An old crossing on the Schuylkill in East Coventry Township. Roofing for river-road houses that have seen a few winters.
Parker Ford sits along the Schuylkill in East Coventry Township, on the road between Pottstown and Phoenixville. The name is older than anything standing. Housing here is mostly modest and mostly older: frame and brick homes near the river road, porches added on, rear ells and summer kitchens folded into the main house over the years. Newer building sits back on the higher ground.
On houses that grew in pieces, the seams between the pieces are where water gets in. We rebuild those transitions instead of shingling across them, put membrane along the eaves where ice forms, and get real intake into the attic. Roofing permits for Parker Ford are issued by East Coventry Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Every porch, ell and shed addition creates a place where a roof plane dies into a wall, and those are the details that fail long before open slopes do.
Where a lower roof meets a wall, flashing has to be layered in properly.
River-road houses ice at the overhang, so membrane goes well up the slope.
Shallow porch roofs over living space need a membrane, not three-tab shingle.
East Coventry Township issues the roofing permit and inspects the completed work.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
It usually starts inside. Heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the main roof, the water runs onto the cold porch and freezes there. Ice-and-water membrane on the porch, a proper wall flashing, and better attic ventilation and air sealing address the cause rather than the symptom.
East Coventry Township. Parker Ford is a place name within the township, so the township code office handles the permit and the inspection under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and Chester County does not. We file the application and meet the inspector when the job is finished.
Yes, in our view. Layering hides the deck, adds weight, and gives the new nails nothing solid to bite. On a house of this age the deck is exactly what needs inspecting. We tear off to the boards, replace what is bad, and build back properly.
Yes. We plan the dumpster, the drop zone and traffic protection before the crew arrives, and we keep the shoulder and sidewalk clear through the job. Scheduling for Chester County runs through our Wayne office at (267) 692-2511.
