A roof replacement in Sea Girt typically runs $10,000–$25,000 for architectural asphalt and finishes in a single day, with the borough permit handled for you. The spread is wide because Sea Girt roofs are: a mid-century ranch in Sea Girt Estates and a turreted 1905 cottage on the oceanfront are two different jobs. What doesn’t change is the spec — every roof here gets built for direct Atlantic exposure, because there’s no barrier island to take the hit first.
The Sea Girt spec, line by line
Full tear-off to the deck — no layovers hiding soft plywood, standard on the older Blvd cottages
Deck inspection and rot replacement on the spot; salt air and old skylights leave more punky sheathing here than inland
Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, and every penetration — the wind-driven rain of a nor’easter climbs where felt won’t hold
Synthetic underlayment across the full deck
130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles, six nails each, sealed starter and ridge
Corrosion-resistant fasteners and new flashing at chimneys, turret transitions, and sidewalls — reusing tired flashing is where oceanfront leaks start
Ridge venting matched to your intake so summer attic heat doesn’t cook the shingles from below
Magnetic sweep and same-day haul-away — no dumpster parked through your weekend
How the day runs
Crew arrives early, tears off, and we photograph the bare deck so you see exactly what you’re paying to fix — nothing buried. Decking gets repaired, the waterproofing layers go down, shingles go on to coastal fastening, and we film the finished roof by drone. On a three-story Ocean Avenue home that drone pass is the only way you actually lay eyes on your new roof. Permit inspections we schedule and meet ourselves.

Cedar is part of this streetscape, so if a shake or shake-profile roof is what your house wants, we’ll price it straight and tell you when the money’s better spent elsewhere; more on that in the best shingles for the Jersey Shore. Financing turns five figures into a monthly number. See how the whole process works on our roof replacement page, what else we do across town on the Sea Girt service hub, and if you’re not sure you need a full tear-off, we also do honest roof repair in Sea Girt.

Most Sea Girt architectural-asphalt replacements run $10,000–$25,000. A straightforward Sea Girt Estates ranch west of Route 71 lands near the bottom; a steep-pitched shingle-style cottage on Baltimore or Washington Boulevard — turrets, dormers, multiple valleys — sits at the top. Cedar shake or synthetic shake runs two to three times asphalt. Every number is itemized in a free estimate.
Who handles the Sea Girt re-roofing permit?
We do. Re-roofing requires a construction permit through the Borough Construction Office at Borough Hall on Baltimore Boulevard, and rough/final inspections after. Paragon files the paperwork and coordinates the inspector on every job, so you never make that trip or wait on a callback.
How do you build a roof for direct oceanfront exposure?
Sea Girt has no barrier island in front of it, so coastal spec is our default: 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles, six-nail fastening, sealed starter and ridge, and corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing. On Ocean Avenue and the east ends of the Blvds we upgrade edge metal too, because salt spray finds the cheapest fastener first.
Can you replace an occupied summer-rental roof between bookings?
Yes. Plenty of Sea Girt homes turn over weekly in season, and a full tear-off and reinstall is usually a single day. We schedule around your changeover, tarp nightly if a rare second day is needed, and run a magnetic nail sweep of the drive and lawn before the next guests pull in.
