The county seat, where blocks of nineteenth century brick and stone twins sit inside a historic district with its own review board. Roofing that respects both.
West Chester is the county seat and most of its housing is older than the suburbs around it. Brick and stone twins, rowhomes and Victorians built between the 1830s and the 1930s fill the blocks around Marshall Square and Everhart Park and the streets off Gay and Church. Steep pitches, dormers, slate and built-in gutters are normal here. Past the borough line, West Goshen and East Bradford turn to postwar houses and developments like Radley Run and Bradford Hills.
We inspect before we quote, then tell you what the roof needs. Ice-and-water membrane at eaves and valleys, proper metal flashing where the original detail calls for it, slate or synthetic slate on a roof that should stay slate. Inside the historic district, visible exterior work goes through HARB, and the permit comes from West Chester’s building and codes office.
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.
Party walls, built-in gutters, dormers and narrow rear additions mean a West Chester reroof is mostly flashing and transition work, with the field shingle almost an afterthought.
Old box gutters and their liners fail long before the field shingles ever do.
Street-visible work in the historic district needs a certificate of appropriateness first.
We price slate repair, synthetic slate and asphalt honestly, then let you choose.
West Chester issues and inspects the permit, and we close the file out after.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

If the property sits in the borough’s historic district and the work is visible from a public street, plan on it. Exterior alterations there go before the Historical and Architectural Review Board, and the borough issues a certificate of appropriateness. Maintenance in kind is treated differently. We check with the codes office before ordering material.
The roof gets terminated and flashed at the party wall rather than run across it. We keep water off your neighbor’s side and leave a clean edge they can tie into later. If their half is in worse shape than yours, we will say so, because water does not respect the deed line.
Algae. It is common across the mid-Atlantic and it is cosmetic, not structural, so it is not a reason to replace a sound roof. Cleaning can take it off. When you do replace, algae-resistant shingles slow it coming back, and north-facing slopes stay worst either way.
Yes. Plenty of borough houses have a low-slope rear section or porch roof, and that is a different system from the main slope: EPDM or TPO, not shingles. We inspect it separately, because a stain on the kitchen ceiling usually starts where the flat meets the steep roof above it.
