A compact township of 1920s bungalows and postwar infill along Main Street. Small roofs, shallow porches, neighbors close on both sides.
Maple Shade is small and dense. It was a village inside Chester Township before it took the railroad station’s name in 1945, and its first real housing boom came in the 1920s with modest bungalows built for workers commuting to Camden. Postwar blocks filled in most of the rest. Main Street still follows the old Mount Holly to Philadelphia road straight through the middle of town.
Bungalows bring particular work. Front porch roofs sit at a pitch too shallow for shingle, rear additions carry their own slope, and side yards are narrow enough that staging has to be planned. We use membrane on the low-slope sections and architectural asphalt above them. Permits are filed with the Maple Shade Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Bungalow porches sit at a pitch too shallow for shingle, and a good share of the leaks in this town begin where that porch roof meets the house wall.
Front porch roofs do better under EPDM or TPO than under any asphalt shingle.
The step flashing where a porch meets the house is a common failure point.
Narrow side yards mean planned staging so tear-off debris stays off your neighbor’s property.
Roofing permits are issued by the Maple Shade Township construction office under state code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Often it should not be. Asphalt shingle needs pitch to shed water, and most bungalow porch roofs here are too flat for it. A single-ply membrane such as EPDM or TPO is the right system for that section, tied into the shingle above with proper flashing at the transition.
Yes. Roof replacement requires a permit and an inspection from the Maple Shade Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. We handle the filing and meet the inspector. The county has no role in it, which surprises homeowners who start their calls there.
We plan the staging before the first shingle comes off. That means tarps over the neighbor’s side yard and plantings, a dump trailer positioned where it will not block their driveway, and a magnet sweep of both properties at the end of each day. Tight lots need the plan made in advance.
A small roof is a cheaper roof, which usually argues for doing it right rather than patching again. On a bungalow the cost is concentrated in the details: the porch membrane, the wall flashing and the chimney. Those are the parts that decide whether you are back in five years.
