What we find on New Gretna roofs.
Housing here dates to 1975 at the median, across roughly 417 units. Something like 66% went up before 1980.
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.
Big lots and heavy tree cover produce two recurring problems here: north slopes that stay shaded and grow moss, and limb damage after every real storm.
With around 988 people spread across 1 square miles, properties here sit far apart — long driveways, mature trees and plenty of room to work. At roughly 7 feet above sea level, drainage matters as much as the roof itself.
Local conditions we build for
New Gretna sits in Burlington County — the state's largest county by area, reaching from close-in suburbs out into the Pine Barrens. New Gretna sits in the sandy, pine-covered part of South Jersey. Pitch pine drops needles year-round rather than leaves once in autumn. Needles pack into valleys and gutters, hold moisture against the shingle, and stay there. That constant damp is what shortens shingle life here well before the warranty says it should.

“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 New Gretna 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 1975 and 66% of the stock built before 1980, New Gretna 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.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a roof in New Gretna is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 66% of homes in New Gretna 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. New Gretna is about 48 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Nothing up front. We finish the job in New Gretna, you look at it, then you pay. Financing is available and does not change what we quoted.
