Wooded lots around Almonesson Lake in Deptford Township. Shade keeps roofs damp and keeps valleys full of whatever falls out of the canopy.
Almonesson sits in the northeast of Deptford Township around Almonesson Lake, where Almonesson Creek is dammed. It is one of the older, greener parts of a township that otherwise grew in the postwar decades, and the tree cover is the thing you notice from a ladder. Mature oaks and maples hang over rooflines, drop steadily into valleys and gutters, and keep north slopes from drying out between rains.
That changes what we specify. Open metal valleys instead of closed-cut where debris collects, algae-resistant shingles on the shaded slopes, gutter and drip-edge details that can handle leaf load, and a real look at any limb sitting over the ridge. Permits come from the Deptford Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Wet leaves in a valley hold moisture against the shingle for weeks and moss follows, which is why shaded roofs here rarely reach their rated life.
Leaf packs in a closed-cut valley dam water and push it sideways under shingles.
North slopes that stay damp grow moss, which lifts courses and holds water.
A branch resting on the ridge sands off granules every time the wind moves.
Deptford Township’s construction office handles the roof permit and the final inspection.

You manage it rather than stop it. On a wooded lot we prefer open metal valleys, which let debris wash through instead of packing into a cut line, and we set gutters and drip edge so water still has somewhere to go when a leaf pack forms. Annual clearing does the rest.
Moss is more than cosmetic. It holds water against the shingle, lifts the bottom edge of the courses and lets wind get underneath. Cutting back the overhang that keeps the slope shaded, then replacing with algae-resistant shingles when the time comes, is the real fix rather than repeated scrubbing.
Deptford Township does. Almonesson is a section of the township rather than a separate borough, so the Deptford Township construction office issues the permit and inspects the work under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. We file it and meet the inspector so you do not have to.
Yes, and it is common here. A limb resting on shingles scuffs granules off with every gust, and once the mat is exposed that spot weathers years faster than the rest of the slope. Trimming back to daylight around the roof is cheap insurance.
