We’ve been climbing Cherry Hill roofs since 1984. We know the 1960s tract homes off Route 70, the bi-levels near the Cherry Hill Mall, and the colonials tucked back in Erlton. Pete Navarro built this company on the idea that a roof should be fixed once and fixed right - no chasing storms, no disappearing acts. When water starts coming through your ceiling at 2 a.m. during a February nor’easter, you need someone who picks up the phone and knows what your particular roof is built like.
Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. Is Cherry Hill’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We’re not a storm-chasing crew with out-of-state plates. Ridgeline Roofing Co. has been rooted in this region for over 42 years. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to document every inspection with photos from your actual roof - not a scary speech in your driveway.
Cherry Hill homeowners call us because we understand their houses. The split-level on Chanticleer Lane with two layers of shingles over original plank sheathing. The colonial near Woodcrest with the low-slope garage addition that ices up every January. We’ve repaired roofs in ZIP codes 08002, 08003, and 08034 enough times to know what we’ll find before we set the ladder.
A live person answers every call, 24/7, including nights, weekends, and the middle of a storm. No voicemail trees. No callback windows. And every repair we complete carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise - if it’s not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
We recently replaced three layers of shingles on a 1967 split-level on Chanticleer Lane in the Woodcrest neighborhood. The original plank sheathing was delaminated under a decades-old flashing failure on the low-slope family room addition, so we ran ice-and-water shield across the entire 3:12 pitch to prevent future ice dams. That’s the kind of discovery that turns a “simple repair” into a full tear-off - and it’s routine in Cherry Hill, not rare.
Our Roof Repair Services in Cherry Hill
Shingle Replacement
Cherry Hill’s housing stock was built in a single generation, roughly 1958 to 1978, and most of those original roofs have carried two full shingle layers for decades. When we pull shingles on a split-level in Erlton or a bi-level near the mall, we routinely find the bottom layer is brittle, the fasteners are corroded, and the plank sheathing underneath has never seen daylight. Shingle replacement here isn’t just swapping tabs - it’s assessing whether the deck beneath can support another layer or needs full exposure. We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning shingles to match existing courses, and we’ll tell you straight if a patch is throwing good money after bad.
Leak Repair
Leaks in Cherry Hill follow predictable patterns. Nor’easters funnel up the Delaware Valley and drive heavy, wind-whipped rain against the multiple roof pitches of split-levels. Water finds the valley intersections, the step flashing at dormers, and the vent boots that have hardened after forty winters. We trace the stain on your ceiling back to its source - not the easy guess, but the actual entry point. On a recent repair in Woodcrest, what looked like a valley leak was actually wind-driven water migrating ten feet laterally under the shingles through a gap in the original felt. We fixed the real problem. The stain never came back.
Flashing Repair
The freeze-thaw cycles that hit Cherry Hill every winter are brutal on flashing. Metal expands, contracts, and eventually separates at the seams. Step flashing on original split-levels was often installed to 1960s standards - short pieces, minimal overlap, no ice-and-water backup. When we repair flashing on these homes, we don’t just caulk and pray. We pull the siding, inspect the deck behind it, and reinstall with proper integration into the water barrier. If your 1970s colonial needs new step flashing while we’re replacing shingles, we’ll tell you before we start and price it upfront. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
Flat Roof Patch
Those low-slope sections on Cherry Hill split-levels - the 2:12 or 3:12 pitch over the family room addition, the garage roof, the back porch - were frequently shingled to code minimums in the 1960s. They’re now notorious for ponding water and ice dams. We don’t just patch the visible leak. We assess whether the slope needs full ice-and-water shield coverage, not just the 24-inch minimum. On a 3:12 pitch in Cherry Hill, running protection across the entire plane is often the difference between a five-year fix and a permanent one.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cherry Hill
We carry stock for Cherry Hill homeowners from seven manufacturer lines: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means when we identify the problem on your roof, we don’t order parts and disappear for two weeks. We match existing shingles, replace vent boots, and install proper flashing from brands that honor their warranties. For the older Cherry Hill homes we specialize in, having the right materials on the truck matters. A 1970s split-level with Atlas shingles deserves Atlas replacements, not a close-enough substitute that fades differently and voids your remaining coverage.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Cherry Hill Homes
- Ice damming on low-slope family room additions. The 2:12 and 3:12 pitches common on Cherry Hill split-levels were shingled with minimal ice-and-water shield in the 1960s. Today’s building science demands full coverage on these planes, and we install it.
- Valley failures at multi-pitch intersections. Split-levels and bi-levels have inherently complex rooflines. Water concentrates where pitches meet, and original step flashing wears through. We see this constantly in Erlton and Woodcrest.
- Hidden deck rot under layered shingles. Original plank sheathing that hasn’t been exposed since the Johnson administration is often delaminated or rotted. We find it on roughly half the full tear-offs we perform in Cherry Hill.
- Wind damage from Delaware Valley nor’easters. Cherry Hill sits squarely in the storm track, not on the coast’s edge. Heavy wet snow and sustained wind lift shingles that were already brittle from age and layered installation.

FAQs - Roof Repair in Cherry Hill
Not always, but often yes. If your bi-level has two existing shingle layers, Cherry Hill building code requires full tear-off before any new layer. Even with one layer, we need to expose the deck to assess whether the original plank sheathing is delaminated or rotted. We won’t know until we look, and we’ll show you photos before we proceed. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free inspection.
Your 2:12 or 3:12 pitch was likely shingled with minimal underlayment in the 1960s, and the combination of poor drainage and insufficient ice-and-water shield creates a ponding trap. Snow melts, refreezes at the eave, and backs up under the shingles. We routinely solve this by running ice-and-water shield across the entire low-slope plane, not just the code minimum. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll assess your specific sections.
Sometimes, but valley leaks on split-levels often indicate deeper problems. The multiple pitches concentrate runoff, and original step flashing may be worn through. We trace the actual water path, inspect the decking behind the valley, and repair to a standard that lasts - not a patch that leaks again next spring. Estimates are free; call (844) 563-1816.
If the flashing is original to the house, yes. Forty-plus years of Delaware Valley freeze-thaw cycles have likely compromised the metal and the sealant. Replacing flashing during shingle work costs less than coming back later, and it protects your new shingles. We price this upfront, no surprises. Call (844) 563-1816 for an exact quote.
Standard repairs - shingle replacement, flashing, vent boots - usually finish in four to six hours. If we discover deck rot and need to replace plank sheathing, expect one to two days. We work to complete every job with minimal disruption, and we protect your property while we’re there. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule; most Cherry Hill repairs start within 24-48 hours.
