Roofing in Gloucester County, NJ
Northern Gloucester County sits just below Camden County, across the Walt Whitman Bridge from South Philadelphia.
Northern Gloucester County roof work is mostly shingle roofs on post-war and newer suburban houses in Deptford, West Deptford, Woodbury and Washington Township, plus flat and low-slope roofs on retail buildings along the main roads. Replacements, leak repairs, gutters and storm damage lead the calls.
What the Roofs Look Like Here
Deptford Township shows how much of the county grew. Its first big wave came with post-World War II housing tracts built for veterans, with many families moving out from Camden; the second came around the Deptford Mall, which opened in 1976. The result is street after street of capes, ranches and two-story houses with simple shingle roofs, now mostly on their second or third covering.
Older towns such as Woodbury and National Park have steeper roofs and porches on early twentieth-century houses, while newer developments farther south carry larger, more complex roofs.
Work We Do Most in Gloucester County
Shingle replacement and repair, attic ventilation, gutter replacement and gutter guards under the area's many trees, storm repairs, and flat roof repairs on stores and offices along the commercial corridors.
A Typical Job in Gloucester County
On a Deptford cape or ranch, a replacement usually takes a day or two: old shingles off, soft decking replaced, ice barrier at the eaves, new underlayment, drip edge and shingles, and ventilation that matches the attic. Many of these houses have had additions, and the joint where the addition roof meets the original is where leaks often start; it gets new flashing as part of the job.
Under the area's mature trees, gutters clog quickly, so guards are often added once the gutters are sound.
