Roofing Companies in Haddon Township, NJ

Haddon Township is a compact township of about 2.8 square miles in Camden County, named for Elizabeth Haddon, an early Quaker settler. It was incorporated in 1865 from parts of Newton Township, though settlement along Newton Creek goes back to 1681. The 2020 census counted about 15,400 residents, and the township had about 6,500 housing units in 2010. Westmont is its downtown, with a PATCO station and the Ritz Theatre, a 1927 Colonial Revival building listed on the National Register in 2002. The Newton Union Schoolhouse dates to 1821.

The township is made up of many neighborhoods, including Westmont, Bluebird, Bettlewood, Heather Glen, West Collingswood Heights, Saddlertown, Crystal Lake, Cuthbert, and Oakdale. U.S. Routes 30 and 130, Route 168, County Route 561, and Route 76C cross it. Haddon Township borders Audubon, Audubon Park, Camden, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Gloucester City, Haddonfield, Mount Ephraim, and Oaklyn.

Our roofing contractors repair and replace residential roofs, repair chimneys and chimney flashing, handle storm-related roof damage, and install gutters and siding.

Roofing Considerations in Haddon Township

Many neighborhoods, many eras

With so many distinct neighborhoods in less than three square miles, Haddon Township has homes from several periods of building. A roof inspection here starts by looking at what kind of roof the house actually has: steep roofs with dormers and brick chimneys on older houses, simpler low-pitched roofs on mid-century homes, and additions and porches that were added later and tie into the original roof.

Roofs already reroofed

Many homes are on their second or third roof. Earlier reroofs were sometimes installed over the original shingles, and flashing was sometimes patched rather than replaced. When it is time for a new roof, a full tear-off shows the true condition of the deck.

Mature trees and creeks

Older neighborhoods have tall shade trees, and areas near Newton Creek and Crystal Lake stay damp. Leaves clog gutters and valleys, branches scrape shingles, and shaded slopes grow moss and algae.

Compact lots

Homes sit close together on many streets. We plan dumpster placement and material delivery, protect neighboring property, and keep sidewalks clear.

Freeze-thaw winters

Water that gets into cracked chimney crowns, mortar joints, and old sealant freezes and widens those gaps every winter.

What a Roof Inspection Covers

• Shingles: granule loss, cracking, curling, wind damage, and missing pieces
• Flashing: chimneys, dormers, sidewalls, valleys, and porch roofs
• 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: how many roofs are already on the house

Roof Repair in Haddon Township

Common roof repairs we handle:

• Re-flashing chimneys, dormers, and sidewalls
• Replacing shingles lifted or blown off by wind
• Repairing leaks where additions and porches meet the house
• Replacing cracked plumbing vent boots
• Repairing valleys clogged with leaves
• Replacing rotted fascia and drip edge
• Repairing damage from falling limbs

Roof leak repair starts with tracing water to its true entry point, which is often a flashing joint some distance from the stain. Learn more about our roof repair and leak detection.

Roof Replacement in Haddon Township

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:

1. Protect landscaping, siding, walkways, and neighboring property
2. Tear off all existing roofing down to the deck
3. Inspect plywood or board decking and replace damaged sections
4. Install waterproof leak barrier at the eaves, valleys, and around chimneys
5. Install underlayment over the rest of the deck
6. Install new drip edge, step flashing, and counter-flashing
7. Check and improve attic ventilation
8. Install starter strips and shingles to the manufacturer’s specifications
9. Clean up and sweep for nails

Why We Remove the Old Roof

Installing new shingles over old ones hides soft decking and worn flashing, adds weight, and can affect how the manufacturer treats the roof. A full tear-off lets us repair the deck, replace every piece of flashing, and install leak barrier where it belongs.

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 the township. Dimensional shingles are heavier and more wind-resistant than three-tab shingles, and they suit both older and mid-century homes. On shaded lots, algae-resistant shingles help prevent dark streaks. We bring samples so you can see colors against your siding and trim.

Additions and Porches

Additions and porches are common places for leaks because they were built later than the main house and tie into it at a wall or an existing roof. The quality of that joint depends on step flashing, counter-flashing, and in some cases a cricket or saddle to steer water around an obstruction. When we replace a roof, we rebuild these joints rather than sealing over them. If a porch roof is too low in pitch for shingles, we tell you plainly.

