Barely half a square mile of Victorians, with a borough historic preservation commission. Roof work planned around the roofline and the review.
Merchantville is a small, dense borough of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century houses: Queen Anne, Second Empire, shingle style and foursquare, with towers, cross gables, slate and decorative metal. The borough maintains a historic preservation commission, and its code includes designated historic districts. That combination means a roof here is both a construction question and an approvals question.
We start by confirming what applies to your specific address, then design a roof that will pass both tests: correct system, correct detailing, and a material choice you can defend. Slate repair, slate replacement and architectural asphalt are all on the table depending on the house. The construction permit itself is issued and inspected by Merchantville Borough’s construction office.

Original slate and decorative metal are assessed for repair before replacement is proposed.
Complex Victorian rooflines mean many valleys and transitions, and each one is flashed new.

Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
It depends on your address. Merchantville has a historic preservation commission and designated districts in its code, so the first step is confirming whether your property falls under that review. The construction permit comes from the borough construction office either way, and we check both before ordering material.
If the slate is sound and the problems are broken pieces and failed flashing, keeping it is usually cheaper and always more appropriate on these houses. If the nails have rusted through across the roof, repair stops working. On a house that may be under review, settle the material question before ordering.
Because it has so many joints. Towers, dormers, cross gables, bay roofs and porch tie-ins each create a transition, and transitions leak long before the field of the roof does. A good replacement here is mostly a flashing job with shingle or slate laid over it.
