Main Line housing at its oldest and largest, from the 1695 Friends meeting house to the Merion Park streets. Slate-era roofs, handled carefully.
Merion Station is the first Main Line stop out of Philadelphia on the Paoli and Thorndale line, and one of the oldest settled corners of Lower Merion Township. The Merion Friends Meeting House, a National Historic Landmark, stands here along with the General Wayne Inn and the Merion Tribute House, and the Barnes arboretum grounds are open to the public. The houses are big: deep gables, dormers, turrets, long valleys.
Roofs at that scale are mostly a flashing and detailing problem rather than a shingle problem. Slate and tile assemblies here often want selective repair, and we will say so when that is true. Lower Merion also maintains a historical architectural review board. Roofing permits are issued by Lower Merion Township 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.
Turrets, dormers and stepped gables create dozens of junctions on a single house, and nearly every leak on this stock starts at one of them.
Long copper valleys and chimney saddles wear out decades before the field material does.
Each dormer cheek and sidewall is a separate detail that has to be rebuilt, not patched.
A slate roof shedding pieces is often a fastener problem that repair solves for years.
Lower Merion Township issues roof permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
The permit comes from Lower Merion Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. The township also maintains a historical architectural review board, so if your property is a designated historic resource, a visible change can involve that review as well. We check the status before filing and handle the application either way.
Probably not yet. On roofs of this age slates slip because the nails corroded, which is a repair rather than a replacement, and reseating units alongside new valley and saddle metal often adds many years. We give you the repair figure and the replacement figure so the comparison is in front of you.
Sidewall flashing at the dormer cheeks is the usual answer. Wind-driven rain gets behind step flashing that was surface-sealed instead of woven into the courses, so it only shows in a hard storm. Rebuilding that detail properly, rather than adding sealant, is what stops it.
With planning rather than promises. We tarp and board over beds and walkways below the work area, set ladders and staging off the planting lines, and run tear-off into a chute rather than letting it land in the garden. At the end we magnet-sweep the lawn and drives for nails and do a walk-through with you.
