A West Chester mailing address, a township building code office, and street after street of 1960s and 1970s suburban roofs.
Most of West Goshen mails as West Chester, which confuses people when it is time to pull a permit. The township wraps the borough on the north and west, and it filled in fast: the 1950s through the 1970s turned farmland into Fern Hill, Green Hill, Glen Acres and the rest. Those houses are ranchers, splits and colonials with simple gable roofs and, by now, a second or third layer of history.
We strip to the deck, look at what the earlier crews left, and rebuild the details that leak: valleys, step flashing, pipe boots and the transition to any low-slope addition. Architectural asphalt is the usual system here. Permits come from West Goshen Township, not from West Chester Borough and not from the county.

When a roof was shingled over rather than stripped, rot and bad flashing stay buried, and the only honest way to find them is a tear-off.
Extra layers trap heat, hide soft decking and shorten the life of everything above.
Sunrooms and family room additions from that era often need EPDM rather than shingle.
Dark streaks on north slopes are algae, cosmetic at first and a sign of trapped moisture later.

Only if you are actually inside the borough. A West Chester mailing address covers a lot of West Goshen Township, and if your parcel is in the township the roofing permit comes from West Goshen Township under the state construction code. We confirm the municipality from the parcel before we file anything.
We can usually tell from the edge at the rake and the thickness at the eave, and the attic confirms it. Two layers are common on houses that were re-roofed in the 1990s. It matters because a second tear-off costs more in labor and disposal, and it often uncovers decking that should have been replaced the first time.
Algae. It grows on the slopes that stay damp and shaded, usually the north side, and it does not eat the shingle the way moss does. On a newer roof it is cosmetic and can be cleaned; on a roof past twenty years it usually means granule loss has already started.
We can, but a low-slope addition is not the same system as the main roof. Shingles on a shallow pitch are a leak waiting to happen, so those sections get EPDM or TPO membrane with the flashing tied properly into the wall above. The finished job looks deliberate rather than patched.
