Why Camden Roofs Need a Different Approach
55% Row Houses & Party Walls
Camden has the highest percentage of row houses in our coverage area. Shared party walls, flat and low-slope roofs, and tightly packed structures from the early 1900s require EPDM membrane expertise and careful flashing at every adjoining wall. Fairview Village's 1919 federal shipbuilder housing is architecturally unique in all of New Jersey.
Chronic Flooding — Not Just Rain
Camden sits on the tidal Delaware River with a century-old combined sewer system that overflows routinely during heavy rain. Marlton has 55% of its area in the FEMA 100-year floodplain. Cramer Hill is bordered by tidal rivers on two sides. Repeated water exposure accelerates fascia rot, soffit damage, and flashing failure from the edges inward.
$116K Median — Every Dollar Counts
At a median home value of $116,483, Camden has the lowest values in our coverage area. A $10,000–$15,000 roof replacement represents 9–13% of total property value. Financing isn't optional here — it's essential. We offer payments as low as $84/month and work with insurance on storm claims to make roof replacement accessible.

We match the right material to your home type and budget — whether it's a flat-roofed row house in Parkside or a pitched Federal-style home in Fairview Village.
EPDM Flat Roof Systems
The go-to for Camden's row houses. Most attached homes have flat or low-slope roofs that require membrane roofing, not shingles. EPDM rubber is watertight, cost-effective, and handles ponding water from Camden's heavy rains and overwhelmed drainage systems.

Camden Roof Replacement FAQ
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Camden?
Yes. The City of Camden Division of Codes and Standards requires permits for roofing work under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC). Re-roofing without structural changes may qualify as ordinary maintenance, but Camden’s building department may still require a permit — always confirm before starting work. Global Roofing handles the entire permit process for you.
What roofing material is best for Camden’s row houses?
It depends on the roof slope. Most Camden row houses have flat or low-slope roofs, making EPDM rubber membrane the best option — it’s watertight, durable, and cost-effective for the flat sections common on attached homes. For pitched sections or single-family homes, CertainTeed architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds offer the best combination of durability and value with a 50-year warranty.
How does flooding affect Camden roofs?
Camden’s century-old combined sewer system is routinely overwhelmed during heavy rain, causing surface flooding and standing water around foundations. Neighborhoods like Marlton (55% in the FEMA 100-year floodplain) and Cramer Hill face both tidal Delaware River flooding and stormwater backup. While flooding primarily impacts foundations, repeated water exposure accelerates fascia rot, soffit damage, and flashing deterioration — all of which compromise roof integrity from the edges inward.
Does my Camden home need special roofing if it’s in Cooper Grant Historic District?
If your home is in the Cooper Grant Historic District, roofing changes may require review to ensure compatibility with the district’s Second Empire, Italianate, and Gothic architectural character. This can affect material choices, colors, and visible roof profiles. Global Roofing has experience navigating historic district requirements and will handle the approval process as part of your project.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in a single day. Our crew arrives in the morning, strips the old roof, installs the complete Integrity Roof System — including waterproofing underlayment, synthetic underlayment, starter shingles, architectural shingles, ventilation, and ridge caps — and completes cleanup before the end of the day. Row houses with flat roof sections may take slightly longer if EPDM membrane installation is needed.
What warranty does Global Roofing offer?
Every roof replacement comes with a transferable 50-year premium shingle warranty and a 25-year workmanship warranty, both backed by our GlobalCare program. For EPDM flat roof sections, manufacturer warranties cover the membrane system separately. This is one of the most comprehensive warranty packages available in the Camden market.
Do you offer financing for roof replacement in Camden?
Yes — and we know this matters especially in Camden. With a median home value of $116,483, a roof replacement can represent 9–13% of your total property value. We offer flexible financing including no payments for 12 months, low-interest programs, and monthly payments as low as $84/month. We also work directly with insurance companies on storm damage claims.
