Roofing Contractor in Sicklerville, NJ

What are homes like in Sicklerville?

Sicklerville is a community of about 45,000 people in Camden County. It has no town government of its own. Instead, it spreads across parts of Gloucester Township and Winslow Township. The Atlantic City Expressway runs through it.

Census estimates show about two in three homes here were built between 1980 and 2009. Most are detached houses. Nearly one in four is an attached single-family home, such as a townhouse. More than four in five homes are lived in by their owners.

Building has kept going. About 3 percent of Sicklerville homes date from 2020 or later. So roof ages vary a lot from one subdivision to the next. When a roof is past fixing, a full roof replacement starts with a tear-off down to the deck.

Who handles permits for roof work in Sicklerville?

Sicklerville spans two townships, so the permit office depends on your street. In Gloucester Township, the Construction Division sits inside the Department of Community Development and Planning. Winslow Township runs its own Construction Office.

Under state rules, roof repair or replacement on a detached one- or two-family home is ordinary maintenance. That work needs no permit and no notice to the township. Attached homes are a different case. Gloucester Township's permit fee schedule lists roofing or siding on a single-family attached home, such as a townhouse.

One more state rule matters on older roofs. When a roof already has two layers, both must come off before a new roof goes on. Decks follow their own path: Gloucester Township asks for a zoning permit first and posts a deck permit checklist. Your township construction office has the final word on any job, and we point you there.

Townhouse roofs and siding in Sicklerville

A townhouse row shares one long roof line. When one owner replaces a roof, the new shingles meet the old ones at the property line. That joint needs careful flashing so water stays out of both homes. We check it closely before we write your estimate.

If your community has a homeowners association, check its rules on shingle and siding colors first. Bring the approved colors to the estimate, and we will price the job from them.

Siding needs the same care. If yours is cracked or coming loose, we handle siding replacement in vinyl or fiber cement. Property managers can call us about a whole row at once.

What do storms do to roofs around Sicklerville?

Summer thunderstorms can do real damage here. In June 2022, the National Weather Service confirmed a brief EF-1 tornado near Erial Road in Gloucester Township. Its winds, estimated at 90 mph, uprooted trees and tore soffit off a house.

After a storm, look for missing shingles, lifted flashing, bent gutters or branches resting on the roof. Water stains on a ceiling can show up days later. If you see damage, our storm damage roof repair covers leaks, flashing, missing shingles and wind damage.
