The old rose-nursery borough on the Baltimore Central line, with late-Victorian houses and the rooflines to match.
West Grove became a borough in 1893, after the railroad arrived in 1860 and the rose nurseries turned a crossroads into a town. Star Roses is still here. The housing came with that boom: brick commercial buildings on the main street and late-Victorian frame and brick houses behind it, with the steep pitches, dormers, bays and wrap-around porches that period built. Newer development sits on the edges.
A Victorian roof has more edges than area, and the money goes into the edges: dormer cheeks, bay roofs, porch transitions and the flashing where a turret or a wall meets a slope. We price those honestly and we do not shortcut them with sealant. Roofing permits inside the borough are issued by West Grove Borough.

Dormers, bays, turrets and porch roofs all meet the main slopes somewhere, and every one of those meetings is a flashing detail.
Small curved and angled roofs need proper metal work, not shingles bent to fit.
Long shallow porch roofs on these houses usually want membrane and new flashing.
North-facing Victorian slopes streak early, and shaded borough lots make it worse.
West Grove Borough issues the roofing permit, separate from London Grove Township.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
West Grove Borough, if the property is inside the borough line. West Grove separated from London Grove Township in 1893 and issues its own permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We verify the parcel first, because the borough boundary runs through streets that look continuous.
Not always at the same time, but they are related. The porch section is usually much shallower and often needs a membrane rather than shingles, and the leak is frequently at the joint between the two. We look at that transition first, then tell you what each part needs.
Yes, and a heavy architectural shingle suits a steep Victorian slope well. What matters is the detailing around the dormers, bays and porch roofs, where the original slate or metal work was doing the real job. Get those right and the shingle choice is the easy part.
Algae. The shaded slope stays damp, and the dark streaking that follows is biological rather than dirt. It is mostly cosmetic at first, but persistent moisture does shorten shingle life. On a replacement we use algae-resistant shingles on those faces, which keeps the appearance far longer.
