Westmont’s tree canopy is one of its best features and hardest on roofs. Shade, leaf debris and moss keep these slopes damp most of the year.
Westmont is the main village of Haddon Township, built around the PATCO station and the Haddon Avenue shops. The houses date from the 1910s through the 1940s, mostly twins and modest singles, and the street trees planted with them are now full grown. Sycamores and oaks arch over whole blocks. That canopy shades roofs, drops leaves into every valley and gutter, and keeps north slopes from drying out.
So we treat debris and drainage as part of the roof rather than an afterthought. Valleys get open metal or a clean woven detail, gutters and downspouts get checked for pitch, and shaded slopes get algae-resistant shingles. Permits for Westmont addresses are issued by the Haddon Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Leaf litter holds water in valleys and behind chimneys, and moisture sitting on a shingle mat through a wet spring shortens the roof’s life measurably.
Debris dams in a valley divert water sideways under the shingle courses.
Damp north slopes grow moss that lifts granules and streaks the shingle surface.
Undersized or flat-pitched gutters overflow at the eave and rot out the fascia.
Westmont sits in Haddon Township, whose construction office issues the roofing permit.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Westmont is a section of Haddon Township, not a separate borough, so the permit comes from the Haddon Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Nearby Collingswood, Oaklyn and Haddon Heights each have their own offices, so we confirm the municipality from your block and lot.
Moss holds water against the shingle and works under the edges, so yes, over time. On a shaded Westmont slope it comes back after cleaning. When we replace, algae-resistant shingles with copper granules plus better airflow at the ridge keeps that slope drier for longer.
Under heavy tree cover they help, but they do not end cleaning. What matters more is that the gutter is pitched correctly, the downspouts are clear and the drip edge sends water into the trough rather than behind it. We check all three and say whether guards are worth it.
On attached twins it is often worth it. A single tear-off across the shared wall gives a cleaner detail than two separate jobs years apart, and the crew is already set up. Ask us for separate numbers so each owner sees their own cost clearly.
