Tear-off replacement built for a borough surrounded by salt water
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. Every job here gets our coastal spec: 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles, six-nail fastening, sealed edge metal, and corrosion-resistant flashing, because nearly every roof in the borough sits within two miles of salt water. 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.
That spec isn’t an upsell — it’s geography. Point Pleasant is boxed in by the Manasquan River, the Point Pleasant Canal, and Beaver Dam Creek. A nor’easter turns the canal into a wind tunnel through Lovelandtown while gusts off the bay hammer east-facing slopes in Bay Head Shores. Fastening that passes inland doesn’t hold here; a six-nail schedule and sealed edges do.
The spec, line by line
- 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles — our take on the best shingle lines for the Shore
- Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations; synthetic underlayment across the field
- New drip edge, corrosion-resistant flashing, and pipe boots that don’t surrender to salt air in ten years
- Ridge venting sized to your attic’s intake — a common miss on the borough’s 1950s–70s capes, ranches, and split-levels
- Deck inspection during tear-off, with soft or delaminated plywood swapped on the spot
One local wrinkle we check every time: if your home along the lagoons or canal was elevated after Sandy, its wind exposure rose with it. We build for the height the roof lives at now, not the height it was originally permitted at.
