A working village in New Garden Township named for the clay dug beneath it. Practical roofing for practical buildings.
Kaolin takes its name from the white clay that was dug here, and it sits in New Garden Township in the middle of the county’s mushroom country. The buildings reflect that: modest twentieth-century houses, older frame homes, and a lot of low-slope roofs on sheds, garages and service structures. Route 41 traffic and the growing operations nearby set the tone more than any subdivision does.
That means a practical approach: architectural shingle where the pitch allows it, single-ply membrane where it does not, and painted metal on porches and low additions. No upselling a house that does not need it. Roofing permits for Kaolin are issued by New Garden Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

A slope shallow enough to hold water will fail under shingle no matter how good the shingle is, and a good share of the roofs here are exactly that shallow.
Below a certain pitch, shingle stops shedding and a membrane has to take over.
Painted standing seam sheds water and snow where a shallow shingle roof cannot.
We separate what must be done now from what can honestly wait a while.
New Garden Township issues the roofing permit and inspects the completed work.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
As a rule, shingle needs real pitch to shed water, and on very shallow roofs it simply will not. Below that point the right system is a single-ply membrane like EPDM or TPO, or standing-seam metal. We measure the pitch and tell you which category your roof falls into.
From New Garden Township, which administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code for Kaolin and the rest of the township. The county does not issue it, and neither does any post office name on your mail. We file the application and handle the inspection appointment.
Often yes, and we will tell you honestly if that is a reasonable plan. A single bad slope, a failed pipe boot or a rusted valley can be dealt with on its own. What we will not do is take money for a repair we expect to fail by next winter.
Yes, and on a property with several small roofs it is usually cheaper to do them together. One mobilization, one dumpster, one inspection. Our Wayne office at (267) 692-2511 covers Chester County and can quote the whole property at once.
