Sewell, Barnsboro and Richwood, on the creek side of the county. We file your roof permit with the township you actually live in.
A Sewell address does not tell you which municipality you live in. The Sewell postal area covers parts of both Mantua Township and Washington Township, and Mantua also takes in Barnsboro, Richwood and Carpenter’s Landing. Housing more than doubled here in the 1950s and kept going, so you get postwar ranchers near Mantua Creek alongside older village homes on Route 45 and around the Barnsboro crossroads.
That distinction matters the moment paperwork starts. Maze Roofing pulls roofing permits from the Mantua Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, and files with Washington Township instead for the Sewell addresses that fall on the other side of the line. Getting it right the first time keeps the job moving.

Whichever one your parcel actually sits in, which is either Mantua Township or Washington Township. Sewell is a postal name shared between them, and the construction offices are separate. Maze Roofing checks the parcel first and files with the correct township under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, so nothing gets bounced.
A low-pitch ranch with a long overhang is the classic setup for it. Warm air in the attic melts snow above, the meltwater runs down to the cold overhang and refreezes there. Ventilation and insulation address the cause, and ice-and-water underlayment at the eaves protects the deck while you do.
A small repair is usually a different matter from a full replacement, and the township construction office is the one to confirm it for your address. A complete tear-off and reroof does get permitted with Mantua Township. When we scope the work we tell you plainly which category it falls into.
It is a symptom worth acting on. Moss holds water against the shingle and lifts the edges as it thickens, which lets wind and rain underneath. On shaded creekside lots it comes back, so the real answer is clearing it, opening up the canopy where you can, and specifying algae-resistant shingle next time.
