Local Roofing In Magnolia

Small houses carry proportionally large roofs

Magnolia is a borough of about four thousand on less than a square mile, laid out along Evesham Avenue and the streets running off it. Most of it is 1920s through 1950s: bungalows, Capes, twins and small colonials on narrow lots. On houses this size the roof is a large share of the building envelope, and the eaves are close to the ground.
That proportion is why we spend time on the edges. Drip edge, ice-and-water membrane, gutter apron and the first three courses do most of the work protecting a small house. Ventilation gets calculated rather than guessed. Magnolia Borough’s construction office issues the roof permit and carries out the inspection under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Roofing In Magnolia

On a small house, the roof edge does the work.

With short walls and low eaves, water that gets past the drip edge on a Magnolia bungalow reaches the framing and the sill faster than on a taller house.

Drip edge detail

Metal at the eave and rake, lapped correctly over the gutter apron, prevents most edge rot.

Bungalow dormers

Front dormers on these houses need step flashing where the cheek meets the roof.

Shared twin planes

Attached houses are flashed at the party wall rather than shingled straight across it.

Magnolia FAQ

Common questions

What is drip edge and do I need it?

What is drip edge and do I need it?

It is the metal strip that runs along the eaves and rakes under the shingles and over the gutter apron. It keeps water from curling back onto the fascia and rotting it. On the small older houses in Magnolia it is one of the details that decides how long the roof edge lasts.

Magnolia Borough. The borough’s construction office issues the permit and performs the inspection under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, and Camden County is not involved. We handle the application and the inspection appointment as part of the job.

Usually yes, indirectly. Soft fascia almost always means water has been running behind the gutter or over a missing drip edge for years. We replace the rotten wood while the roof is open and detail the edge so it does not happen again. Painting over it solves nothing.

More than people expect. A small attic heats up and holds moisture quickly, which cooks shingles from below in summer and feeds ice dams in winter. We balance soffit intake against ridge exhaust when we re-roof, because a ridge vent with no intake barely works.
