Postwar ranchers and split levels from Oak Valley to Almonesson, most of them already re-roofed once. We quote what is actually under there.
Deptford filled in fast after 1950, then again through the 1960s, when the population more than doubled in a single decade. Oak Valley, Good Intent, Westville Grove and Almonesson are mostly ranchers, split levels and modest two-story homes from that stretch. Sixty years on, almost none of them are wearing an original roof. Many are on a second covering and a fair number are on a third.
That history matters on the estimate. Maze Roofing looks for layered shingle, reused flashing and decking that has been nailed through more than once, then prices the tear-off honestly instead of after the fact. Roof permits in Deptford are filed with the township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

You can often tell from the edge at the rake or the eave, where the stacked layers show as extra thickness. Otherwise a quick look in the attic and a lifted shingle at an inconspicuous spot settles it. It matters because layers change the tear-off, the disposal and the fastening.
Sometimes it is allowed, but it is rarely the right call on this housing stock. A layover hides rotted decking, keeps whatever is wrong with the old flashing, and adds weight to framing that was sized for one roof. Maze Roofing recommends a full tear-off to the deck in almost every case here.
Yes. The permit comes from the Deptford Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, not from Gloucester County. We pull it before the tear-off and set up the inspection with the township once the new system is on, so it stays off your plate.
That junction is the hardest detail on a split level. The roof plane dies into a vertical wall, and the step flashing behind the siding has to lap correctly at every course. When an earlier reroof skipped or reused that flashing, water gets behind it and shows up inside well away from the actual leak.
