A borough where most houses predate 1940 and the historic district reviews roofing. Slate, cedar and asphalt work in Haddonfield, done to survive review.
Haddonfield’s historic district covers about 200 acres around Kings Highway and has been on the National Register since 1982. Much of the borough predates 1940. Federal and Victorian houses along Kings Highway East, twins near the town center, and the larger colonials west of the highway carry steep pitches, dormers, slate, cedar and copper-lined valleys. Outside the district, the streets toward Crows Woods run to more conventional asphalt.
If your house is in the district, roofing is a change to the exterior and needs a certificate of appropriateness from the borough’s historic preservation commission before work starts. We build the submission around what is on the roof now, whether that is slate, cedar or a synthetic that reads right from the street. The construction permit goes through the borough’s construction office.

The borough publishes the district map and a list by street address, and the zoning office will confirm. If you are in it, roofing counts as a change to the exterior appearance and needs a certificate of appropriateness from the historic preservation commission. The commission reviews material and detail. Color it does not regulate.
Usually not. Sound slate outlasts the nails and the flashing holding it, so the real question is what the fasteners, the valley metal and the chimney flashing look like. Individual slates can be replaced. We will tell you honestly when a slate roof is past repair, and what the alternatives look like under review.
Sometimes, and it depends on the house and on the commission. A house that never had slate is a different conversation from one that still does. Synthetic slate and cedar products have made this easier than it used to be. Bring us in before the application and we will put together a submission with a real chance.
We prepare the roofing part: existing material, proposed material, product documentation and photographs of the elevations. You sign as the owner, because the application is yours. Submissions go in ahead of the commission’s regular meeting, so plan on that timeline rather than expecting to start the week you call.
