Forty square miles of Pinelands township. Tree cover is the local roof problem here: debris in the valleys, moss on the shade side, and limbs overhead.
Medford is a large township inside the Pinelands National Reserve, and most of it is wooded. Medford Village keeps the old Main Street houses. Taunton Lake, Lake Pine, Birchwood Lakes and Centennial Lake are lake neighborhoods of postwar cottages, contemporaries and colonials, many on an acre or more under mature oak and pine. Cedar shake and shake-look shingle show up here far more than in the inner suburbs.
Shaded roofs do not dry, so we clear and check valleys, look hard at the north slopes for moss and rot, and check ventilation before recommending a system. Architectural shingle, synthetic shake and standing-seam metal on porches and additions all have a place. Permits go through Medford Township’s construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing for homes and townhomes across the area.
Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
Needles and leaves pack the valleys, moss holds moisture against the shingle on north slopes, and a roof that never dries gives up years before its rating.
Pine needles dam the valleys, hold water, and push it sideways under the shingle course.
North slopes under heavy tree cover stay wet, and moss lifts shingle edges over time.
Real cedar needs different detailing than asphalt, and synthetic shake is often the better trade.
Medford Township’s construction office issues the permit; Medford Lakes borough is separate.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.

Medford Township, through its own construction office, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. The county is not involved. One thing to watch: Medford Lakes is a separate borough with its own construction official, and it has a Historic Preservation Commission that reviews exterior work in the Lakes historic district, including roof color. Check which municipality your address is actually in.
Not necessarily, but it is on a clock. Moss holds water against the shingle and works its way under the edges, and under Medford’s tree cover the north slope never really dries out. If the mat underneath is still sound, cleaning and trimming back the overhanging limbs buys real time. If the shingle edges are already curling and soft, that slope is done.
No. Cedar is still available and still looks right on a wooded Medford lot, but it needs ventilation and spacing done properly and it does not love constant shade. Synthetic shake gives you the same profile with far less maintenance. We will price both honestly and tell you what your particular roof deck and exposure can support.
We get it dried in first, then figure out the real extent. Tree impact often bruises sheathing and breaks fasteners well outside the obvious hole, which is exactly what an adjuster needs documented. We photograph and measure the whole affected slope, tarp what needs tarping, and give you a scope that covers the damage without inflating it.
