A scattered locality in Southampton Township where almost no house is the shape it started as. Valleys decide the work here.
Retreat is a small locality in Southampton Township, off the roads between Vincentown and the pine country, with farm fields and scattered woods around it. The houses are old frame stock for the most part, and almost none of them are the shape they started as. A kitchen went on, then a back bedroom, then an enclosed porch, each framed into the original gable at whatever pitch suited the builder that particular year.
Every one of those joins is a valley, and a valley is where water concentrates. We strip them to the deck, check the sheathing underneath, and reline in metal or membrane rather than closing them up with shingle laid over old material. Permits are filed with the Southampton Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Water from two slopes meets in a valley and moves fast, so a valley that was patched rather than rebuilt tends to leak before anything else on the roof does.
Valleys stripped to deck and relined instead of shingled over old metal.
Where an addition meets the main roof at a different slope, detailed properly.
Sheathing beneath a valley checked for the rot that hides there.
The Southampton Township construction office issues roof permits for Retreat addresses.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Often yes. If the shingle field has life left, rebuilding that valley properly is a repair rather than a replacement, and it is the right call. We open it up, look at the decking underneath, and tell you what we find before committing you to anything larger.
A closed valley works on a simple roof with matching pitches. Where an addition meets the main roof at a different slope, water crosses from a fast plane onto a slow one, and a metal lining handles that far better. It also lets debris wash through instead of packing in.
Southampton Township. Retreat is a locality inside the township rather than a municipality, so the Southampton Township construction office reviews the application and inspects the finished work under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Burlington County has no role in a residential re-roof.
They are the worst spot for it. Snow slides into a valley from both slopes and sits there, and meltwater refreezing in that channel backs up under the shingle. Ice-and-water membrane carried up the full length of every valley is standard on the roofs we replace here.
