Fieldstone farmhouses on narrow roads above Buck Run, with the steep pitches and original slate that era of building produced.
East Fallowfield spreads south and west of Coatesville, with Route 82 running down Doe Run Road through the middle of it. Ercildoun grew up around an 1811 Friends meeting, and Glen Rose and Doe Run were mill hamlets on Buck Run. The stone houses in those clusters are steep-pitched and were slate from the start. Newer developments sit on the former farm ground between them.
Steep is good for shedding water and hard for everything else. We stage and anchor properly rather than rushing a pitch that will not allow it, repair slate where it is repairable, and rebuild valley and chimney metal instead of sealing over it. The permit for roof work comes from East Fallowfield Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Water moving fast down a steep plane finds any gap at a chimney, dormer or valley, and it gets in behind the shingle before it ever reaches the gutter.
Wide chimneys on steep roofs need a built cricket to divert water around them.
Step flashing woven into each course is the only detail that holds at a dormer.
Slate on the older stone houses is often repairable long past what owners expect.
East Fallowfield Township issues the roof permit under the state construction code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

It does, because a steep pitch means roof jacks, staging and slower going, and on the highest pitches a crew cannot carry material by hand at all. Expect a labor premium over a walkable roof. The upside is that steep roofs shed water and snow well and tend to last longer for it.
Yes, rural address and same rules. East Fallowfield Township administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and issues the permit for residential roof replacement. We file it, post it, and coordinate the inspection, and we will not start a tear off before it is in hand.
That is almost always the flashing, not the shingle. A masonry chimney needs step flashing up the sides, an apron at the front, counterflashing let into the mortar joints, and on a wide chimney a cricket behind it. Sealant smeared over old metal buys a season and then fails again.
Often yes, and it is usually cheaper to do both while the crew and the dumpster are already on site. Outbuildings on these properties tend to be low slope or standing seam metal rather than shingle, so the material and the price are different. We look at both and quote them separately.
