You’re done worrying about your roof every time the weather turns. No more emergency calls during storms, no more replacing shingles every decade, no more sky-high cooling bills in summer.
Metal roofing reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your Lake Ronkonkoma home cooler and cutting your energy costs significantly. While your neighbors replace their asphalt roofs every 15-20 years, you’ll have decades of protection with minimal maintenance.
The peace of mind is real. You know your roof can handle whatever Suffolk County weather throws at it – from nor’easters to summer storms to heavy snow loads.
We’ve been protecting Suffolk County homes for decades at SkyLuxe Construction. We’re not some fly-by-night operation – we’re a family business with deep roots in Lake Ronkonkoma and the surrounding communities.
Our team understands exactly what Long Island weather does to roofs. We’ve seen how coastal humidity, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat stress roofing materials. That’s why we recommend metal roofing for homeowners who want a permanent solution.
We’re fully licensed, insured, and committed to doing the job right the first time. When you choose SkyLuxe, you’re choosing contractors who live and work in your community.
First, we inspect your existing roof structure to ensure it can support the new metal system. In many cases, we can install metal roofing directly over your existing shingles, saving you time and disposal costs.
Next, we prepare the surface with proper underlayment and ensure all flashing details are perfect. Metal roofing demands precision – every seam, every fastener, every edge detail has to be right.
Then comes installation of your metal panels or shingles. We use manufacturer-approved fastening systems and follow strict installation protocols. The result is a roof system that’s engineered to last 40-70 years with minimal maintenance. We clean up completely and walk you through your new roof’s care instructions.

Standing seam metal roofing offers the sleekest look with concealed fasteners and superior weather protection. It’s the premium choice for homeowners who want maximum performance and curb appeal.
Metal shingles and tiles give you the traditional look of asphalt or slate with all the benefits of metal. You get the aesthetic you want with 50+ years of durability and energy efficiency.
For Lake Ronkonkoma’s coastal environment, we recommend aluminum or galvanized steel with protective coatings. These materials resist salt air corrosion while providing excellent wind and impact resistance. Colors range from classic earth tones to bold architectural statements, and most come with fade-resistant finishes that maintain their appearance for decades.
Metal roofing typically costs $10,000-$16,000 for an average Lake Ronkonkoma home, or about $10-16 per square foot installed. While that’s 2-3 times more than asphalt shingles upfront, it’s actually cheaper long-term.
Here’s why: asphalt roofs need replacement every 15-20 years, while metal roofs last 40-70 years. If you stay in your home long-term, you’ll likely save money with metal roofing. Plus, the energy savings from metal’s reflective properties reduce your cooling costs every summer.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all material and labor costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for with no surprises.
Yes, in most cases we can install metal roofing directly over your existing asphalt shingles. This saves you thousands in tear-off and disposal costs while reducing the mess and timeline of your project.
We first inspect your roof structure to ensure it can handle the additional weight (though metal is actually lighter than many roofing materials). We also check that your existing roof doesn’t have multiple layers or structural issues that would require removal.
Installing over existing shingles also provides extra insulation and sound dampening. However, if your current roof has significant damage or multiple layers, we’ll recommend a full tear-off for the best long-term results.
Quality metal roofing systems last 40-70 years in Long Island’s climate when properly installed and maintained. That’s 2-3 times longer than asphalt shingles, which typically need replacement every 15-20 years here.
Metal roofing actually performs better in our challenging weather than most alternatives. It sheds snow and ice effectively, resists wind uplift during storms, and won’t crack or curl from freeze-thaw cycles like asphalt shingles do.
The key is professional installation with proper flashing and fastening systems. When done right, your metal roof will likely be the last roof you ever need to install on your Lake Ronkonkoma home.
Modern metal roofing with proper installation and underlayment is actually quieter during rain than many people expect. When installed over solid sheathing with quality underlayment, metal roofs perform similarly to other roofing materials for sound dampening.
The “noisy tin roof” reputation comes from old agricultural buildings with metal roofing installed directly over open rafters. Residential metal roofing uses completely different installation methods with sound-absorbing materials.
If you’re particularly sensitive to sound, we can install additional insulation or sound-dampening materials during installation. Most of our Lake Ronkonkoma clients are pleasantly surprised by how quiet their new metal roofs are during storms.
Yes, metal roofing typically increases home value and makes properties more attractive to buyers in Suffolk County. Potential buyers recognize the long-term benefits: lower maintenance costs, energy savings, and decades of remaining life.
Real estate professionals often note that homes with newer metal roofs sell faster and for higher prices than comparable homes with aging asphalt roofs. The improved curb appeal and known longevity are major selling points.
Insurance companies also sometimes offer discounts for metal roofing due to its fire, wind, and impact resistance. Over time, these savings plus the energy efficiency benefits help offset the initial investment while adding lasting value to your property.
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Annual inspections to check fasteners and flashing, plus occasional cleaning to remove debris, are typically all that’s needed.
Unlike asphalt shingles that crack, curl, and need frequent replacement, metal roofing maintains its integrity for decades. You might need to touch up scratches in the paint finish occasionally, but major repairs are rare with quality installation.
We recommend having your metal roof professionally inspected every few years, especially after severe storms. But day-to-day maintenance is minimal – just keep gutters clean and remove any debris that accumulates in valleys or around penetrations.
