Route 202 meets Route 263 here, and behind the shops are fieldstone houses with steep pitches, slate sections and low-slope porch roofs.
Lahaska grew along Old York Road, now Route 202, at the junction with Route 263. Peddler’s Village is the landmark, but the housing around it is older and quieter: eighteenth and nineteenth century fieldstone, frame farmhouses set back on long drives, and newer homes on subdivided parcels. The village straddles the Buckingham and Solebury township line. Pitches are steep, eaves are shallow, and there are more porch and bay roofs per house than in newer parts of the county.
Roofs like these rarely want one material. A steep main slope takes architectural asphalt well, a porch or bay is often better in standing-seam metal, and a surviving slate section needs a decision rather than a guess. We detail those transitions instead of caulking them. Permits go to Buckingham Township or Solebury Township, depending which side of the line holds your address.

Houses of this age often carry two or three roof materials at once, and the places where those materials meet are where most leaks actually begin.
Surviving slate needs a real decision about repair, replacement or a change of material.
Low-slope porch and bay roofs want metal or membrane, not asphalt shingle.
Steep old pitches call for staging and fall protection before any shingle comes off.

Whichever one your parcel sits in, and we check that before anything else. Buckingham Township and Solebury Township each issue their own roof permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and there is no county permit involved. Once we know the parcel, we file with that office and schedule the inspection for the finished work.
No, but the framing has a say. A structure built to carry slate can carry it again, while switching to architectural asphalt lightens the load and changes how the eaves, valleys and rakes get detailed. We look at the rafters, the existing flashing and the condition of the slate before recommending either direction.
That joint is almost always the problem on an old stone house. A low-slope porch roof drains slowly, and where it meets a stone wall the flashing has to be set into the masonry rather than sealed against it. Caulk buys a season. Proper counterflashing and a metal or membrane porch surface is the actual repair.
Protection is planned before the first shingle comes off. We tarp and board the ground along the walls, keep debris away from the stone and pointing, and stage the dumpster where the truck is not driving over root zones. On tight village lots that usually means more hand carrying and a longer day.
