We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Paragon Exteriors! They recently replaced our roof and gutters, and the results are outstanding—truly professional workmanship that has transformed the appearance of our home. Jake's communication throughout the project was exemplary. He was always available to address our questions and concerns, which gave us great peace of mind. His crew was equally impressive, completing the job with precision and leaving our property immaculate after the work was done. We wholeheartedly recommend Paragon Exteriors to anyone seeking top-notch roofing and exterior services. Thank you, Paragon Exteriors, for a job well done!

I have been very impressed and extremely satisfied with Paragon Exteriors and Jake Gast the owner. I had three quotes to do my roof in 2022. Jake and Paragon was the only company that said I could get by for awhile if I had a small caulking job done, which would give me some additional time to better budget for the re-roof job. Jake caulked the potential leak area at no charge and said to give him a call when I was ready to move forward. Paragon's quote was the best of the three that I received. I also liked the product and warranty that was offered. Fast forward (2 years later) to 2024, I gave Jake a call and told him I was ready to proceed. The Paragon team showed up at my home on the scheduled day, immediately got to work and did an excellent job protecting my house and property while doing the tear off of the old shingles. They were hard working, efficient, courteous and did an awesome job of installing the new roof and cleaning up on a relatively windy day. They worked till the sun went down and I couldn't believe that they finished the entire job in one day. The new roof looks great and I am extremely happy with the job that was done, and I highly recommend Jake and Paragon.

Paragon was great to work with start to finish! They came out to review our roof after a hail storm. Jake helped me work with our insurance to make sure the claim was complete. They were able to replace our roof less than 1 Month after our claim approval. The crew that came to work was great! The yard was cleaner after they left vs before the work was completed. Everyone was very professional. The entire process went smooth. In the end our roof looks amazing and we got some cool drone pictures of our house to save!!

It was a pleasure doing business with Paragon Exteriors. The company made our unfortunate situation much less stressful. From the first phone call that I made to see about having someone come to give us an estimate, to the last phone call when I wanted to thank them, they have been wonderful. First of all, I always spoke to a person, and any concerns were addressed immediately. Second, they always showed up on time for appointments and when work was scheduled to start. Third, their professional opinion on color selection was amazing. We've received many compliments on our new roof, and that's thanks to Tim. A special shout-out to Tim Montgomery. He was extremely helpful every step of the way. He not only helped us with the selection process, but he also helped us navigate through the insurance process. Lastly, the crew that put on the roof and gutters were prompt, professional, courteous, and left the outside in immaculate condition. I highly recommend Paragon Exteriors and thank them for a job well done.

Paragon Exteriors LLC Logo

What's It Cost For Roof Replacement in Waukesha?  Well, that's a difficult question to answer without knowing the specifics about your home.  The size of your home, the pitch of the roof, the specific roofing materials, complexity, and extra add-ons, all contribute to the price of a new roof.  This will guide will hopefully explain the cost variables a little better.

Our Price Match Guarantee:  With Paragon Exteriors LLC you can have the peace of mind knowing that you're never going to overpay for your roof replacement in Waukesha.  We will match ANY roofing quote from any other licensed, insured, and factory certified roofing contractor.  In order for a roof to be factory certified it must be installed to meet specific standards.  ALL of our roof replacements meet or exceed manufacturers specifications so you can qualify for the full warranty.  If the roofing shingles and installation are the same, why on earth would you want to pay more?  With our price match guarantee you can have confidence knowing you've got an excellent deal on your roof replacement in Waukesha.

Shingle Tear-Off and Removal

Tear-Off & Disposal

Our first step is tearing off and disposing of your old roofing which is a big part of the project.  This allows to inspect and replace any rotted wood decking as necessary and lets us offer the full manufacturer 50 year non-prorated warranty.

Replacing Rotten Roof Decking During Roof Replacement Project

Roof Decking

After tearing off your old shingles the roof decking must be inspected.  In many cases, it's totally fine.  Sometimes, however there are sections of roof decking that will need to be replaced.  If your roof was leaking, your roof decking could be rotten.

Ice and Water Shield Installation During New Roof Replacement

Ice and Water Shield

Ice and water shield runs along the outer edges and valleys of your roof or anywhere the roof meets a wall.  This is an essential addition for your roof to protect against ice dams and wind driven rain.  Make sure your roofer is including this!

The Installation Of Synthetic Roof Underlayment On New Roof Replacement

Synthetic Underlayment

Otherwise known as roofing felt.  This important layer provides extra protection against leaks and wind driven rain from getting up underneath your shingles.  There are different types and qualities of underlayment.

The Installation Of Proper Roof Venting Ensures Your Roof Performance

Roof Venting

Proper venting is critical to any new roof installation as it prevents condensation from forming within your attic.  If your roof doesn't have adequate ventilation we can install more ventilation for you during the roof replacement.

Roof Flashing Installation

Flashing

Flashing is thin metal that is formed and installed to direct water away from critical areas of your roof.  Typically this is installed in valleys, walls, around chimneys, and vents.  Poorly installed or missing flashing is the cause of many roof leaks.

Roofing Shingles On Roof Waiting For Replacement

Shingles

Shingles are the final layer of your roof and they are the most expensive next to labor.  There are cheap options however we use what we know and trust which are most often Owens Corning Duration Architectural shingles.

Roof Pitch Can Affect The Price Of Your Roof Replacement Cost

Roof Pitch

If your roof is "walkable" it makes replacement easier.  When your roof has a very steep pitch (steep slope) it can require additional equipment and safety measures to complete properly, thus increasing the price sometimes substantially.

Hiring A Certified Roofing Contractor Means You Qualify For The Maximum Roof Warranty

Warranty

Not all roofing warranties are created equal!  Depending on the shingles you choose and how they are installed there may be additional charges to have your roof fully protected with a non-pro rated warranty.  Ask your roofer for details.

Labor Cost Is A Major Factor When Considering The Price Of Your New Roof Replacement

Labor

Labor is probably the biggest contributing factor to the cost of roof replacement in Waukesha.  We typically run a two to four man crew with our roofing projects.  Excellent craftsmanship is one of our hallmarks and we only employ the best!

Labor Cost Is A Major Factor When Considering The Price Of Your New Roof Replacement

Drip Edge

A drip edge is a metal flashing that is fastened to the outer edge of your roof (over ice and water shield) that prevents water from getting behind your gutters and fascia.  This is another critical component to a properly installed roof.

Insurance

If you're hiring a roofer to replace your roof then it's important they are properly insured.  We are properly licensed and insured in Wisconsin so you know that your property and our employees are always going to be protected.
