Open horse country where Route 100 meets Route 401. Wind gets at these roofs from every direction, starting at the edges.
Ludwigs Corner is the crossroads where Route 100 meets Route 401 in Upper Uwchlan Township, known locally for the horse show grounds. The land is high and open. Houses sit on large lots with long views and very little shelter, a mix of older farm properties, barns and stables, and larger homes built since the 1990s. What the fields do not block, your roof takes.
Wind damage almost always begins at an edge, so we start there: starter course, rake edge, ridge cap and the nailing pattern under all of it. Barn and stable roofs get looked at in the same visit, because they are usually further gone. The permit for roof work comes from Upper Uwchlan 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.
On an exposed ridge a storm gets under the starter course and the rake edge first, and each following storm works a little further into the field of the roof.
Edges and ridge caps are checked before anything else on an open lot.
Nail count and placement decide whether shingles stay down in a nor’easter.
Outbuilding roofs here are usually older, larger and further along than the house.
Upper Uwchlan Township issues the roofing permit and inspects the finished work.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Not necessarily. If the damage is confined to an edge and the rest of the roof still has granule cover and pliable shingles, a repair with correct starter and edge nailing is reasonable. If shingles lifted in several places, the fastening is probably the problem everywhere.
Yes, for a replacement. Upper Uwchlan Township administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and issues roofing permits for Ludwigs Corner, and the county does not. We file the application, post the permit on site and meet the township inspector when the work is done.
Yes. Agricultural buildings out here are often metal and often overdue, and standing seam or exposed-fastener metal is usually the right replacement. We look at them while we are on the property and quote them separately from the house so you can sequence the spending.
It changes the installation more than the product. We use a sealed starter strip at the eaves and rakes, a higher nail count in the exposed zones, and a ridge cap rated for the wind speed. Our Wayne office at (267) 692-2511 covers Chester County.
