Gibbstown and the river frontage around it, one of the oldest settled spots in the state. Housing that has been aging in place since 1970.
Greenwich Township is Gibbstown plus the river frontage around it. It is one of the oldest settled spots in the state; the Nothnagle Log House here dates to the seventeenth century. The population peaked around 1970 at under six thousand and has barely moved since, which means the housing stock is aging in place rather than turning over. Most of it is pre-war and postwar frame on flat ground near the Delaware.
A stable stock is a predictable one. Maze Roofing knows what to expect on these houses: tired decking, more than one prior covering, and eave and rake edges that have taken fifty years of river wind. We tear off to the deck and detail the perimeter properly. Permits come from the Greenwich Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

When a township stops growing, every roof in it gets old at the same time, and so does the decking and flashing underneath.
Plank and early sheathing decks show their age once the old shingle comes off.
Fifty years of river wind works the rake and eave loose before the field goes.
Most of these roofs are a second or third covering over reused flashing.
The Greenwich Township construction office issues roof permits under the state uniform code.

We show you, and we price it before we replace it. On houses of this age some deck replacement is common enough that an honest estimate should mention the possibility up front rather than treat it as a surprise. Shingles fastened into soft decking will not hold, so it is not optional work.
Yes, and it is issued by the Greenwich Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Gibbstown is part of Greenwich Township rather than a borough of its own, so that is the authority for the whole township. Maze Roofing files it and arranges the inspection afterward.
Because that is where the wind gets purchase. Out on this flat ground near the river the rake and the eave take the uplift, and once the first course loses its bond the damage works inward. A good replacement spends its attention there: adhered starter, tight drip edge, well-fastened caps.
Probably worth a look. At that age on this housing stock we usually find brittle shingle, flashing that was reused from the job before, and decking that has been nailed through more than once. None of that is an emergency, but it is the point where planning beats reacting.
