Roofs in Manchester
Manchester is inland and wooded, west of Toms River along Route 37 and Route 70. Houses sit among tall pines and oaks, which means shade, needles in valleys and gutters, and branches over the roof. Moss grows where shingles stay damp. A replacement is a good time to have a tree service trim limbs back from the roof first.
Much of the housing is in planned communities. Before calling a roofer, check whether your home is detached or attached and who is responsible for the roof. Associations may set standards for color and material or handle roofs themselves.
The township spells out the permit rule on its Inspections Division permits page: since March 2018, replacing roof coverings on detached one- and two-family dwellings needs no construction permit, while work not on the state's ordinary-maintenance list needs at least a minor-work permit.
