McManus Roofing LLC serves Mantua Township, NJ and the surrounding Gloucester County area, including the Sewell section and the neighborhoods off Route 45 and Mantua Boulevard. We handle roof replacement, repairs, leak tracing, storm and wind damage, flat and low-slope roofing, and gutters.
Two kinds of housing, two kinds of job. Mantua Township runs from older homes around the original village center out to the large subdivisions that went up through the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. They fail differently. The older stock brings multiple shingle layers, plank sheathing and tired chimney flashing. The newer subdivisions bring builder-grade three-tab shingles that are now reaching the end of a 20 to 25 year life more or less simultaneously across entire developments — if your neighbours are getting roofs done, that is usually why.
Roof replacement. Tear-off goes to bare deck regardless of which category your house falls into, because roofing over hides rot, adds weight and voids most manufacturer warranties. We install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, new flashing at every penetration, and ridge and soffit ventilation sized to the actual attic volume. Architectural shingle is the standard choice; metal and flat membrane are available for the sections that call for them.
Repairs, leaks and storm damage. Most Mantua leak calls trace to step flashing where a roof meets a chimney or sidewall, pipe boots that have dried and split, or wind-lifted sections along an exposed slope. On the newer developments, builder-grade three-tab shingles that have gone brittle are the usual culprit. We tarp and stabilize active leaks, document storm damage for your insurance carrier, and schedule the permanent fix. Calls answered Monday to Friday 8am to 10pm and weekends 8am to 8pm.

Roofing Contractor in Mantua — Local Notes
- •Mantua Township is in Gloucester County, west of our Waterford Works base, and is part of our regular service area.
- •Subdivision-built homes from the 1980s through 2000s often went up with builder-grade three-tab shingles, and whole developments now reach end of life within a few years of each other.
- •Older homes near the village center more commonly have multiple shingle layers and plank sheathing, both of which affect tear-off and fastening.
- •Where developments have uniform rooflines and tight side setbacks, staging and dumpster placement need planning — we sort that before the truck arrives, not on the day.
- •Mature tree cover in the established neighborhoods loads gutters and valleys with leaf debris each fall, which is a common cause of slow leaks that only show during long steady rain.
