The township wraps Kennett Square borough on three sides, so the mailing address and the code official almost never match.
Kennett Township surrounds Kennett Square borough on three sides and runs south and east toward Longwood Gardens. Hamorton is the old crossroads at Baltimore Pike and Route 52. Mushroom operations still work the ground off Route 82. Housing is mixed: stone farmhouses, mid-century ranches near Burrows Run, and newer clusters like Longwood Crossing and Victoria Gardens. Nearly all of it carries a Kennett Square mailing address.
That address causes real confusion when it is time to pull a permit, so we confirm the municipality from the parcel before filing anything. On the roof itself the work is straightforward: full tear off, ice and water at the eaves and valleys, ventilation corrected. Roof permits for township properties are issued by Kennett Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.

Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.

Homeowners a half mile outside the borough line often assume the borough handles their permit, and a misfiled application costs weeks before any shingle comes off.
Original slate on the older stone houses needs matched repair, not a shingle overlay.
Shallow eaves on mid-century ranches leave little room for ice and water membrane.
Roofs standing above open mushroom fields take wind that sheltered streets never see.
Township properties permit through Kennett Township, not Kennett Square borough.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

It depends which side of the borough line your parcel sits on. Kennett Square borough covers roughly one square mile; everything around it is Kennett Township, and the township issues its own permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We check the parcel before filing so the application lands in the right office.
If the slate is sound and the failures are at the flashing plus a scattering of broken pieces, repair is the better value and keeps the roof matched. Slate outlasts any asphalt product by a wide margin. If the nails have failed throughout, that is a different conversation, and we will walk the roof and tell you which one you are in.
Open ground around the house is usually the reason. Fields and low mushroom houses give wind a clean run at the roof, and it finds the edge first, so the rake and eave courses go before anything in the field of the roof. Sealed starter strip, six-nail fastening and properly set edge metal are what hold.
Most single-family roofs here are a one-day tear off and install, two days if the deck needs significant replacement or the house is large and cut up with dormers. Weather moves schedules more than anything else. We stage material and dumpster placement the day before so the crew is not losing daylight.
