A roof replacement in Howell, NJ typically costs $8,500–$17,000 and takes Paragon Exteriors one day on most homes: full tear-off, deck repairs handled on the spot, and a spec built for the township’s wooded lots rather than a generic coastal package. We file the construction permit with Howell Township before work is scheduled, and every estimate is free and itemized — NJ HIC #13VH13814500, fully insured. Call 848-633-6440.
The Howell spec, line by line
Sixty-one square miles of Howell and almost none of it sees salt spray. What kills roofs here is oak shade, pine debris, and February ice — so our roof replacement spec answers exactly that:
| What goes on your roof | Why Howell specifically |
|---|---|
| Algae-resistant architectural shingles | Shaded slopes in Ramtown and near the Manasquan Reservoir streak black on standard shingles within a decade |
| Ice & water shield, run deep at eaves and valleys | Shaded eaves hold snowpack; thaw-freeze cycles push meltwater under ordinary underlayment |
| Decking replaced wherever the old plywood is soft | Leaf- and needle-packed valleys quietly rot decking on 1960s–70s Candlewood and Ramtown roofs |
| Balanced ridge and soffit ventilation | An under-vented attic bakes shingles from underneath and shortens their warranty life |
| Six-nail high-wind fastening | The open former-farmland stretches around Adelphia and West Farms take storm gusts with nothing to slow them down |

Paperwork first, dumpster gone by dinner
The permit goes in before anything is scheduled — application prepared and filed with the Howell Township building department at the Route 9 municipal complex, inspection booked by us. In 55+ communities like Equestra, we also square away the association’s color approval before a single shingle is ordered.
Tear-off day runs start to finish: crew at 7 AM, driveway and landscaping protected, old roof off and decking inspected by mid-morning, membrane and underlayment down by midday, shingles fastened to spec through the afternoon, then a magnetic nail sweep and same-day debris haul-away. You get drone photos of the finished ridge, valleys, and flashing — the details you’d otherwise need a ladder and nerve to verify.
Streets age out together — we’re built for that
Howell went up in waves, so whole blocks in Candlewood, Ramtown, and the 80s–90s developments off Route 9 hit replacement age within a few seasons of each other. Our 30 roofs in 30 days run in May 2026 was built on exactly that pattern: same-era subdivisions, one house per day, identical spec every time.
Paragon is family-run by Joe Ballaccomo (15+ years in roofing and home improvement) and Franchi Vacchiano (roughly 40 years in construction, including foreman work on major builds like the Borgata in Atlantic City). Financing turns the project into a monthly payment, and if you’re honestly not sure the roof is finished yet, start with a Howell roof repair assessment instead — we do both and we’ll tell you straight. Everything else we handle in the township is on our Howell service page.
