A Main Line village that grew around its railroad station. Roofing for steep pre-war houses and the additions behind them.
Strafford sits on the old Pennsylvania Railroad main line in Tredyffrin Township, a short walk from its own station platform. Most of the housing went up between the 1890s and the 1930s, when the railroad made commuting possible: deep porches, steep slopes, third-floor dormers, and roofs with more planes than a modern builder would ever draw. Later ranch and split-level streets fill in behind them.
On a house this old the shingle is rarely the whole story. We look at dormer cheeks, chimney flashing, porch-to-wall transitions and the deck under all of it, then rebuild the details before new material goes on. Roofing permits in Strafford are issued by Tredyffrin Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Houses from the railroad era carry dormers, chimneys, porch roofs and rear additions, and nearly every leak we find on them starts at a junction rather than in the open field.
The vertical sides of a dormer take driving rain and are often the leak.
Old brick chimneys need flashing cut into the mortar, not sealant over the top.
Low-slope porches over living space are the wrong place for standard shingle.
Tredyffrin Township issues the roofing permit and schedules the inspection for Strafford addresses.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Almost always the dormer, not the field of the roof. The step flashing along the dormer cheek and the small valley where it meets the main slope are the first things to fail on these houses. A close look from a ladder usually finds it in an hour.
Yes. Tredyffrin Township administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and issues roofing permits for Strafford, and the county does not. We submit the application, post the permit on site and meet the township inspector, which keeps the job moving without you taking time off.
Sometimes, and it is worth asking before you tear off. Slate on a well-drained roof can be repaired piece by piece for decades. When the nails and the deck are gone, the honest options are new slate, a synthetic slate profile, or heavy architectural shingle.
With tarps, plywood over beds and a dumpster placed where the truck can reach it without crossing the lawn. On tight Strafford lots that planning is half the job. We walk the property first so you know exactly where everything will sit.
