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. Call 848-633-6440.
The Seaside Heights spec, line by line
No house in this borough sits more than a few blocks from salt water, so the question is never whether to build coastal — it’s what coastal means in materials:
| Detail | Typical inland roof | Every Paragon roof here |
|---|---|---|
| Shingles | Standard architectural, 4 nails | 130 mph wind-rated, 6 nails per shingle |
| Edges | Basic starter strip | Enhanced starter, sealed rake and eave edges |
| Flashing & fasteners | Galvanized | Corrosion-resistant metal |
| Water barrier | Felt paper | Ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment everywhere else |

Tear-off day on a narrow island lot
Seaside Heights houses sit tight — to each other and to the street — and the 1920s–’50s bungalows between the Ortley Beach line and the Seaside Park border often carry two or three shingle layers. All of it comes off. We tarp your neighbors’ siding and gardens on both sides, inspect the deck (decades of salt-laden humidity rot plywood, and replacement sheets are already priced per-sheet in your estimate), then dry-in and shingle to the spec above. Post-Sandy elevated homes on pilings get proper staging, not ladders and optimism. Photo or drone documentation may be included when appropriate for roof access, safety, and project scope.
Scheduled around the rental calendar
Most island roofs get replaced between Labor Day and Memorial Day, and the window is unforgiving. Current third-party financing options may be available, subject to lender disclosures, terms, and approval. Paragon is not a lender and does not guarantee approval or a particular payment.
