We’ve been climbing Cherry Hill roofs since 1984. Pete Navarro started Ridgeline Roofing Co. with a simple standard: treat every home like your mother’s. That means no storm-chasing, no bait-and-switch, no crew that disappears before the warranty paperwork dries. Our trucks roll regularly through Erlton, Woodcrest, and the neighborhoods off Route 70 and Haddonfield-Berlin Road. We know the township’s permit process, the inspection requirements for 08002, 08003, and 08034, and the specific ways Cherry Hill’s 1960s-70s housing stock fails.
Here’s what separates a local roof from a generic one: Cherry Hill’s homes were built in a single concentrated wave, and they share concentrated problems. We solve those problems every day.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Cherry Hill
Full Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement is our most common call in Cherry Hill, and for good reason. The township’s residential neighborhoods were built out almost entirely between 1958 and 1978, meaning the vast majority of split-levels, bi-levels, and colonial ranches share aging roof decks and are now commonly carrying two full shingle layers already installed. Full tear-offs to the deck are the norm here, not overlays. Rotted or delaminated OSB and plank decking is a routine discovery that neighboring towns with newer or more staggered housing stock simply don’t see at the same rate.
We remove everything down to the sheathing, replace damaged planks, install proper underlayment, and apply your chosen material to manufacturer specifications. Every full replacement includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise - if it’s not right, we make it right.
New Construction Roofing
While Cherry Hill’s buildable lots are scarce, we still handle new construction and major additions in the township and surrounding Camden County. We coordinate directly with builders and homeowners to specify materials that match Cherry Hill’s freeze-thaw climate and the township’s wind-exposure requirements. Proper deck ventilation is critical on new builds - we design intake and exhaust systems that prevent the ice-dam conditions that plague so many existing homes.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
Asphalt shingles remain the practical choice for most Cherry Hill homes, and we install them right. We are authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, among others. In Cherry Hill’s climate, we specify architectural or dimensional shingles with Class A fire ratings and wind warranties to 130 mph - not because coastal storms always hit that hard, but because nor’easters funneling up the Delaware Valley can deliver sustained punishment that inland towns escape.
On low-slope sections - the 2:12 or 3:12 pitches common over garages and family room additions on split-levels - we routinely call for full ice-and-water shield coverage, not just the code-minimum 24 inches. These sections were frequently shingled to minimums in the 1960s and are now notorious ice-dam and ponding-water traps. Experienced local roofers know this. Storm-chasers don’t.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing makes sense for Cherry Hill homeowners planning to stay decades. Standing seam systems shed snow loads efficiently, resist wind uplift, and eliminate the granule loss that shortens shingle life in freeze-thaw cycles. We install Atlas and Tamko metal product lines with concealed fasteners that won’t back out from thermal expansion. Metal costs more upfront. It pays back in longevity and reduced maintenance on complex rooflines with multiple valleys and pitch changes.
Flat Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofing demands different materials and techniques. On Cherry Hill’s split-levels with true flat sections over additions, we install modified bitumen, TPO, or EPDM systems depending on the structure and drainage. These membranes handle ponding water and thermal cycling better than shingles ever could on pitches below 2:12. We always verify positive drainage before specifying any flat system - a puddle in July becomes an ice rink in January.
Tile Roofing
Clay and concrete tile roofing is less common in Cherry Hill’s 1960s-70s housing stock, but we install Boral and other manufacturer lines for custom homes and major renovations. Tile’s weight requires structural verification, especially on older homes with original plank decking. We handle the engineering assessment and permit process as part of our standard workflow.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cherry Hill

For Cherry Hill homeowners, this means we stock common shingle colors and accessories locally, reducing wait times when you’re staring at a tarp and a weather forecast.

