The Hi-Nella houses we work on.
Hi-Nella counts about 428 housing units, and the median one went up in 1964 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 81% of the stock is pre-1980. A little over 26% were standing before 1940.
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. Done properly, those junctions stop being a maintenance item; done with sealant, they come back every few years.
The mix of single-family houses and two- and three-family homes here means both pitched and low-slope roofs on the same block, and the two are genuinely different jobs with different materials and prices.
Hi-Nella covers about 0 square miles and is home to roughly 855 people. The borough dates to 1929. It was carved out of Clementon Township.
What we build against here
Hi-Nella sits in Camden County — a dense inner ring across the river from Philadelphia, thinning into farmland to the east. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating all winter. The mechanism is slow and cumulative: water enters a small defect, expands as it freezes, and leaves the defect slightly larger than it found it. 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 Hi-Nella 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 1964 and 81% of the stock built before 1980, Hi-Nella sees more of that variation than a newer town would. That is all visible at the free inspection, so the written number accounts for it.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a roof come from the Hi-Nella construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
It changes what we look for. With roughly 81% of Hi-Nella housing predating 1980, plank decking, stacked layers and improvised flashing are all common — so the inspection covers them and the written estimate reflects whatever is actually there.
Most residential roofs are torn off and replaced in a single day — crews start early, strip, dry-in and finish the same afternoon. Hi-Nella is about 48 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here — owner-occupancy in Hi-Nella runs about 40%, so most buildings are owned by someone other than the occupant. We quote per building, schedule around tenants, and the no-deposit terms are the same.
No deposit, in Hi-Nella 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.
