Radnor Township’s close-built corner, with Victorian frame and brick duplexes on small lots. Roof replacement for older rooflines.
Garrett Hill is the denser part of Radnor Township, a hill of late nineteenth and early twentieth century houses between Villanova and Rosemont. Welsh settlers were here in 1682; the current name came from the quarry and brickyard that worked the hill later. The housing is frame and brick duplexes and singles, Victorian in detail, steep roofs with cut-in dormers, porches wrapping the front. The high speed line stops in the middle of it.
Victorian rooflines have more joints than modern ones, and on a duplex they run straight into the neighbor’s. We rebuild the flashing at each dormer, valley and party wall rather than sealing over it. Roofing permits for Garrett Hill are issued by Radnor Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Yes. Garrett Hill is a neighborhood within Radnor Township, so the roofing permit, the inspection and code enforcement all go through Radnor Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code, even though the mail carries a Bryn Mawr ZIP code. We file the permit before the work starts.
Because that is where the details stack up. A cut-in dormer has cheek walls, a small roof of its own, and step flashing where it meets the main slope, and on a house of this age that metal is often original or was replaced with sealant. Rebuilding it usually solves the leak.
That is workable. We terminate at the party wall and cap it so your side is protected regardless of when the other half is done. Neighbors sometimes coordinate because doing both at once is slightly cheaper, but there is no need to wait on anyone.
It can, and on a frame house it is usually the sensible choice. We use a heavier profile so the roof does not look thin, keep the original metal work where it is sound, and hold the ridge, eave and porch return lines. The details are what read as period, not the shingle itself.
