Your current roof probably needs attention every few years. Maybe it’s missing shingles after the last windstorm, or you’re dealing with another leak in the same spot. Metal roofing changes that equation completely.
When we install your metal roof, you’re looking at 50 to 70 years of protection. Not 15. Not 20. Decades of reliable performance while your neighbors are on their second or third roof replacement.
The energy savings start immediately. Metal reflects heat instead of absorbing it, which means your air conditioning doesn’t work overtime during those brutal Suffolk County summers. Most homeowners see cooling cost reductions of 10 to 25 percent.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families for years, and we understand exactly what Greenport homes face. The nor’easters that slam the coast. The summer storms that pop up fast. The winter ice that tests every seal and seam.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation. We’re licensed, insured, and locally owned. When you call us, you’re working with people who live in this community and stand behind every job we complete.
Our clients consistently tell us they chose right. Projects finished on time, within budget, with the kind of attention to detail that comes from genuine pride in the work.
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your current roof and structure. This tells us exactly what we’re working with and helps us recommend the best metal roofing system for your home’s specific needs.
Next comes the detailed estimate. You’ll know exactly what materials we’re using, how long the project will take, and what everything costs. No surprises, no change orders, no runaround.
Installation day means our certified crew arrives on schedule with premium materials. We handle the complete tear-off if needed, install proper underlayment and weatherproofing, then mount your new metal roofing system with precision. Every panel is secured correctly, every seam is weathertight, and we test everything before calling the job complete. Clean-up is thorough because we respect your property.

Metal roofing isn’t one-size-fits-all, especially in coastal Suffolk County where salt air, high winds, and temperature swings demand specific solutions.
Standing seam systems offer the ultimate in weather protection with concealed fasteners and continuous panels that expand and contract naturally. Perfect for Greenport’s variable climate and excellent for homes where longevity matters most.
Metal shingles give you the classic look of traditional roofing with all the benefits of metal. They handle wind speeds up to 140 mph and come in colors that won’t fade or chalk over time. Many of our Greenport clients choose this option because it complements the area’s architectural character while delivering modern performance.
For coastal properties, we recommend aluminum systems that resist salt corrosion naturally. Steel options work well inland and offer the best value for most applications. Every system comes with manufacturer warranties and our guarantee of proper installation.
Metal roofing in Greenport typically lasts 50 to 70 years with proper installation and minimal maintenance. The coastal environment actually works in metal’s favor because quality systems resist salt corrosion and handle high winds better than traditional materials.
We use protective coatings specifically designed for coastal applications. Aluminum naturally resists salt air, while our steel systems come with galvanized or galvalume coatings that prevent rust and corrosion. Most of our Greenport installations from 20+ years ago still look and perform like new.
The key is proper installation with the right materials for your specific location. We factor in your distance from the water, prevailing wind patterns, and local weather history to recommend the best system for maximum longevity.
Metal roofing investment in Suffolk County typically ranges from $12,000 to $25,000 for an average home, depending on the system you choose and your roof’s complexity. While the upfront cost is higher than asphalt shingles, the long-term value is significantly better.
Consider this: asphalt shingles last about 20 years and cost $8,000 to $15,000 to replace. Over 50 years, you’ll replace that roof 2-3 times, spending $20,000 to $40,000 plus dealing with multiple disruptions. Metal roofing is installed once and performs for decades.
Factor in energy savings of 10-25% on cooling costs, reduced maintenance expenses, and increased home value, and metal roofing typically pays for itself within 15-20 years. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs and show you the long-term financial picture.
Properly installed metal roofing with adequate insulation and underlayment is no noisier than other roofing materials during rain or storms. The “noisy metal roof” concern comes from old agricultural buildings with metal roofing installed directly over open rafters.
Modern residential metal roofing installation includes solid decking, quality underlayment, and proper insulation that dampen sound effectively. Our clients consistently report that their new metal roofs are actually quieter than their old asphalt shingles, especially during heavy rain.
The installation method makes all the difference. We use proven techniques and quality materials that eliminate noise issues while providing superior weather protection. Most homeowners are surprised by how quiet their new metal roof actually is.
Metal roofing is specifically engineered to handle severe weather better than any other residential roofing material. Long Island’s combination of nor’easters, summer storms, high winds, and temperature swings is exactly what metal roofing systems are designed to withstand.
Wind resistance is exceptional – quality metal roofing handles sustained winds over 140 mph without damage. The interlocking panel design creates a continuous barrier that won’t lift or separate like individual shingles. Heavy snow loads distribute evenly across the strong metal surface.
Hail resistance is superior because metal doesn’t crack or puncture like asphalt materials. Ice dams are less problematic because metal’s smooth surface sheds ice and snow more effectively. Fire resistance is excellent since metal is non-combustible. Many insurance companies offer discounts for metal roofing because of its proven storm performance.
Most existing roof decks in good condition can support metal roofing without modification. Metal roofing is actually lighter than many traditional materials, so structural capacity is rarely an issue for homes built to modern standards.
We inspect your existing deck during our initial assessment to check for any damage, rot, or structural concerns. If we find isolated problem areas, we replace those sections as part of the installation. Complete deck replacement is only necessary if there’s widespread damage or if local codes require it for your specific situation.
The inspection process is thorough because proper deck preparation is crucial for metal roofing performance. We check fastener holding power, look for any soft spots or damage, and ensure the surface is properly prepared. This attention to detail during preparation is what ensures your metal roof performs optimally for decades.
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials, which is one of its biggest advantages for busy Suffolk County homeowners. Annual inspections and occasional cleaning are typically all that’s needed to keep your metal roof performing optimally.
We recommend checking gutters and downspouts twice yearly to ensure proper drainage, especially important in our area with heavy seasonal rainfall. Remove any debris like leaves or branches that might accumulate in valleys or against roof penetrations. A simple rinse with a garden hose handles most cleaning needs.
Professional inspection every few years helps identify any loose fasteners or minor issues before they become problems. Most metal roofing systems we install go decades with only basic maintenance. Compare that to asphalt shingles that need regular repairs, replacement of damaged shingles, and complete replacement every 15-20 years.
