McManus Roofing LLC covers Monroeville and the wider Elk Township area of Gloucester County. We handle roof replacement, repairs, leak tracing, storm and wind damage, low-slope roofing and gutters on the homes, farmhouses and outbuildings across this part of rural South Jersey.
Rural lots change the job. Monroeville is not a dense suburb, and that works in your favor on a roofing job. Staging is usually straightforward, a dumpster can generally go where it needs to go, and there is room to work. What rural lots do bring is exposure — houses sitting in open ground take more direct wind on the roof plane than the same house tucked into a subdivision, and wind damage here tends to show up along rake edges and ridge caps first.
Roof replacement. Older farmhouses and mid-century homes in the area frequently have multiple shingle layers and, on the oldest properties, plank sheathing rather than plywood. We count layers and check the deck during the inspection, because both change the quote and neither should be a surprise once the roof is open. Tear-off goes to bare wood, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, new flashing at every penetration, and ventilation sized to the attic.
Outbuildings, barns and low-slope. A lot of Monroeville properties have more roof than just the house — pole barns, equipment sheds, detached garages, additions with shallow pitch. Those need low-slope membrane or metal rather than shingles, and shingling a shallow pitch is one of the more common problems we get called to correct. We carry materials for both and will quote the outbuildings alongside the house.
Storm damage. After a wind event we tarp and stabilize first, photograph and itemize the damage for your insurance carrier, then schedule the permanent repair. Calls are answered Monday to Friday 8am to 10pm and weekends 8am to 8pm.

Roofing Contractor in Monroeville — Local Notes
- •Monroeville is in Elk Township, Gloucester County — a genuine drive from our Waterford Works shop, so we schedule work here in blocks. Call early if you have an active leak rather than waiting to see whether it gets worse.
- •Open rural lots mean more direct wind exposure on the roof plane; damage typically starts at rake edges, ridge caps and any section that was already lifting.
- •Older farmhouses in the area often have plank sheathing rather than plywood, which can require overlay board before new shingles are fastened properly.
- •Most properties here have room for proper staging and a dumpster in the drive, which keeps tear-off efficient and costs down compared with tight suburban lots.
- •Detached garages, pole barns and equipment sheds usually carry low-slope metal or rolled roofing — different material and detailing from the house roof, and worth quoting at the same visit.
