You sleep better during storms. No more worrying about wind damage, hail, or that next big hurricane that’s bound to hit Suffolk County. Your energy bills drop because metal reflects heat instead of absorbing it like asphalt shingles.
Your neighbors ask questions when they see how your roof still looks new after years of weather while theirs need constant repairs. You’re not calling contractors every few years for patches and fixes.
The best part? You made this investment once. While others replace their roofs twice, you’re still covered by the same metal roof that’s built to last 50+ years.
SkyLuxe Construction has been protecting Bay Shore homes for years. We understand what Long Island weather does to roofs because we’ve seen it firsthand through countless storms and hurricanes.
This isn’t some fly-by-night operation. We’re a family-owned business that’s built our reputation one roof at a time in Suffolk County. When your neighbors need exterior work done right, SkyLuxe is who they call.
We know which metal roofing systems perform best against the wind patterns that come off the Great South Bay. We know local building codes. Most importantly, we know the difference between doing a job and doing it right.
First, we inspect your current roof and explain exactly what needs to happen. No surprises, no hidden problems discovered halfway through. You get a clear picture of the timeline and cost upfront.
Next comes the full tear-off. We remove your old roofing material completely because putting new over old is asking for trouble down the road. Every piece of damaged decking gets replaced so your new metal roof has a solid foundation.
Then we install your metal roofing system using proper fastening techniques designed for Long Island’s wind loads. Standing seam panels get mechanically seamed for maximum weather resistance. Every detail gets attention because that’s what separates a roof that lasts from one that fails.
Final inspection ensures everything meets our standards before we clean up and leave your property better than we found it.

Your metal roofing project includes complete tear-off and disposal of existing materials. No shortcuts. We remove everything down to the deck so problems don’t hide underneath your investment.
You get proper underlayment and ice-and-water shield installation. This matters in Bay Shore because nor’easters bring driving rain that finds every weak spot. The underlayment is your backup protection when weather gets extreme.
All flashing gets replaced with matching metal. Chimneys, vents, skylights – every penetration gets properly sealed and flashed. This is where most roof leaks start, so we pay extra attention to these critical areas.
Your new metal roof comes with manufacturer warranties on materials plus our workmanship guarantee. We stand behind our installation because we know it’s done right the first time.
A properly installed metal roof in Bay Shore will last 50+ years, often outlasting the house itself. Metal roofing is specifically engineered to handle Long Island’s weather extremes – from hurricane-force winds to heavy snow loads and everything in between.
The key is professional installation. When metal roofing is installed correctly with proper fastening and flashing, it becomes virtually maintenance-free. You might need to clean gutters, but the roof itself requires minimal upkeep compared to asphalt shingles that need regular replacement and repairs.
Compare that to asphalt shingles that typically need replacement every 20-25 years in this climate. Over the life of your home, metal roofing often costs less than multiple asphalt roof replacements while providing superior protection.
Metal roofing can withstand wind speeds up to 140+ mph when properly installed, while asphalt shingles start failing around 70-80 mph. During hurricanes and nor’easters that regularly hit Suffolk County, this difference can save your home from catastrophic damage.
Standing seam metal roofing has no exposed fasteners, which eliminates the most common failure point during high winds. The panels interlock mechanically, creating a continuous barrier that wind can’t get underneath and lift.
Hail resistance is another major advantage. Metal roofing typically carries Class 4 impact ratings, the highest available. When hail stones that would destroy asphalt shingles hit metal roofing, they bounce off with minimal or no damage. This means fewer insurance claims and better protection for your home’s interior.
Metal roofing typically costs 2-3 times more upfront than asphalt shingles, but the long-term value tells a different story. When you factor in the 50+ year lifespan versus 20-25 years for asphalt, metal roofing often costs less per year of protection.
Energy savings add up quickly too. Metal roofing reflects solar heat, reducing cooling costs by 10-25% during Bay Shore’s hot summers. Over decades, these savings offset much of the initial investment difference.
Insurance companies often offer discounts for metal roofing because it’s more resistant to storm damage, fire, and other claims. Some homeowners see immediate savings on their premiums that help justify the investment. The exact cost depends on your roof size, complexity, and metal type chosen, which is why getting a detailed estimate is important.
While it’s technically possible to install metal roofing over existing shingles, it’s not recommended and we don’t do overlay installations. Here’s why: you can’t inspect the roof deck for damage, trapped moisture can cause rot, and building codes often require complete removal.
Complete tear-off allows inspection of the entire roof structure. Hidden damage from leaks, ice dams, or storm damage gets discovered and repaired before your new metal roof goes on. This prevents future problems that could void warranties or cause expensive repairs.
Proper installation requires a clean, solid surface. When metal roofing is installed over a properly prepared deck with appropriate underlayment, it performs exactly as designed. Taking shortcuts on preparation compromises the entire system and isn’t worth the risk on such a significant investment.
Standing seam steel roofing performs best in Bay Shore’s coastal climate. The mechanical seaming creates watertight connections that handle driving rain from nor’easters and hurricanes. Steel provides the best combination of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness for residential applications.
Aluminum is another excellent choice, especially for coastal properties. It naturally resists corrosion from salt air and never rusts. While more expensive than steel, aluminum offers superior longevity in marine environments like areas near the Great South Bay.
Copper is the premium option that develops a natural patina over time. It’s extremely durable and adds significant aesthetic value, but costs considerably more than steel or aluminum. The choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and how close you are to salt water exposure.
Age is the biggest factor. If your asphalt shingle roof is over 20 years old in Bay Shore’s climate, replacement should be on your radar. Multiple missing or damaged shingles after storms, granule loss, and frequent leaks all indicate it’s time for replacement.
Look for daylight coming through the roof boards in your attic, water stains on ceilings, or sagging areas. These signs mean structural damage has occurred and repairs won’t solve the underlying problem. At this point, continuing to patch problems costs more than replacement while leaving your home vulnerable.
Energy bills that keep climbing despite no changes in usage often indicate your roof’s insulation and ventilation systems are compromised. A new metal roof installation includes updated ventilation and proper insulation, which can significantly reduce energy costs while improving comfort.