Ventilation and Ice Dams

In winter, warm air leaking into the attic melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves as ice dams. In summer, a hot attic ages shingles faster. Balanced soffit and ridge ventilation, sealed attic openings, adequate insulation, and leak barrier at the eaves address both problems.

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. 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. As siding contractors, we repair storm-damaged siding and install new siding with proper flashing at windows, doors, and the roofline. 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
• Damp insulation or daylight in the attic
• Moss or heavy algae
• Sagging rooflines

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
• Chimneys, dormers, additions, and porches that need flashing
• Ventilation upgrades
• Access on a compact lot
• 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 additions and porches?
• What changes are planned for attic ventilation?
• Whether any permit or approval applies, and when is the inspection?

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.

Haddon Township Roofing FAQs

Do you serve Westmont and the other neighborhoods?

Yes, including Westmont, Bluebird, Crystal Lake, West Collingswood Heights, Saddlertown, and the rest of the township.

Is Haddon Township the same as Haddonfield or Haddon Heights?

No. They are three separate municipalities. We serve all three.

My addition leaks where it meets the house. Can that be fixed without a new roof?

Often, yes. Rebuilding the flashing at that joint usually stops the leak if the rest of the roof is sound.

Why are there dark streaks on my roof?

Usually algae, which grows on shaded, damp roofs. Algae-resistant shingles help when the roof is replaced.

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.

Honest Roof Assessments Across Many Eras of Homes

Haddon Township’s neighborhoods were built over many decades, and many roofs have already been replaced at least once. We approach each one with the same standard: Honest Roof Assessments. Clear Recommendations. Repairs When Possible. Replacement When Necessary.

Weather Along Newton Creek and Under Mature Trees

Newton Creek, Crystal Lake, and the township’s mature trees bring shade and moisture to many roofs. Shaded slopes dry slowly, encouraging algae streaks and moss. Leaves fill valleys and gutters each fall. Winter freeze-thaw cycles work on chimney mortar and old sealant, and summer thunderstorms test worn shingle edges. Keeping gutters and valleys clear and making sure the attic is ventilated go a long way here.

Residential Roof Inspections

Each inspection includes:

• Shingle condition on every slope
• Flashing at chimneys, walls, additions, and porch roofs
• Vents and other penetrations
• Gutters, downspouts, and fascia
• Attic ventilation, insulation, and signs of moisture
• Number of roofing layers

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

What a Clear Estimate Includes

1. Scope and every roof section included
2. Layers to remove
3. Decking repair approach and pricing
4. Ice and water shield locations and underlayment type
5. Drip edge
6. Flashing replacement: chimney, step, pipe, kick-out
7. Ventilation plan
8. Shingle line and color
9. Cleanup and protection on close lots

Leak Diagnosis

We trace leaks from the stain inside, through the attic, to the entry point. On Haddon Township homes, additions and porch roofs are frequent sources, along with chimneys, vent boots, and leaf-clogged valleys. Repairing the actual entry point keeps the leak from returning.

Flashing

• Chimney: step flashing on the sides, counter-flashing set into mortar, and a cricket behind wide chimneys
• Walls and additions: step flashing at every course, with siding lapped over
• Pipes: new boots when the rubber cracks
• Kick-outs: at the bottom of roof-to-wall joints

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

After tear-off, damaged decking is replaced. Drip edge is installed along eaves and rakes, ice and water shield at the eaves, valleys, and around chimneys and walls, and synthetic underlayment over the rest.

Ventilation

Balanced soffit intake and ridge exhaust keep attic heat and moisture in check. On homes reroofed in the past, mixed exhaust types and blocked soffits are common and best corrected during replacement.

Replacement Process

1. Free inspection and estimate
2. Shingle and color selection
3. Scheduling
4. Tear-off to the deck
5. Deck repair
6. Drip edge, ice and water shield, underlayment

More Haddon Township Roofing Questions

Why does my roof have moss only on one side?

Shaded slopes stay damp longer, letting moss grow. Trimming branches and gentle removal help.

Can mixed roof vents cause problems?

Yes. Mixing exhaust types can disrupt airflow. An inspection checks whether your attic is affected.

