Measured from the roof
Squares, pitch and layer count come off the house itself. An aerial estimate on a cape with dormers is a guess with a decimal point on it.
Roofing Service Areas Around Gibbsboro
Eight Camden County towns, most of them the same age and the same lot width, which is why the same handful of roofs keep turning up.
The patch
Chosen for how the houses sit
These towns share a housing age and, more usefully, a lot width. A crew that works the same constrained frontage every week gets faster at the part of the job that actually costs time: getting material in and rubbish out without blocking a street.
Whichever town you are in
What does not change across the patch
Access priced openly
A kerbside skip permit or a trailer-load day appears as its own line rather than being folded quietly into the labour figure.
The same crew on every street
The outfit is small enough that a longer drive does not mean a different set of people on your roof.
Where the ladders go
The eight towns
Gibbsboro
Barely two square miles of mostly post-war capes and ranches on narrow frontages, with a stretch of larger lots up by the lake.
Voorhees Township
Much newer and much wider, with complex roofs carrying a lot of planes and valleys per square.
Lindenwold
Dense older housing where whole streets reach the end of a covering within a year or two of each other.
Clementon
A mix of lake-side cottages and small post-war housing, with some roofs that have been layered more than once.
Stratford
Tight borough blocks and a good deal of original low-slope porch roofing attached to steeper main slopes.
Somerdale
Small lots, short drives and a high proportion of houses where the gutter run outlived its first roof.
Berlin
Larger properties and longer drives, with roofs big enough that the square count is what drives the price.
Pine Hill
Hilly streets and a lot of houses at the age where the second layer decision is being taken right now.
No charge
Have the roof measured
An hour on it and under it, then an itemised sheet you keep either way.
