A tear-off spec’d for open Atlantic wind
Paragon Exteriors replaces roofs in Mantoloking, NJ with a full tear-off built to oceanfront spec: 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles, six nails per shingle, corrosion-resistant hardware, and sealed edge courses on every slope. Roof replacement timing depends on roof size, complexity, weather, material delivery, access, and required inspections. The written proposal and confirmed schedule state the expected work sequence before installation begins. Paragon Exteriors is registered as a New Jersey home-improvement contractor (NJ HIC #13VH13814500). Ask for the current insurance certificate and any trade-license attribution required for the proposed scope.
The rebuilt dunes and the steel wall buried under them protect this beach from surge — they do nothing about the gusts a nor’easter runs straight down Ocean Avenue. That’s why we upgrade every detail an inland installer treats as optional:
| Detail | Common inland install | Our Mantoloking spec |
|---|---|---|
| Fastening | 4 nails, electro-galvanized | 6 nails per shingle, hot-dipped or stainless |
| Shingle rating | Standard wind rating | 130 mph architectural |
| Edges | Basic starter strip | Sealed starter, rake, and ridge courses |
| Flashing | Galvanized steel | Aluminum or copper — salt corrodes galvanized early |
| Deck protection | Felt underlayment | Ice & water shield at eaves and valleys plus synthetic |
From drone scope to final inspection
Photo or drone documentation may be included when appropriate for roof access, safety, and project scope. We file the permit with the borough construction office at Borough Hall on Downer Avenue (or with Brick Township if you’re in South Mantoloking — we confirm which before filing), plan material drops and dumpster placement for the borough’s tight lots before the crew crosses the Mantoloking Bridge, and replace any soft decking at a per-sheet price you saw up front.
Because most owners here are somewhere else for much of the year, the whole project runs remotely if you want it to: approve the scope from the photos, track the work from the drone documentation, inspect the result without driving down. Plenty of Mantoloking roofs go on between October and May for exactly that reason — our take on timing is in the best time to replace a roof in NJ.
