Stone twins and colonials from the nineteen-twenties, inside Haverford Township. Roof replacement that respects the original detail.
Llanerch is the older half of this part of Haverford Township, built out in the nineteen-twenties along Darby Road and the streets around the country club. Stone and stucco twins, center-hall colonials, steep gables, slate on the houses that still have it, copper in the valleys and on the bays. It is a different building era from the capes a mile up West Chester Pike.
On a house like this the flashing is the job. We cut counter flashing into masonry instead of sealing against it, keep serviceable copper, and match the shingle weight to the pitch so the roof still reads right. Roofing permits for Llanerch are issued by Haverford Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

On a stucco or stone house those are often the same problem. Water enters at a failed roof-to-wall flashing, runs down behind the wall surface, and appears well below and away from the entry point. We check counter flashing, chimney work and window heads before assuming the roof field is at fault.
Haverford Township. Llanerch is a neighborhood name, not a municipality, so the permit, the inspections and code enforcement run through the township under the PA Uniform Construction Code. We file it before the job starts and meet the inspector at the end.
That usually means a previous repair took the easy path. You can keep going that way, restore the slate section, or take the whole roof to a heavy architectural shingle for consistency. We price all three honestly, because the right answer depends on the condition of the slate, not on a preference.
Often yes. Copper that is intact and properly soldered can outlast several shingle roofs, and re-using it keeps the look of the house. We check the seams and the terminations, and if it has to be replaced we say so rather than discovering it halfway through.
