A riverfront corner of Greenwich Township. Wind coming off the open Delaware finds the ridge, the rakes and the flashing first.
Billingsport sits on the Delaware at the northwest edge of Greenwich Township, on the point where the river bends past Gibbstown and the Paulsboro waterfront. The housing is modest and mostly older: frame and brick homes on small lots, many with porch roofs, shed additions and detached garages. What matters more than the style is the exposure. There is very little between these roofs and open water.
So we build for wind first. That means starter strip at the eaves and rakes, six-nail fastening, tight ridge and hip detailing, and metal or EPDM where a porch or addition runs too flat for shingles. Permits and inspections are filed with the Greenwich Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Nor’easters push rain sideways along an unprotected rake, and a roof that loses its edge course tends to lose the field not long after.
Rakes and eaves take the brunt when nor’easters come up the river.
Porches, shed roofs and back additions usually want EPDM or TPO instead of shingles.
Damp river air feeds the dark streaking that shows up on north slopes.

Greenwich Township does. Billingsport is a place name inside the township rather than its own municipality, so the construction office there handles the permit and the inspection under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. We pull it before the tear-off and meet the inspector ourselves.
It will if it is fastened for it. We use a full starter course at the eaves and rakes, the higher nailing pattern the manufacturer allows, and sealed ridge and hip details. Most wind failures we see started at an unsealed edge rather than in the middle of the field.
Low-slope sections are the usual suspect. Shingles are not rated for the pitch a porch or shed addition often has, so water sits and works back under the courses. A single-ply membrane such as EPDM or TPO, tied properly into the wall flashing, ends that cycle.
It depends what failed. A lifted edge, a cracked pipe boot or one flashing joint is a repair, and we will say so. Once the field is losing granules and the fasteners are backing out, patching one storm’s damage only buys time until the next one.
