McManus Roofing LLC is a roofing contractor serving Hammonton, NJ and the surrounding Atlantic County area. Our shop sits at 22 Maiese Ave in Waterford Works, a short run down the White Horse Pike, which makes Hammonton one of the closest towns on our route. We handle roof replacement, repairs, leak tracing, storm damage and gutters on the Victorians and mid-century ranches downtown as well as the farmhouses and outbuildings on the surrounding blueberry acreage.
Roof repair and emergency leaks. Hammonton calls most often start with water showing on a plaster ceiling. On the older housing stock downtown that usually traces to failed chimney flashing, a corroded valley, or shingles that have gone brittle and lifted at the edges. We find the entry point rather than patching where the stain appears, since water commonly runs several feet along a rafter first. For active leaks we tarp and stabilize the same day when we can, then schedule the permanent fix.
Roof replacement and installation. Plenty of Hammonton roofs are carrying two or three layers of old asphalt by now. We tear off everything down to the deck, replace boards that have gone soft — common around chimneys and in valleys on houses of this age — install ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, and finish in architectural shingle, standing-seam metal, or flat membrane where the slope calls for it. Ventilation gets sized to the attic so summer humidity is not driven back into the sheathing.
Storm and wind damage. Hammonton sits in the path of the summer thunderstorm lines that come up out of the southwest, and nor'easters push through in the colder months. Shingle blow-off, lifted ridge caps and limb strikes are the usual aftermath. We secure the roof, photograph and itemize the damage for your insurance carrier, and get the permanent repair on the schedule. Phones are answered Monday to Friday 8am to 10pm and weekends 8am to 8pm.

Roofing Contractor in Hammonton — Local Notes
- •Hammonton is in Atlantic County and sits close to our Waterford Works base along the White Horse Pike and Route 54, so travel time is short and we cover it on the same schedule as our home township.
- •Homes built before 1960 downtown frequently have multiple shingle layers, which adds tear-off labor and disposal weight — we count the layers during the inspection so the quote does not move partway through the job.
- •North-facing eaves near Hammonton Lake hold ice well into the morning during a cold snap, which is where ice dams form and push water back under the lower shingle courses.
- •Narrow side streets off Bellevue Avenue limit truck and dumpster access, so we stage ladders and bundles from the roadway rather than the driveway on many downtown jobs.
- •Farm outbuildings and packing sheds on the surrounding acreage often carry low-slope metal or rolled roofing that needs different materials and detailing than a house roof — we handle both.
