Glassboro grew from a glassworks into a college town, and its houses show every step. About one in five homes went up before 1960, and nearly one in five went up in the 2010s. Around Rowan University, many single-family houses now serve as student rentals. On any of them, a worn roof often shows up first as a stained ceiling after a hard rain.

Tell us about the roof, siding, windows, doors, gutters or deck and where the job is. We look at it and put a free estimate in writing.
Glassboro became a borough in 1920, and its downtown centers on Main Street and High Street. Census survey data puts the median home here at a 1986 build year. About a quarter went up in the 1960s and 1970s, and another quarter in the 1980s and 1990s. About three in ten were built in 2000 or later.
About six in ten homes are single-family detached houses. About a quarter sit in buildings with five or more units. The borough's master plan puts most multi-family housing in and around the downtown business district.
That spread means a roofing contractor in Glassboro works on many kinds of roofs. When we look at a roof for the estimate, we count the layers and check the decking. New Jersey's rehabilitation code says the old covering must come off when a roof already has two or more layers. On an older house, that layer count shapes the whole job.
Glassboro's Construction Office issues construction permits and inspects work under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. It sits in the borough's Code Enforcement Building, along with Planning and Zoning.
State rules list the repair or replacement of existing roof covering on detached one- and two-family homes as ordinary maintenance. That work needs no permit and no notice to the office. Attached townhouses and apartment buildings fall outside that line, so ask the construction office first.
On a one- or two-family house, siding replacement and same-size window swaps sit on the same list. Building a new deck does not, and the office posts a residential deck checklist for it. The construction office has the final word for your house, and we point you there.
About four in ten occupied homes in Glassboro are rented, per Census survey data. The borough's 2020 master plan review notes that many single-family homes near Rowan University became student housing. The Rowan Boulevard redevelopment now links the campus with the downtown.
Rentals bring their own paperwork. The borough's Housing and Code Enforcement office handles rental licensing and resale certificates. If a borough inspection turns up a roof leak or loose siding, we can quote the repair in writing.
Building goes on, too. The Census counted 42 new single-family homes authorized in Glassboro in 2024. We work with property managers and builders on apartment and townhome roofs. Those jobs cover TPO, EPDM and torch down flat roofs as well as shingle roofs.
The borough's own history credits its sandy soil and oak forests for the first glass factory in 1779. Woods cover a big share of town: about 40 percent of its acres in a 2015 land use count. The Glassboro Wildlife Management Area sits on the borough's eastern side.
Trees near a house drop leaves into gutters and limbs onto shingles. Clogged gutters spill water at the eaves and down the siding. We take care of gutter installation and repair along with the roof. Good downspouts carry the water away from the foundation.
Wind is the other local test. The September 2021 tornado took roofs off homes in nearby Mullica Hill and Wenonah, per the National Weather Service. After a storm, look from the ground for missing shingles and lifted flashing, then call or text us.

Dominic and the crew at DRK Roofing were wonderful to deal with. They replaced our roof and gutters and it all looks great. Dominic was responsive throughout the whole process and he showed up when he said he would, and did what he said he would.
