An early commuter settlement around the Whitford rail stop. Roofing for pre-war houses and the newer streets that joined them.
Whitford is an old name on the rail line in West Whiteland Township, attached to the station stop and the country club beside it. The original houses are early twentieth century and substantial, with steep slopes, gable dormers and chimneys. Around them, later decades added ranches, split levels and subdivision streets, so one short drive can pass roofs a century apart in age and in construction.
Those two stocks need different work. Pre-war houses are a flashing and deck job; post-war houses are usually a ventilation job. We inspect for the one you actually have rather than selling the same package to both. Either way, the permit is issued by West Whiteland Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

On the older houses the flashing and the deck go before the shingle does; on the post-war streets a starved attic cooks the shingle from below instead.
Chimney, dormer and sidewall flashing are where century-old roofs give up.
Post-war houses often have exhaust at the ridge and no intake at the soffit.
A steep pre-war pitch needs roof jacks and a plan, which affects the schedule.
West Whiteland Township’s code office issues the permit and signs off the inspection.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Heat from underneath, most likely. If the attic has no soffit intake, summer temperatures build under the deck and cook the asphalt from the back. Adding balanced intake and exhaust when the roof is replaced is what makes the second roof outlast the first.
We do. The roofing permit for a Whitford address comes from West Whiteland Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and we submit the application, keep it posted at the house and meet the inspector at the end. You sign where the township requires an owner signature.
Often, and we will say so. A single failed valley, a chimney flashing, or damage confined to one slope is a repair. When the shingles have lost granules across the whole roof, or the deck is soft in several spots, repairs stop being economical.
Within reason. Heavy architectural shingle in a slate-grey or weathered-wood profile reads much better on a pre-war house than a thin three-tab, and copper or painted metal on a bay or porch roof looks right. We bring samples to the house rather than guessing from a brochure.
