The Tuckahoe houses we work on.
Tuckahoe counts about 6,619 housing units, and the median one went up in 1982 — in the late 1970s and 1980s. Something like 46% 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 12,525 people spread across 1 square miles, properties here sit far apart — long driveways, mature trees and plenty of room to work.
What Tuckahoe weather does to a house
Cape May County is the southern tip of the shore, where almost every home is within a few miles of saltwater, and Tuckahoe is part of it. 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.

Roofing in Tuckahoe 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 1982 and 46% of the stock built before 1980, Tuckahoe sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
