Roofing in Cinnaminson
Cinnaminson filled in during the post-war building years, and the housing shows it: more than half its homes went up between 1950 and 1970, a heavier concentration of split-levels and long low ranches than most Burlington County towns carry. The split-level is the shape we get called about most. Where the low-pitch roof over the garage or lower wing runs into the taller two-story wall, the runoff has to be turned by step flashing woven into the shingle courses and a counter-flashing tucked into the wall cladding above it. When that junction is caulked instead of properly layered, or the flashing stops short at the eave end with no kick-out to steer water into the gutter, the sheathing behind the siding stays wet and the framing at that corner goes soft.
The ranches bring a different problem. Their roofs are long, shallow-pitched planes with wide overhanging eaves, and a low pitch gives wind-driven rain more time to creep back under the courses near the eave and around the pipe boots and plumbing vents. On a shallow roof a cracked boot or a lifted course does not announce itself; the water travels down the underside of the deck for a while before it ever stains a ceiling. On these houses we look closely at the boots, the starter courses at the low edge, and the underlayment across the eaves.
Cinnaminson marks the far south end of our North Jersey range, so the jobs we take on down here tend to be the larger ones: a full tear-off and re-roof, a split-level's worth of tired flashing redone, a low-slope section rebuilt from the deck up. When we make the trip, the aim is to find what is actually leaking and price that, rather than push a replacement a sound roof does not warrant. On most of these mid-century houses the real fault sits in the flashing and the ventilation, not in the shingles themselves.
The river edge and Pompeston Creek
The western, river-facing streets are the oldest part of town and the lowest. The Delaware is right there, Pompeston Creek cuts through, and the low blocks near both take on water when a storm and a high tide line up. That much moisture in the ground and air keeps attics damp, and a damp attic is where roof decking quietly rots. On the shallow-pitched roofs common here, condensation collecting on the underside of the sheathing does as much damage over the years as any leak coming from above. Steady intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge is what keeps the deck dry, and on a lot of these houses the original ventilation was never adequate or has since been buried under blown-in insulation.
Route 130 carries the township's commercial buildings, and those are a different roof entirely: low-slope single-ply membrane over storefronts, strip retail, and small offices. On those we watch the seams, the parapet flashing, the metal coping that caps the parapet wall, and the drainage. Many of these roofs shed through scuppers cut into the parapet or through internal drains, and a clogged scupper or a drain with a failed seal ponds water fast on a flat deck. The curb flashing around rooftop HVAC units is another spot worth checking, since those get opened up and resealed poorly across a building's life.

Burlington gets milder winters than the north but plenty of summer thunderstorm and hail activity. Pine Barrens properties have unique tree-debris and pitch-resin challenges.

Common Cinnaminson Roof Problems We Fix
Patterns we see again and again on Cinnaminson roofs — most driven by the local housing stock and Burlington County climate. If any of these sound familiar, give us a call for a free on-site assessment.
- Split-level roofs where a low-pitch section meets a two-story wall: step and counter-flashing at that cheek wall fail long before the shingles do, and a missing kick-out at the eave end soaks the corner framing.
- Long, shallow-pitched ranch roofs where the wide eaves and low slope let wind-driven rain get under the starter courses and around the pipe boots, rotting the deck sheathing from beneath before the shingle surface shows any wear.
- Delaware River and Pompeston Creek humidity keeping attics damp, so decking rots from condensation underneath as much as from any leak, wherever soffit-to-ridge ventilation is short.
- Low riverfront and creek-side blocks that flood when heavy storms and high tides coincide, which is hard on the lowest roof edges, the gutters, and the fascia.
- Route 130 storefront and strip-retail roofs on flat single-ply membrane, where clogged scuppers, tired internal drains, and poorly resealed HVAC curbs let water pond.
