A Main Line village that sits in two townships at once, and that is what decides who issues your roofing permit.
Berwyn straddles the boundary between Easttown and Tredyffrin townships, which is why two neighbors on the same street can answer to different municipal offices. The village grew along the Pennsylvania Railroad, and it still has two stations on the Paoli/Thorndale line. Housing runs from pre-war Main Line homes near the tracks to post-war and later infill further out, with a lot of substantial older stock in between.
Older Main Line houses tend to have steep pitches, deep eaves, slate or cedar history and complicated dormer work, and they reward careful flashing more than expensive shingles. We check the parcel first because the permit follows the township, not the Berwyn name: most Berwyn addresses are permitted by Easttown Township, and the rest by Tredyffrin Township.

Berwyn is a postal village rather than a municipality, so the permit and the inspector depend on whether the parcel sits in Easttown or Tredyffrin.
Pre-war Main Line roofs are steep and need staging rather than ladders alone.
Multiple dormers and wide overhangs give a roof many more places to leak.
Deep eaves over unheated overhangs freeze hard and push water back up the slope.
The permit comes from Easttown Township, or Tredyffrin for parcels north of the line.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
No. Berwyn is a postal and census name covering parts of Easttown and Tredyffrin townships, so there is no Berwyn municipal office. Whichever of the two your parcel falls in issues the building permit under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We identify it from the parcel before filing.
Three, honestly: repair the flashing and fasteners if the slate itself is sound, replace in slate or synthetic slate if you want the look kept, or move to a heavy architectural asphalt. Which one is right depends on the condition of the stone and the decking beneath it.
Dormers concentrate a lot of detail in a small area. The usual culprits are step flashing along the dormer cheek, a missing kick-out at the bottom, or failed head flashing over the window. These are targeted repairs and they rarely require replacing the whole roof.
Mostly the attic. Heat leaking upward melts snow that refreezes at the cold eave, and no shingle stops that. We look at insulation, at soffit intake and ridge exhaust, and we run ice-and-water underlayment high enough at the eaves to protect the deck while you address the rest.
