Roofing Companies in Evesham Township (Marlton), NJ
Evesham Township, home to the community of Marlton, is one of the largest towns in Burlington County, with about 46,800 residents on roughly 30 square miles. It dates back to 1688, when it was formed as “Eversham,” and was incorporated in 1798. The name Marlton comes from marl, a mineral fertilizer that was mined in the area until 1930. Evesham borders Medford and Mount Laurel in Burlington County and Berlin Township, Cherry Hill, Voorhees, and Waterford in Camden County, and part of the township lies in the Pinelands. Routes 70 and 73 and County Route 544 are its main roads; the old Marlton Circle at their junction was replaced by a grade-separated interchange in 2011.
Evesham changed quickly in the second half of the twentieth century. Starting in the 1950s, farms were sold to developers for the first housing developments, and the population nearly tripled between 1960 and 1970. Even a former Nike Ajax missile site, opened in 1955, was converted to housing by the mid-1990s. The township includes the Marlton census-designated place and the locally regulated Olde Marlton historic district, as well as places such as Berlin Heights, Cambridge Park, Cropwell, Crowfoot, Evesboro, Gibbs Mill, Milford, Pine Grove, and Tomlinsons Mill. The Milford Settlement, a stop on the Underground Railroad, was added to the New Jersey Black Heritage list in 2025. Evesham has more than 18,000 housing units.

Roofing Across Evesham and Marlton
Olde Marlton
Older homes in the Olde Marlton historic district may have board decking, multiple past layers of roofing, older chimneys, and flashing patched over the years. Because the district is locally regulated, check with the township about any review requirements before choosing roofing materials or colors. A careful repair often preserves more of an older house, and a full tear-off lets us see and repair the deck when replacement is needed.
Developments from the 1960s and 1970s
Homes built in the township’s early development boom are now well into their second or third roof. Common issues include shingles that have lost their granules, more than one layer of roofing, flashing reused during earlier reroofs, cracked vent boots, and attics with too little ventilation.
Newer neighborhoods and association communities
Newer homes often have complex rooflines with valleys, dormers, porches, and garages that meet second-story walls, each relying on correct flashing. In townhome and condominium communities, roof responsibility may rest with the association or the owner, so check your community’s documents before scheduling work.
The Pinelands edge
In the parts of Evesham that reach into the Pinelands, homes sit among pines and oaks. Needles collect in valleys and gutters, branches rub shingles, and shaded slopes grow moss.
Busy corridors
Homes near Routes 70 and 73 collect more road grime, which can clog gutters and roof vents faster.
What a Roof Inspection Covers
- Shingles: granule loss, cracking, curling, wind damage, and missing pieces
- Flashing: walls, chimneys, valleys, porches, dormers, and garage-to-wall joints
- Penetrations: plumbing vents and roof vents
- Ventilation: soffit intake and ridge or roof exhaust
- Gutters and fascia: condition, pitch, and downspout discharge
- Attic: stains, damp insulation, mold, or daylight
- Layers: how many roofs are already on the house
You get a plain explanation and a free written estimate.
Roof Repair in Evesham Township
Typical roof repairs include:
- Replacing cracked rubber boots around plumbing vents
- Re-flashing porch roofs and garages where they meet second-story walls
- Replacing shingles damaged by wind or falling branches
- Clearing valleys and replacing shingles worn by trapped needles and leaves
- Re-flashing chimneys and dormers
- Replacing damaged drip edge
Roof leak repair starts with tracing water to its true entry point, which may be several feet from the stain inside. Learn more about our roof repair and leak detection.
Roof Replacement in Evesham Township
When shingles are worn across the roof, there are multiple layers, or leaks keep returning, roof replacement is the better long-term investment. Our process:
- Confirm any historic district or association requirements before scheduling
- Tear off all existing roofing down to the deck
- Inspect the deck and replace damaged sheathing
- Install waterproof leak barrier at the eaves, valleys, wall intersections, and penetrations
- Install underlayment across the remaining deck
- Install new drip edge, step flashing, and counter-flashing
- Check and improve soffit and ridge ventilation
- Install starter strips and shingles to the manufacturer’s specifications
- Clean up and sweep the property for nails
What to Expect on Replacement Day
Before work begins, we confirm where the dumpster and materials will go, following any community rules, and protect landscaping, walkways, and the sides of the house. Old roofing comes off in sections, and the roof is closed up against weather at the end of each day. 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 up, 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 Evesham. Dimensional shingles are heavier and more wind-resistant than older three-tab shingles and come in many colors. On shaded lots near the pines, algae-resistant shingles help prevent dark streaks. In association communities and the historic district, confirm color and material choices before ordering.
