A Gloucester Township community near Blackwood with low-eaved capes and small colonials. Roof replacement that starts at the dormers.
Little Gloucester is an unincorporated community in Gloucester Township, off Little Gloucester Road near Blackwood and Big Timber Creek. The name confuses almost everyone, because Gloucester City is a separate municipality, Gloucester County is a separate county, and neither has anything to do with a permit here. The housing is modest and close to the ground: capes with dormers, small colonials, postwar ranches, later rear additions.
On a cape the roof is half the exterior wall, so we rebuild the dormer cheek flashing rather than reusing it, carry membrane well up from the low eave, and detail the point where a flatter addition ties into the original slope. Little Gloucester roofing permits and inspections come from the Gloucester Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Low eaves put the gutter line within reach of everything below it, and dormer cheeks on a cape give water more wall to find than roof.
Shed and gable dormers leak at the side walls long before the field does.
Short walls and low gutters mean splash, debris and ice all collect together.
Kitchen and family room add-ons tie in at a flatter pitch than the original.
Not the county and not Gloucester City: Gloucester Township issues the permit here.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
No. Little Gloucester is a community inside Gloucester Township, while Gloucester City is a separate municipality several miles away on the river. Gloucester County is a different county entirely, and for a roof that means your permit and inspection come from the Gloucester Township construction office and nowhere else.
That is the usual place. The dormer cheek is a vertical wall sitting in the middle of a roof plane, and it needs step flashing woven into each shingle course with the siding lapped over it. Caulk on the outside hides it for a season, so we rebuild that detail as part of the replacement rather than reusing old metal.
Yes, for a tear-off and replacement, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Gloucester Township issues it and a township inspector closes it out. We file the application, schedule the inspection, and give you the closed permit for your records, which matters at resale.
Common, but not harmless. With a low eave the cold edge is short, so meltwater from the warmer roof above refreezes there and backs up. Ice-and-water membrane carried well past the wall line stops it getting in, and improving soffit and ridge ventilation reduces how much forms in the first place.
Send the form and the correct local office follows up, or call your market directly.
Fill out the form and we’ll route it to the right person and location.
