Open Oxford-area farm country around Lincoln University, where a lot of the older houses are on their second or third roof.
Lower Oxford spreads out south and west of Oxford borough, a township of working fields, long lanes and scattered stone and frame houses. Lincoln University sits in the middle of it and gives the township its post office name. Much of the residential stock here predates the war by a long way, which means many of these roofs have already been replaced once or twice, sometimes by laying new shingles straight over old.
We strip to the deck rather than add another layer. That is the only way to see rot at the eaves, sheathing that has gone soft under an old valley, or fastening that never had anything solid to bite. Once the deck is sound the new system goes on properly. Permits for these addresses come from Lower Oxford Township.
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.
Layers hide problems, and on houses this old the decking, the eaves and the old flashing tell you more about the next roof than the shingles do.
Shingles laid over old ones hide soft decking and add weight the framing never carried.
Long-term leaks rot the first few feet of sheathing above the gutter line.
With fields on every side, wind and driven rain work on the rake edges first.
Lower Oxford Township issues the roofing permit under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
We do not. A third layer buries whatever is wrong underneath, adds weight, and never lies flat enough to seal properly. On older Lower Oxford houses the interesting problems are almost always in the deck and the eaves, and you cannot find them without a full tear-off.
Lower Oxford Township does, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. A Lincoln University mailing address does not change that, and Chester County is not involved in residential building permits. We file it, post it and meet the inspector so you are not chasing it.
It usually is. Water that has been backing up at the eaves for years takes out the fascia and the outer strip of sheathing. We replace what is soft before the underlayment goes down, and we tell you what we found rather than shingling over it.
Sometimes. If the slate is sound and the failures are in the flashing and the nails, a repair can buy real years. If the slate itself is delaminating across whole slopes, replacement is the honest answer, and we will tell you which of the two you have.
