The Delaware County seat, platted on a grid around the courthouse in 1850. Roofing for Media’s Victorian blocks and its newer infill twins and townhomes.
Media was laid out in 1850 as the new county seat, four farms bought by the county and platted on a grid around the courthouse. That grid still reads in the roofs. Queen Anne and Colonial Revival houses, American Foursquares and twins with steep pitches, dormers and cut valleys sit on the older streets, some still under natural slate. Outer blocks turn to mid-century detached homes, and recent infill at Hickory Hill and Trinity Walk added townhomes and condos.
We match what is there: slate repaired or replaced in kind, synthetic slate where budget says so, architectural asphalt on plainer blocks, standing-seam metal on porch roofs and bays. Media has historic districts and a Historic Architectural Review Board, so material and color can need a certificate of appropriateness. Permits go through Media Borough’s code enforcement office, and we handle the HARB step first.

The blocks nearest the courthouse carry 19th-century pitches, dormers and valleys where snow sits, and those details fail long before the field of the roof does.
Sound slate gets repaired, and we replace in kind or in synthetic when it cannot be saved.
Work in a historic district can need a certificate of appropriateness before material and color are set.
Open valleys, dormer cheeks and step flashing get rebuilt rather than caulked over.
Media Borough issues the roofing permit, not the county, and we close it out.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

If your house sits in one of Media Borough’s historic districts, exterior changes can require a certificate of appropriateness, and the Historic Architectural Review Board makes that recommendation. Roof material and color are the parts that get looked at. We check your address against the district map before quoting, and the borough permit is pulled either way.
Often no. If the slate itself is sound and the failures are at flashing, valleys or a scatter of slipped pieces, a slate repair is the honest fix and it buys years. When the nails and the slate are both gone, we price replacement in natural slate and in synthetic and let you choose on real numbers.
Warm air leaking into the attic melts the snow, the water refreezes at the cold eave, and the dam pushes water back under the shingles. The fix is air sealing and ventilation first, then ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys when the roof is replaced. New shingles on their own do not stop it.
Not shingles. Below roughly a 2:12 pitch, shingles cannot shed water, so the right system is an EPDM or TPO membrane, or standing-seam metal if you want it to look right from the street. We tie it into the main roof and counterflash at the wall, which is where most of these leaks actually start.
