Berkeley Township roofing, from the pines to the ocean
Paragon Exteriors is a family-run, licensed roofing and exteriors contractor (NJ HIC #13VH13814500) working across all of Berkeley Township — Bayville along Route 9, the Holiday City and Silver Ridge Park adult communities, the lagoon streets of Berkeley Shores and Glen Cove, and South Seaside Park out on the barrier island. Most roof replacements finish in a single day, estimates are free and itemized, and financing is available. Call 848-633-6440.
Few towns in New Jersey stretch from pineland to open ocean the way Berkeley does. The same township that contains Double Trouble State Park also contains most of Island Beach State Park — and a roof in each place lives a completely different life. We spec accordingly instead of quoting one roof for every address.
The 55+ capital of Ocean County
Berkeley Township holds one of the largest concentrations of adult communities in the state: Holiday City–Berkeley, Holiday City South, and Silver Ridge Park together account for thousands of single-story ranches built between the 1960s and 1980s. Most sit at 12–16 squares with walkable pitches — which is exactly why they replace fast and price well below the county average. It’s also why so many of them are overdue: a lot of these roofs are original or on a 25-year-old second layer.
If you’re on a fixed income, two things matter here. First, the number: our quotes are itemized line by line, so you’re comparing real scope, not a lump sum. Second, financing can turn the project into a flat monthly payment — the full picture is in our roof financing guide. During our 30-roofs-in-30-days push, adult-community ranches like these were the homes we proved the one-day process on, and we document every project by drone so you can see the finished roof without climbing a ladder.
What replacements actually run, section by section

| Holiday City / Silver Ridge Park | 1960s–80s single-story ranch | $7,000–$11,000 |
| Bayville off Route 9 | 1970s–90s colonials and capes | $9,000–$15,000 |
| Berkeley Shores / Glen Cove | Lagoon-front ranches and raised homes | $10,000–$16,000 |
| South Seaside Park | Barrier island, full coastal spec | $12,000–$18,000+ |

What the weather does here — and where
- Lagoon communities (Berkeley Shores, Glen Cove): east wind travels the full open width of Barnegat Bay before it hits your gable end. Wind-lifted shingles and driven rain at ridge caps are the repeat offenders — we install 130 mph-rated architectural shingles with six-nail fastening and sealed edges as standard, not as an upgrade. More on the why: coastal roofing and nor’easter protection.
- South Seaside Park: ocean on one side, bay on the other, nothing to slow a nor’easter down. This is the harshest exposure in the township and we spec it like barrier-island property everywhere — upgraded edge metal, enhanced starter courses, corrosion-resistant fasteners.
- West of the Parkway (Pinewald, the Double Trouble side): salt matters less, trees matter more. Pine needles pack gutters into dams, and shaded north slopes grow moss that shortens shingle life. An annual gutter clean and a repair-level tune-up prevent most of the leaks we see out here.
Beyond the roof
Berkeley homeowners also call us for siding that won’t chalk out in salt air, window replacements to tighten up drafty 1970s openings in Holiday City, and storm damage documentation and insurance help after a blow off the bay — including drone photos your adjuster can’t argue with.
Nearby
We work the whole corridor around Berkeley: Toms River to the north, Beachwood at the northern boundary, Lacey Township to the south, and Seaside Heights up the barrier island — often on the same route the same week.
