Roofing, Siding & Windows in Florence Township, NJ
— Quoted in 15 Minutes.

Florence Township's 9.76 square miles hold two distinct housing histories along the Delaware River: the original 1849 Florence village along Front Street and Broad Street, and the Roebling neighborhood — roughly 750 brick homes built in 1904 as a planned company town for workers at the Roebling steel mill and wire rope plant. Both communities sit on Delaware River-adjacent ground where flood exposure and river humidity compound the standard Burlington County freeze-thaw wear. Permits run through the Construction Office at 711 Broad Street, and we handle that filing before any crew departs. Send the address; we build the aerial 3D plan and confirm the written quote on one 15-minute Zoom.

Why Florence Township Homeowners Choose D'Bros

Roebling Brick or Florence Village Frame — We Read the Difference.

711 Broad Street — Permit Filed Before the Crew Ships

Florence Township's permit office is at 711 Broad Street — CCO Joseph LaRocca (CO@florence-nj.gov), 609-499-2130 — and administers all NJ UCC residential permits for the township, with Technical Assistants Shannyn Jones (ext. 117) and Jodie Hein (ext. 131) supporting the process. We own the application filing, inspection scheduling, and permit card closure for every project — none of that is the homeowner's problem to track.

Two Housing Eras — Each Scoped on Its Own Terms

A Roebling 1904 brick worker home and a postwar frame colonial in the township's later-built sections are different jobs — different wall assemblies, different roof deck conditions, different window rough openings. We pull your building type from the aerial before the Zoom opens, so the written spec you review matches the structure you actually own.

Delaware River Exposure — Factored Into Every Spec

Florence Township's Delaware frontage means river humidity and flood-zone proximity are real conditions on many parcels — not a footnote. Drainage margins, underlayment weight, and flashing at penetrations and rakes are all calibrated to the river-adjacent environment before the written quote goes to you on the Zoom.

Roofing in Florence Township

Florence Township's roofing scope varies sharply by neighborhood: Roebling's early-1900s brick worker homes carry a different roof structure, pitch, and drainage geometry than the older Delaware-front frame homes along Front Street in Florence village or the township's postwar additions. The Florence Township Construction Office at 711 Broad Street handles all NJ UCC residential permits — we file before any crew is dispatched and run every required inspection on our schedule, not yours.

Siding in Florence Township

The Roebling neighborhood's approximately 750 brick worker homes from 1904 have brick and masonry profiles that differ from later wood-frame and vinyl-clad construction elsewhere in the township. Delaware River humidity and freeze-thaw winters drive moisture infiltration behind any cladding that isn't properly flashed and detailed for that river-adjacent environment. We model your building's actual envelope from aerial imagery before specifying any replacement siding — brick homes, frame homes, and postwar construction each get a scope built for their actual wall assembly.

Windows & Doors in Florence Township

Early-twentieth-century homes in the Roebling neighborhood and the older Delaware-front structures in Florence village carry window and door openings sized to original dimensions that don't match modern replacement unit standards. We measure every opening off the facade's aerial image, model the replacement on your 3D elevation, and confirm sizing and profile before anything ships — eliminating the field surprises that come from ordering from a template instead of the actual building.

Fences in Florence Township

Florence Township's zoning regulations govern setback and height for fences across its 9.76-square-mile footprint. The permit is filed with Joseph LaRocca's Construction Office at 711 Broad Street before any post is installed. For riverfront parcels in the Delaware flood zone, we also confirm that the fence installation plan does not conflict with any flood-ordinance setback requirements specific to the lot.

What Shapes Exterior Work in Florence

Two Historic Communities, One Delaware River Edge.

