A 1978 median build year reflects West Goshen's 1960s and 1970s growth
Census estimates for West Goshen township put the median year built at 1978, which matches the decades when the old farming township filled in with subdivisions. About 23 percent of the housing units predate 1960 and roughly 8 percent predate 1940, going back to the era when railroads brought Philadelphians out here for country houses. Homes that age have generally carried more than one roof, so a tear-off can turn up a second layer, tired sheathing and flashing that was patched years ago. Another 23 percent of units were built in 2000 or later, and on those the original builder shingles are the ones now aging. With about 64 percent detached and 10 percent rowhomes or twins, asphalt shingle work fits most of the township, and twins share a party wall where two roof planes meet.
What the W Chester 2 NW weather station means for roofs here
The NOAA station recorded as W Chester 2 NW, about 5 km from West Goshen, reports roughly 51 inches of precipitation a year, about 31 inches of snow, and around 131 days a year that reach freezing or colder. That combination is how ice dams start: snow melts above a warm attic, refreezes at the cold eave, and meltwater backs up under the shingles. Ice and water shield at the eaves and in the valleys is worth specifying on a replacement in this climate. The same station records about 14 days a year with an inch or more of rain, and those are the days that test valleys, step flashing and wall transitions. A leak that only shows up in heavy rain usually traces back to one of them.

Roofing in West Goshen: common questions
Which Hoff office covers West Goshen, and how far away is it?
West Goshen is served from our West Chester office at 629 S Chester Rd #101, which is located in Westtown Township. OpenStreetMap routing puts the drive at roughly 4 miles and about 8 minutes, depending on where in the township you are. That covers both residential and commercial work anywhere inside the township limits.
My West Goshen house was built in the 1970s. What should I expect from a roof replacement?
Census estimates give West Goshen township a median build year of 1978, so a 1970s house has likely been roofed at least once already. On homes that age we often find a second layer of shingles to tear off, sheathing that needs checking once it is exposed, and flashing at walls and valleys that was repaired at some point. A written inspection tells you what is actually up there.
How do West Goshen winters affect my roof?
The W Chester 2 NW station about 5 km away records roughly 131 days a year at or below freezing and about 31 inches of snow annually. Repeated melting and refreezing at the eaves is what builds ice dams, which push water back under the shingle course. On a replacement, ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys is the practical defense in this part of Chester County.
Do you work on flat roofs for West Goshen apartment buildings and businesses?
Yes. Census estimates show about 25 percent of West Goshen township housing units sit in buildings with five or more units, and the township also holds QVC's headquarters at QVC Studio Park on Wilson Drive plus more than 465 businesses. Buildings like those commonly have flat or low-slope roofs, and we install and repair EPDM rubber, TPO and modified bitumen. Commercial estimates are written and free.
