Fast, Reliable Specialty Roofing Across Cherry Hill
Specialty roofing in Cherry Hill runs $8,500-$22,000 depending on material and scope, with most low-slope garage or family-room sections finished in one to two days. We’re Ridgeline Roofing Co., and we’ve been working on Cherry Hill roofs since 1984.

When you call (844) 563-1816, a live person answers - day, night, or the middle of a nor’easter.

Our Specialty Roofing Services in Cherry Hill
TPO Roofing
TPO - thermoplastic polyolefin - is our go-to for the low-slope sections that plague Cherry Hill split-levels. That 2:12 or 3:12 pitch over your garage or family room addition? It was probably shingled to code minimum in 1968. TPO gives you a single-ply membrane with welded seams that won’t let ponding water find its way to your original plank sheathing. A typical TPO installation on a Cherry Hill low-slope section runs $8,500-$14,000 for 1,000-1,500 square feet. We install TPO from GAF and CertainTeed, authorized lines with no substitutions.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen handles the freeze-thaw punishment that Cherry Hill’s nor’easter track delivers. The heavy wet snow and repeated thaw cycles in the Delaware Valley chew through standard materials. We torch-apply or cold-adhere modified bitumen with granulated caps that flex instead of cracking. On a recent job near Brace Road, we stripped three layers of failed shingles from a low-slope garage roof and laid modified bitumen with full ice-and-water shield underneath. The homeowner had dealt with interior stains every spring for six years. Modified bitumen runs $10,000-$17,000 for comparable Cherry Hill low-slope sections.
Built-Up Roofing
Built-up roofing - BUR - is the old-school answer for flat or nearly-flat sections that need decades of protection. Multiple plies of roofing felt laminated with hot asphalt, finished with gravel or a reflective cap sheet. It’s heavy, it’s proven, and it doesn’t blink at the ponding water that collects on Cherry Hill’s poorly drained split-level additions. BUR runs $12,000-$22,000 in Cherry Hill, depending on access and whether we need to replace rotted decking underneath. We source BUR materials from authorized GAF and Owens Corning lines.
Solar Ready Roofing
Cherry Hill’s south-facing split-level roofs are prime real estate for solar, but most can’t carry the load without structural assessment. We install solar-ready membranes and attachment points that let your solar contractor bolt directly to the deck without piercing your waterproofing layer. Solar ready prep on a typical Cherry Hill split-level runs $3,500-$7,500 added to your base roofing scope. We coordinate with your solar installer so the roof warranty stays intact.

Common Specialty Roofing Problems We See in Cherry Hill Homes
- Ice dams on low-slope garage and family-room sections. Cherry Hill’s 2:12 and 3:12 pitches were shingled to the bare minimum in the 1960s. Snow melts, refreezes at the eave, and water backs up under shingles. We see this every February in neighborhoods like Erlton and Woodcrest. The fix is never more shingles - it’s a proper low-slope membrane with ice-and-water shield run well past the 24-inch minimum, sometimes covering the entire plane.
- Rotted plank sheathing under multiple shingle layers. Cherry Hill’s housing stock was built out almost entirely between 1958 and 1978. Most split-levels already carry two full shingle layers. When we tear off, we routinely find original plank decking that’s delaminated or rotted. Neighboring towns with newer or more staggered housing don’t see this at the same rate. Full tear-off to the deck is standard here, not optional.
- Failed step-valley flashing from freeze-thaw cycles. Those complex multi-pitch rooflines on Cherry Hill split-levels concentrate runoff into valleys. Nor’easters deliver heavy wet snow, not coastal glancing blows. Repeated freeze-thaw opens seams in step flashing that standard caulk can’t close. We replace with custom-formed metal and membrane-backed valleys.
- Salt-air corrosion on exposed hardware and fasteners. Cherry Hill sits close enough to the Delaware estuary that salt air accelerates rust on roof vents, flashings, and any exposed metal. We see corroded fasteners and deteriorated vent collars on homes near the 08034 ZIP code boundary. Stainless steel and coated hardware is standard on our jobs.

FAQs - Specialty Roofing in Cherry Hill
Salt air from the Delaware estuary accelerates corrosion on springs, hinges, rollers, and opener chains by several years compared to inland towns like Medford or Voorhees. We install stainless hardware, nylon rollers, and galvanized springs on every Cherry Hill job. Call (844) 563-1816 if your garage door is sticking or noisy - we’ll inspect the hardware and give you a straight answer on what needs replacing.
Most have original plank sheathing that’s now sixty years old, often delaminated or rotted under two layers of shingles. Full tear-off to the deck is standard in Cherry Hill, not optional, and we find compromised decking on roughly two-thirds of the split-levels we open. We photograph everything and show you before we quote replacement.
We strip the failed shingles, inspect and replace rotted decking, then install either TPO, modified bitumen, or built-up roofing with ice-and-water shield extended well past code minimum - sometimes covering the entire low-slope plane. On a Woodcrest split-level, we found corroded garage-door hardware and rotting original plank sheathing under three shingle layers. We installed stainless hardware, nylon rollers, and a full ice-and-water shield over the entire low-slope garage roof. That homeowner hasn’t called back with a leak in four winters.
Steep pitches get architectural shingles from GAF or CertainTeed. Low-slope sections get TPO, modified bitumen, or BUR - never shingles below 4:12 pitch. The valley intersections that concentrate runoff need membrane-backed metal flashing. We match the material to the pitch and the exposure, not force one product across your whole roof.
The township’s residential neighborhoods were built out almost entirely in one generation, roughly 1958 to 1978. Most original roofs were replaced once in the 1990s or 2000s with overlays, and now that second layer is failing too. Cherry Hill’s building stock aged in unison, so we’re in the middle of a wave of second-generation replacements that require full tear-offs. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free inspection - we’ll tell you how many layers you have and what needs to happen next.
