The Borough and Its Roofs

Incorporated in 1926 from the old Centre Township and home to part of Glendora, Runnemede borders Barrington, Bellmawr, Gloucester Township, Magnolia, and Deptford Township. Mister Softee has been headquartered here since 1958. On the residential streets, the roof story has five threads: highway corridors that let storm winds build and send grime into gutters, roofs on their second or third round with an older layer sometimes left underneath, mature trees and shade, attics with limited ventilation, and freeze-thaw winters that work on chimneys.

Tier One: Act Now

These situations call for a prompt phone call.

Water actively coming through a ceiling

Move belongings, catch the water, and keep everyone clear of any ceiling that bulges or sags. Photograph the damage with the date. Then call us. Do not climb onto the roof to look for the source.

A visible opening after a storm

If wind or a falling limb has torn shingles away and exposed bare decking or underlayment, rain can enter quickly. Monarch Roofing & Construction offers temporary tarping after storm damage to cover the opening until a lasting repair can be made in dry conditions. Insurance is a separate matter between you and your carrier; we can supply photos and a written estimate.

A limb resting on the roof

Even if nothing seems broken, a heavy branch can shift in the next wind. Have a tree professional remove it, then let us inspect for cracked shingles, split decking, or bent flashing.

Tier Two: Schedule Soon

These are not dripping yet, or only drip occasionally, but they get worse with time.

Missing or lifted shingles

Wind sweeping in from the open corridors pries at eaves, rakes, and ridges first. A shingle that has lost its seal may lie flat now and blow off later. Missing shingles repair matters because the layer underneath is only a backup. A shingle repair replaces the damaged pieces and weaves new ones into the existing rows.

A stain that appears only in certain weather

A leak during wind-driven rain, snowmelt, or after long storms points to a specific component. Note when it happens and book an inspection. The opening is often uphill from the stain, since water can follow rafters or the underside of the decking.

Cracked cement around a chimney or wall

Old patches split as they age and freeze-thaw cycles pry at them. A durable roof flashing repair resets or replaces the metal itself. We look before quoting, because chimney masonry may be part of the problem; our Runnemede chimney repair page covers that side.

A cracked vent boot

Rubber collars around plumbing pipes split in the sun and let water run down into a bathroom or hallway ceiling. Roof vent leak repair usually means a new boot.

Ice dam damage from last winter

Stains along exterior walls after a snowy spell suggest water backed up behind ice at the eaves. Limited attic ventilation often plays a part. We repair the damaged eave area and explain the attic conditions involved.

Tier Three: Plan Ahead

These are signs of wear rather than active leaks. They are worth watching and discussing at your next inspection.

• Granules collecting at downspouts mean shingles are shedding their protective surface with age.
• Moss or algae on shaded slopes. Algae is mostly cosmetic; moss holds water and can lift shingle edges.
• Gutters filling with leaves and road grime. Clogged gutters back water up under the roof edge and encourage ice dams.
• Curling or cupped shingles on a hot, poorly ventilated roof suggest heat aging from the attic below.
• Worn valleys under trees, where leaves have held moisture against the shingles.

Corridor Wind, Road Grime, and Gutters

The Turnpike, Route 42, and the Black Horse Pike create long, open stretches where a storm’s gusts can build speed before they reach the rows of houses nearby. Those gusts find the weakest points on a roof, usually the bottom row of shingles, the gable edges, and the ridge caps, and they find them sooner on roofs where age has softened the sealant strips. The same corridors throw off a steady film of road grime that settles in gutters along with leaves from mature trees. Once a gutter is half full of that mix, it overflows in heavy rain, soaks the fascia, and in winter gives ice a place to build at the eaves. Keeping gutters clear and edges tight are two of the simplest ways to cut down on repair calls in this part of the county.

Attics That Run Hot and Cold

Many Runnemede houses were built when attic ventilation was an afterthought. In July, a stuffy attic bakes the underside of the roof deck and ages shingles from below. In January, warm, moist air from the living space collects under the cold deck, sometimes as frost, and drips onto insulation when it melts, leaving stains that look like leaks. The same trapped heat melts snow on the upper roof and helps form ice dams at the eaves. Shingle repairs fix the symptoms; airflow changes address the cause, and we will tell you what we see so you can decide.

Is It Really the Roof?

Before recommending roof leak repair, we rule out other sources that mimic it: condensation in an under-ventilated attic, bath fans exhausting into the attic, plumbing lines, air conditioning condensate drains, and leaks at windows or siding. That step keeps you from paying for a repair that will not stop the water.

What a Repair Day Looks Like

Before the crew arrives

You will know the scope from the written estimate. If attic access is needed, clearing a path to the hatch helps. Move cars from the driveway if materials will be staged there.

Setting up

The crew places ladders, protects landscaping and nearby surfaces, and sets up a way to catch debris along the sides of the house, an important step on Runnemede’s closely spaced lots.

Opening the area

Damaged shingles and flashing are removed. This is when the decking becomes visible. If soft boards or other hidden damage appear, work pauses and you are shown the condition and told how the scope would change.

Making the repair

New underlayment goes where needed, new shingles are fastened and interlaced with the existing courses, and flashing is installed in the correct overlapping order. On roofs with an older layer underneath, the fastening accounts for the extra thickness.

Matching

New shingles are chosen to match as closely as possible, but weathered shingles fade and some colors are discontinued, so the repair may be noticeable at first.

Cleanup and walk-through

Nails and scraps are gathered from the yard and driveway, and we go over what was done.

Skylights and Low-Slope Sections

Skylights can fool you. Water around the frame may be getting past the metal at the curb, slipping through a seal that has failed in the unit itself, or simply forming as condensation on cold glass and running down the well; each of those needs a different remedy, so we pin it down first. Shallow-pitch porch roofs and additions are a separate category. They shed water slowly, depend on seams and edges that stay tight, and most often fail along the line where the low roof meets the house wall.

The Free Inspection

Book the free visit and our inspector will work across the whole roof rather than just the spot you called about: shingle field, eave and gable edges, ridge caps, valleys, every flashed joint, pipe and exhaust vents, skylights, and the gutters, finishing in the attic if it can be reached without risk. Runnemede roofs get a closer look at three things in particular: wind-worn edges near the corridors, evidence of an older layer underneath, and how well the attic breathes. You will hear our conclusions, see pictures where we were able to take them, and receive a written roof repair estimate. Keep in mind that this is a roofing contractor’s judgment; a structural engineer or an insurance adjuster answers different questions.

Repair or Replace?

If problems sit mostly in tier two and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair usually makes sense. When tier-three signs cover most of the roof, leaks return after earlier fixes, decking is soft in several places, or multiple layers limit options, replacement may be more practical. Your plans for the house matter too. We give you an honest assessment and our reasoning. For replacement details, see our Runnemede roofing contractor page.

Seasonal Notes

• Winter: watch for ice ridges at the eaves and stains near exterior walls.
• Spring: look for wind damage at roof edges; check ceilings during rains.
• Summer: a very hot attic speeds shingle aging; check after storms.
• Fall: clear leaves and grime from gutters and valleys.
