Roofing Companies in Cherry Hill, NJ

Cherry Hill is the largest community in Camden County, a township of about 24 square miles with roughly 74,500 residents at the 2020 census and about 28,450 housing units in 2010. It was incorporated in 1844 as Delaware Township and took the name Cherry Hill in 1961, the same year the Cherry Hill Mall opened as the first enclosed shopping mall in the eastern United States. Pennsauken Creek runs along its eastern side and the Cooper River along its southern edge.

Most of Cherry Hill was built in a single long wave. The township grew from about 10,400 people in 1950 to 31,500 in 1960 and 64,400 in 1970, and building continued into the 1980s. More recent construction has been mainly custom homes. A few much older houses remain, such as Croft Farm, dating to 1753, and the Barclay Farm House from 1816. Neighborhoods include Ashland, Barclay, Ellisburg, Erlton, Colwick, Golden Triangle, Greentree, Kingston Estates, Springdale, Woodcrest, Old Orchard, Point of Woods, Willowdale, and Colestown. The New Jersey Turnpike, Interstate 295, and Routes 38, 41, 70, and 154 all pass through. Cherry Hill borders Maple Shade, Evesham, Mount Laurel, Collingswood, Haddon Township, Haddonfield, Lawnside, Somerdale, Merchantville, Pennsauken, and Voorhees.

Roofing Considerations in Cherry Hill

Neighborhoods built in waves

Because whole neighborhoods were built within a few years of each other, their roofs tend to age together. Houses from the 1950s and 1960s are often on their third roof by now, and some still carry a layer of shingles installed over an older one. Split-levels, ranches, bi-levels, and two-story colonials each have their own trouble spots, from the low-pitched sections of split-levels to the long, simple slopes of ranches where wind can get under worn shingles.

Split-levels and multiple roof planes

Split-level and bi-level homes have roof sections at different heights, with walls rising between them. Each of those joints relies on step flashing and counter-flashing, and when siding was replaced or flashing was patched with sealant, those joints become leak points. Lower sections also collect debris and runoff from the roofs above.

Mid-century ventilation

Homes from the boom years were often built with minimal attic ventilation. That leads to hot attics in summer, which age shingles faster, and ice dams at the eaves in winter.

Larger custom homes

Newer custom homes often have complex roofs with many valleys, hips, dormers, and transitions. These roofs are beautiful, but every valley and wall joint is a place where installation quality matters. Inspections focus on valleys, flashing, and ventilation balance across the roof.

Mature trees

Decades-old trees shade many streets. Leaves clog gutters and valleys, branches scrape shingles, and shaded slopes grow moss and algae.

What a Roof Inspection Covers

Shingles: granule loss, cracking, curling, wind damage, and missing pieces
Flashing: wall transitions on split-levels, chimneys, dormers, and valleys
Penetrations: plumbing and exhaust vents
Ventilation: soffit intake and ridge or roof exhaust
Gutters and fascia: condition, pitch, and downspout discharge
Attic: water stains, damp insulation, mold, or daylight
Layers: whether shingles were installed over an older roof

You get a plain explanation and a free written estimate.

Roof Repair in Cherry Hill

Common roof repairs we handle:

Re-flashing wall transitions on split-level and bi-level homes
Replacing shingles lifted or blown off by wind
Re-flashing chimneys and dormers
Replacing cracked rubber boots around plumbing vents
Repairing valleys on complex roofs
Replacing rotted fascia and drip edge
Repairing damage from falling limbs

Roof leak repair starts with tracing water to its true entry point. On a split-level, a stain on a lower ceiling may come from a wall joint on the level above. Learn more about our roof repair and leak detection.

Roof Replacement in Cherry Hill

When shingles are worn across the roof, there are multiple layers, or leaks keep returning, roof replacement is the better investment. Our roof installation process:

Protect landscaping, siding, and walkways
Tear off all existing roofing down to the deck
Inspect the sheathing and replace damaged sections
Install waterproof leak barrier at the eaves, valleys, and wall transitions
Install underlayment over the rest of the deck
Install new drip edge, step flashing, and counter-flashing
Balance attic ventilation at the soffits and ridge
Install starter strips and shingles to the manufacturer’s specifications
Clean up and sweep for nails

Why We Remove the Old Roof

Many Cherry Hill homes have already been reroofed at least once, sometimes by installing over the original shingles. A full tear-off exposes soft decking, lets us replace worn flashing at every wall joint, and allows leak barrier to go where it belongs. It also removes weight from the framing and gives the new shingles a flat, solid surface.

