A Delaware River hamlet in Tinicum Township with a covered bridge and a stone mill, and houses that grew a wing at a time.
Erwinna lies along River Road in Tinicum Township, with the Erwinna Covered Bridge over Lodi Creek, Stover Mill and the Isaac Stover House among the properties on the National Register. Houses here were built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and then extended, often more than once. You get an original stone block, a frame wing from fifty years later, a kitchen ell from fifty years after that, and a twentieth century porch or sunroom tacked on the end.
That history is written on the roof. Each addition meets the last at a different height and pitch, and those junctions are where nearly every leak starts. We take those transitions apart, build step and counterflashing into courses, and pick the right surface for each plane. Tinicum Township is the permitting authority under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

When one house carries four roof planes built across two hundred years, the flashing at each meeting point is doing more work than any shingle on it.
Where a steep original meets a shallow ell, the transition needs metal rather than shingle.
Roof-to-wall junctions have to be flashed course by course, never sealed afterward.
Hand-hewn rafters and later dimensional lumber move at different rates under load.

Because that junction is the hardest part of the roof and the part most often done badly. Water running down the main slope has to be redirected out and away where it meets the addition wall, and that takes flashing built into the shingle courses. Sealant over the top of a bad detail buys a season or two at most.
Tinicum Township. Erwinna is an unincorporated village, so the township handles the application and the inspection under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and Bucks County has no role. We file it as part of the job and schedule the inspection once the work is complete so nothing is left open on your property record.
Not necessarily, and on a house like this it can be the wrong goal. A steep main slope suits architectural asphalt, a shallow ell may need standing seam or membrane, and a porch roof is often best in metal. We match colors where they are seen together and choose the right material for each plane.
Usually yes, and often better than you would guess, but we look before we load. What we check is sag along the ridge, any split or insect damage at bearing points, and whether a previous owner cut into a rafter for a chimney or a skylight. If something needs sistering we tell you before the shingles go on.
