What we find on Glassboro roofs.
Housing here dates to 1986 at the median, across roughly 8,331 units.
Plywood decking, three-tab shingles and an attached garage are the constants on housing from these years. Most are on their second covering and coming due for a third, and the garage junction almost always needs proper flashing rather than sealant.
Glassboro covers about 9 square miles and is home to roughly 23,717 people. The borough dates to 1878. It was carved out of Clayton Township.
What Glassboro weather does to a house
Glassboro sits in Gloucester County — steady suburban growth south of the river, much of it built since the 1980s. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs all winter. Every cycle widens whatever gap the last one made. A nail pop becomes a leak, a hairline split in flashing becomes a stained ceiling, and none of it happens fast enough to notice. 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 Glassboro 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 1986 and 43% of the stock built before 1980, Glassboro 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 Glassboro construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
