A compact old village on Route 82 in Chester County horse country. Roof work on period houses, cedar and slate, and metal porch roofs.
Unionville is a small village in East Marlborough Township, on Route 82 in the horse country north of Kennett Square. The village core is old and compact, with nineteenth-century frame and stone houses close to the road, and the surrounding township runs to large properties, paddocks and outbuildings. The Unionville name carries much further than the village does, because the school district borrowed it.
On period houses we work with what is there: cedar or slate where it survives, copper and standing-seam metal at porches and bays, architectural asphalt where a full replacement makes sense. Flashing into stone gets let into the wall, not sealed onto it. Permits for Unionville addresses are issued by East Marlborough 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.
Cedar shake and shingle split, cup and wear down to the nails after decades in this climate, and once the keyways open the roof is past patching.
We check thickness at the butts and the keyways before calling a cedar roof finished.
Porch, bay and dormer metal is often original and worth repairing in kind.
Counter flashing let into masonry outlasts anything sealed against a stone face.
East Marlborough Township issues and inspects the roofing permit for Unionville addresses.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
It depends on how much wood is left. Scattered broken shakes on an otherwise thick roof are worth replacing individually, but once the butts have worn thin and the keyways have opened up, water is getting past regardless of patching. We check from the attic as well as the surface before advising.
From East Marlborough Township, which administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code for Unionville addresses. Unionville is a census-designated place, not its own borough, and Chester County has no role in residential roofing permits. We submit the application and arrange the inspection as part of the job.
There are heavier architectural and designer profiles that read as slate or shake from the street, with shadow lines deep enough to avoid the flat look of a basic three-tab. On a period house the details matter as much as the shingle: metal valleys, proper ridge treatment and clean rake lines. We bring samples to the house.
Yes, and on properties with plantings, fencing or paddocks it gets planned in advance. We tarp beds, sheet the walls below the work area, keep debris contained rather than letting it fall where it likes, and magnet-sweep for nails at the end. Horses and loose roofing nails do not mix.