Named for the ridge - the line where a roof proves itself.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Cherry Hill Homes
- Ice dams on low-slope garage and addition roofs. Cherry Hill’s 2:12 and 3:12 pitch sections, common on split-levels in Erlton and Woodcrest, trap melting snow that refreezes at the eaves. Without full ice-and-water shield, water backs up under shingles and into the deck. We see this every February.
- Rotted plank sheathing under layered shingles. Homes built 1958-1978 often have original plank decking that has absorbed decades of intermittent leaks. During tear-offs, we find delaminated, punky wood that must be replaced before new roofing goes down. Overlays hide this damage. They don’t fix it.
- Valley intersection leaks on multi-pitch rooflines. Split-levels and bi-levels have inherently complex rooflines with short lower sections meeting steeper upper pitches. Freeze-thaw cycles crack step-flashing and seam sealant at these valleys. We inspect every valley with a probe and replace all flashing during full replacements.
- Wind uplift on aging three-tab shingles. Cherry Hill’s position in the Delaware Valley storm track means repeated exposure to nor’easter winds. Shingles past 20 years lose sealant strips and lift progressively. We see entire slopes stripped bare while neighboring homes with newer architectural shingles ride out the same storm intact.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Cherry Hill
Yes, on pitches of 2:12 to 3:12, we recommend full ice-and-water shield coverage of the entire low-slope plane, not just the 24-inch code minimum. Cherry Hill’s freeze-thaw cycles and nor’easter snow loads make these sections the most leak-prone areas on 1960s-70s split-levels. In a Woodcrest split-level, we tore off two layers of shingles from a 1972 ranch. The low-slope garage section had a 2:12 pitch with original plank sheathing showing water damage. We installed a full ice-and-water shield across that entire plane, then applied Owens Corning Duration® cool shingles with a nail gun set for cold-weather drive. The homeowner’s decade of ice-dam issues ended that winter. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule an inspection of your low-slope sections - estimates are free.
No, we do not recommend overlays on Cherry Hill’s aging housing stock, and many two-layer roofs are no longer code-compliant for a third. The weight stresses original plank sheathing that may already be compromised, and overlays trap moisture that accelerates deck rot. Full tear-offs let us inspect and replace damaged sheathing, install proper underlayment, and apply materials to manufacturer warranty specifications. The additional cost of tear-off versus overlay is typically $1,500-$3,000 on a standard Cherry Hill split-level - modest compared to the cost of repairing interior water damage from a failed overlay. Call (844) 563-1816 for an honest assessment of your specific roof.
Valley leaks announce themselves with water stains on interior walls or ceilings directly below the valley intersection, or with visible rust or deterioration on exterior flashing from the ground. On Cherry Hill’s multi-pitch split-levels and bi-levels, step-flashing and seam sealant take repeated punishment from freeze-thaw cycles. We inspect valleys with a probe during every tear-off and replace all flashing as standard practice - not as an upsell. If your roof is 20+ years old and you’ve never had valleys inspected, schedule a free photo-documented inspection. Call (844) 563-1816.
We specify Owens Corning Duration® or GAF Timberline® HDZ architectural shingles for most Cherry Hill replacements. Both carry wind warranties to 130 mph and perform well in freeze-thaw cycling. The critical factor is not the brand alone but the installation: proper nail placement, adequate attic ventilation, and ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys. We are authorized installers for both brands and honor their full manufacturer warranties. For a specific recommendation based on your roof’s pitch, exposure, and ventilation, call (844) 563-1816 - we’ll walk your roof and give you a straight answer.
Yes, steep pitches on Cherry Hill bi-levels require additional safety rigging, modified nail gun angle settings, and often hand-sealing of starter courses in cold weather. Our crews are trained on these techniques and equipped with fall-protection systems that exceed OSHA requirements. The steeper pitch actually sheds snow and water more effectively once properly roofed - the problem is almost always the original installation quality or age, not the pitch itself. We document our safety setup and installation process with photos for your records. Call (844) 563-1816 to discuss your bi-level’s specific needs.
