A Delaware-side neighborhood next to Riverton Borough but inside Cinnaminson Township. Tall Victorian roofs, and paperwork that catches people out.
East Riverton sits in Cinnaminson Township, on the Delaware side, immediately east of Riverton Borough. The name and a shared postal history mean plenty of people here believe they live in Riverton. They do not, and the distinction matters for paperwork. The housing is largely late Victorian and early twentieth century, tall and steep, with dormers, deep porches and at least one masonry chimney on most of the houses.
Those roofs have real detail work in them: sidewall flashing, porch membranes, valleys where the pitch changes. We rebuild the details rather than shingling past them. And we file with the Cinnaminson Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, because Riverton Borough is a separate municipality with its own.

Cinnaminson Township. East Riverton is inside the township, while Riverton Borough next door is a separate municipality with its own construction office, which is why this trips people up, so the Cinnaminson Township construction office issues your roofing permit under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code and we file it.
Because the roof is not one surface. Each dormer brings two valleys and two sidewalls, each porch brings a low-slope deck tying into a wall, and the chimney brings four more flashing faces. The shingle field is rarely the problem, and the intersections almost always are.
Possibly not underneath, but it may have been there once. If the roof was framed for slate the pitch is steep and the decking may be spaced rather than continuous, which changes how asphalt has to be laid. We check in the attic and tell you what the original system was.
Yes, particularly over porches and at the eaves of rear additions where the pitch flattens. Meltwater refreezes at the cold edge and backs up under the shingle. Ice-and-water membrane along the eaves and up the valleys handles it, and we add soffit intake wherever the framing allows.