A Closer Look at Roofs in Haddon Township

Haddon Township, named for Elizabeth Haddon, covers less than three square miles but holds about 15,400 residents in neighborhoods such as Westmont, its downtown, along with Bluebird, Bettlewood, Heather Glen, West Collingswood Heights, Saddlertown, Crystal Lake, Cuthbert, and Oakdale. Settlement along Newton Creek dates to 1681, the Newton Union Schoolhouse was built in 1821, and the Colonial Revival Ritz Theatre opened in 1927. U.S. Routes 30 and 130, Route 168, and County Route 561 cross the township, and PATCO stops at Westmont. This section is built around the decisions a Haddon Township homeowner faces over the life of a roof, from the first sign of trouble to keeping records afterward, and covers ground this page has not yet addressed.

Decision 1: Is This Worth a Call?

Some signs call for a prompt inspection; others can be watched. Call when you see:

• A stain on a ceiling or wall, especially one that grows after rain.
• Missing, creased, or lifted shingles after wind.
• Daylight in the attic around a chimney or vent.
• Loose or bent flashing, or a gutter pulling away.
• Heavy granules collecting at downspouts on a roof of uncertain age.

Things you can usually watch and mention at the next inspection include light algae streaks, a few granules after a new installation, and moss starting in shaded spots.

Decision 2: Repair or Replace?

A repair makes sense when the roof is in reasonable overall condition and the problem is local: a pipe boot, a few shingles, or flashing at one chimney. Replacement becomes the better choice when shingles are worn across whole slopes, when leaks keep appearing in different places, when there are multiple layers, or when decking has softened. An honest inspection should explain which situation you are in and why.

Decision 3: Which Shingle and Color?

Architectural shingles are the standard for replacements. Under the mature trees of neighborhoods like Bluebird and Bettlewood, algae-resistant shingles help shaded slopes stay cleaner. Lighter colors absorb less heat on sunny lots; darker or blended colors hide streaks. View full-size samples against your siding, brick, and trim in daylight, and look at houses nearby with similar styles.

Decision 4: What About the Chimney?

If the chimney’s crown is cracked or its flashing is failing, the replacement is the right time to address it. Loose bricks or a leaning stack may call for a partial rebuild above the roofline; otherwise new step and counter flashing and a repaired crown are usually enough.

Decision 5: How Should Gutters and Siding Be Handled?

Ask whether drip edge will be installed under the first course, whether gutters will be reset to sit just below it, and whether kick-out flashing will be added at the bottom of each roof-to-wall joint. Where lower roofs meet siding, missing kick-outs are a common cause of stained siding and rotted trim.

Decision 6: How Will Hidden Damage Be Handled?

The estimate should state how much decking replacement is included and the price for more, and you should be shown any added damage before extra work proceeds.

Decision 7: How Do I Get Ready?

Clear the driveway for materials and a dumpster, check whether street placement needs approval, move patio furniture, take fragile items off upper-floor walls, cover attic belongings, and let close neighbors know the schedule.

Decision 8: What Records Should I Keep?

Keep the installation date, product and color, written scope, inspection reports, storm photos, and receipts. Records help match future repairs and answer buyers’ questions when you sell.

Is It Hail or Wind?

Wind leaves missing or creased shingles along edges; hail bruises shingles and dents gutters and vents. If you file a claim, your insurance company decides what is covered.

Preventing Ice Dams

Ice dams form when heat leaking from the living space melts snow on the upper roof and the water refreezes at the colder eave, backing up under the shingles. Prevention starts inside: seal air leaks around attic hatches, recessed lights, and plumbing and chimney chases, keep insulation even with baffles holding soffit vents open, and provide balanced exhaust near the ridge. On a replacement, ice and water shield along the eaves and in valleys protects the areas where ice forms. Use a roof rake from the ground rather than chipping ice.

Buying or Selling a Home

Sellers should gather the roof’s installation date, written scope, and inspection reports before listing. Buyers should ask for the same records and check the attic for stains, damp insulation, and daylight around penetrations. A roof inspection gives both sides a clear, written description of condition.

More Haddon Township Roof Questions

Are a few granules in my gutters a problem?

A few loose granules are normal, especially after a new installation. Heavy amounts on an older roof suggest wear.

When does repairing stop making sense?

When wear covers whole slopes, leaks recur in different spots, or decking has softened, replacement is usually the better value.

What is kick-out flashing and do I need it?

It is a bent piece of flashing at the bottom of a roof-to-wall joint that directs water into the gutter, and most such joints need one.

Should my chimney be addressed during a replacement?

Yes. With surrounding shingles off, it is the best time to replace flashing and repair the crown.
