Local Roofing In West Bradford

Shade is hard on a roof

West Bradford sits between the two branches of the Brandywine, and Strasburg Road still runs through the old crossroads at Marshallton and Romansville. Farmsteads, springhouses and stone houses from the seventeen and eighteen hundreds remain, with subdivisions like Bradford Woods and Tattersall filling in around them. Much of the township is wooded, and mature trees hang over the roofs.
Shade and debris change the work. North slopes under trees hold moisture, so we clear valleys properly, set flashing to shed rather than collect, and specify algae-resistant shingles where the sun never reaches. Overhanging limbs get flagged, not ignored. The roofing permit comes from West Bradford Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Roofing In West Bradford

Trees keep the roof damp long after the rain stops.

Leaf litter in the valleys, moss on the shaded slopes and sap on the shingles all hold water against the roof instead of letting it run off.

West Bradford FAQ

Common questions

There is moss growing on the back of my roof. Does it matter?

There is moss growing on the back of my roof. Does it matter?

It does. Moss holds water against the shingle and slowly lifts the edges, which lets wind and freeze-thaw get underneath. On a roof with life left it can be treated and the slope kept clearer by trimming back the canopy; on an older roof heavy moss usually means the surface is already failing.

From West Bradford Township. In Pennsylvania the municipality issues building permits under the Uniform Construction Code, so the township handles the paperwork and the inspection regardless of which village your address names. We pull it as part of the project rather than leaving it to you.

Trimming the limbs that actually touch or overhang the roof is worth doing, and it is cheaper than the damage they cause. Branches scrub granules off in wind, drop debris into valleys and keep slopes from drying. Taking whole trees down is a bigger decision and usually not necessary.

It depends on what is there now and what the roof planes look like. Architectural asphalt is the practical choice on most, standing-seam metal suits shallow porch and shed roofs, and cedar or slate makes sense where the house already carries it. We price the options side by side instead of pushing one.
