Priced street by street, not by square-footage guess
A full tear-off roof replacement in Lacey Township costs $7,500–$15,000 for most homes — Sea Breeze at Lacey ranches and Route 9 capes at the low end, lagoon-front homes in Forked River Beach and Sunrise Beach built to full coastal wind spec at the top. Paragon Exteriors (NJ HIC #13VH13814500) finishes most Lacey roofs in one day, files the township permit for you, and every estimate is free and itemized. Call 848-633-6440.
Here’s where the numbers typically land on the roofs we actually work here:
| Where you live | What’s up there | Typical replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Sea Breeze at Lacey | mid-2000s single-story ranches, builder-grade shingles | $7,500–$10,000 |
| Route 9 corridor — Forked River & Lanoka Harbor | 1960s–80s capes and ranches, often on a second or third roof | $8,500–$13,000 |
| Forked River Beach & Sunrise Beach | 1960s–70s lagoon homes, full 130 mph coastal spec | $10,000–$15,000+ |
| Bamber Lake & west of the Parkway | mixed-era pinelands homes under heavy tree cover | $8,000–$13,000 |
What moves your number is pitch, layers to tear off, deck condition, and wind spec — the NJ roof cost guide breaks down every line item.
The spec changes east of Route 9
A northeast blow crosses miles of open Barnegat Bay before it reaches a lagoon roofline, so on Forked River Beach and Sunrise Beach we install 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles with six nails per shingle, hand-sealed starter and rake courses, and corrosion-resistant fasteners that shrug off salt air. West of the Parkway the threat flips: standard architectural shingles hold fine toward Bamber Lake, but we pay extra attention to ridge ventilation and clean drip-edge detail, because pine litter and trapped moisture kill those roofs long before wind does.
Permit, tear-off, dinner
We file the re-roof permit with the Lacey Township Building Department on West Lacey Road before a shingle moves. Install day starts around 7 AM with full tear-off — never a layover — and a real deck inspection. Houses from the Oyster Creek boom of the ’60s and ’70s often hide soft plywood under old layers; we swap bad sheets on the spot at the per-sheet price already printed in your quote. Then ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and flashing, shingles to the spec above, ridge venting matched to your attic — and a magnetic nail sweep before we leave. You get drone photos of the finished roof, not a “trust us” from the driveway.
The crew you’re actually hiring
Paragon is family-run by two partners: Joe Ballaccomo, with 15+ years in roofing and home improvement, and Franchi Vacchiano, with roughly 40 years in construction including foreman work on builds as big as the Borgata in Atlantic City. The one-day process is the same one we ran through our 30-roofs-in-30-days push in May 2026 — the pace never changed the spec. Financing turns the project into a flat monthly payment, and if your roof honestly has years left, we’ll say so and point you to a repair instead. Everything else we do in town lives on the Lacey Township hub, and the full tear-off process is on the roof replacement page.
