Thorndale, Gallagherville and the old Lincoln Highway stock, where most roofs have already been replaced at least once.
Caln runs along the old Lincoln Highway and the rail line, and Thorndale sits at the western end of the Paoli and Thorndale service. The housing is layered: nineteenth century mill and worker housing near Gallagherville and Fisherville, a broad band of post-war ranchers and capes, and newer courts around Bailey Station. Most of the older roofs have been replaced once already, some twice.
That history is the first thing we check. Old fastener patterns, buried flashing, decking that was patched instead of replaced, and vents cut in the wrong place all show up on a tear-off. We correct them rather than cover them. Caln Township issues the roofing permit and inspects the work under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing for homes and townhomes across the area.
Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Every reroof inherits the one before it, so we open the deck, check the sheathing and rebuild flashing rather than trusting what is already there.
Old step and chimney flashing hidden under shingles is a common source of slow leaks.
Sheathing repaired with mismatched board or thin plywood needs to be brought back flat.
Exposed lots at this end of the county take gusts that lift poorly fastened edge courses.
Caln Township issues the permit and performs the inspection, not Chester County.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

Caln Township. Pennsylvania permits construction at the municipal level under the Uniform Construction Code, so the township issues the permit and its inspector signs off, and Chester County is not involved. We file for you and schedule the inspection when the work is done.
Almost always, yes. Going over an existing layer hides whatever the last crew left, traps heat against the new shingles and voids most manufacturer coverage. A tear-off lets us see the decking, correct old flashing and start from a flat, sound surface.
Usually wind combined with weak fastening at the perimeter. Edges and rakes take the highest uplift pressure, and starter courses that were short-nailed or set back too far are the first to move. We fix it with proper starter, drip edge and a tighter fastening pattern along the perimeter.
Yes, and we do. A look at the rake edge, the eave thickness and the attic tells us how many layers are up there and what condition the decking is in. That changes labor, disposal and sometimes the decking allowance, so we would rather know before quoting than discover it mid-job.
