Roofing Neptune, from the boardwalk to Route 33
Paragon Exteriors is a family-run, licensed roofing and exteriors contractor (NJ HIC #13VH13814500) serving all of Neptune Township — roof replacement, roof repair, siding, windows, and gutters from the Victorian lanes of Ocean Grove to the ranch blocks west of Route 18. Most Neptune roofs are torn off and re-shingled in a single day, every estimate is free and itemized, and the number that answers is 848-633-6440.
Neptune isn’t one housing market — it’s at least three, and each one asks something different of a roofer.
One township, three very different roofs
| Section | Typical housing | What it means for your roof |
|---|---|---|
| Ocean Grove | 1870s–1900s Victorians on tight lots | Steep cross-gables and turrets, hand tear-offs, historic-district review, direct salt exposure |
| Shark River Hills | 1920s–50s bungalows and capes, many expanded | River wind, layered old shingles, low-slope porch and addition roofs that leak first |
| Midtown, The Gables, Bradley Park | Early-to-mid-1900s two-stories | Original plank decking, tired chimney flashing, attics that were never vented properly |
| Hamilton & Jumping Brook, west of Rt 18 | Postwar ranches, splits, newer developments | Straightforward one-day replacements — many now hitting their first re-roof cycle |
Ocean Grove: historic-district roofing done by the book
Ocean Grove was laid out in 1869 as a Methodist camp meeting, and its blocks of gingerbread Victorians are a National Historic District today. That changes how a re-roof works. Exterior changes visible from the street can require Historic Preservation Commission review on top of the township permit, rooflines are steep and cut up with dormers and turrets, and lots are so tight that staging often happens inches from the neighbor’s porch. We plan the material, the color, and the logistics around all of it — and we photograph the finished roof by drone, which on an Ocean Grove three-story is often the only way anyone will ever actually see the workmanship up there.
Two waterfronts, one weather problem
Neptune takes weather from two directions. The east end faces the open Atlantic: nor’easters drive rain sideways into Ocean Grove’s oceanfront blocks, and salt spray slowly eats bargain flashing and electro-galvanized nails. The north side wraps around the Shark River, where Shark River Hills homes catch sustained wind across open water. The fix isn’t exotic — it’s spec: 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles, six nails per shingle, stainless or hot-dipped fasteners near the water, and ice & water shield run generously at eaves and on those low-slope bungalow porch roofs where wind-driven rain gets pushed uphill. Our guide to nor’easter-ready coastal roofing covers the full checklist, and which shingles hold up at the Shore compares the brands we actually install.
What Neptune homeowners hire us for
- Roof replacement in Neptune — full tear-off, deck repair, and coastal-spec fastening, most homes done in one day
- Roof repair — wind-lifted shingles after storms, chimney and valley flashing leaks, porch-roof fixes on older bungalows
- Siding — replacing chalked, salt-worn vinyl and repairing storm-peeled sections
- Windows and doors — tightening up drafty pre-war and mid-century openings
- Gutters — sized and pitched for nor’easter rain volumes, not just average storms
- Storm damage — documentation, tarping, and help with the insurance claim before you spend out of pocket
Estimates are free and itemized, and financing can turn a full replacement into a monthly payment instead of a savings-account raid.
