Local Roofing In Eayrestown

The oldest corner of a new township

Eayrestown was the first real settlement in what became Lumberton Township, established in the late 1600s around a sawmill on the Rancocas Creek, and the center of local commerce for a long while afterward. Lumberton itself only filled in recently: roughly twenty-eight hundred residents in 1960, more than ten thousand by 2000. Eayrestown is the part of the township that was already standing when all of that arrived.
That makes it the exception on our schedule here. Most Lumberton calls are 1990s subdivision roofs reaching the end of a first run, while Eayrestown calls are old framing, plank decking and masonry chimneys. We approach them as different jobs. Permits for either go to the Lumberton Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Roofing In Eayrestown

Lumberton grew late, but Eayrestown did not.

Three centuries of framing, alterations and past roof work sit under the shingle here, and none of it matches anything on a subdivision builder’s plan sheet.

Eayrestown FAQ

Common questions

Is roofing an old house different from roofing a newer one?

Is roofing an old house different from roofing a newer one?

The materials are the same; the assessment is not. On a house this age we look at rafter spacing, plank decking, how many previous roofs are on it, and every place an addition was framed in. That work happens before the quote, because it is what determines the real scope.

The Lumberton Township construction office, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Eayrestown is one of the township’s four named communities rather than a municipality of its own, so there is no separate office. We file the application and meet the inspector when the work is finished.

Almost certainly none of the shingle is, but the framing and some of the sheathing often are. Hand-cut rafters, wide irregular boards and cut nails are the signs, and they are visible from inside the attic. We look while we are up there and tell you what you have.

Often yes, because old houses tend to have shallow eaves, little insulation and no soffit intake, which is the combination ice damming needs. Ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and up the valleys plus improved attic airflow is what we put in, and it makes a clear difference.
