Older lakeside stock inside a township mostly built later. Roof replacement for shaded slopes and long-standing debris loads.
Kirkwood is a name attached to the northwestern edge of Voorhees Township, near Kirkwood Lake and the road that still carries the name toward Gibbsboro. Most of Voorhees was built out well after the war, but the housing around the lake is older than that, and it sits under mature trees on ground that holds water. Cottages that grew into year-round houses, with porches and rooms added as they did.
Shade and damp set the scope. We watch the lower courses and the north slopes for moss, treat added porch roofs as the flatter systems they are, and size gutters for two heavy leaf drops a year rather than one. Kirkwood roofing permits are issued and inspected by the Voorhees Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Houses near Kirkwood Lake sit under mature trees on damp ground, and the combination keeps the lower courses and the north slopes wet.
The bottom few feet of a shaded slope stays damp longest after any rain.
Mature trees fill these valleys and gutters twice a year at minimum.
Lakeside cottages and their added porches run flatter than the main roof.
Kirkwood roofing permits are issued and inspected by Voorhees Township.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Yes. Kirkwood is a locality within Voorhees Township rather than a municipality of its own, so the construction permit for your roof comes from the Voorhees Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, not from Camden County. We file it and handle the final inspection.
That lower band stays wet longest, because it sits in shade and holds the debris washing down from above. Algae and moss start there. Clearing what is holding the moisture helps, and on a replacement we specify algae-resistant shingle and make sure the gutter is not damming water back onto the first course.
Not necessarily. Porch roofs on these houses are usually much flatter than the main slope, which means shingle there was marginal from the start. We often replace the porch in EPDM or TPO membrane, flash it into the wall and the main roof properly, and leave the main roof until it is actually due.
With this much tree cover it is usually worth it. The fascia is exposed during the tear-off, so larger gutter and extra downspouts cost far less then than as a separate job. If the existing gutter is sound and correctly sized, we say so and leave it, and we reset the pitch where it has sagged.
