The Thorofare houses we work on.
Thorofare counts about 9,525 housing units, and the median one went up in 1977 — in the late 1970s and 1980s. Something like 56% 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.
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.
Thorofare covers about 4 square miles and is home to roughly 22,416 people.
The conditions this work has to survive
Thorofare 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. 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 Thorofare 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 1977 and 56% of the stock built before 1980, Thorofare 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 Thorofare construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
The median Thorofare home dates to 1977.
