Your roof leak worries end here. Metal roofing gives you 40+ years of protection without the constant repairs that drain your budget every few seasons.
You’ll notice lower energy bills almost immediately. The reflective surface bounces heat away from your home, so your AC doesn’t work overtime during those brutal Suffolk County summers.
No more scheduling roof repairs every other year. Once we install your metal roof, you’re done dealing with missing shingles, water damage, and emergency calls to contractors.
We’ve been protecting North Babylon homes for decades at SkyLuxe Construction Inc. We’re a family-owned business that understands what Suffolk County weather can do to your roof.
We’ve seen every type of roof failure this climate dishes out. From ice dams in winter to hurricane-force winds in summer, we know exactly what your metal roof needs to handle.
You’ll find us at the supply houses early in the morning, on job sites when we say we’ll be there, and answering the phone when you call. We live and work in this community, so our reputation matters more than any single job.
First, we inspect your existing roof structure to ensure it can support the new metal system. We document everything and give you a detailed written assessment of what needs to happen.
Next comes the installation of proper underlayment and ice shields in critical areas. This foundation work prevents moisture issues and ensures your metal roof performs exactly as designed.
Then we install your metal panels with precision-engineered fasteners and sealing systems. Every connection point gets sealed properly to prevent the oil canning and leak issues you see with rushed installations. We handle permits, coordinate inspections, and work with your insurance company if storm damage is involved.

Your metal roof includes more than just panels. We’re talking about a complete roofing system designed to handle everything North Babylon weather throws at it.
Standing seam systems work best for most homes here because they shed snow effectively and handle our freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. We use materials from manufacturers who back their products with real warranties, not the cheap stuff that fails in three years.
North Babylon’s coastal proximity means salt air exposure, so we recommend aluminum or galvanized steel with protective coatings. These materials resist corrosion while providing the wind resistance you need during storm season. Proper ventilation prevents ice dams, and our flashing details actually keep water out instead of channeling it into your walls.
Metal roofing in North Babylon typically costs between $12,000 and $25,000 for most homes, depending on your roof size and the materials you choose. Standing seam systems run higher than corrugated options, but they last longer and perform better in our climate.
The upfront investment pays off quickly through energy savings and eliminated repair costs. Most homeowners see 15-20% lower cooling bills immediately, and you’ll never pay for storm damage repairs again. When you factor in the 40+ year lifespan versus replacing asphalt shingles every 15-20 years, metal roofing actually costs less over time.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees, and we work with your insurance company if storm damage is involved.
Yes, metal roofing can often be installed over existing asphalt shingles, which saves you the cost and hassle of a complete tear-off. This approach works well when your current roof deck is structurally sound and meets local building codes.
Installing over shingles reduces labor time, eliminates disposal fees, and minimizes disruption to your daily routine. However, we always inspect the underlying structure first to ensure it can support the new system and won’t create moisture problems down the road.
Some situations require a complete tear-off, particularly if your existing roof has multiple layers or significant damage. We’ll give you an honest assessment during our inspection and explain why we recommend one approach over the other. The goal is a roof system that performs flawlessly for decades, not just the cheapest installation method.
Most metal roof installations in North Babylon take 2-4 days depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the roofline. Single-story ranch homes often get completed in 1-2 days, while larger colonials or homes with multiple dormers may take 3-4 days.
Weather can affect the timeline since we won’t work in unsafe conditions or when rain could damage your exposed roof deck. We communicate daily about progress and any schedule changes, so you’re never left wondering what’s happening.
The key is proper planning and experienced crews who know how to work efficiently without cutting corners on quality. We start early, work systematically, and clean up thoroughly each day. You’ll have a completely weatherproof roof before we leave each evening, so there’s no risk of water damage during the installation process.
Standing seam aluminum and galvanized steel perform best in North Babylon’s climate because they handle our freeze-thaw cycles, high winds, and salt air exposure. Aluminum offers superior corrosion resistance, while steel provides maximum strength for wind uplift resistance.
Both materials should have protective coatings that resist UV degradation and prevent chalking over time. Look for products with 40+ year paint warranties, not the builder-grade coatings that fade and peel within a decade.
Copper works beautifully for architectural accents and performs well in coastal environments, but the cost puts it out of reach for most residential projects. Whatever material you choose, proper installation with quality fasteners and sealants matters more than the specific metal type. We’ll recommend the best option based on your budget, home style, and performance priorities.
Modern metal roofs with proper installation and underlayment are no noisier than asphalt shingle roofs during rain or storms. The key is using adequate insulation and sound-dampening materials beneath the metal panels.
Solid roof decking with quality underlayment absorbs most of the sound, while proper attic insulation prevents noise transmission into living spaces. Many homeowners are surprised to discover their new metal roof is actually quieter than their old shingles during heavy weather.
The “noisy metal roof” reputation comes from agricultural buildings and older installations without proper sound barriers. When we install your residential metal roof, we include all the materials needed to ensure quiet performance. You’ll hear the weather outside, but it won’t sound like you’re living inside a drum.
A quality metal roof typically increases home value by $1.45 per square foot and makes your property more attractive to potential buyers. Metal roofing is seen as a premium upgrade that eliminates future roofing concerns for new homeowners.
Energy efficiency improvements also add value, particularly as utility costs continue rising. Buyers recognize that metal roofing means lower cooling bills and no roof replacement expenses for decades. This translates into real savings that justify the initial investment.
Insurance companies often provide discounts for metal roofing due to its wind and fire resistance, which adds to the long-term value proposition. When it’s time to sell, you’ll have a significant advantage over homes with aging asphalt roofs that represent a liability rather than an asset.
