A small borough under heavy old shade off Warwick Road. Roof replacement for houses where one slope never fully dries out.
Somerdale covers a little over a square mile between Warwick Road and the Somerdale Road corridor, and the trees planted when the borough filled in during the 1920s through the 1950s are now full grown. Capes, twins and small colonials sit under real canopy. That is pleasant in August and hard on a roof, particularly the north and east slopes.
On shaded houses we pay attention to what the shade does: moss at the laps, debris in the valleys, and a deck that stays cool and damp. Replacement means algae-resistant shingle, open metal valleys where leaves collect, and ventilation that actually moves air. Somerdale Borough’s construction office issues the roof permit and inspects the finished work under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Under heavy canopy the shaded side of a Somerdale roof stays damp for most of the year, and that is where moss, algae and lifted shingle edges start.
Moss growing between courses lifts shingle edges and wicks water sideways under them.
Valleys under mature trees clog, hold water and freeze, so we prefer open metal there.
Branches resting on shingles scour granules off every time the wind moves them.
The borough’s own construction office permits and inspects roofing work in Somerdale.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Trimming limbs off the roof surface is one of the cheapest things you can do for a shingle. Branches that touch scrub granules away and keep the deck wet, and they drop debris straight into the valleys. We are not tree contractors, but we will show you which limbs matter.
Yes. A tear-off and replacement needs a construction permit from Somerdale Borough’s construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, and the job closes with a municipal inspection. We file it, pull it, and meet the inspector when the roof is done.
If the shingles still have granule cover and the mat is sound, cleaning and a zinc or copper strip at the ridge will hold it back. If the moss has been there long enough to lift laps and expose the mat, cleaning just reveals the damage. We tell you which one you have.
Look for a hot attic in summer, frost on the underside of the deck in winter, and rusted nail points. Those all say the air is not moving. We measure intake at the soffit against exhaust at the ridge, because adding a ridge vent without intake makes very little difference.
