Kennett Square on the envelope, East Marlborough on the deed. Roofing for the substantial houses along the US 1 corridor.
Longwood is the stretch of East Marlborough Township along US 1 that most people know for the gardens. Mail here carries a Kennett Square address, which leads plenty of homeowners to call the borough about a permit and get sent back out again. The housing is a mix: older frame and stone along the original road, larger homes on wooded lots, and some newer construction set back from the highway.
We sort the municipality out before anything else, because it sets the paperwork and the inspection. From there it is a normal replacement: deck inspection, new flashing, membrane at the eaves and valleys, architectural shingle and proper ventilation. The permit for a Longwood property is issued by East Marlborough Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing for homes and townhomes across the area.
Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Because Longwood addresses read Kennett Square, homeowners often start with the wrong office, and a permit application filed in the wrong place just costs everyone time.
Open frontage along US 1 puts more load on ridges and rake edges.
Mature trees behind the house drop debris into valleys and keep slopes damp.
Additions built over the years leave transitions that need rebuilding, not recovering.
East Marlborough Township issues the permit and carries out the inspection for Longwood.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Only if your house is actually inside the borough. Longwood addresses are generally in East Marlborough Township, and the township issues the permit and does the inspection under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We confirm the municipality from the parcel before filing anything.
Wind gets under the starter course at the rake and eave first, especially where there is open ground upwind. Once the edge is loose, the next storm works further in. Sealed starter strip and correct edge nailing are what stop that from repeating.
We recommend replacing the flashing kit at minimum, and replacing the unit itself if it is more than about twenty years old. Reusing old flashing on a new roof is the most common way a good replacement turns into a leak. We quote it either way so you choose.
Yes. You get a written scope that lists tear-off, deck repair allowance, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, shingle and cleanup, along with the warranty terms. Verbal quotes are how homeowners end up surprised. Our Wayne office at (267) 692-2511 handles Chester County estimates.
