The spec changes by street, not just by square footage
Freehold’s housing went up over 120 years, and a good replacement quote reflects that:
| Your home | What we build into the spec |
|---|---|
| Borough Victorian or foursquare near Main Street | Steep-pitch staging, layered tear-off quoted upfront, plank decking priced per sheet in writing, chimney flashing rebuilt in new metal |
| East Freehold ranch, cape, or split (1960s–70s) | Ice & water shield run generously past the eave line, ridge and soffit ventilation corrected so the third roof outlasts the second |
| West Freehold colonial off Route 9 or 537 | Builder-grade shingles aging out at 18–22 years replaced with architectural shingles, attic airflow fixed so summer heat stops cooking them from below |
| Raintree townhome | Association-consistent color and profile, work coordinated around shared rooflines |
| Georgia or Smithburg farmhouse on a wooded lot | Limb-strike decking replaced, edge membrane under the oak canopy, gutter protection recommended where trees own the sky |
How the one day actually goes
The crew arrives early and strips the roof to the deck — never a layover. Gapped planks and soft plywood get photographed and swapped at the per-sheet price already in your contract. Then the rebuild: ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and flashing, architectural shingles, and ridge venting matched to your attic’s intake. A magnetic nail sweep and same-day debris haul close it out, and we hand you drone photos of the finished roof so you can inspect it without touching a ladder.
Two construction offices, one signature from you
“Freehold” means two building departments — Borough Hall on West Main Street or the Township’s Municipal Plaza — and filing with the wrong one stalls a job. We confirm which governs your address, submit the permit, and meet the inspector. Your part is a signature.
The crew behind the quote
Paragon is family-run by two partners who still walk every roof: Joe Ballaccomo, with 15+ years in roofing and home improvement, and Franchi Vacchiano, with roughly four decades of construction behind him — including foreman work on builds as big as the Borgata in Atlantic City. This May we ran 30 roofs in 30 days on the same written spec we use for one roof in one day. Licensed (NJ HIC #13VH13814500), fully insured, financing available, and if you’re second-guessing whether the roof even needs replacing, ask — we repair roofs in Freehold too and we’ll tell you which choice saves you money over ten years.