Ventilation and Ice Dams
In winter, warm air leaking into the attic can melt snow that refreezes at the eaves as ice dams, pushing water under shingles. In summer, a hot attic ages shingles faster and makes upstairs rooms hotter. Balanced soffit and ridge ventilation, adequate insulation, and leak barrier at the eaves reduce both problems.
Chimneys
Many Evesham homes have brick or masonry chimneys. Chimney repair needs include cracked crowns, worn mortar joints, spalling brick, and failed flashing. We repair and rebuild crowns, repoint mortar, rebuild chimneys that are beyond repair, and install new chimney flashing. 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. Near the pines, gutters clog quickly. We also repair damaged siding and install new siding with careful flashing at windows, corners, and the roofline. See our gutter and siding services.
Storm Damage
After a thunderstorm or nor’easter, check from the ground for missing shingles, fallen limbs, bent flashing, and loose gutters, and look for new stains inside. 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 are made.
A Simple Maintenance Routine
- Spring: clear needles from valleys and gutters, and check the attic for damp spots
- Summer: trim branches back from the roof
- Fall: clean gutters and valleys after leaves and needles drop
- After storms: check from the ground for damage
Signs Your Roof Needs Attention
- Water stains on ceilings, especially below a wall above a garage or porch
- Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
- Granules collecting in gutters
- Moss on shaded slopes
- Damp insulation or daylight in the attic
Repair or Replace?
If damage is limited and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is usually enough. If shingles are worn across the roof, there are multiple layers, or leaks keep moving, replacement is the better investment. We give you our honest recommendation after the inspection.
What Affects the Cost
- Roof size, pitch, and complexity
- Number of old layers to remove
- Deck condition after tear-off
- Dormers, porches, garages, and chimneys that need flashing
- Material choices and any association or district guidelines
- Access, trees, and dumpster placement
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 porches and garages?
- Does my home need historic district or association approval?
- What changes are planned for attic ventilation?
- Whether any permit or approval applies, and when is the inspection?
Hiring Tips
Ask for 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. Be cautious of unsolicited offers after storms.
Evesham Township Roofing FAQs
Is Marlton the same as Evesham Township?
Marlton is the main community within Evesham Township. This page covers both.
My home is in Olde Marlton. Does my roof need review?
It may. Olde Marlton is a locally regulated historic district. Check with the township before choosing materials.
I live in a townhome community. Who handles my roof?
It depends on your association. Check your governing documents or ask the management office.
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, layers, deck repairs, and weather.

Roof Advice You Can Trust
Evesham has historic homes, homes from the 1960s and 1970s building boom, and newer houses in association communities. Each kind of roof ages differently, and each deserves a straight answer. We hold every inspection to this standard: Honest Roof Assessments. Clear Recommendations. Repairs When Possible. Replacement When Necessary. If a repair will give your roof more good years, we recommend it. If the roof is worn out, we explain why and walk you through replacement.
Monarch Roofing & Construction is a registered New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor, registration #13VH12036000. Roof inspections and roofing estimates are free.
Weather on the Edge of the Pinelands
Part of Evesham lies in the Pinelands, and much of the township has generous tree cover. That setting shapes how roofs wear. Pine needles collect in valleys and gutters and can mat together, holding water against shingles. Shaded slopes stay damp after rain, inviting moss and algae. Summer thunderstorms bring gusty winds that test shingle seals along eaves, rakes, and ridges, and occasional hail can bruise shingles. In winter, freeze-thaw cycles work on chimney mortar and flashing sealant, and ice can build along gutters on homes with heat loss into the attic. A well-built roof with clear valleys, good drainage, and balanced ventilation handles all of this, but neglected details tend to show up as leaks.
What We Look at During a Residential Roof Inspection
- Shingle condition on each slope: granule loss, cracking, curling, lifted or creased tabs, and missing pieces
- Valleys: debris, wear, and how they were built
- Flashing: chimneys, walls, dormers, and porch roofs
- Penetrations: plumbing vents, bath and kitchen exhaust, and older roof vents
- Gutters and fascia: clogs, pitch, and whether downspouts carry water away from the house
- Attic: ventilation, insulation over soffits, stains on decking, damp spots, and mold
- Number of roofing layers
After the inspection, you get a clear explanation of what we found, photos where helpful, and a free written estimate if anything needs work.
