An old crossroads village wrapped in Washington Township’s subdivision boom. Two housing eras, two very different roof problems.
Hurffville is a Washington Township place name rather than a municipality of its own, and it reads that way on the ground. The old crossroads has frame houses and deep porches along Hurffville Road. Around it, the township added tens of thousands of residents from the 1960s through the 1980s, so the ranches, splits and colonials of that boom now sit a few hundred feet from stock that predates all of it.
We quote both kinds of house honestly. Older roofs get a look at deck condition, pitch and existing layers before anyone talks shingles; boom-era roofs usually need the flashing, valley and ventilation details brought up to current practice. Permits for either come from the Washington Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

A 1920s frame house and a 1972 split-level fail in different places, which is why one inspection checklist does not cover both roofs here.
Pre-war roofs here run steep, with narrow valleys that hold debris and ice.
Many boom-era homes carry a layer already, and a tear-off is usually the right call.
Intake and exhaust are often undersized on the 1960s and 70s builds.
Replacement permits and inspections go through the Washington Township construction office, not the county.

Yes. Hurffville is part of Washington Township, so the permit and inspections are handled by the township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, not the county. We file it, schedule the inspection and keep the paperwork with your job file.
Age alone is not the answer. On the township’s 1960s and 70s houses we look for granule loss in the field, curling at the rakes, soft spots underfoot and staining around the valleys and chimney. If two or three of those show up together, replacement is usually cheaper than another round of repairs.
Freeze-thaw cycling plus a warm attic: meltwater runs down, refreezes at the cold eave and backs up under the shingles. The fix is ice-and-water underlayment along the eaves and in the valleys. Ventilation that keeps the deck cold enough not to melt snow from below matters just as much.
Usually, yes. Architectural asphalt comes in profiles and colors that sit well on older frame houses, and where slate or cedar is original we will tell you honestly what it costs to stay in kind versus move to asphalt. Either way you get the flashing and valley work the older detailing needs.
