Your roof stops being a worry. No more anxious nights during storms wondering if water’s getting in. No more surprise repair bills every few years. No more watching your energy costs spike every summer.
Metal roofing reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your home cooler and your air conditioning bills lower. While your neighbors replace their roofs every 20 years, you’re done for decades.
That’s the difference between buying a roof and investing in one. You get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is protected by materials designed to outlast everything Long Island weather can throw at it.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc isn’t just another roofing company. We’re a family legacy built on decades of exterior renovation experience right here in Suffolk County.
When you live on Long Island, you understand weather. The coastal storms, the ice dams, the summer heat that makes your AC work overtime. We’ve been protecting Commack homes through all of it, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern roofing technology.
Our reputation speaks for itself through consistently glowing reviews from neighbors who’ve experienced our commitment to quality firsthand. Projects completed on time, within budget, with the kind of customer service that keeps homeowners recommending us to friends and family.
The process starts with a thorough assessment of your current roof and your home’s specific needs. Our team evaluates everything from your roof’s pitch and size to local building requirements, ensuring every detail is planned before work begins.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days for most Commack homes, depending on size and complexity. In many cases, metal roofing can be installed directly over existing shingles, eliminating tear-off costs and reducing project time.
Throughout the process, you’ll receive transparent communication and regular updates. We handle all permits and ensure compliance with local building codes. After installation, we conduct a comprehensive review to ensure everything meets our high standards, walking you through the completed work and answering any questions you might have.

Metal roofing isn’t just about durability – it’s engineered specifically for the challenges Long Island homeowners face. The reflective properties significantly reduce cooling costs during those sweltering summer months when your AC is working overtime.
Long Island’s coastal location means dealing with everything from nor’easters to ice dams. Metal roofing systems excel in these conditions, with interlocking panels that resist wind uplift and smooth surfaces that shed snow and ice effectively. Unlike asphalt shingles that deteriorate under freeze-thaw cycles, metal maintains its integrity year after year.
The investment makes financial sense too. While the upfront cost is higher than traditional materials, the 40-70 year lifespan means you’re likely done with roof replacements for life. Add in the energy savings, minimal maintenance requirements, and increased home value, and metal roofing often pays for itself over time.
Metal roofing typically costs $10-16 per square foot installed, compared to $5-9 for asphalt shingles. For an average Commack home, you’re looking at roughly 2-3 times the initial investment.
However, the math changes when you factor in longevity and energy savings. Asphalt shingles last 20-25 years in Long Island’s climate, meaning you’ll likely replace them 2-3 times during the lifespan of one metal roof. Metal roofing also reduces cooling costs by reflecting solar heat, providing ongoing savings that help offset the initial investment over time.
Metal roofing is specifically engineered to excel in challenging weather conditions like those we experience on Long Island. The interlocking panel design resists wind uplift during storms and nor’easters, while the smooth surface effectively sheds snow and ice, preventing the ice dams that plague many traditional roofs.
Unlike asphalt shingles that can crack, curl, or blow off during severe weather, metal roofing maintains its integrity through freeze-thaw cycles, coastal storms, and extreme temperature swings. Many metal roofing systems are tested to withstand winds over 120 mph and carry impact ratings that exceed industry standards for hail resistance.
Most metal roof installations in Commack are completed within 1-2 days for average-sized homes, depending on roof complexity and weather conditions. The timeline can vary based on factors like roof pitch, the number of penetrations (chimneys, skylights, vents), and whether a full tear-off is required.
In many cases, metal roofing can be installed directly over existing asphalt shingles, which eliminates tear-off time and reduces the project timeline. This approach also minimizes disruption to your daily routine and reduces disposal costs. Weather permitting, most homeowners are surprised at how quickly the transformation happens.
One of metal roofing’s biggest advantages is its minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike asphalt shingles that need regular inspection and replacement, metal roofs typically require only basic upkeep to maintain their performance and appearance.
Annual maintenance involves checking for loose fasteners, ensuring proper sealing around vents and chimneys, and removing debris that might accumulate in valleys or gutters. Occasional cleaning helps maintain the roof’s appearance, and inspecting for scratches or chips in the paint coating helps prevent any potential rust issues. Most metal roofing systems come with 30-year warranties on their coating systems, providing additional peace of mind.
Modern metal roofing installation includes proper underlayment and insulation that significantly reduces noise transmission. When properly installed over solid decking with appropriate underlayment, metal roofs are not noticeably louder than other roofing materials during rain or storms.
The noise concern often comes from older metal roofing installations or commercial applications where metal was installed directly over open framing. Residential metal roofing installed over solid decking with quality underlayment creates a barrier that dampens sound transmission. Many homeowners report being pleasantly surprised that their metal roof is actually quieter than expected during weather events.
The ideal time for metal roof replacement is before your current roof fails completely. If your asphalt shingle roof is approaching 20-25 years old, showing signs of granule loss, curling, or frequent repair needs, it’s time to consider replacement rather than continued repairs.
Other indicators include cracked or missing shingles, visible light through roof boards, sagging areas, or excessive granules in your gutters. In Commack’s climate, roofs face significant stress from freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, and coastal storms. Replacing before major problems develop saves money on potential water damage repairs and allows you to choose your timing rather than dealing with emergency situations during severe weather.