Reading a Roofing Estimate
A clear estimate should answer these questions without a follow-up call:
- Is this a repair or a full replacement, and which areas are included?
- How many existing layers will be removed?
- How will damaged decking be handled, and what does extra decking cost?
- Where will ice and water shield be installed?
- What underlayment covers the rest of the deck?
- Is new drip edge included at the eaves and rakes?
- Which flashing is being replaced: chimney, step, pipe boots, kick-outs?
- What is the ventilation plan?
- Which shingle line and color are specified?
- How will cleanup and protection of landscaping be handled?
Leaks, Missing Shingles, and Storm Damage
When a leak appears, diagnosis starts in the attic, tracing stains uphill to where water actually enters. On boom-era homes, common sources are reused chimney flashing, cracked vent boots, and valleys clogged with needles and leaves. On newer homes with complex roofs, leaks more often trace to wall joints, especially where a garage or porch roof meets a two-story wall and kick-out flashing was missed.
Missing shingles should be replaced promptly. A gap exposes the underlayment, which is not meant to be a weather surface, and wind tends to peel back the shingles around an opening. After a storm, photograph any damage from the ground with dates, photograph interior stains, keep fallen shingles, and schedule an inspection. If you file a claim, the insurance company decides what is covered.
Flashing: Where Most Leaks Begin
- Chimney flashing: step flashing up the sides, an apron at the front, counter-flashing set into mortar joints, and a cricket behind wide chimneys
- Step flashing: one piece per course along walls and dormers, with siding or trim lapped over
- Pipe flashing: new boots at plumbing vents with every replacement
- Kick-out flashing: at the bottom of each roof-to-wall joint, keeping water out of the wall
Decking, Underlayment, Ice and Water Shield, and Drip Edge
After tear-off, every sheet of plywood or board of decking is checked. Soft, delaminated, or rotted wood is replaced, and older homes in Olde Marlton may need boards replaced or plywood added. Then come drip edge at the eaves and rakes, ice and water shield at the eaves, in valleys, and around chimneys and walls, and synthetic underlayment across the rest of the deck. On roofs that collect pine needles in valleys, the ice and water shield beneath the valleys is especially important.
Attic Ventilation
An attic that breathes properly has intake vents low at the soffits and exhaust near the ridge. That airflow keeps attic temperatures closer to outdoor temperatures in summer and carries moisture out in winter. Common problems include insulation blocking the soffits, too little exhaust for the attic size, and several exhaust types mixed together. Fixing these during a replacement protects the new shingles and the deck.
Deciding Between Repair and Replacement
A repair is usually right when the problem is localized and the rest of the roof is sound. Replacement makes more sense when wear is widespread, leaks are appearing in multiple places, multiple layers are present, or old flashing throughout the roof is failing. Age alone does not decide it; condition does. We explain our reasoning either way.
Roof Replacement, Start to Finish
- Free inspection and written estimate
- Shingle and color selection, plus any Olde Marlton review or association approval that applies
- Scheduling and planning for the dumpster, driveway, and landscaping
- Tear-off of all existing layers
- Deck repair or replacement
- Drip edge, ice and water shield, underlayment
- Flashing at chimneys, walls, pipes, and valleys
- Asphalt shingles with sealed starter courses and secured ridge caps
- Ventilation installation
- Cleanup, nail sweep, and walkthrough
Seasonal Maintenance Near the Pines
- Spring: check for winter damage and clear any needles that collected over winter
- Summer: watch for hot attic conditions and new shingle damage after storms
- Fall: clean gutters and valleys, sometimes more than once under pines and oaks
- Winter: note icicles and ice ridges at the eaves, which can point to ventilation or insulation issues
Choosing a Roofer: How to Make an Informed Decision
Gather written estimates and compare them line by line. Confirm New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor registration. Ask how hidden damage will be communicated and priced. A contractor who explains the reasons behind each item, and who recommends repair when repair is enough, is the one most likely to give you an honest roof.

Which Monarch office is closest to Evesham Township?

Do pine needles really damage roofs?
They can. Needles mat in valleys and gutters, hold moisture against shingles, and slow drainage. Keeping them cleared helps prevent leaks.
My home was built in the 1970s. Is the original decking still usable?
Often much of it is, but sections near eaves, valleys, and past leaks may need replacement. That can only be confirmed after tear-off.
Is moss on my roof a sign I need a new roof?
Not by itself. Moss should be removed gently and the shading or drainage issue addressed. Widespread shingle damage under the moss is what would point toward replacement.
Do you repair chimneys?
