A farm hamlet among preserved fields in Springfield Township. The oldest roofs here were built for slate or cedar, not asphalt.
Jacksonville is a farm hamlet in Springfield Township, at the crossing of the Jacksonville-Jobstown and Jacksonville-Hedding roads, with preserved fields on every side. The oldest houses here were framed for slate or for cedar shake. Those roofs came off decades ago and asphalt went on in their place, usually without anyone adjusting the details that the heavier, thicker original material had made unnecessary in the first place.
That leaves specific things worth checking. Steep pitch that needs proper staging, open valleys sized for slate, and decking that was skip-sheathed for cedar and never fully boarded over. We deal with each of them at replacement instead of laying over the problem. Permits are issued by the Springfield Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

A roof framed and sheathed for slate or cedar behaves differently under asphalt, and the valleys and the decking are where you first notice the difference.
Spaced cedar sheathing boarded over before asphalt can be laid properly.
Wide slate-era valleys relined in metal rather than closed with shingle.
Roof jacks and anchors set for pitches that need real footing.

It is decking laid as spaced boards with gaps between them, used under cedar shake so air could reach the underside. Asphalt shingle needs continuous support, so if someone shingled straight over skip sheathing the result sags and the nails miss wood. We sheet over it before the new roof goes on.
On some of these houses, yes, because the framing was designed for the weight. It is a much larger investment and a different trade, so we will tell you honestly whether your roof structure suits it. Where it does not, architectural asphalt with proper metal valleys is the sensible answer.
The Springfield Township construction office, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Jacksonville is one of several hamlets inside Springfield Township rather than a municipality. Note that Jacksonville Road runs across several townships in this county, so confirming the address against the municipal line matters.
Because a valley is where two slopes concentrate their water, and the metal in an old one is often thinner and shorter than it should be. It is also the one detail you cannot change later without opening the new roof. Doing it during tear-off costs very little extra.
