What we find on Pitman roofs.
Pitman counts about 3,780 housing units, and the median one went up in 1945 — in the postwar building boom. About 89% of the stock is pre-1980. A little over 45% were standing before 1940.
These are small, simple roofs on small, simple houses, sheathed in planks and originally vented through the gable ends alone. Layer count is the single biggest variable in the price on these houses, and it is knowable before we quote.
Pitman covers about 2 square miles and is home to roughly 8,856 people. The borough dates to 1905.
What we build against here
This is Gloucester County: steady suburban growth south of the river, much of it built since the 1980s. 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 Pitman 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 1945 and 89% of the stock built before 1980, Pitman sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a roof come from the Pitman construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
Older houses hold more surprises, which is exactly why we look before we quote. Around 89% of the housing in Pitman is pre-1980, and that vintage often means decking or flashing work on top of the covering itself.
One day, for the large majority of houses. The crew arrives at first light, strips the old roof, dries the deck in and finishes before dark. Pitman is about 57 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
No deposit, in Pitman 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.
