Stone twins, slate hips and deep Main Line canopy. Roof work in Lower Merion that respects what the original builders detailed.
Lower Merion is one of the oldest suburban townships in Pennsylvania, and the housing shows it. Stone and stucco twins run through Ardmore and Wynnewood, larger center-hall houses sit back on shaded lots in Gladwyne and Penn Valley, and a lot of it was roofed originally in slate. Pitches are steep. Dormers, turrets and tight valleys are common. Very little of this stock was built to be simple to re-roof.
We work these houses as they are. That means slate repair where the field is sound, matched replacement where it is not, copper or lead-coated flashing at the sidewalls and chimneys, and architectural asphalt where a previous owner already converted. Permits for residential roof work go through Lower Merion Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Most calls here start at a chimney, a valley or a sidewall rather than in the open field, because the slate itself outlasts the metal around it.
Individual slates let go while the rest of the roof still has decades left.
Galvanized step and chimney flashing rusts through long before the slate above it does.
Deep overhangs and shaded north slopes hold ice and back water under the courses.
Roof permits are issued by Lower Merion Township, not by Montgomery County.

Often, yes. If the slate is sound and only a few pieces have slipped, targeted repair plus new flashing buys years without touching the rest of the roof. We tell you which one you are looking at after we get on the roof, not before.
Yes. Lower Merion Township issues the permit for residential re-roofing under the PA Uniform Construction Code, and we file it as part of the job. You do not deal with the county for this, and you do not need to chase the paperwork yourself.
That is usually attic heat and ventilation, not sun. Warm air under the deck melts snow from below, the water runs to the cold eave and refreezes, and you get ice damming. Fixing the ventilation matters as much as the underlayment does.
It usually does. Previous work leaves clues: wood added over the original deck, flashing cut short at the stone, or asphalt laid where slate used to be. We look for that first, because the last roofer’s shortcuts are what the next roof has to live with.
