Open Pinelands ground in Winslow Township with no neighboring rooflines to break the weather. Roof replacement built for exposure.
Ancora is a small unincorporated place in Winslow Township, best known for the state hospital that carries the name, set in a stretch of the Pinelands where parcels are large and houses are spread thin. There is no street grid to speak of and no neighboring rooflines shielding anything. A nor’easter arrives here with the whole field behind it, and a summer squall does the same.
So we build for the load. Fastener count and nailing pattern get set for exposure rather than for speed, ridge and rake metal is fastened properly, and the underlayment runs continuous under the long simple planes these houses have. Ancora addresses are permitted and inspected by the Winslow Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Houses on open Pinelands parcels take the full load of a nor’easter or a summer squall, with no neighboring rooflines to break it up first.
Fastener count and nailing pattern matter more on an exposed roof than anywhere.
Summer hail knocks granules loose, and the damage often shows up years later.
Simple large roof planes want continuous underlayment and clean, unbroken courses.
Ancora addresses are permitted and inspected by Winslow Township under the state code.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Usually the same shingle, installed to the higher wind specification. Most architectural products have an enhanced nailing pattern in their instructions, six fasteners instead of four, along with sealed starter courses and proper edge metal. On an open site we install to that pattern as standard, because the cost difference is small and the difference in performance is not.
Yes. Hail bruises the mat under the granules without breaking through, so the roof keeps working while it ages much faster. Finding it early keeps an insurance option open and tells you where the roof really stands, and from the ground it is essentially invisible, which is why the damage usually surfaces years after the storm.
Winslow Township does, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Ancora is an unincorporated locality within the township rather than a municipality of its own, and Camden County is not involved in roofing permits. We file with the township and see the final inspection through to a closed permit.
Our Cherry Hill office covers Camden, Burlington and Gloucester counties, and that includes the far side of Winslow Township. The practical difference on a remote site is logistics: one material delivery instead of several, and a dumpster staged where it can be reached. We plan that before the crew arrives.
