Birchrunville and Ludwigs Corner on one side, Weatherstone and Byers Station on the other, and the roofs are nothing alike.
West Vincent stretches from French Creek west across Route 100 and Route 401. Birchrunville is a stone hamlet with its own historic district and a general store still standing. Ludwigs Corner is the crossroads where 100 meets 401. Weatherstone, begun in 2002, and Byers Station brought several hundred houses designed to look older than they are, which in roofing terms means dormers, gables and valleys everywhere.
A neo-traditional roof has several times the transitions of a plain gable, and that is where the leaks live. We detail sidewalls in step flashing, line valleys in metal, and flash every dormer head rather than relying on caulk. Roof permits are issued by West Vincent Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

At twenty years it is almost never the shingle on that kind of detail. It is a missing kick-out flashing, a head flashing that was skipped, or step flashing that was face-nailed instead of woven into the courses. Those are original-build shortcuts, and a targeted repair usually solves it.
Usually yes, and usually a kick-out. Where a roof edge dies into a wall, a small piece of bent metal is supposed to kick water out onto the roof instead of behind the siding. Without it, years of runoff go into the wall, and you see it as staining first and rot later.
West Vincent Township, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. The county does not issue building permits, and your school district and postal address have nothing to do with it. We handle the application and the inspection scheduling as part of the contract.
It can be, since repeated slides load a lower porch or bay roof past what it was framed for and tear at shingle and gutter on the way down. Snow guards on the upper slope hold the pack in place so it melts where it landed. We look at where the slides land before specifying them.