Yes. We repair and rebuild chimneys and replace chimney flashing.

A Closer Look at Roofs in Evesham Township
Evesham Township, home to Marlton, changed quickly in the second half of the twentieth century. Farms were sold to developers starting in the 1950s, the population nearly tripled between 1960 and 1970, and even a former Nike Ajax missile site, opened in 1955, was converted to housing by the mid-1990s. Today the township has more than 18,000 homes across about 30 square miles, from the Olde Marlton historic district to newer association communities, with part of the township in the Pinelands. This section looks at roofs by the era of the home, then covers topics not yet on this page: gutters under pines, hail versus wind damage, shingle colors in association communities, where siding meets the roof, and the first steps when a leak appears.
Roofs by the Era of the Home
Olde Marlton and older farmhouses
Older homes may have plank decking, steep roofs, porches, and brick chimneys, with earlier layers of roofing underneath. A full tear-off lets each board be checked, chimney mortar and crowns should be inspected along with flashing, and drip edge can usually be added discreetly. Because the district is locally regulated, check with the township before choosing materials or colors.
Homes from the 1950s through the 1970s boom
These homes are often on their second or third roof. Replacement commonly reveals multiple layers, softened plywood near the eaves, flashing reused from earlier reroofs, little or no ice barrier, and attics with gable vents or mixed exhaust. Removing every layer, replacing soft decking, installing new flashing, and setting up one balanced ventilation system give the new roof a sound start.
Homes from later decades, including former Nike site housing
These roofs are typically on their first or second replacement. Common issues include cracked pipe boots, worn valleys, and wall junctions at garages and porches where kick-out flashing may be missing.
Newer association communities
Newer homes often have complex rooflines and tight construction. Leaks tend to come from flashing details rather than worn shingles, and blown insulation over soffit vents is a frequent cause of attic heat and moisture. Association rules may govern colors and materials.
Gutters Under Pines
In the Pinelands parts of the township, needles collect in gutters and valleys most of the year and mat together. Gutters may need cleaning more than twice a year under heavy pine cover. Gutter guards can reduce cleaning, though needles can still collect on some guard types, so occasional maintenance remains necessary. Drip edge should carry water into the gutter, and downspouts should discharge away from foundations.
Hail Versus Wind Damage
Summer storms can bring both. Wind damage appears as missing, creased, or lifted shingles along edges and ridges; hail leaves bruises where granules are knocked off and dents in gutters, downspouts, and vents. Dented metal is a useful clue from the ground. If you file a claim, your insurance company decides what is covered.
Shingle Colors in Association Communities
Many communities have an approved list of colors or products. Check your governing documents, get full-size samples of the approved choices, and view them against your siding in daylight. Submit any required application with the product name and a written scope before materials are ordered.
Where Siding Meets the Roof
Garage and porch roofs that meet two-story walls need step flashing behind the siding at every course and a kick-out at the bottom. Swollen or stained siding below these joints is a sign of trouble, and siding replacement is a good time to correct them.
The First Steps When a Leak Appears
Turn off power to any wet fixtures, catch drips, move belongings, photograph everything with dates, and check the attic with a flashlight if it is safe. Stay off the roof in wet weather and schedule an inspection.
Ice Dams on Shaded and Older Roofs
Homes on wooded lots near the Pinelands hold snow longer on shaded slopes, and older homes often lose heat through air leaks into the attic. Together, those conditions make ice dams more likely. Sealing gaps around attic hatches, recessed lights, and chases, keeping insulation even with baffles at the eaves, and providing balanced ridge exhaust keep the roof deck cold enough to prevent most ice dams. On a replacement, ice and water shield along the eaves and in valleys adds a sealed layer where ice forms. If ice builds up, use a roof rake from the ground rather than chipping it, and watch for stains along the tops of exterior walls after thaws.
Keeping Records
Keep a folder with the installation date, shingle product and color, the written scope, any association approval, inspection reports, and dated photos. Records make future repairs easier to match and help when selling.
More Evesham Township Roof Questions
My home was built in the 1970s. What should I expect at replacement?
Often multiple layers, some soft decking near the eaves, old flashing, and ventilation that needs balancing.
Do gutter guards work under pine trees?
They can reduce cleaning, but needles can still collect on some guards, so periodic maintenance is still needed.
Does my association need to approve my shingle color?
Many do. Check your governing documents and submit product information before ordering.
Why does my newer home leak if the shingles look fine?
Leaks on newer roofs usually come from flashing details such as missing kick-outs or failed pipe boots.
