These went up with ridge ventilation starting to appear, plywood decking, and attached garages whose roof-to-wall junction was rarely flashed properly. These are the most straightforward full replacements we do, provided the garage junction gets proper flashing.
Mantua covers about 16 square miles and is home to roughly 15,404 people. The township dates to 1853. It was carved out of Greenwich Township.
Local conditions we build for
This is 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.

Roofing in Mantua 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 1987 and 40% of the stock built before 1980, Mantua sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
