A half-square-mile borough of 1920s and 1930s houses. Steep roofs, stucco walls, and the flashing line between them.
Aldan is a small borough, roughly half a square mile, built out mainly in the 1920s and 1930s on streets that still hold their original houses. Stucco and brick, steep main roofs, clipped and gabled dormers, and a fair number of Tudor-influenced fronts. The roofs are simple in plan but they run up hard against walls in a lot of places.
Roof-to-wall is where these houses leak, especially into stucco, which hides water until the damage is well along. We rebuild step and kick-out flashing properly instead of caulking over it. The roofing permit is issued by Aldan Borough under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

Where a roof plane dies into a stucco wall, water gets behind the finish and travels, so the flashing at that joint has to be built rather than sealed.
Layered metal woven into the courses where the roof climbs a sidewall.
The small diverter at the bottom of a wall run that most old roofs lack.
Proper staging on pitches that do not allow walking, which slows the job down.
Aldan Borough issues and inspects the roofing permit under the PA Uniform Construction Code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Yes. Aldan Borough issues and inspects roofing permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, the same as every other municipality in the county. Delaware County does not handle it. We submit the application and arrange the inspection so the file closes properly.
Most likely it is the flashing at that intersection rather than the shingles. On stucco houses water gets behind the finish at the roof-to-wall joint and runs a distance before it shows inside, so the stain is rarely directly below the entry point. Fixing it means opening the joint and rebuilding the flashing.
It usually does, because the crew needs staging, roof jacks and fall protection, and the work goes slower. We tell you that up front instead of discovering it on day one. The upside of a steep roof is that it sheds water and snow well, so it often outlasts a shallow one.
Sealant buys a season, sometimes two. It fails because it is being asked to do the job of layered metal, and each time it is reapplied the underlying rot gets further along. On a reroof we replace the flashing rather than sealing the old work back together.
