A village named for the university at its center, inside Lower Oxford Township. Roof replacement for older homes along the Baltimore Pike.
Lincoln University is the place name that grew up around the university of the same name, on the Baltimore Pike in Lower Oxford Township. The surrounding housing is a mix: nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century houses near the campus and the old crossroads, farm properties on the lanes behind, and newer homes on larger parcels. The village is not a municipality, which matters when paperwork is involved.
Older houses here often carry slate or a shingle roof laid over slate, and steep pitch changes both the method and the safety plan. We tear off to the deck, repair boards, flash the chimneys properly and vent the attic. Residential roofing permits for this address are issued by Lower Oxford Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Pitches on pre-war houses around the campus often exceed nine in twelve, which slows the work, changes the staging and rules out shortcuts at the ridge.
Some houses have an asphalt roof laid over original slate, which changes tear-off.
Roof jacks, staging and fall protection are part of the price on these houses.
Old brick and multiple dormers mean many transitions, and every one has to be flashed.
Lower Oxford Township issues the roofing permit for Lincoln University addresses, not the county.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
From Lower Oxford Township. Lincoln University is a census-designated place and a postal name rather than its own borough or township, so Lower Oxford is the code official under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We file the application there and coordinate the inspection so nothing is left open.
You can go back with asphalt over a clean deck once the slate and old fasteners are removed, or restore slate where enough of it is sound. Slate costs considerably more and needs framing that can carry it. We will tell you which route the house actually supports.
They shed water faster, so the field of the roof is generally more forgiving. What steep roofs punish is detail work at valleys, dormers and chimneys, where water moves quickly and finds any gap. They also cost more to work on safely, which is worth knowing before you get quotes.
We prefer to walk the roof and the attic, because the deck and ventilation decide half the job. If you cannot be there we can inspect the exterior, photograph what we find and go through it with you afterward. Call the Wayne office at (267) 692-2511 to set a time.
