Wayne was one of the first planned suburbs in the country. The housing stock along Lancaster Avenue still reflects it, and so do the roofs on it.
Radnor Township covers Wayne, St. Davids, Villanova, Rosemont, Garrett Hill and Ithan, and the housing runs from 1880s suburban villas through 1950s infill to newer townhouse clusters. Slate, cedar shake and standing-seam metal are all still in service here, often on the same house: slate on the main field, metal on a bay or a porch roof, cedar out back on a carriage house.
A roof like that is not one system, it is four, and each has its own detail at the transition. We repair what is sound, replace what is not, and match profiles where the original material is still available. Radnor Township issues roofing permits through its own office under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

Mixed-material roofs on older Main Line houses fail at the transitions first, where slate meets metal or a steep field runs into a shallow porch.
Valleys, chimney saddles and step flashing wear out long before good slate does.
Standing-seam sections on porches and bays need soldered seams and proper terminations.
Tall steep roofs need staging and roof jacks, which changes how the work is planned.
Radnor Township, not Delaware County, issues the roofing permit, and we submit it for you.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

Slate itself often has life left when the flashing and the fasteners have failed. We check the nails, the underlayment at the valleys and the condition of individual slates before recommending anything. Replacement makes sense when slate is delaminating across the field, not when a dozen pieces have slipped.
Wayne addresses in Delaware County sit in Radnor Township, so the permit comes from Radnor Township’s code office under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. We file it, schedule the inspection and keep the paperwork with your job file. Our Wayne office is on (267) 692-2511 if you want to talk it through.
Usually, yes. Standing-seam and flat-lock work on porches, bays and dormers can be repaired or rebuilt in kind, with soldered seams rather than sealant. We keep that separate from the asphalt or slate field above it, because the two meet at a detail that has to be built deliberately.
Freeze-thaw cycling lifts slate and opens soldered seams, and ice at the eaves backs water under whatever is above it. On older houses with thin attic insulation the eaves stay cold while the field stays warm, which is exactly the condition that forms ice dams.
