Built for how Old Bridge roofs actually fail
A roof replacement in Old Bridge, NJ from Paragon Exteriors is a full tear-off — never a layover — with the deck inspected, ice & water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, and architectural shingles fastened to spec. 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. We’re family-run and NJ HIC-registered (#13VH13814500), and 08857 sits at the top of our route straight up Route 9.
The spec, and why each layer is here
Old Bridge splits into two roofing climates, and we build for the one your house is in.
| Layer | What we install | Why it matters in Old Bridge |
|---|---|---|
| Deck | Rotten plywood or plank swapped on the spot | Third-cycle Madison Park and Sayre Woods South decks hide soft spots under old layovers |
| Eaves & valleys | Ice & water shield membrane | 1950s capes with half-story attics are textbook ice-dam roofs |
| Field | Synthetic underlayment + architectural shingles | Standard inland; upgraded fastening near the bay |
| Laurence Harbor | 130 mph wind-rated shingles, six-nail, sealed edge | Bayfront strip catches nor’easter wind off Raritan Bay with nothing to slow it |
| Attic | Ridge venting matched to intake | Under-vented postwar attics cook shingles from below and drive ice dams |
How the day runs
Bad plywood comes off, membrane and underlayment go down, then the shingles, flashing, and ridge vent. The written proposal defines the material, installation, documentation, and scheduling requirements for the project.
