Old houses that have grown by addition, on shaded lots in Nether Providence Township. Roof replacement for complicated rooflines.
Wallingford is the older, leafier part of Nether Providence Township, built up around its station on the Media line. The houses are substantial and most of them have grown: a sunroom off the back, a dormer added upstairs, a garage connected by a breezeway, a kitchen bumped out in the seventies. Every one of those changes put another roof on the building.
Each added roof brought a junction with the original, and junctions are where these houses leak. We map the roof before quoting so nothing gets missed at a step flashing or a cricket behind a chimney. Roofing permits for Wallingford are issued by Nether Providence Township under the PA Uniform Construction Code.

That points to the junction where the sunroom roof meets the main house rather than the roof surface. Additions were often flashed with sealant instead of step and counter flashing, and it holds up until the rain is heavy enough. Rebuilding that detail is usually a repair, not a replacement.
Nether Providence Township. Wallingford is a postal and census name, so the permit, the inspections and code enforcement all sit with Nether Providence under the PA Uniform Construction Code. Neighboring addresses in Media or Swarthmore go elsewhere, which is why we check the parcel first.
If the chimney is wide and sits on a slope, yes. Without a saddle, water and debris pile up on the uphill side and eventually get behind the flashing. It is a small piece of framing and metal work, and skipping it is one of the more common shortcuts we find on older roofs.
We can, and sometimes that is the sensible order. What we will not do is leave a bad junction untouched while replacing the field around it, because the leak you have will still be there. We will tell you which sections can honestly wait and which cannot.
