Roof repairs in Howell, NJ typically run $350–$1,500, and active leaks usually get tarped the day you call 848-633-6440 — our crews cross the township on Route 9 and I-195 nearly every working day. Paragon Exteriors is family-run and licensed (NJ HIC #13VH13814500), and every roof repair quote is free, itemized, and backed by photos of what we actually found.
What’s failing depends on when your street was built
Howell went up in waves, and each wave breaks in its own way:
If you live in…
What usually fails
What the fix looks like
A Candlewood or Ramtown split or ranch (late 60s–70s)
Brittle shingles on a second or third roof, tired chimney and step flashing, nail pops
Flashing rebuilt in new metal, targeted shingle runs — plus an honest read on how long the rest holds
An 80s–90s colonial off Route 9 or toward Adelphia
Builder-grade tabs losing their seal strips, valleys wearing thin across multi-gable rooflines
Lifted runs re-fastened and sealed; valley rebuilds where the mat is gone
A wooded lot in Southard, Ardena, or West Farms, or near the reservoir
Limb punctures, moss along the shade line, ice dams at eaves the winter sun never reaches
Puncture and decking repairs, eave membrane, ventilation corrections that stop the melt-freeze cycle
A newer or 55+ community home (2000s)
Cracked pipe boots, ridge vent leaks
Quick, small-dollar fixes — usually the cheapest row on this table
The stain is the exit, not the entry
A ceiling stain marks where water gave up, not where it got in — the actual breach is often several rafters upslope. We trace the path from the attic first, confirm it on the roof, and document everything with drone photos, so the itemized quote covers the real problem instead of the visible symptom. Texting us photos of the stain when you call speeds up the whole visit.
We’d rather lose a repair than sell the wrong one
A $500 flashing rebuild on a healthy 12-year-old colonial is money well spent. A fourth patch on a 25-year-old Ramtown roof that crunches underfoot is not — that money belongs in the new roof you’re about to need anyway. When a repair stops making sense, we put both numbers side by side: the fix, and a full replacement in Howell — torn off and finished in one day, with financing available. Not sure which side you’re on? Run your roof through our signs you need a new roof checklist first.
Everything else we handle in the township — siding, gutters, storm work — lives on our Howell service page.

Most Howell repairs land between $350 and $1,500 — re-secured wind-lifted shingles and new pipe boots at the low end, chimney reflashing and limb-puncture repairs with decking work at the high end. Bigger valley or deck rebuilds can reach $2,500–$3,500. Every quote is itemized, so you approve the exact scope before anyone climbs a ladder.
Do I need a Howell Township permit for a roof repair?
Like-for-like repairs — swapping damaged shingles, patching a puncture, rebuilding flashing — generally do not need one. Work that touches structure or grows into a partial re-roof requires a construction permit through the building department at the Route 9 municipal complex, and when a job crosses that line, we file it ourselves.
My Candlewood split is on its second or third roof. Is it still worth repairing?
Sometimes. If the surrounding shingles still flex and hold their granules, a targeted flashing or shingle repair buys real years. If shingles crack the moment we lift them — common on late-60s and 70s roofs finishing another cycle — a patch cannot reseal, and the money is wasted. We show you which one you have, with photos, before you spend anything.
A branch just went through my roof — what should I do before you arrive?
Stay off the roof. Move valuables out from under the drip, set a bucket down, and photograph the ceiling and the branch from the ground — useful for insurance and for us. Then call 848-633-6440; Route 9 and I-195 keep our crews close, and active punctures usually get tarped the same day.
