A one-square-mile township on the Delaware, with almost all of it inside Linwood. Roof replacement built for river weather.
Lower Chichester covers barely more than a square mile in the far south of the county, tucked between Marcus Hook, Trainer and the Delaware state line. Nearly all of the population lives in Linwood, on the eastern half. The housing is small and close together: twins, modest singles, short front slopes, rear additions with almost no pitch. Industry has been a neighbor here for a century.
On small roofs the details carry everything, so we spend our time on edge metal, valley work and the low-slope sections over kitchens and porches. Tear-offs on tight lots get staged so your neighbor’s driveway stays usable. Permits for roofing here are issued by Lower Chichester Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

If your house is in Lower Chichester Township, the township handles it, even though the mail comes addressed to Marcus Hook. Postal names and municipal boundaries do not line up in this corner of the county. We confirm the municipality before we file anything under the PA Uniform Construction Code.
That edge is almost certainly your windward side. Exposure toward the river puts constant pressure on rakes and starter courses, and once one course lifts the next goes with it. The fix is proper edge metal, the correct nailing pattern and a starter strip that is actually bonded down.
Shingles are not designed for that pitch. Low-slope sections over kitchens and back porches need a membrane such as EPDM or TPO, with the flashing carried up the wall behind the siding. We often do the steep roof in shingle and the flat section in membrane on the same job.
Most houses of this size are a one-day tear-off and install, weather permitting. Rear additions with low-slope sections can add a day because the membrane work is separate. We set up, protect the landscaping and the neighbor’s property, and haul everything out the same day we finish.
