Southern Chester County farmland with newer housing clustered near Jennersville. Two very different kinds of roof in one township.
Penn Township sits in the southern end of Chester County, built around nursery ground and open farmland. Jennersville is the center of gravity, with the hospital, the shopping and most of the newer residential building. Move a mile out toward Lewisville or Kelton and the housing changes to farmhouses, additions and outbuildings on large lots. Those two kinds of property age on completely different schedules.
We measure each roof for what it actually is. Farmhouse stock usually means several roof planes meeting at odd angles, so valley and flashing work carries the job. Newer builds get checked at the fastening and the eaves. Residential replacement permits for any address here are issued by Penn Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Wind crosses these fields without much to slow it, and the older houses here have been added onto enough that most of the trouble shows up where planes meet.
Additions built in stages leave seams where two roof planes were never properly tied.
Open farmland gives gusts a clean run at ridge caps and starter courses.
Freeze-thaw cycling backs water up under shingles unless the underlayment reaches far enough.
Roof replacement permits come from Penn Township, not from Chester County.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Yes. Residential roof replacement is permitted by Penn Township itself under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, not by Chester County. We pull the permit as part of the job and handle the paperwork and the inspection scheduling, so the only thing you have to do is pick a start date.
Usually, and it is generally the better choice. Older houses out here grew by addition, and the weak points sit where an older plane meets a newer one. Doing the whole roof in one pass lets us rebuild those junctions properly instead of patching around an old flashing detail.
Exposure. With open fields on most sides of Penn Township there is little to break the wind before it reaches your roof, and the ridge and the first course at the rakes take the worst of it. A correct nailing pattern and a ridge product rated for the exposure fix it for good.
Most single-family roofs in this area are a one to two day tear-off and install once materials are on site. Larger farmhouse roofs with several sections can run longer. We give you the schedule before we start, and we do not leave a roof open overnight.
