An old spring village in West Pikeland Township, where much of the building stock predates asphalt shingle entirely.
Yellow Springs is a small village in West Pikeland Township, built around mineral springs that drew visitors long before anyone commuted from here. Much of what stands is eighteenth and nineteenth century: stone walls, steep roofs, deep eaves and chimneys that pass through the slope. Around the village the township is open horse country with newer houses on large lots.
Old buildings move with the seasons, and freeze-thaw works on every joint between metal and masonry. We rebuild flashing into mortar joints, keep the eave detail generous, and choose a material that suits the building rather than the catalog. The permit for roof work here is issued by West Pikeland Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Water gets into a mortar joint or under a piece of flashing, freezes overnight, expands and opens the gap a little more, and it does that dozens of times a winter.
Counterflashing belongs cut into the mortar, where freezing water cannot lever it out.
Older village roofs may be slate or standing seam, each with its own repair.
A generous overhang needs membrane well past the wall line to handle ice.

Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
It widens whatever gap already exists. Water seeps into a mortar joint, a nail hole or a flashing lap, freezes, expands and pushes the opening wider, then thaws and goes deeper. Over a winter that cycle repeats many times, which is why small unaddressed gaps become leaks in spring.
The construction permit comes from West Pikeland Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and that is what we file. If your property carries a preservation easement or a private covenant, that is a separate matter and you should check your deed. We will work to whatever it requires.
If the structure was built for it and the budget allows, slate is the longest-lasting choice by far and often repairable. Where it is not practical, a synthetic slate or a heavy architectural shingle in a slate tone is a reasonable substitute on a stone building.
Plywood and tarps against the walls and over plantings, debris chuted rather than dropped, and no equipment leaning on the masonry. Old mortar does not forgive impact. We walk the building with you first and note anything fragile before a single shingle comes off.
