Fieldstone farmhouses from Carversville to Lumberville, four hundred of them built in the 1700s and 1800s. Roofs here are rarely a simple shingle job.
Solebury wraps around New Hope from Aquetong up to Center Bridge and Lumberville, and more than four hundred of its houses were built in the 18th or 19th century. Fieldstone walls, steep gables, small dormers and later ells added one at a time. Slate, cedar shake and standing-seam metal all appear on the same road, sometimes on the same house.
We start by identifying every system on the house and where they meet, because the transitions leak long before the fields do. Counterflashing into stone, cedar that needs to breathe, metal that has to move, and asphalt on the newer wings all get specified separately. Solebury Township issues the roof permit under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

A Solebury house that grew over two centuries usually carries slate, metal and asphalt at once, and every place they meet is a place water tries to get in.
Original materials can often be repaired rather than stripped, if the fastening still holds.
Porch and bay metal expands and contracts, so fasteners and seams need room.
Flashing cut into stone chimneys and parapets instead of sealed against them.

Often yes, because slate outlives the nails that hold it, and a roof losing single slates can usually be repaired for decades more service. What ends a slate roof is widespread fastener failure or a deck that can no longer carry the weight. We look at the underside from the attic as well as the top before recommending anything.
The building permit comes from Solebury Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and we pull it for you. If your property carries its own deed restrictions or easements, those are separate from the permit and worth checking before materials are ordered. We will flag anything we see and let you confirm with the township.
Because most chimney flashing on old stone was sealed to the masonry rather than set into it. Sealant fails in a few freeze-thaw winters and water runs down the outside of the chimney into the roof. The durable repair is counterflashing cut into a mortar joint, with step flashing woven into the courses below.
Usually, and the question is whether matching is the right move. Cedar needs ventilation behind it and regular attention, which not every owner wants on a section they rarely see. Where appearance matters we match; where it does not, a synthetic or architectural asphalt on the back wing costs less and lasts longer with no upkeep.
