Roofing in Camden, NJ
Camden sits right across the river from Philadelphia, and its rowhouse roofs are close cousins of ours.
Camden roof work is mostly flat roofs on rowhouses and attached homes, cornice and mansard repairs on nineteenth-century rows, and membrane roofs on commercial and institutional buildings. Leak repairs, flat roof replacements and parapet work lead the calls.
What the Roofs Look Like Here
Camden had 71,791 residents in 2020. Rowhouses and other attached homes are its most common housing type, about 55% of units, and about 40% of its housing was built before 1940, including late-nineteenth-century Italianate and Second Empire rows in the Cooper Grant Historic District near the Ben Franklin Bridge.
Those rows carry flat rear roofs, shared parapets, cornices and in places mansard fronts, much like the older blocks of Philadelphia.
Work We Do Most in Camden
Flat roof repair and replacement, parapet and coping work, cornice and mansard repairs, box gutters on older rows, and commercial membrane work.
A Typical Job in Camden
On a Camden rowhouse, a flat roof replacement usually takes a day or two: old layers off to the deck, new membrane with the slope improved toward the scupper, and new flashing at the parapets and the neighbor's roof. Cornice and mansard repairs are priced separately after a close look from a lift.
Permits and Paperwork
Camden enforces New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code through its own construction office, and historic districts such as Cooper Grant may need review for visible changes. We check both before work starts.
