Roofing Contractor in Egg Harbor Township, NJ

Bayfront and marsh-edge properties

On the eastern side of the township, flat open marsh gives wind a long uninterrupted run before it reaches the first buildings. Properties here have a genuinely coastal exposure profile even though they are on the mainland.

• Wind uplift at eaves, rakes and ridges on water-facing elevations
• Shingle seals breaking without visible loss of material
• Faster corrosion of exposed fasteners and flashing near the water
• Wind-driven rain reaching under laps in sustained blows

Wooded inland sections

Further west the township is Pinelands, and the problems invert. Wind stops being the issue and tree cover becomes it: needle and leaf debris in valleys and gutters, shaded slopes that stay damp, moss and algae, and limbs coming down onto roofs during storms.

Suburban stock reaching replacement age together

Large parts of the township were built out in identifiable phases, which means whole neighbourhoods of similar houses reach the end of their roof service life at around the same time. It also means a lot of similar rooflines — straightforward hip and gable work with the usual suspects at pipe boots, valleys and flashing junctions.

Commercial along the corridors

The Black Horse Pike, US 9 and the Expressway corridor carry retail, service, office and light industrial buildings, almost all with low-slope roofs. These fail at seams, terminations, penetrations and drains, and on occupied commercial property an interior water event costs far more than the maintenance would have.
