A handful of old buildings where two narrow roads meet in West Vincent Township. Small village, careful roofing work.
Birchrunville is about as small as a place can be and still have a name: a store, a few dozen houses and a couple of lanes meeting near Birch Run in West Vincent Township. The buildings are old stone and frame, close to the road, with steep slopes and additions on the back. Most of them have been repaired many times by many different hands.
We open up the old repairs rather than covering them, because a patch over a patch is what usually causes the leak we were called about. Tear-off to the deck, new flashing, membrane at the eaves and valleys, then shingle. Roofing permits for Birchrunville are issued by West Vincent Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

A village house this old has usually been repaired by several different crews, and the cheapest fix each time has left a stack of details nobody can flash properly now.
Old patches get removed, not covered, so the new roof starts clean.
Plank decks under these roofs often need boards replaced during tear-off.
With the house on the lane, the dumpster and drop zone need planning.
West Vincent Township issues the roofing permit and inspects the work afterward.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
West Vincent Township. The village has no government of its own, so the township code office issues the roofing permit and performs the inspection under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Chester County has no role. We file the paperwork and meet the inspector at the end.
That pattern points at a vertical surface rather than the slope: a sidewall, a dormer cheek or a chimney. Water running down a wall gets behind flashing that handles ordinary rain fine. We look at those junctions first when a leak only shows up in wind-driven weather.
Partly. Edges, penetrations and the attic side tell us a lot, and an inspection with photographs usually identifies the layers and the patching. The rest shows up at tear-off, which is why our quotes include a stated allowance for deck repair rather than a surprise.
Yes. A village house is a smaller roof, not a lesser job, and the details on an old building take more care than a new one. We quote it the same way, in writing. Our Wayne office at (267) 692-2511 schedules Chester County work.
