A wooded crossroads at Route 352 and Gradyville Road, inside Edgmont Township. Roof replacement built for shade and debris.
Gradyville is a crossroads in Edgmont Township, at Route 352 and Gradyville Road, named after a hotel owner who got the post office renamed in 1890. It has stayed small. Stone and frame farmhouse stock, later singles on wooded acre lots, Ridley Creek State Park filling the ground to the east. Tree cover is the constant here, over the roofs as much as the roads.
Roofs under this much canopy hold moisture and collect debris, so valleys, gutters and ventilation get as much attention as the shingle itself. Access on long wooded drives gets planned before the truck arrives. Roofing permits in Gradyville are issued by Edgmont Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

That is what constant shade does. Under heavy canopy the shingle never fully dries, so moss and algae take hold and hold water against the mat. Trimming limbs back, keeping valleys and gutters clear, and using algae-resistant shingle with proper ventilation are the measures that actually help.
Edgmont Township. Gradyville is a village name rather than a municipality, so the permit, the inspections and code enforcement all run through Edgmont Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code, not the county. We file it and meet the inspector as part of the work.
It does more than people think. A blocked gutter backs water up under the first course of shingle and keeps the eave wet, which is exactly where ice forms in winter. Guards help on some roofs and cause problems on others, so we look at the tree type and the pitch before recommending them.
Yes, and we plan for it. Where the dumpster can sit, whether the truck can turn, and how we protect a gravel surface from nails all get worked out before the day. On wooded lots we also tarp wide, because debris travels further than you expect.
