Your roof stops being a worry when it’s built to outlast everything Long Island weather throws at it. Metal roofing means no more emergency calls during nor’easters, no more watching shingles blow off in summer storms, and no more dreading the next big repair bill.
Picture walking past your neighbors dealing with their third roof repair this decade while yours still looks like the day it was installed. That’s the difference between hoping your roof holds up and knowing it will. Metal roofing systems handle Suffolk County’s coastal storms, brutal summer heat, and winter ice loads without breaking a sweat.
You get energy savings that show up on every utility bill, a roof that actually improves your home’s value, and the peace of mind that comes from making one smart decision instead of dealing with endless maintenance headaches.
We’re not just another roofing company serving Bohemia. We’re Suffolk County locals who understand exactly what your roof faces living this close to the water, dealing with MacArthur Airport noise, and weathering Long Island’s unpredictable climate patterns.
We’ve spent decades perfecting metal roofing installations specifically for homes in Bohemia and surrounding Suffolk County areas. Our team knows which materials stand up to coastal salt air, how to properly insulate against both weather extremes and airport noise, and what it takes to get permits and inspections right the first time.
When you work with us, you’re working with contractors who live here, understand the local building codes, and have built relationships with suppliers who stock the right materials for Long Island conditions. That local knowledge translates into roofing systems that perform exactly as promised, year after year.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure, checking for any deck repairs needed before installation begins. This isn’t a quick walk-around—we’re looking at everything from ventilation adequacy to structural integrity to make sure your new metal roof has the foundation it needs.
Once we’ve addressed any underlying issues, the old roofing comes off completely. No shortcuts, no roofing over existing problems. We strip everything down to the deck, replace any damaged wood, and install proper underlayment designed specifically for metal roofing systems.
The metal roofing installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly, with proper fastening, sealing, and finishing details that ensure decades of leak-free performance. We handle all the detail work—flashing around chimneys and vents, proper ridge ventilation, and seamless integration with your existing gutters and downspouts. You get a complete roofing system, not just new materials slapped over old problems.

Metal roofing systems perform exceptionally well in Suffolk County’s coastal environment. The materials resist salt air corrosion, handle temperature swings from summer highs in the 80s to winter lows in the 20s, and shed snow and ice effectively during Long Island’s unpredictable winter storms.
Energy efficiency becomes a real advantage during those brutal summer months when air conditioning costs spike. Quality metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it like asphalt shingles, keeping your home cooler and reducing the load on your HVAC system. Many of our Bohemia customers see noticeable utility bill reductions within the first year.
The durability factor matters especially here in Suffolk County where coastal storms can turn into serious weather events. Metal roofing systems are engineered to handle wind loads well above what typical Long Island storms generate, and they won’t deteriorate from the freeze-thaw cycles that crack and damage traditional roofing materials. You’re investing in protection that matches the environment, not hoping standard materials will somehow hold up to above-average weather challenges.
Metal roofing typically costs 2-3 times more upfront than asphalt shingles, but the long-term value equation works completely differently. While asphalt shingles might need replacement every 15-20 years in Suffolk County’s harsh climate, quality metal roofing systems last 40-70 years with minimal maintenance.
When you factor in energy savings from reduced cooling costs, fewer repair calls, and avoiding multiple re-roofing projects over the decades, metal roofing often costs less per year of protection. Many of our Bohemia customers also see immediate home value increases that offset a significant portion of the initial investment.
The key is looking at total cost of ownership rather than just upfront price. Metal roofing eliminates the cycle of repairs, maintenance, and premature replacement that makes asphalt shingles expensive over time, especially in Long Island’s challenging weather conditions.
Modern metal roofing installations include proper underlayment and insulation that eliminate noise issues completely. The days of thin metal roofing installed directly over roof decking are long gone—today’s systems include sound-dampening layers that actually make metal roofs quieter than many asphalt installations.
In Bohemia, where ambient noise from MacArthur Airport is already a consideration, properly installed metal roofing with adequate insulation can actually improve your home’s overall sound control. The solid substrate and quality underlayment we use create better sound barriers than traditional roofing materials.
During installation, we pay special attention to insulation and ventilation details that ensure your new roof performs quietly regardless of weather conditions. Rain, hail, and wind won’t create the noise issues people sometimes associate with older metal roofing installations. You get weather protection without acoustic problems.
Metal roofing actually prevents most ice dam problems that plague traditional roofing in Suffolk County. The smooth surface allows snow and ice to shed naturally rather than building up along roof edges, and metal’s thermal properties help prevent the temperature differentials that create ice dams in the first place.
Unlike asphalt shingles that can trap water when ice dams form, metal roofing systems shed moisture effectively even when temperatures fluctuate around freezing. The materials don’t absorb water, crack from freeze-thaw cycles, or develop the weak spots where ice damage typically occurs.
Proper installation includes ventilation details that maintain consistent roof temperatures, further reducing ice dam formation. Combined with quality gutters and proper attic insulation, metal roofing systems handle Long Island winters without the maintenance headaches and potential damage that come with traditional roofing materials.
Quality metal roofing systems are engineered to handle wind loads well above what Suffolk County typically experiences, even during significant coastal storms. The materials and fastening systems we use are rated for sustained winds over 100 mph, with testing showing performance in much higher wind events.
Unlike asphalt shingles that can lift, tear, or blow off entirely during wind storms, metal roofing panels are mechanically fastened to the roof structure with concealed clips or screws that create secure attachment points. The interlocking design means individual panels support each other rather than creating weak spots where wind can grab and cause progressive damage.
We’ve installed metal roofing systems that have weathered multiple nor’easters and coastal storms without any wind damage, while neighboring homes with traditional roofing needed repairs or replacement. The engineering behind modern metal roofing specifically addresses the wind challenges that coastal areas like Bohemia face regularly.
Steel roofing offers superior durability and wind resistance, making it ideal for Suffolk County’s challenging weather conditions. It handles impact from hail, falling branches, and debris better than aluminum, and the heavier weight provides better wind uplift resistance during coastal storms.
Aluminum roofing costs more but offers excellent corrosion resistance in salt air environments, making it a good choice for homes very close to the water. Its lighter weight can be advantageous for older homes where structural capacity might be a consideration, and it reflects heat slightly better for energy efficiency.
For most Bohemia homes, steel roofing provides the best combination of performance, durability, and value. The modern coatings and galvanizing processes make corrosion resistance excellent, while the material properties handle Long Island’s weather extremes and potential impact damage more effectively than aluminum alternatives.
Most residential metal roofing installations in Bohemia take 2-5 days depending on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple ranch homes might be completed in 2-3 days, while larger colonials or homes with multiple roof lines, dormers, or complex details typically require 4-5 days.
The timeline includes complete tear-off of existing roofing, any necessary deck repairs, installation of proper underlayment, and full metal roofing system installation with all flashing and detail work. We don’t rush installations to hit artificial deadlines—proper installation details are critical for long-term performance.
Weather delays can extend timelines, especially during Suffolk County’s unpredictable spring and fall seasons. We protect your home with tarps and temporary coverings if weather interrupts the installation process, ensuring no water damage occurs while work is in progress. Quality installation takes priority over speed, because shortcuts create problems that last for decades.
