A roof replacement in Neptune, NJ typically costs $8,500 to $17,000 and, on most homes west of Route 18, is finished in a single day. Paragon Exteriors does a full tear-off to the deck — never a layover — then rebuilds with ice & water shield, synthetic underlayment, and 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles fastened for the salt-and-wind punishment Neptune roofs actually take. We are licensed (NJ HIC #13VH13814500), fully insured, and the estimate is free and itemized.
Neptune is really three roofing markets stacked in one township, and a replacement is planned differently in each.
Spec by section
Section
What we account for
Ocean Grove
Steep Victorian cross-gables, turrets, hand tear-off, historic-district review, direct salt spray
Shark River Hills
Sustained river wind, layered old shingles, low-slope porch and addition roofs
Midtown & The Gables
Original plank decking, tired chimney flashing, under-vented attics
Hamilton / Jumping Brook
Postwar ranches and splits — clean one-day replacements on their first re-roof
How the day runs
Tear-off to bare deck, with same-day debris haul-away — no dumpster parked on your street for a week.
Deck inspection — soft or rotten plank/plywood swapped on the spot, common on the older Midtown two-stories.
Waterproofing — ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, run generously on low-slope bungalow porch roofs where wind-driven rain climbs uphill.
Shingles & metal — new drip edge, new chimney and wall flashing (we never reuse tired flashing), coastal-spec fastening.
Ventilation — ridge venting matched to your intake so summer attic heat doesn’t cook the new shingles from below.
Cleanup — magnetic nail sweep of lawn and driveway, warranty registered for you, drone photos of the finished roof.
Why Neptune homeowners pick Paragon
We work this township weekly — from Ocean Grove’s National Historic District to the ranch blocks near Jersey Shore University Medical Center — so the permit office knows our paperwork arrives complete and our crews know how to stage on a lot that’s inches from the neighbor’s porch. Financing turns a five-figure roof into a monthly payment, and our guide to nor’easter-ready coastal roofing explains the spec we build to.
“From the initial meeting with Joe and Frank, all the way through the completion of our new roof and chimney cap, the process was seamless. Their team is professional, showed up when they said, delivered on all deadlines and the clean up was impeccable. The workmanship and warranty far exceeded anything we were offered by the other roofing companies.”

Most Neptune tear-off replacements run $8,500–$17,000. A postwar ranch off Jumping Brook Road often lands near $9,000; an Ocean Grove Victorian with turrets, dormers, and historic-district detail can push past $16,000 because of the steep, cut-up roofline and hand tear-off. Your Paragon estimate is free and itemized, so the number is exact — not a ballpark.
Do you handle the Neptune Township permit and Ocean Grove HPC review?
Yes. We pull the construction permit through the Neptune Township office at the municipal complex on Neptune Boulevard, and for street-visible work in the Ocean Grove historic district we prepare the Historic Preservation Commission submission too. You do not chase paperwork or schedule inspections — that is our job.
What shingles do you install on Neptune homes near the ocean?
East of Route 35 and anywhere with Shark River or Atlantic exposure, we default to 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles, six-nail fastening, sealed edge detail, and stainless or hot-dipped flashing that salt air will not corrode. Cheap electro-galvanized nails are exactly what fails first on the oceanfront blocks.
Can you replace my Neptune roof in one day?
Most straightforward ranches, capes, and splits west of Route 18 are torn off and re-shingled in a single day. Steep Ocean Grove Victorians and tight-lot homes with staging challenges sometimes run two days — we tell you which yours is at the estimate, not mid-project.
