A West Deptford Township section near the Delaware, home to Ladd’s Castle. Mid-century houses with more flat roof than owners expect.
Colonial Manor is a section of West Deptford Township near the river, and it holds the oldest brick house in Gloucester County in Ladd’s Castle. Most of the housing around it is far newer, from the township’s build-out between 1960 and 1980. Those ranches, split-levels and Cape-style homes came with porch roofs, carport covers, breezeways and rear additions, and almost all of those run too flat for shingles.
So a quote here covers two systems, not one. Architectural asphalt on the main slopes, and EPDM or TPO membrane on the low-slope sections, with the transition between them flashed properly instead of shingled over. Replacement permits and inspections are handled by the West Deptford Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.
The full Maze Roofing range, residential and commercial, from the local team.
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing for homes and townhomes across the area.
Shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO. Managed from tear-off to cleanup.
Flat, TPO and metal systems, with maintenance programs that protect the asset.
Storm damage, active leaks and fallen trees, with 24/7 phone response.
The steep slopes and the flat additions fail on different schedules, and the joint where they meet is where most of the water actually gets in.
Where a flat addition meets a pitched roof is the first place to check.
Porch and carport roofs need EPDM or TPO, not shingles laid too flat.
Sitting near the river, these roofs and gutters stay wet longer after a storm.
The West Deptford Township construction office issues roof permits and performs inspections.

Because it is a different roof. A porch or carport cover is usually near flat, and shingles on that pitch let water sit and creep back under the courses. A single-ply membrane, carried up the wall and flashed into the pitched section above it, is the fix that lasts.
Yes, and it comes from West Deptford Township. Colonial Manor is a section of the township rather than its own municipality, so the township construction office issues the permit and inspects the finished work under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. We file it as part of the job.
That is the normal answer here, not a compromise. Asphalt goes on anything with real pitch, membrane goes on the low-slope sections, and the two are tied together with metal flashing sized for the transition. Doing it as one job means one crew owns that seam.
Usually the roof is delivering more water to one spot than the gutter can take, often from a valley or a flat section draining into a single corner. We look at the whole drainage path, not just the gutter. Sometimes the answer is a larger downspout or a diverter added at replacement time.
