A compact village on Route 41 in the heart of southern Chester County’s mushroom country. Roofing for tight village lots and older frame houses.
Toughkenamon is a small, dense village strung along Route 41 in New Garden Township, in the part of Chester County where mushroom growing has shaped the landscape and the community for over a century. The housing is modest and close-set: frame and brick twins, small singles, converted and expanded older houses, with porches and rear additions added over the years. Roof shapes are simple; the add-ons are not.
Most of the work here is a clean tear-off, a deck that needs some patching, new flashing where an addition meets the original wall, and a membrane on the flat rear roof. Architectural asphalt on the main slopes, EPDM or TPO where the pitch runs out. New Garden Township issues the roofing permit 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.
Village houses that gained a kitchen, a back room or an enclosed porch carry roof-to-wall junctions that were rarely flashed as carefully as the main roof.
Step and kickout flashing where an addition meets the house stops the common leaks.
Low-slope additions get single-ply membrane, since shingle cannot hold water at that pitch.
Narrow yards and close neighbors mean staged delivery and contained debris handling.

New Garden Township. Toughkenamon is a village and census-designated place inside the township, so the township is the code official under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and Chester County has no part in it. We handle the application and the inspection appointment as part of the job.
Yes, and it is one of the most common repairs we make on village houses. The junction needs proper step flashing tied into the siding, a kickout at the bottom so water leaves the wall instead of running behind it, and membrane if the addition roof is low slope. Patching with sealant only buys a season.
Not necessarily. Moss and algae grow where a slope stays shaded and damp, and they hold moisture against the shingle, which shortens its life. If the shingle is otherwise sound, cleaning carefully and cutting back overhanging limbs helps; if granules are gone, replacement with algae-resistant shingle is the answer.
Yes, and a good deal of the housing in villages like this one is rented or divided into units, so we quote those the same way we quote a single-family house. Access, tenant notice and scheduling need a little more planning. Call the Wayne office at (267) 692-2511 to arrange an inspection.
