Sugartown, Plumsock and the horse country between Malvern and Newtown Square, where roofs are large, steep and often slate or cedar.
Willistown is mostly open and mostly old. Sugartown is a nineteenth century crossroads village, the White Horse area holds late eighteenth and mid nineteenth century Chester County vernacular, and the preserved land around Okehocking keeps the rest low density. Houses run large, on large lots, with steep pitches, long slopes, dormers, and slate or cedar still in place on many of them.
Big complicated roofs reward careful work. We measure the planes, rebuild valleys and chimney flashing in metal, replace slate piece by piece where the frame is sound, and price cedar honestly against a good architectural asphalt. Willistown Township issues the roofing permit and inspects the finished work under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
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.
Dormers, chimneys, valleys and long eave runs each add joints, and on a house this size the joints are where almost every leak begins.
Both can often be repaired rather than replaced when the framing and nails hold.
Stone chimneys need counterflashing cut into the joints, not sealant smeared on top.
Mature canopy drops debris into valleys and keeps north slopes damp year round.

Neither, if the parcel is in Willistown. Willistown Township issues the roofing permit and inspects the work under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, even though the mailing address may read Malvern, Newtown Square or West Chester. We confirm the municipality from the parcel and file accordingly.
Usually not all at once. Slate itself lasts a century or more, and the failures are in the nails, the underlayment and the metal in the valleys, which can often be addressed slope by slope. Full replacement makes sense when fasteners have let go across the whole roof.
That is worth staying ahead of. A packed valley backs water up under the courses on both sides, and on a large steep roof the volume moving through those valleys is considerable. We set open metal valleys where the design allows, which shed debris far better than a closed cut valley.
Both can look right, and the decision is usually budget and maintenance rather than appearance. Cedar suits the older houses and needs upkeep. A heavyweight architectural asphalt costs less, lasts predictably and now reads well next to stone and stucco, so we quote both.
