Lionville is a place, not a government. Permits, inspections and code questions all run through Uwchlan Township.
Lionville grew up where Route 100 crosses Route 113 and did most of its building between 1820 and 1870, which is why the village core carries a historic district. Everything around it is Uwchlan Township: Marchwood, Liongate, Eagleview, Uwchlan Hunt and the rest, mostly 1960s through 2000s. Downingtown Area schools serve it, and the Struble Trail has its northern end nearby.
The practical consequence for a homeowner is administrative. Your address says Lionville and your permit says Uwchlan. We confirm the municipality, file there, and schedule the inspection with the township code office. Roof permits for Lionville properties are issued by Uwchlan Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Older skylights on the 1970s and 1980s houses leak at the curb, not the glass.

Uwchlan Township. Lionville is a named place and a mailing address, not a borough or a township, so there is no Lionville permit office to go to. Uwchlan Township administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code for all of these properties, and we file the application with the township.
If they are more than about twenty years old, yes, and it is much cheaper while the roof is open. Older units leak at the curb and the seal rather than the glass, and flashing a new unit into a new roof is one operation. Reusing an old skylight under a new roof is how you get a callback.
It is loud and it vibrates. Plan on a full working day of hammering overhead, dust in the attic, and a dumpster in the driveway. We tarp landscaping and beds, magnet-sweep for nails at the end of each day, and keep the driveway clear enough to get a car out if you need one.
Often the roof edge is. With no drip edge or gutter apron, water coming off the last course wicks back behind the gutter and soaks the fascia, so the gutter looks like the culprit while the detail above it is the cause. We install edge metal on every replacement for that reason.
