Built for how Old Bridge roofs actually fail
A roof replacement in Old Bridge, NJ from Paragon Exteriors is a full tear-off — never a layover — with the deck inspected, ice & water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, and architectural shingles fastened to spec. Typical replacements run $8,000–$16,000, most homes are finished in one day, and the Township permit is handled by us. We’re family-run and licensed (NJ HIC #13VH13814500), and 08857 sits at the top of our route straight up Route 9.
The spec, and why each layer is here
Old Bridge splits into two roofing climates, and we build for the one your house is in.
| Layer | What we install | Why it matters in Old Bridge |
|---|---|---|
| Deck | Rotten plywood or plank swapped on the spot | Third-cycle Madison Park and Sayre Woods South decks hide soft spots under old layovers |
| Eaves & valleys | Ice & water shield membrane | 1950s capes with half-story attics are textbook ice-dam roofs |
| Field | Synthetic underlayment + architectural shingles | Standard inland; upgraded fastening near the bay |
| Laurence Harbor | 130 mph wind-rated shingles, six-nail, sealed edge | Bayfront strip catches nor’easter wind off Raritan Bay with nothing to slow it |
| Attic | Ridge venting matched to intake | Under-vented postwar attics cook shingles from below and drive ice dams |
How the day runs
We tear off to the deck and haul the debris same-day — no dumpster parked on your driveway for a week. Bad plywood comes off, membrane and underlayment go down, then the shingles, flashing, and ridge vent. We finish with a magnetic sweep of the lawn and driveway, register your manufacturer warranty, and hand over drone photos of the finished roof — the same documentation behind our “30 roofs in 30 days” push.
