What we find on Deptford roofs.
Housing here dates to 1976 at the median, across roughly 12,502 units. About 55% predate 1980.
Plywood decking, three-tab shingles and an attached garage are the constants on housing from these years. These are the most straightforward full replacements we do, provided the garage junction gets proper flashing.
Deptford covers about 18 square miles and is home to roughly 32,263 people. The township dates to 1695. Two centuries of building means the housing stock here is genuinely mixed, and no two streets are the same job.
What we build against here
Gloucester County is steady suburban growth south of the river, much of it built since the 1980s, and Deptford is part of it. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating all winter. 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 Deptford 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 1976 and 55% of the stock built before 1980, Deptford 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 Deptford construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
