Imagine never worrying about your roof again. That’s what happens when you choose metal roofing that’s built to handle Long Island’s toughest weather.
Your energy bills drop because metal reflects heat instead of absorbing it. No more sweltering summers where your AC works overtime. Your home stays cooler naturally, and you pocket the savings month after month.
Storm season becomes less stressful. While your neighbors deal with damaged shingles and emergency repairs, your metal roof sheds rain, deflects hail, and stands firm against winds that would strip other roofing materials. You get real peace of mind knowing your biggest investment is protected.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another roofing company. We’re a family business that’s been perfecting exterior renovations in Suffolk County for decades.
Every project gets personal oversight because our family name is on every roof we install. We combine old-school craftsmanship with modern metal roofing technology, so you get the best of both worlds.
Centerport homeowners choose us because we understand Long Island weather. We’ve seen what nor’easters and summer storms can do to roofs, and we build accordingly. When you work with us, you’re working with contractors who live here, work here, and stand behind every installation with the pride that comes from generational expertise.
First, we inspect your existing roof and discuss your goals. No high-pressure sales tactics – just honest assessment of what your home needs and what metal roofing can deliver.
Next comes the tear-off if you’re replacing an existing roof. We handle the disposal and protect your property throughout the process. Our team installs proper underlayment and insulation to ensure your metal roof performs at its peak.
Installation happens systematically, with each panel properly fastened and sealed. We pay special attention to flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof transitions – the areas where most roof problems start. The final step includes cleanup and a thorough walkthrough so you understand your new roofing system and its warranty coverage.

Metal roofing makes perfect sense for Long Island homes. Our coastal climate means your roof faces salt air, driving rain, and temperature swings that destroy lesser materials.
Standing seam metal roofing systems we install can last 50-70 years with minimal maintenance. Compare that to asphalt shingles that need replacement every 15-20 years, and the math becomes clear. You’re not just buying a roof – you’re making the last roofing investment your home will need.
Energy efficiency matters more each year as utility costs climb. Metal roofing reflects up to 70% of solar heat, keeping your home cooler and reducing AC costs. Many Centerport homeowners see noticeable drops in their summer electric bills within the first year. Plus, metal roofing qualifies for energy efficiency rebates and can increase your home’s resale value significantly.
Metal roofing costs vary based on your home’s size, roof complexity, and material choice, but most Centerport homeowners invest between $12,000-$25,000 for a complete metal roof replacement. While this represents a higher upfront cost than asphalt shingles, the long-term value makes metal roofing the smarter investment.
Consider this: asphalt shingles might cost $8,000-$12,000 initially, but you’ll replace them 2-3 times over the lifespan of one metal roof. Factor in energy savings from metal roofing’s reflective properties, and the total cost of ownership heavily favors metal.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find that financing options make metal roofing affordable while delivering immediate benefits in energy efficiency and storm protection.
Properly installed metal roofing with adequate insulation and underlayment is no louder than other roofing materials during rain or storms. This is one of the biggest myths about metal roofing that keeps homeowners from choosing the best option for their homes.
The key is professional installation with quality underlayment and proper attic insulation. These components absorb sound and create a barrier that eliminates the “drumming” effect people associate with metal roofing. In fact, many of our Centerport customers report their homes are quieter after metal roof installation because we improve the overall roof system during the process.
Modern metal roofing systems include sound-dampening features that weren’t available decades ago. When you combine proper installation techniques with quality materials, you get superior weather protection without noise concerns. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your roof can handle anything Long Island weather delivers far outweighs any perceived noise issues.
Metal roofing lasts 50-70 years with proper maintenance, while asphalt shingles typically need replacement every 15-25 years. This longevity difference makes metal roofing the clear winner for homeowners who want to invest once and be done with roofing concerns.
Long Island’s climate is particularly hard on asphalt shingles. Salt air, UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and severe storms all contribute to premature shingle failure. Metal roofing handles these conditions without degradation, maintaining its protective qualities and appearance for decades.
The warranty coverage reflects this durability difference. Most metal roofing comes with 30-50 year material warranties, while asphalt shingles rarely exceed 25-year coverage. When you factor in the reduced maintenance requirements and energy savings over time, metal roofing delivers value that compounds year after year. Many of our customers tell us their metal roof is the best home improvement investment they’ve ever made.
While it’s technically possible to install metal roofing over existing shingles in some cases, we recommend complete tear-off and replacement for optimal performance and longevity. Installing over old shingles might save money upfront, but it can create problems that cost more in the long run.
Leaving old shingles creates a moisture barrier that can trap condensation and lead to mold, rot, and structural issues. Additionally, you can’t properly inspect the roof deck for damage or ensure adequate ventilation when working over existing materials. For Suffolk County homes that face harsh coastal weather, a complete tear-off ensures your metal roof system starts with a solid foundation.
The tear-off process also allows us to upgrade your roof’s insulation and ventilation, maximizing the energy efficiency benefits of metal roofing. While this adds to the initial investment, most homeowners find the improved performance and peace of mind worth the extra cost. We handle all disposal and cleanup, so the process is hassle-free for you.
Galvalume steel and aluminum are the top choices for Long Island metal roofing because they handle our coastal climate exceptionally well. Both materials resist corrosion from salt air while providing excellent durability and energy efficiency.
Galvalume steel offers the best strength-to-cost ratio and performs excellently in our climate with proper coating systems. It’s our most popular choice for Centerport homeowners because it delivers premium performance at a reasonable price point. The material handles thermal expansion well and maintains its protective coating even in harsh conditions.
Aluminum works particularly well for homes very close to the water where salt exposure is highest. It’s naturally corrosion-resistant and lightweight, which reduces structural stress. While aluminum costs more initially, it requires virtually no maintenance and delivers exceptional longevity. We help you choose the right material based on your home’s location, budget, and performance priorities.
Metal roofing typically increases home value by 1-6% and provides strong return on investment when you sell. Centerport buyers increasingly recognize the benefits of metal roofing, especially as energy costs rise and climate concerns grow.
Real estate professionals report that homes with metal roofing sell faster and often at higher prices than comparable homes with asphalt shingles. Buyers appreciate knowing they won’t face roofing replacement costs for decades, and the energy efficiency appeals to cost-conscious purchasers.
The value increase goes beyond just the roofing system itself. Metal roofing signals that the home has been well-maintained and upgraded with quality materials. Insurance companies often provide discounts for metal roofing due to its superior storm resistance, which adds to the overall value proposition. When you combine immediate energy savings, long-term durability, and increased resale value, metal roofing represents one of the smartest home improvement investments you can make.
