A borough that has governed itself since 1926 and permits its own roofs. Replacement work on Lawnside’s older single-family stock.
Lawnside covers about a square and a half mile between the White Horse Pike and Warwick Road. It was incorporated in 1926 as the first self-governing Black municipality north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and it stayed a town of homeowners. That shows up on the roofs. Small single-family houses, modest gable and hip planes, and long records of repairs done a piece at a time rather than all at once.
We price a full replacement rather than another patch, and we open a section first so the number reflects the decking underneath. Architectural shingle, ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, new flashing at chimneys and rakes. Permits and inspections for a Lawnside roof come from the Borough of Lawnside under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

When a roof has been patched in four or five places over thirty years, the shingle is rarely the problem and the decking underneath usually is.
Layers of sealant and roll goods hide what the deck below is actually doing.
Membrane carried past the wall line stops meltwater backing up under the shingles.
Masonry chimneys on these houses need new step and counterflashing, not more tar.
The Borough of Lawnside issues and inspects every roofing permit in town.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Yes. A tear-off and replacement is permitted work under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, and the permit comes from the Borough of Lawnside rather than from Camden County. We file the application, meet the inspector at the end of the job, and leave the closed permit with your warranty paperwork.
Sometimes, and we will tell you when it is. But once the patches start overlapping, each new one is holding back water that has already been into the deck. We open a section during the estimate so you are choosing between a real repair and a real replacement.
Heat escaping into the attic melts snow higher up the roof, then that water refreezes over the cold eave and backs up under the shingles. Ice-and-water membrane run well past the exterior wall handles it. Balanced soffit and ridge ventilation keeps the deck cold enough that less of it forms.
Almost always. Architectural shingle weighs a little more than the three-tab it usually replaces, and the framing on these houses handles that without trouble. What matters more is the condition of the sheathing and whether the eave, valley and chimney details get rebuilt instead of reused.
