IKO Dynasty Granite Black Roof Replacement in Paramus NJ

This Paramus home needed a full roof replacement - and once we stripped everything back, it was clear why. The old deck was worn through in spots, leftover underlayment was peeling away in chunks, and the existing ventilation setup wasn't doing the home any favors. This is what we're working with before a single new shingle goes down. It's not pretty, but it's honest - and it's exactly the kind of starting point that makes a proper tear-off and replacement so important.

We went with IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in Granite Black for this one. It's a premium shingle - dimensional, heavy, and built to handle what New Jersey throws at a roof. Rain, wind, ice, snow - the IKO Dynasty line is designed with all of it in mind. The Granite Black colorway gives the home a sharp, clean look that works really well against the white dormers and red brick exterior on this particular house.

The install included the full system - ice and water shield at the vulnerable areas, synthetic underlayment across the deck, new drip edge, updated flashing, and ridge ventilation. Every one of those components matters. Skip the ice and water shield and you're gambling on ice dams every winter. Skip proper ridge ventilation and you're shortening the life of the shingles from the inside out. We don't cut corners on any of it.

What you end up with is a roof that performs the way it should - from the deck up. The finished shingles lay flat and tight across every plane of this roof, including the dormer transitions, which are some of the trickier cuts on a job like this. The Granite Black color pulls the whole exterior together and gives the home serious curb appeal on top of everything else.
