Old mill villages along Chester Creek, post-war streets around Village Green, and heavy tree cover over most of it. Shade is the condition that defines roofs here.
Aston Township grew around water power. Rockdale, Aston Mills and Bridgewater were mill villages on Chester Creek long before Village Green and Green Ridge filled in the middle of the twentieth century. The creek corridors still carry mature hardwoods, and a lot of Aston roofs sit under canopy that drops leaves into valleys and keeps north slopes from ever drying out properly.
Shaded roofs need different attention: valleys built in open metal rather than woven shingle, gutters and valley debris cleared at the tear-off, algae-resistant shingles, and flashing detail at the many small additions these older houses have collected. Roofing permits are issued by Aston Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and we file for them.

Canopy along Chester Creek slows drying on north slopes, packs valleys with debris, and encourages moss and algae to hold water against the shingle.
Leaf pack in a woven valley dams water and rots the decking beneath it.
Shaded slopes grow moss that lifts shingle edges and keeps the mat wet.
Older mill-village houses gained additions, and each one added a roof-to-wall detail.
Aston Township issues the roofing permit, not the county, and we submit the application.

Trim back what you reasonably can so the slope gets some sun and air. Beyond that, algae-resistant shingles plus a zinc or copper strip at the ridge releases enough metal in the runoff to discourage regrowth. Pressure washing an asphalt roof does more harm than good, so we do not do it.
Yes, in three ways: abrasion from limbs rubbing the surface, constant debris in valleys and gutters, and shade that keeps the roof wet. We note overhanging limbs during inspection. Clearing them before a replacement protects the new roof and makes the work safer for the crew.
From Aston Township’s own code office, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Delaware County does not issue building permits for roofs. We complete the application, post the permit at the property, and coordinate the township inspection so you are not chasing it.
Usually, but we check first. Older plank decking, added rafters and past repairs all affect what the roof can carry and how it fastens. We look in the attic before quoting and tell you if any framing or decking work belongs in the scope of the job.
