A roof built for Jackson’s trees, not the beach
Paragon Exteriors replaces roofs across Jackson, NJ with a full tear-off finished in one day on most homes, at a typical cost of $8,500–$17,000 for asphalt shingles. We file the construction permit with the Jackson Township Building Department, spec every roof for wooded-lot conditions, and hand you a free, itemized estimate before any work begins (NJ HIC #13VH13814500, fully insured).
Jackson roofs don’t fight salt air — they fight the canopy. So our roof replacement spec shifts inland: extra ice & water shield at the shaded eaves and valleys where winter snow refuses to melt, algae-resistant architectural shingles for north slopes under the oaks, and ventilation sized so summer attic heat doesn’t cook the shingles from below. And because the open former-farmland stretches off Route 537 still take nor’easter gusts broadside, we keep six-nail high-wind fastening standard here too. Weighing shingle brands? Our GAF vs CertainTeed vs Owens Corning breakdown gives you the straight comparison.
Tear-off day, hour by hour
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| 7 AM | Crew arrives, driveway and landscaping protected, tear-off starts |
| Mid-morning | Deck inspection — rotten plywood (common at the eaves of older Cassville and Jackson Mills capes) replaced on the spot |
| Midday | Ice & water shield, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and flashing |
| Afternoon | Shingles installed to high-wind spec, ridge vent set |
| By dinner | Debris hauled away, magnetic nail sweep, drone photos of the finished roof |
The permit is filed and approved before that morning ever arrives, and we schedule the Township inspection ourselves.
If your street went up between 1995 and 2008
Thousands of Jackson colonials rose during the farmland building boom, most wearing entry-level builder shingles — and those roofs are hitting 20–25 years old right now. That’s why tear-offs are moving street by street through the developments off County Line Road and Jackson Mills Road. Granule piles in the gutters and blown tabs after every storm mean yours is on the same clock; see where your house lands in our NJ replacement cost guide, then get the exact number.
Two guys whose names are on it
Paragon is run by its partners: Joe Ballaccomo, with 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. This is the crew that ran 30 roofs in 30 days in May 2026 without changing the spec — and every Jackson project gets drone documentation so you see exactly what we built. Financing turns the project into a monthly payment, and if you’re honestly not sure the roof is done yet, start with a Jackson roof repair assessment instead. Everything else we do in town lives on our Jackson service page.
