Stone houses on steep ground between West Chester and the Brandywine, plus the trolley-era streets that came in around 1902.
East Bradford drops toward the Brandywine in long wooded hillsides, and the building followed the water and then the rail. Stone houses in the English and Swiss German tradition sit along the older roads near Copesville and Strodes Mill. Suburban streets appeared near the railroad in the 1880s and again with the trolley around 1902. Everything after that is subdivision, from Radley Run to Bradford Chase.
Steep ground and heavy tree cover mean water and debris move fast and land hard. We size drainage, keep valleys open, set metal where the pitch changes, and replace decking that has softened on the shaded slopes. East Bradford Township issues the roofing permit and inspects the work under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

A long slope delivers more water per foot of gutter than most systems handle.
Slopes that never dry hold moss and moisture and age faster than the rest.
Counterflashing cut into stone joints outlasts anything surface-sealed against the wall.

East Bradford Township, if the parcel is in the township rather than the borough. The West Chester postal area covers a large part of East Bradford, and the municipality on the deed is what decides the permitting authority. The township issues the permit and inspects the finished roof.
On a long slope that is usually capacity, not blockage. A roof plane running thirty or forty feet delivers a great deal of water to a short length of gutter, and standard sizing cannot keep up in a downpour. Larger gutters, more downspouts and a properly detailed eave solve it together.
Very likely. A slope that stays shaded holds moisture, grows moss and algae, and loses granules faster than the sunny side of the same roof. That is normal rather than alarming, but it means the north slopes usually set the timeline for when the whole roof needs replacing.
Properly, which means cutting counterflashing into the mortar joints and layering step flashing under the courses as they go up. Sealant smeared over old metal is what fails a year later. On stone and brick we also check the crown and the pointing, because a leak there is often not the roof at all.