Florence Township exterior projects break along three lines:

  • Roebling's 1904 brick company-town homes: The approximately 750 brick worker homes Charles Roebling built in 1904 are early-twentieth-century construction with masonry walls, roof structures, and window proportions that differ materially from postwar residential construction. Speccing a Roebling home to a modern suburban template produces a misfit; we read the actual era and wall assembly from the aerial and model accordingly.
  • Flood-zone exposure from the Delaware riverbank: Florence Township's waterfront isn't incidental — 0.401 square miles of water area in the Census 2024 Gazetteer reflects a township whose western boundary runs along the Delaware for its full length. Both the Florence village on Front Street and the Roebling neighborhood a mile north sit on ground that FEMA maps put in or adjacent to flood-hazard zones. On those parcels the practical translation into exterior work is tighter drainage margins at eaves, heavier underlayment at rakes and valleys, and aggressive flashing at all roof penetrations — specs that differ materially from what we'd write for a dry inland lot.
  • Seasonal climate stress on brick and frame alike: Burlington County's humid-continental winters produce sustained temperature swings that pop caulk joints, erode shingle granules, and push moisture past siding on both the early-1900s masonry homes and the township's later-built frame and vinyl-clad stock. The combination of building age and river proximity makes material selection and sealing details here more consequential than on a newer inland property.

1849Florence City Company Founded

Florence Township's story begins in 1849, when the Florence City Company — an association of New York financiers — purchased 600 acres along the Delaware River in then-Mansfield Township, laid out city lots, and constructed wharves, water works, a city hall, and the celebrated Florence Hotel on the riverbank. The Florence Iron Works followed in 1857 near present-day Foundry Street; in 1867, Richard D. Wood purchased the plant and drove decades of further community development, building homes, stores, recreation facilities, and a library for workers — and creating the water and sewer systems that still serve the community today.

A second distinct community arrived in 1904: Charles Roebling purchased a 115-acre farm near the Kinkora railway station from Jacob Hoffner for $17,000 on June 25 of that year. Charles and his brother Ferdinand then invested $4,000,000 to build their steel mill, wire rope plant, and the planned town of Roebling — filling approximately 50 acres of marshland and constructing roughly 750 brick homes for the mill workers. Those brick homes remain a defining feature of the Roebling neighborhood today.

Florence Township FAQ

Questions Florence Township Homeowners Ask.

How do I obtain a roofing or siding permit in Florence Township?
The permit office is at 711 Broad Street, Florence NJ 08518. CCO Joseph LaRocca (CO@florence-nj.gov) handles it; the main line is 609-499-2130. The office issues all NJ UCC residential construction permits and handles inspections and code compliance for the township. We take care of the application and all inspection scheduling so the Township process never becomes a task on your list.
What makes Roebling's 1904 brick homes different from standard residential work?
The Roebling neighborhood's approximately 750 brick worker homes, built around 1904 as part of Charles Roebling's planned company town, have masonry walls, roof structures, and window proportions that differ from postwar construction. That means material specs, flashing details, and rough-opening measurements that work on a 1985 colonial don't automatically translate to a 1904 Roebling brick home. We read the actual building from the aerial and model the scope to match it — including any access or staging considerations specific to the Roebling neighborhood's street layout.
Is my Florence Township address in a flood zone?
Florence Township's Delaware riverfront accounts for 0.401 square miles of water (Census 2024 Gazetteer), and parcels in both Florence village and the Roebling neighborhood can fall inside FEMA-mapped flood zones. Before we write the scope for any Florence address, we confirm the parcel's flood-zone status — that designation drives underlayment weight, flashing placement at roof penetrations, and any flood-ordinance setback that applies to fence permits on the lot.
Which ZIP codes cover Florence Township, and which school district runs the local schools?
Florence Township uses three ZIP codes: 08518 anchors Florence village proper and the Roebling neighborhood; 08505 covers portions near Bordentown; and 08554 picks up additional Roebling-area addresses near the Delaware. The township runs its own K–12 school system — Florence Township School District (florence.k12.nj.us) — with four campuses that reflect the township's two-community geography: Florence Preschool, Riverfront School, Roebling School (in the Roebling neighborhood), and Florence High School.
Who founded the Roebling neighborhood in Florence Township?
Charles Roebling — John Roebling’s third son — purchased a 115-acre farm near the Kinkora railway station from Jacob Hoffner for $17,000 on June 25, 1904. Charles and his brother Ferdinand then invested $4,000,000 to build the Roebling steel mill, wire rope plant, and the planned town itself, filling approximately 50 acres of marshland and constructing roughly 750 brick homes for the workforce. Charles conceived the town's design and layout and is considered its founder.