What to Expect on Replacement Day

We protect plantings, walkways, and the sides of the house before work begins. Old roofing comes off in sections, and the roof is closed up against weather at the end of each workday. If tear-off reveals rotted decking, we show you before replacing it and explain how it affects the price. When the job is done, we clean the gutters, run a magnet over the yard and driveway, and walk the finished roof with you.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing and Installation

Architectural asphalt shingle roofing is the standard choice for pitched roofs in Cherry Hill. Dimensional shingles are heavier and more wind-resistant than the three-tab shingles found on many older homes, and they give mid-century houses a more updated look. On shaded lots, algae-resistant shingles help prevent dark streaks. For larger custom homes, we can discuss higher-end shingle lines that suit the architecture.

Ventilation and Ice Dams

In winter, warm air leaking into the attic melts snow on the roof, and the water refreezes at the cold eaves as ice dams. In summer, a hot attic bakes shingles from below. Balanced soffit and ridge ventilation, sealed attic openings, adequate insulation, and leak barrier at the eaves address both problems. Ventilation upgrades are easiest to make during a roof replacement.

Chimneys

Chimney repair needs include cracked crowns, worn mortar joints, spalling brick, loose caps, and failed flashing. We rebuild crowns, repoint mortar, rebuild chimneys that are past repair, and install new step and counter-flashing. Chimney flashing is replaced as part of every roof replacement. See our chimney repair and flashing page.

Gutters and Siding

We install and replace gutters and downspouts, repair rotted fascia, and route water away from foundations. Many mid-century homes have siding that is due for replacement around the same time as the roof. As siding contractors, we repair and install siding with proper flashing at windows, doors, and the roofline, and coordinating both projects makes the wall-to-roof flashing easier to get right. See our gutter and siding services.

Storm Damage

After a storm, check from the ground for missing shingles, limbs on the roof, bent flashing, and loose gutters, and look inside for new stains. Photograph damage before repairs. If you plan to file an insurance claim, coverage decisions belong to your insurer, but clear documentation helps. A temporary tarp limits interior damage until permanent repairs can be made.

A Simple Maintenance Routine

Spring: look for winter damage and check the attic for damp spots
Summer: trim branches back from the roof
Fall: clean gutters after the leaves drop
Winter: watch for ice buildup at the eaves
After storms: check from the ground

Signs Your Roof Needs Attention

Water stains on ceilings or walls
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
Granules in gutters or at downspouts
Damp insulation or daylight in the attic
Moss or heavy algae
Ice buildup at the eaves in winter

Repair or Replace?

If damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is usually enough. If shingles are worn throughout, there are multiple layers, or leaks keep moving, replacement is the better long-term choice. We give you our honest recommendation after the inspection.

What Affects the Cost

Roof size, pitch, and number of sections
Number of old layers to remove
Deck condition after tear-off
Wall transitions, chimneys, and dormers that need flashing
Valleys and complexity on custom homes
Ventilation upgrades
Shingle line and color

Questions to Ask at Your Estimate

How many layers will be removed, and how will deck repairs be priced?
Will all flashing be replaced, including at wall transitions?
What changes are planned for attic ventilation?
Whether any permit or approval applies, and when is the inspection?
Can roof and siding work be coordinated?

Hiring Tips

Get a written scope of work, confirm whether any permit or approval applies from the township, and ask how hidden deck damage will be priced. New Jersey generally requires home improvement contractors working on residential property to register with the Division of Consumer Affairs, and you can verify a registration online.

Cherry Hill Roofing FAQs

Do you serve all Cherry Hill neighborhoods?

Yes, from Erlton, Barclay, and Kingston Estates to Woodcrest, Springdale, Old Orchard, and the rest of the township.

Why does my split-level leak where the roofs meet the wall?

Those joints depend on step flashing and counter-flashing. When flashing fails or was sealed over instead of replaced, water gets behind it. Re-flashing usually solves the problem.

Several houses on my street are getting new roofs. Do I need one?

Not necessarily. Homes built together often age together, but an inspection tells you whether yours needs replacement or just repairs.

Should I replace the roof and siding at the same time?

It can make sense if both are near the end of their life, because the flashing where walls meet the roof can be done together.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof?

Usually not. Replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family home is generally treated as ordinary maintenance under New Jersey’s Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7), so a construction permit is usually not required. Structural work such as replacing rafters, attached homes, and historic-district or HOA rules can change that, so check with your municipal construction office or ask us during your free inspection.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most single-family replacements are completed in a short window once work begins, depending on roof size, complexity, deck repairs, and weather.

How do I choose a reliable roofing contractor?

Verify the contractor’s New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor registration, ask for a written scope that lists materials, flashing, ventilation, and decking terms, confirm whether any permit or approval applies, and request proof of insurance. Then compare estimates line by line, not just on price.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

Repair when the problem is localized, such as a split-level wall joint, a vent boot, or a few missing shingles, and the rest of the roof is sound. Replace when shingles are worn across most slopes, there are already two layers, or leaks keep appearing in different places.

