Northern Chester County farm country around Glenmoore, where winters are a little harder on a roof than down county.
Wallace Township is preserved farmland and woods in the north of the county, with Glenmoore as its village and Springton Manor at its center. Houses are spread thin along Creek Road and Manor Road, a lot of them older stone and frame farmhouses, the rest large-lot building from the last few decades. It sits higher and colder than the southern townships, and snow lingers here after it has gone elsewhere.
That extra week or two of snow and freeze-thaw shows up at the eaves and in the valleys, so we build for it: ice-and-water underlayment carried well up the slope, proper intake and exhaust so the deck stays cold, and valley metal that can take a load of sliding snow. The permit for a Wallace Township property comes from Wallace Township.

Higher ground and more tree shade mean repeated freeze-thaw at the eaves, and that is what pushes water back under the first few courses.
Repeated thaw and refreeze at the gutter line drives water under the shingles.
Long slopes shed heavy snow onto porch roofs, valleys and gutters below.
Keeping the attic cold is what stops the melt that causes the ice.

Rarely as a first answer. Heat cable manages a symptom and costs money to run. The durable fix is ventilation and insulation so the deck stays cold, plus ice-and-water underlayment at the eaves and valleys. Cable makes sense only on the few stubborn spots that geometry will not let you solve.
Wallace Township, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Chester County does not issue residential building permits. A Glenmoore mailing address is still a Wallace Township parcel in most cases, and we verify that before applying so the paperwork matches the property.
Yes. Reinforcing the porch roof structure, adding snow retention on the slope above it, and rebuilding the valley and gutter details all help. The right combination depends on the pitch and the layout, and it is worth deciding while the main roof is being replaced.
Often, but not in every condition. Shingles need enough warmth to seal, and ice on a steep slope is a safety problem. We schedule around the weather, do repairs whenever they are needed, and will tell you plainly if a full replacement should wait a few weeks.
