylvania's Attorney General's office registers home improvement contractors who do $5,000 or more of work a year on one- or two-family dwellings, and some boroughs and townships have rules of their own. Check with Sellersville Borough what it asks of contractors; we cannot say.
Ice dams form when snow melts over warm roof areas and refreezes at the eaves. The typical cause is warm air leaking into the attic from chimney chases, plumbing vents, light boxes and hatches, which is why published guides recommend sealing those leaks and adding insulation. About 20 inches of snow a year falls near Souderton, by third-party figures.
On older borough houses with additions, a warm room under a newer roof section can melt snow while the colder section next to it holds it. That is a general pattern, not an observed fact about Sellersville. See ice dam prevention and repair for the roofer's side of it.
