A Merchantville name under a Pennsauken Township permit. Nineteen-twenties houses whose roofs are on their second or third covering.
Merchantville Park sits in Pennsauken Township, next to Merchantville Borough and named for it, which catches people out when they go to pull a permit. The houses date largely from the 1920s and 1930s: steep pitches, deep trim, plank sheathing, detached garages behind. Nearly all of them started under slate or cedar, and what replaced it was fitted to a roof designed for something else.
So we work from the deck up rather than from the shingle down. Plank sheathing gets assessed once the old material is off, the underlayment and fastening are chosen for the steep slope, and any original metal valley is evaluated on its own merits. A Merchantville Park permit comes from Pennsauken Township, not Merchantville Borough, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Most of these roofs were slate or cedar once, and the shingle that took over was fitted to a roof designed for something else entirely.
Plank sheathing under two later roofs needs checking before anything new goes down.
Pitches built for slate need underlayment and fastening chosen for the slope.
Where original metal valleys survive, they often outlast whatever sits beside them.

Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Pennsauken Township. Merchantville Park is inside the township, next to Merchantville Borough and named after it, so the mailing address points one way and the government another. The permit and the final inspection come from the Pennsauken Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, and we file it there.
It is an option if the framing supports it and the budget does, and it lasts generations. Most owners here choose architectural asphalt instead, which performs well on these steep pitches provided the underlayment, valley metal and eave detail suit the slope rather than an average roof. We price both honestly so you can compare.
Usually wide plank sheathing, sometimes with the original slate nails still in it, and occasionally an old layer left in place beneath the current one. We find out during the tear-off and show you. Where planks are sound we roof over them directly, and where the gaps are too wide we overlay new sheathing first.
Often yes, since original copper frequently has decades of service left and outlives the shingle laid against it. We evaluate the metal rather than stripping it automatically, and where it is sound we reintegrate it into the new roof. Where it is thinned or patched, replacing it during a tear-off is much cheaper than revisiting it later.