How much does roof replacement cost in Cherry Hill?

Cost depends on roof size and pitch, the number of roof planes and wall junctions, layers to remove, decking repairs, flashing and ventilation work, the shingle line, access, and any permit or approval fees that apply. A split-level with several roof sections involves different work than a simple ranch. A free written estimate gives you the real number.

What are the signs of roof damage?

Granules collecting at downspouts, curled or cracked shingles, missing shingles after storms, stains below walls where roof sections meet, damp attic insulation, and moss or streaks on slopes shaded by mature trees.

Honest Roof Assessments for a Township Built in Waves

Because many Cherry Hill neighborhoods were built within a few years of each other, it is easy to assume every roof on the street needs replacing at once. Our approach looks at your roof specifically: Honest Roof Assessments. Clear Recommendations. Repairs When Possible. Replacement When Necessary. If your roof has years left with a targeted repair, we tell you. If it does not, we explain why.

Low-Pitch Sections and Split-Level Roofs

Split-level and bi-level homes often have roof sections with a lower pitch than a typical two-story roof, along with walls rising between roof levels. Lower-pitch sections drain more slowly, so water lingers and finds weaknesses. Before quoting, it is important to confirm each section’s pitch is suited to asphalt shingles and to plan the underlayment accordingly. On sections at the low end of what shingles can handle, ice and water shield over a larger area adds protection. Where roof sections meet walls, step flashing woven into every course and kick-out flashing at the bottom of each joint keep water out. Upper roofs that drain onto lower ones should have gutters or diverters that keep a concentrated stream from hitting the lower roof beside a wall.

Residential Roof Inspections in Cherry Hill

A thorough inspection covers:

Every roof plane, including lower split-level sections and garage roofs
Each wall junction between roof levels
Chimneys, plumbing vents, and exhaust vents
Valleys and areas below overhanging trees
Gutters and downspouts, including where upper roofs drain onto lower ones
Attic ventilation and insulation, and signs of condensation or leaks
Number of existing layers

You get a clear explanation and a free written estimate for any work recommended.

What a Clear Roofing Estimate Includes

Scope, listing every roof section and level
Number of layers to remove
Decking repair approach and pricing for extra plywood
Ice and water shield locations, including any expanded coverage on lower-pitch sections
Underlayment type
Drip edge at eaves and rakes
Flashing at every wall junction, chimney, and vent, including kick-outs
Ventilation plan for each attic area
Shingle line and color
Cleanup and protection of landscaping, driveways, and siding

Leak Diagnosis

Leaks in Cherry Hill homes often show up away from their source. On split-levels, water that enters at a wall junction can run down inside the wall and appear on the ceiling of the lower level. Diagnosis starts where the stain appears, checks the attic above, and then examines the nearest wall junction, chimney, or vent. Where siding was replaced without reinstalling flashing correctly, the joint between siding and roof is a frequent culprit.

Missing Shingles and Storm Damage

Long, simple slopes on ranch homes can let wind get under worn shingle edges, while taller homes catch more wind at the ridge. After a storm:

Photograph damage, debris, and fallen limbs from the ground, noting the date
Photograph interior stains
Keep shingles that came down
Schedule an inspection for close-up documentation

If you file a claim, your insurance company decides what is covered. We describe the damage and the repair accurately.

Flashing Essentials

Chimney flashing: step flashing up the sides, counter-flashing set into mortar joints, and a cricket behind wide chimneys
Step flashing: at every course where a roof meets a wall, including between split-level sections
Pipe flashing: new boots at plumbing vents
Kick-out flashing: at the bottom of every roof-to-wall joint

Decking, Underlayment, Ice and Water Shield, and Drip Edge

After tear-off, soft or delaminated plywood is replaced. On homes that have carried two layers, the deck near the eaves and around past leaks deserves close attention. Drip edge goes along eaves and rakes, ice and water shield at the eaves, valleys, and wall and chimney joints, and synthetic underlayment across the rest of the deck.

Ventilation in Split-Level and Mid-Century Attics

Split-levels and bi-levels often have more than one attic area, sometimes with very little space over lower sections. Each area needs intake and exhaust. Mid-century homes may have gable vents only, or a mix of exhaust types added over the years. During a replacement, setting up balanced soffit intake and ridge exhaust for each area protects the new roof and makes upper rooms more comfortable in summer.

