Roof replacement built for a Rumson roof
A full roof replacement in Rumson, NJ typically runs $12,000–$30,000 for architectural asphalt and more for designer, cedar, or synthetic-slate systems — because Rumson roofs are bigger and more complicated than the Shore average, and they take salt air from three directions. Paragon Exteriors tears off to the deck, rebuilds the flashing, and fastens to a coastal wind spec, and most asphalt roofs here are finished in a single day.

The Rumson spec, line by line
Half of what fails on a Rumson roof isn’t the shingle — it’s the metal underneath it. So we don’t quote a shingle field and wave at the rest:
- Full tear-off to the deck, no layovers hiding old damage
- Deck inspection with rotted plywood replaced before anything covers it
- Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, and every penetration
- Synthetic underlayment across the whole deck — not felt
- New flashing in coated or stainless at chimneys, walls, dormers, and every valley — the corrosion points on a peninsula home
- 130 mph architectural shingles, six-nail fastening, sealed starter and rake edges for wind-driven rain
On the Rumson Road and Bellevue Avenue estates — cedar, slate, turrets, chimney after chimney — the flashing and valley work is the whole job, and it’s where a cheap crew gets exposed from the street.
How the day runs
We file the Rumson Borough construction permit through Borough Hall on East River Road and schedule the inspections. Crew arrives early, tears off, and a dumpster or dump trailer stays off your lawn as much as the lot allows — tight Oceanic lots get staged materials instead. On estate-scale roofs we fly drone documentation before and after, so you can inspect every ridge and valley of the finished work from the ground. We close with a magnetic nail sweep and register your manufacturer warranty.
Why Rumson homeowners hire us
Franchi, one of our two partners, ran major construction for four decades — foreman and GC work up to the Borgata in Atlantic City — so a big, cut-up estate roof doesn’t rattle the crew. The estimate is free and itemized, financing turns a five-figure roof into a monthly payment, and if you’re weighing cedar against designer asphalt our Jersey Shore shingle guide lays out the wind-rating trade-offs.
