Large older houses on wooded Lower Merion land, where slate, cedar and standing-seam metal are still the roofs actually in service.
Gladwyne occupies the northern part of Lower Merion Township, above Mill Creek, with heavy tree cover and properties measured in acres rather than feet. The houses are correspondingly large: stone colonials, estate-era homes and mid-century successors, many with slate or cedar originally and standing-seam metal on porches, bays and dormer roofs. A single roof can run several thousand square feet across a dozen planes.
That scale rewards inspection over guesswork. We document each plane, price slate repair against replacement honestly, and keep metal where metal was doing the work. Copper valleys and chimney counterflashing get rebuilt rather than caulked. Lower Merion Township issues the permit and inspects the work under the PA Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing for homes and townhomes across the area.
Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Mature trees drop limbs and pack valleys with debris, and on slate or cedar the damage from one storm is often localized and repairable if someone actually looks.
Individual broken slates can be replaced without touching a sound roof around them.
Cedar shakes need airflow beneath them, and blocked attics shorten their service life.
Valleys, bay roofs and porch pans in copper or standing seam need soldered detail.
Gladwyne roofing permits are issued and inspected by Lower Merion Township.

Repair, if the slate itself is sound and the flashings are the problem. Good slate outlasts several asphalt roofs, and most Gladwyne slate failures are broken units, failed valley metal or chimney flashing rather than the field. We inspect before quoting, because replacement here is a large number and should be justified.
You need a permit from Lower Merion Township, which is the municipality Gladwyne sits in, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Montgomery County has no role. If your property is in a private association with its own material or colour rules, that is a separate approval and we will work to whatever it specifies.
Get it documented before anything gets covered. We photograph the damage, tarp the opening, and give you a written scope you can hand to an insurer. On slate, cedar or metal, storm damage is often localized, and a good repair is both faster and less expensive than a full replacement.
Yes, and we price it plane by plane instead of averaging. Large Gladwyne roofs fail at the transitions: valleys, dormer sidewalls, chimney counterflashing and the joint where a metal porch pan meets shingle. The estimate should name each of those, and ours does.
