Built up around the station on Lancaster Avenue, with steep pre-war roofs that started out as slate or cedar rather than asphalt.
Paoli sits along Lancaster Avenue at the west end of the Main Line, built up around the railroad and still anchored by the station. Most of Paoli lies in Tredyffrin Township, in the Tredyffrin/Easttown district. The older housing runs to stone and stucco twins and singles from the 1900s through the 1930s, steep-roofed, with third-floor dormers and slate or cedar to begin with. Daylesford, Green Hills and Springdell sit around it.
Pre-war roofs are steep, cut up, and usually on their second or third covering. We look at what is under the asphalt, replace deck where old slate nails and repeated tear-offs have chewed it up, and rebuild dormer and chimney metal properly. Permits for Paoli properties in Tredyffrin are issued by Tredyffrin Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Pre-war houses carry dormers, hips and turret returns on steep pitches, and every one of those is a flashing joint older than the roof currently over it.
Many of these roofs still have original slate or its nails under the asphalt.
Step flashing on dormer sides is the single most common failure on this stock.
Board sheathing with two prior tear-offs often will not hold a new nail.
Paoli addresses in Tredyffrin permit through Tredyffrin Township, not through a Paoli office.

No. Paoli is a census place without its own government, and most of it sits in Tredyffrin Township, which issues the building permit for roof replacement under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Part of the Paoli area falls in a neighboring township, so we verify the parcel before filing anything.
It changes the tear off and sometimes the deck. Slate was nailed into board sheathing, and pulling a layer of asphalt off that assembly often exposes split boards and old nail holes. Expect some sheathing replacement, and expect the disposal weight to be higher if the slate is still up there.
You can get close. Synthetic slate panels hold the thickness and shadow line that flat asphalt cannot, and a heavy designer shingle reads reasonably well from the street at a fraction of real slate. We show you all three against the house, since stone and stucco colors change how each one looks.
Yes, and the roof is only part of it. Ice and water membrane carried well up from the eaves protects the vulnerable area, but the cause is heat escaping into the attic and melting snow above a cold eave. Air sealing, insulation and real intake ventilation are what stop the dam from forming.
