Roof inspections
Older roof assemblies and earlier alterations each need their own look. Roof inspections can help you understand an existing roof’s condition before you decide on repairs or replacement.

Roofing help for Unionville homes and village properties
EA Construction & Roofing serves Unionville with roofing services for leaks, aging roofs and planned improvements. Bring your questions about the roof, along with any concerns about your property's historic character, drainage or access.
Your roofing priorities
Start with the roof you have
Whether you are investigating a leak, checking an older roof or planning a larger project, start with the condition of your property and the problem you need to solve.
Leak detection
When moisture appears, roof-wall junctions, chimney flashing and the joints between original buildings and additions are good places to look. Describe the symptoms; the visible stain may not mark where water gets in.
Roof replacements
When planning a replacement, consider the existing building, the proposed roofing material and any historic-district requirements together. What suits a property depends on that property, not on how a neighboring roof looks.
Local planning
Respect the building and the village setting
Unionville is a village in East Marlborough Township, with historic houses, small storefronts and community buildings. Properties in the Unionville Village Historic District, including those along Doe Run Road, Embreeville Road and Wollaston Road, need extra care when exterior changes are planned.
Before committing to permanent roofing changes, ask East Marlborough Township and Unionville HARB about review requirements. On older buildings, look at the existing roof assembly, earlier additions and proposed materials case by case.
Access matters too. Driveway grades, delivery space and room for equipment vary from one village property to the next. While the work is being planned, point out shared access, neighboring private property and areas that need to stay usable.
Weather and maintenance
Look beyond the shingles
With Chester County's weather, it makes sense to plan roof details and drainage together. That's planning advice for your property; it doesn't predict how any particular roof will hold up.
Rain and drainage
In heavy rain, watertight roof transitions and good drainage matter. When we talk about your roof, mention overflowing gutters, pooling water or downspouts that empty close to the building.
After a storm
After high winds, report changes you can see from the ground, such as displaced roofing or debris. Storm damage repair starts with understanding the damage. Don’t go up on an unsafe roof yourself.
Seasonal conditions
Snow, freezing precipitation and extreme heat can affect safe roof access and installation plans. Talk through the work and timing with us, since the weather may not allow an immediate start.
Prepare your inquiry
Make the first conversation useful
You don't need to diagnose the roof before getting in touch. A clear description of the problem and any practical limits on the property is a good place to start.
Confirm the property location
Give us the street address as well as the mailing city. Unionville village addresses can use either 19375 or 19348.
Describe what you have noticed
Explain the leak, visible damage or planned improvement. Include when the issue began, known roof history and photographs taken safely from the ground.
Share planning constraints
Mention historic-district status, occupied shops or living spaces, parking restrictions and delivery access. Ask about an appointment and a free estimate for the proposed work.
