A new Waretown roof: the price, the permit, the timeline
A full tear-off roof replacement in Waretown, NJ typically costs $7,500–$15,000, and Paragon Exteriors finishes most of them in a single day. We file the permit with the Ocean Township construction office at the Waretown municipal complex, install 130 mph wind-rated shingles as standard on bay-facing homes, and put a free itemized estimate in your hand before anything gets scheduled. Licensed and insured — NJ HIC #13VH13814500, 848-633-6440.
One town, two spec sheets
Route 9 splits Waretown’s weather in half: open Barnegat Bay to the east, pitch pines out toward Wells Mills to the west. Every replacement gets the same foundation — full tear-off, deck inspection, ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and flashing — then the spec follows your address:
| Bayside — Skippers Cove, Sands Point Harbor | Pines side — Brookville, off Route 532 | |
|---|---|---|
| Shingle | 130 mph wind-rated architectural | Algae-resistant architectural |
| Fastening | Six nails per shingle, hand-sealed starter and rake courses | Six-nail pattern, standard sealing |
| Metal | Corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners against salt air | Standard flashing, gutters planned for needle loads |
| Enemy | Open-water gusts and wind-driven rain | Shade, moss, and attic heat under tree cover |
The Route 9 village capes near Waretown Lake are the wildcard — the oldest roofs in town, often layered, sometimes soft underneath. Bad plywood gets swapped on the spot at the per-sheet price already printed in your quote, so tear-off day never turns into a renegotiation.
The Greenbriar clock is running
Roughly 1,400 Greenbriar Oceanaire homes went up in the 2000s, which puts the original builder shingles at or past the 20-year mark right now — here’s how long roofs really last in NJ. Our process fits the community: cars out by 7 AM, tear-off and deck repair in the morning, dried-in by lunch, shingles through the afternoon, magnetic nail sweep before dinner — and no dumpster parked on your street overnight. When it’s done we fly the drone and send you the photos, so nobody climbs a ladder to verify the work.
The people on your roof
Paragon is family-run by Joe Ballaccomo (15+ years in roofing and home improvement) and Franchi Vacchiano (roughly 40 years in construction, foreman on builds as big as the Borgata in Atlantic City). Financing turns the project into a flat monthly number — a real consideration on a fixed income — and if your roof honestly has years left in it, we’ll say so and quote a repair instead. The full tear-off process lives on the roof replacement page, and everything else we do in town is on the Waretown hub.