Roof Replacement Process

Free inspection and written estimate
Shingle and color selection
Scheduling and site planning
Tear-off of all layers
Deck repair or replacement
Drip edge, ice and water shield, underlayment
Flashing at walls, chimneys, vents, and kick-outs
Asphalt shingles, ridge caps, and ventilation
Cleanup, magnetic nail sweep, and final walkthrough

Seasonal Maintenance Under Mature Trees

Spring: check for winter damage and granules in gutters
Summer: watch for hot upper rooms and storm damage
Fall: clean gutters and valleys, often twice under large trees
Winter: watch for icicles and ice ridges, especially on lower roof sections

Making an Informed Decision

Ask each contractor how they will handle wall junctions, lower-pitch sections, and ventilation for each attic area. Compare written estimates item by item, confirm New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor registration, and ask how hidden decking damage will be communicated.

A Closer Look at Roofs in Cherry Hill

Cherry Hill was Delaware Township until it took its present name in 1961, the same year the Cherry Hill Mall opened as the first enclosed mall in the eastern United States. Its population grew from about 10,000 in 1950 to more than 64,000 by 1970, and about 74,500 people now live across roughly 24 square miles in neighborhoods such as Ashland, Barclay, Ellisburg, Erlton, Colwick, Woodcrest, Old Orchard, Point of Woods, Kingston Estates, Springdale, Greentree, and Willowdale. The New Jersey Turnpike, Interstate 295, and Routes 38, 41, 70, and 154 all cross the township. Because so much of Cherry Hill was built in distinct waves, this section walks through the roof issues typical of each kind of home, then covers several topics this page has not yet addressed.

Homes From the Earliest Era

The township’s oldest buildings, such as Croft Farm, dating to 1753, and the Barclay Farm House of 1816, are a reminder that some properties predate the suburbs by centuries. Older farmhouses and homes in the township’s older neighborhoods may have board decking instead of plywood, chimneys that need new crowns and flashing, and rooflines altered by later additions. Expect the estimate to address decking allowances clearly, and expect careful flashing where old and new sections meet.

Post-War Ranches and Early Subdivisions

The homes built during the post-war boom are often ranches, Cape Cods, and early two-story houses with simple gable roofs. Typical findings include soffits with little or no intake venting, bath fans exhausting into the attic, chimneys with original flashing, and several layers of shingles from past re-roofs. A full tear-off, new underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves, and corrected ventilation give these straightforward roofs a fresh start.

Colonials and Larger Homes of Later Decades

As building continued into later decades, two-story colonials and larger homes added more roof planes, garages attached under lower roofs, and dormers. Each roof-to-wall joint needs step flashing and a kick-out, and each valley needs proper underlayment. On these homes, leaks often appear along walls under lower roofs rather than in the middle of a slope.

Recent Custom Homes

Recent building in Cherry Hill has mainly been custom homes. Their roofs often have many hips, valleys, and intersecting planes. More valleys and wall joints mean more places where workmanship matters, so ask how valleys will be built, how flashing will be installed at each wall, and how ventilation is balanced across separated attic spaces.

Townhouse and Association Communities

In communities with an association, check first whether the association or the owner is responsible for the roof, and whether any approval applies to materials and colors. Attached roofs share ridges and walls, so work on one unit should tie in cleanly with neighbors’ roofs.

Is It Hail or Wind?

Wind leaves missing, creased, or lifted shingles along edges and ridges. Hail leaves round bruises where granules are knocked off and dents gutters and metal vents. If you file a claim, your insurance company decides what is covered.

Reading Ceiling Stains

Bathroom ceilings: pipe boots or bath fan vents.
Near the chimney: flashing, crown, or mortar.
Along a wall below a lower roof: step flashing or a missing kick-out.
Under the eaves in winter: ice dams.
Center of a ceiling with nothing above: sometimes attic condensation.

Gutter Capacity on Larger Roofs

Large roof planes and valleys that dump onto one corner can overwhelm a gutter even when it is clean. Larger gutters or an added downspout can solve chronic overflow. Downspouts should carry water well away from the foundation.

Buying or Selling in Cherry Hill

Sellers should gather the installation date, written scope, and inspection reports. Buyers should ask for those records and look in the attic for stains and damp insulation. A roof inspection gives both sides a clear picture of condition.

Keeping a Roof Record

Keep the installation date, shingle product and color, written scope, inspection reports, storm photos, and receipts together. Records make repairs easier to match and answer buyers’ questions.

Preparing for Replacement Day

Clear the driveway for materials and the dumpster, move patio furniture and planters away from the house, take fragile items off upper-floor walls, and cover belongings stored in the attic. On lots with mature trees and landscaping, point out beds and shrubs that need protection near the drip line. Keep pets and children away from the work area until the final magnetic nail sweep, and make sure someone is reachable during tear-off in case a decision is needed about damaged decking.
