You stop worrying about the next storm. Your energy bills drop noticeably during those brutal summer months when everyone else is cranking their AC. The roof that used to demand attention every few years now sits quietly above you, doing its job without drama.
Your neighbors notice the upgrade. The clean lines of standing seam metal or the classic appeal of metal shingles transforms your home’s entire appearance. Property values in Head of the Harbor reflect these improvements, and you know you’ve made a smart long-term investment.
No more emergency calls to roofers after every major weather event. No more wondering if this is the year you’ll need another expensive repair. Just solid protection that handles whatever nature throws at it.
We’ve been protecting homes across Suffolk County long enough to understand what works here and what doesn’t. We’re not the guys who disappear after installation – we’re your neighbors, licensed and established in this community.
Head of the Harbor homeowners face unique challenges. The coastal location means salt air, strong winds, and weather that can change fast. We’ve seen what happens when roofs aren’t built to handle it, and we’ve perfected installations that are.
Our focus stays on residential work because that’s where we excel. Full-service exterior improvements, but roofing is where we’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
We start with an honest assessment of your current roof and your home’s specific needs. No pressure, no inflated problems – just straight talk about what you’re dealing with and what makes sense for your situation.
Once we agree on the approach, we handle permits and scheduling around your life. The tear-off happens efficiently, and we protect your property throughout the process. Metal installation requires precision, especially with standing seam systems where every panel must align perfectly for weather-tight performance.
Installation typically takes longer than asphalt – usually 2-3 times longer – because we’re building something that will outlast everything around it. Quality takes time, but you’ll appreciate the difference when the first major storm hits and your roof handles it without a problem.

Standing seam metal roofing offers the ultimate in weather protection. Those raised seams create a fortress against water infiltration, and the sleek appearance works beautifully with both traditional and modern home styles common in Head of the Harbor.
Metal shingle systems give you the durability of metal with the familiar look of traditional roofing. Steel, aluminum, and copper options each bring different benefits, but all deliver the longevity and weather resistance that makes metal roofing such a smart investment.
Suffolk County’s coastal climate demands materials that can handle salt air, high winds, and temperature swings. Our metal roofing installations include proper underlayment, ventilation, and fastening systems designed specifically for these conditions. Energy efficiency comes standard – the reflective properties of metal roofing can significantly reduce cooling costs during those humid Long Island summers.
Metal roofing typically costs 2-3 times more upfront than asphalt shingles, with installation ranging from $8-15 per square foot depending on the material and complexity. However, the math changes when you consider longevity. Asphalt shingles last 15-20 years in Long Island’s climate, while metal roofs perform for 50+ years with minimal maintenance.
Factor in energy savings from metal’s reflective properties, fewer repairs, and increased home value, and metal roofing often costs less over time. Many Head of the Harbor homeowners find the peace of mind worth the initial investment, especially after experiencing storm damage with traditional roofing materials.
Actually, the opposite is true. Metal roofing with proper underlayment and ventilation keeps homes more comfortable year-round. The reflective surface bounces solar heat away during summer, reducing cooling costs by 10-25% compared to dark asphalt shingles that absorb heat.
In winter, metal roofing works with your home’s insulation system to maintain consistent temperatures. The key is proper installation with adequate insulation and ventilation – something we ensure on every Suffolk County project. Many homeowners notice lower energy bills within the first year after installation.
Metal roofing excels in severe weather conditions common to Suffolk County. Standing seam systems have tested wind resistance up to 140+ mph, far exceeding typical storm conditions. The interlocking design and mechanical fastening create a continuous barrier that won’t lift or separate like individual shingles.
During Hurricane Sandy and other major storms, metal roofs consistently outperformed traditional materials. The lightweight yet strong construction means less stress on your home’s structure, while the weather-tight seams prevent water infiltration even in driving rain. Salt air that corrodes other materials has minimal impact on properly coated metal roofing.
Modern metal roofing installation includes solid underlayment and proper insulation that significantly reduce noise. Most homeowners report that rain sounds no louder than with their previous asphalt shingle roof, and many find it actually quieter due to the solid substrate beneath the metal.
Hail creates some sound, but it’s typically less jarring than the sharp impacts you hear with traditional shingles. The bigger advantage is that metal roofing resists hail damage that would require repairs or replacement with other materials. After major hailstorms in Suffolk County, metal roofs often show minimal to no damage while neighboring homes need extensive work.
Standing seam features large panels with raised seams that interlock for maximum weather protection. It creates clean, modern lines and offers the best performance against water infiltration. Installation costs more but provides superior longevity and weather resistance.
Metal shingles mimic the appearance of traditional roofing while delivering metal’s durability benefits. They’re typically less expensive to install and work well with Head of the Harbor’s varied architectural styles. Both options significantly outperform asphalt in longevity and weather resistance, so the choice often comes down to aesthetic preference and budget considerations.
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Annual inspections to check for debris in gutters and ensure proper drainage are usually sufficient. Unlike asphalt shingles that need regular replacement of damaged pieces, metal roofs typically maintain their integrity for decades.
Occasional cleaning may be needed in areas with heavy tree coverage, but Suffolk County’s coastal winds often handle this naturally. The biggest maintenance advantage is what you don’t have to do – no more worrying about missing shingles after storms, no granule loss, no regular repairs. Most metal roofing issues, if they occur, are related to flashing or fasteners rather than the roofing material itself.
