What roofing in Clementon actually involves.
Clementon counts about 2,423 housing units, and the median one went up in 1965 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 83% of the stock is pre-1980.
This is split-level and bi-level country, and every change in level is another roof-to-wall intersection that has to be flashed properly. Nearly every leak we chase on these houses traces back to a wall junction rather than the field of the roof.
Clementon covers about 2 square miles and is home to roughly 5,410 people. Clementon was incorporated in 1925, 101 years ago. It was carved out of Clementon Township.
Local conditions we build for
This is Camden County: a dense inner ring across the river from Philadelphia, thinning into farmland to the east. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. Water gets into a small opening, freezes, widens it, and comes back the next night. Over a few seasons that is what turns a nail pop into a leak, and a hairline crack in flashing into a stained ceiling. Flashing and underlayment are what stop it, and both are invisible once the job is done — which is exactly why they get skipped.

“Honest about everything. They showed up on time, kept the property clean, and the roof came out amazing. Made everything stress free.”
Straight answers.
Roofing in Clementon typically runs $9,000 to $22,000. What moves a given house within that band is size, pitch and what is already on the roof — and with a median build year of 1965 and 83% of the stock built before 1980, Clementon sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a roof come from the Clementon construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 83% of homes in Clementon were built before 1980, and on houses that age we regularly find board decking, more than one layer of shingle, or flashing that was never done properly. We inspect for all three before quoting.
A single day covers most homes here — tear-off, deck repair, dry-in and the new roof, start to finish. Clementon is about 48 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
No deposit, in Clementon or anywhere else we work. Nothing is due until the job is finished and you have walked it with us. Financing is available if you would rather spread the cost, and it does not change the quoted price.
