A hundred-odd residents in a creek hollow off Fleecydale Road, in a village Solebury Township has deliberately kept from changing.
Carversville is a very small village in Solebury Township, gathered where the Paunacussing Creek runs down through the hollow toward Lumberville. The Carversville Historic District and the Carversville Stone Bridge are on the National Register, and Solebury Township has a historic district ordinance that has kept the village from being redeveloped. The general store and the inn at the center of it date back to the early nineteenth century, and so do a lot of the houses around them.
That means the paperwork matters as much as the shingles. Before we order anything we ask Solebury Township what applies to your parcel, because a visible change in a protected village can need more review than the same work a mile out of town. Solebury Township is the permitting authority under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

It can, which is why we ask before we order material. Solebury Township administers a historic district ordinance covering the village, and a change that is visible from the street may get more scrutiny than a like-for-like replacement. We contact the township with your address, find out exactly what applies, and tell you plainly what it means for material choice.
In a shaded hollow you manage it rather than eliminate it. Cleaning it off properly, trimming back what is shading the slope, and using algae-resistant shingles at replacement all help. Pressure washing does not, because it strips granules and shortens the roof. Zinc or copper strips at the ridge can slow regrowth on a roof with life left.
Often yes, and in a protected village that is usually the preferred answer. Slates that have slipped because of failed nails can be reset with hooks using matched salvage stock. What decides it is whether the nailing has gone across the whole roof or only in patches, and we can tell you that after a close look.
Solebury Township, for the part of the village on that side, with a small portion of Carversville extending into Plumstead Township. We confirm the parcel first. Either township issues the permit under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and inspects the finished work, and there is no county permit involved.
