Worker housing on the river

Paulsboro is a small borough on the Delaware, separated from Greenwich Township in 1904 and built up around the port and the refinery. Its housing is mostly early twentieth century: twins, row-style frames and modest singles on tight lots, with Billingsport out at the river end. The population peaked in 1960, so nearly all of these roofs have been replaced at least once and many more than that.
Maze Roofing looks first at what the previous work left behind, which on this stock usually means layered shingle and reused flashing at the party wall and the chimney. Edges get fastened for the wind that comes off open water. The Borough of Paulsboro construction office issues the permit under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Old twins leak at the wall before the field.

Paulsboro FAQ

Common questions

I share a wall with my neighbor. How does that change a roof replacement?

I share a wall with my neighbor. How does that change a roof replacement?

It makes the wall detail the most important part of the job. The flashing where your roof meets the shared wall has to be installed properly and tied in, and if your neighbor reroofs later that detail gets disturbed again. We document what we did so the next contractor has something to work with.

From the Borough of Paulsboro construction office, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Paulsboro is its own municipality, so nothing goes through Gloucester County. Maze Roofing files the permit before the tear-off and coordinates the inspection with the borough once the work is done.

Quite a lot, because the borough sits low and open to the channel. The exposed parts are the rake edge, the eave and the ridge, and those are the details worth spending on. Bonded starter course, tight drip edge and properly fastened caps are what keep an ordinary storm ordinary.

Yes, and it is better that it does. Three layers hide whatever the decking is doing, put weight on framing that was never sized for it, and leave every old flashing problem in place. Tearing off to the deck costs more in disposal and is the only way to know what you have.
