An eighteenth-century landing on Big Timber Creek, now part of Gloucester Township. Steep older rooflines that need real detailing.
Chews Landing takes its name from Jeremiah Chew, a Revolutionary War officer, and grew as a landing on Big Timber Creek long before Gloucester Township looked the way it does now. St. John’s Episcopal Church and Burying Ground, built in 1880, still anchors the old village. The housing around it runs from nineteenth-century frame stock with steep planes and plank sheathing to postwar and later infill along Chews Landing Road.
On the older houses we work with what the frame was built for. Plank decking gets assessed before anything is fastened to it, narrow eaves get membrane carried well up the slope, and steep pitches are staged properly rather than rushed. Roofing permits and inspections for Chews Landing come from the Gloucester Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Steep planes, board sheathing and narrow eaves were all built around a heavier material, so a modern shingle system has to be detailed to suit them.
Plank decking with gaps needs assessing before any shingle is fastened to it.
Pitches above eight in twelve change staging, safety and how long the job takes.
Short overhangs give meltwater nowhere to go without membrane well up the slope.
Chews Landing roofing permits are issued and inspected by Gloucester Township.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Sometimes, and sometimes the gaps between boards are too wide to hold a fastener properly. We look at the deck once the old roof is off and tell you then. Where the planks are sound we work directly over them, and where they are not, an overlay of new sheathing gives the shingle something to grip.
Gloucester Township does, through its construction office, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Chews Landing is an unincorporated village inside the township rather than a borough, so there is no separate local authority and the county is not involved. We file it and see the inspection through.
Both work on these frames. Slate lasts generations and costs accordingly, and it needs the structure checked first. Architectural asphalt is what most people here choose, and on a steep pitch it performs well once the underlayment, valley metal and eave detail are done for the slope rather than for an average roof.
On a house with narrow overhangs that is often ice, not a leak in the field. Meltwater refreezes at the cold edge and backs up over the shingle line. Ice-and-water membrane run well past the wall, plus better attic airflow, fixes the cause, and patching the ceiling without that just delays it.
