You’re tired of replacing your roof every 15 years. You want something that actually lasts through Long Island’s brutal winters, summer heat, and everything in between.
That’s exactly what you get with metal roofing. While your neighbors are dealing with their third asphalt shingle replacement, you’ll still have decades left on your metal roof. No more worrying about leaks during the next nor’easter. No more granules clogging your gutters every spring.
Your energy bills drop because metal roofing reflects heat instead of absorbing it. Your home stays cooler in summer without cranking the AC. And when the next big storm hits North Sea, you’ll sleep soundly knowing your roof can handle whatever nature throws at it.
We bring decades of roofing experience specifically to Suffolk County homes. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or a massive corporation that treats you like a number.
We understand North Sea’s unique weather challenges because we’ve been handling them for years. The salt air, the winter storms, the summer heat—we know exactly what your roof needs to survive and thrive in this environment.
Our family-run approach means you get personal attention from start to finish. When we say we’ll be there, we show up. When we quote you a timeline, we stick to it. That’s how we’ve built our reputation throughout Suffolk County.
First, we come out for a thorough inspection of your current roof. No high-pressure sales tactics—just an honest assessment of what you’re dealing with and whether metal roofing makes sense for your situation.
If you decide to move forward, we handle the permits and scheduling. Our crew arrives on time with all materials ready to go. We start with a complete tear-off of your old roofing, then install proper underlayment and ice barriers designed specifically for Long Island’s climate.
The metal panels go on with precision. Standing seam installation requires skill and experience to do right—this isn’t something you want done by whoever bids lowest. We ensure every seam is properly sealed and every panel is secured to handle high winds.
Clean-up happens as we go, and we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets our standards and yours. You’ll have documentation for warranty purposes and know exactly how to maintain your new roof.

Standing seam metal roofing is our most popular option for North Sea homes, and for good reason. The raised seams create a weathertight seal that keeps water out even during driving rain and ice storms. This system expands and contracts with temperature changes without compromising the seal.
We use high-grade steel with protective coatings designed specifically for coastal environments. The salt air that comes off the Atlantic can be tough on roofing materials, but our metal roofing systems are engineered to resist corrosion for decades.
Color options range from traditional neutrals to bold architectural statements. The reflective properties help reduce cooling costs during hot Long Island summers, while the durability means you won’t be dealing with storm damage repairs every few years like you would with traditional shingles.
Installation includes proper ventilation systems to prevent ice dams—a common problem in our area during winter months. We also integrate seamlessly with existing gutters or can upgrade your entire drainage system if needed.
Metal roofing in North Sea typically lasts 50+ years, even with our challenging coastal conditions. The salt air and temperature extremes that can shorten the life of other roofing materials actually have minimal impact on properly installed metal systems.
The key is using marine-grade coatings and proper installation techniques. We use steel with specialized protective finishes that resist corrosion from salt exposure. The standing seam design also means fewer penetrations where moisture could potentially cause problems.
Compare that to asphalt shingles, which typically need replacement every 15-20 years in our climate. Over a 50-year period, you’d be looking at 2-3 complete roof replacements with traditional materials versus one metal roof installation.
Metal roof replacement in North Sea typically ranges from $12,000 to $25,000 for an average home, depending on size, complexity, and specific materials chosen. While the upfront cost is higher than asphalt shingles, the long-term value is significant.
Consider the total cost over time: three asphalt roof replacements over 50 years could easily cost $30,000+ when you factor in inflation and disposal fees. Plus, you avoid the hassle and disruption of multiple replacements.
Energy savings also add up. Most homeowners see 10-15% reduction in cooling costs due to metal roofing’s reflective properties. Over decades, those savings help offset the initial investment. We can provide detailed cost comparisons based on your specific situation.
Metal roofing is actually one of the most storm-resistant options available. Standing seam systems are engineered to handle winds well over 100 mph when properly installed. The interlocking panel design creates a continuous weather barrier that won’t lift or blow off like individual shingles.
We’ve seen metal roofs in Suffolk County survive major storms with minimal damage while neighboring homes with traditional roofing needed extensive repairs. The key is proper installation with adequate fastening and sealing at all penetrations.
Hurricane Sandy was a good test case for Long Island roofing systems. Homes with quality metal roofing generally fared much better than those with asphalt shingles or older materials. The investment in storm-resistant roofing pays for itself when you avoid emergency repairs and insurance claims.
Modern metal roofing with proper installation is not significantly noisier than other roofing materials. The key factors are solid decking, quality underlayment, and adequate attic insulation—all standard parts of our installation process.
Most noise complaints about metal roofing come from installations over open framing (like barns) or with minimal insulation. When installed over solid decking with proper underlayment, the sound difference is minimal compared to asphalt shingles.
Many homeowners are actually surprised by how quiet their new metal roof is. The solid construction and quality materials we use create effective sound dampening. If noise is a particular concern, we can discuss additional insulation options during your consultation.
While it’s sometimes possible to install metal roofing over existing shingles, we typically recommend complete tear-off for best results. This allows us to inspect the decking, address any underlying issues, and ensure proper installation of ice barriers and ventilation.
Installing over existing materials can trap moisture and create problems down the road. It also adds weight to your roof structure and may not meet current building codes in some situations.
The tear-off process adds to the initial cost but ensures your new metal roof performs as designed for its full lifespan. We can assess your specific situation and discuss the pros and cons of each approach during your consultation.
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing systems. Annual inspections are recommended to check for any loose fasteners or debris accumulation, but major maintenance is rarely needed.
In our coastal environment, occasional rinsing can help remove salt buildup, though this isn’t critical with quality protective coatings. Gutters should be kept clear to ensure proper drainage, but this is true for any roofing system.
Most maintenance involves keeping trees trimmed back and ensuring good attic ventilation. The durability of metal roofing means you’ll spend far less time and money on maintenance over the life of your roof compared to traditional materials that require regular repairs and eventual replacement.
