A small Main Line stop between Berwyn and Paoli. Most of the roofs here have been replaced before, and that history shows.
Daylesford is a handful of streets around a commuter rail stop in Tredyffrin Township, between Berwyn and Paoli. It is small enough that it has no separate government and no commercial strip. The houses date mostly from the first half of the twentieth century, which means the roof on your house is probably the second or third one, and the work of two or three previous crews is layered underneath it.
That history is what we inspect for: reused flashing, nails driven through old holes, a valley shingled over instead of rebuilt, soft boards patched from above. We tear off to the deck so those things stop being inherited. The permit for the work comes from Tredyffrin Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Reused step flashing, overdriven nails and valleys that were covered rather than rebuilt are the most common problems we find on a house that has been roofed twice.
Old flashing bent back into place rarely seals a second time.
Boards split by three rounds of nails need replacing, not another layer over them.
Valleys get opened up and rebuilt with membrane and metal, not shingled over.
Tredyffrin Township, not the county, issues your permit and sends the inspector.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
We can usually tell from the edge. A thick, stepped build-up at the rake or a shingle line that sits high against the siding points to more than one layer. A short inspection settles it, and it changes both the tear-off plan and the disposal.
You need a permit from Tredyffrin Township, which administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code for Daylesford. Chester County does not issue it. We file the application, keep the permit on site and coordinate the inspection, so the paperwork is not your job.
Those strips usually follow rafters or a gap in the insulation, and they mean heat is leaving the house into the attic. That heat melts snow, the water refreezes at the cold eave, and ice builds. Ventilation and air sealing matter as much as the shingle.
We will when it makes sense, and we will tell you when it does not. Matching a new slope to a weathered one never looks seamless, and if both slopes are the same age you are paying mobilization twice. Call our Wayne office at (267) 692-2511.
