You’re tired of dealing with shingle repairs every few years. You want a roof that actually lasts—one that handles whatever Suffolk County weather throws at it without constant maintenance calls.
That’s exactly what metal roofing delivers. While your neighbors replace asphalt shingles every 15-20 years, you’ll have a roof that performs for 50+ years. No more granules in your gutters, no more missing shingles after storms, no more worrying about leaks during heavy rains.
Metal roofing reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your home cooler in summer and reducing your energy bills. It’s built to handle Long Island’s coastal winds, winter snow loads, and everything in between.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families for years, understanding exactly what Old Field homeowners need in a roofing contractor. We’re not the cheapest option—and that’s intentional.
When you’re investing in a roof that costs significantly more upfront than asphalt, you need contractors who know what they’re doing. We specialize in metal roofing installation, using proven techniques that ensure your roof performs as promised for decades.
Our team understands Old Field’s unique character and the level of quality residents expect. Every project gets the same attention to detail, whether it’s a complete roof replacement or metal roof installation on new construction.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure. Metal roofing requires proper preparation, so we evaluate your roof deck, check for any needed repairs, and ensure everything meets the structural requirements for metal installation.
Next comes the full roof tear-off if you’re replacing an existing roof. We remove all old materials down to the deck, replace any damaged sheathing, and install proper underlayment designed specifically for metal roofing systems.
The installation itself involves precise measurement and cutting of metal panels, proper fastening techniques, and careful attention to flashing around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations. We finish with ridge caps and trim work that gives your roof a clean, professional appearance that complements your Old Field home’s architecture.

Metal roofing makes particular sense in Suffolk County’s climate. Our coastal location means dealing with salt air, strong winds, and significant temperature swings throughout the year. Metal roofing handles all of this better than traditional materials.
In Old Field specifically, where home values average over $1.2 million, the long-term investment approach makes sense. You’re not just buying a roof—you’re making the last roofing decision you’ll need to make. The energy savings alone often offset a significant portion of the higher upfront cost over the roof’s lifespan.
Standing seam metal roofing, in particular, offers superior performance during hurricanes and severe weather events common to Long Island. The panels interlock in a way that creates exceptional wind resistance, while the material itself won’t crack, split, or deteriorate like organic materials.
Metal roofing typically costs $10-16 per square foot installed, while asphalt shingles run $5-9 per square foot. For an average Old Field home, you’re looking at roughly $15,000-25,000 for metal versus $8,000-15,000 for asphalt.
The key difference is longevity. Asphalt shingles need replacement every 15-20 years, while metal roofing lasts 50+ years with minimal maintenance. When you factor in multiple asphalt replacements over 50 years, plus the energy savings from metal’s reflective properties, the long-term costs often favor metal significantly.
Yes, metal roofing typically increases home value and appeal to buyers. In Old Field’s premium market, buyers appreciate the long-term durability and reduced maintenance requirements.
Metal roofing often provides 60-70% return on investment when selling, and homes with metal roofs frequently sell faster because buyers don’t worry about immediate roofing expenses. The energy efficiency benefits also appeal to environmentally conscious buyers, which is increasingly important in Suffolk County’s market.
Most metal roof installations take 2-5 days depending on roof size and complexity. Simple gable roofs move faster, while homes with multiple dormers, chimneys, or complex angles require additional time.
Weather can affect timing, particularly during Suffolk County’s winter months. We schedule installations during favorable weather windows and keep you informed of any delays. The installation process is generally faster than asphalt because metal panels cover larger areas more quickly once the preparation work is complete.
Properly installed metal roofing with adequate insulation and underlayment is not significantly noisier than other roofing materials. The key is proper installation technique and using appropriate underlayment materials.
Modern metal roofing systems include sound-dampening underlayment that reduces noise transmission. Most homeowners are surprised that their metal roof isn’t noticeably louder than their previous asphalt roof. In fact, many report that the solid feel and performance during storms provides peace of mind that outweighs any minor noise considerations.
Standing seam steel and aluminum both perform excellently in Suffolk County’s coastal environment. Steel offers superior strength for snow loads and wind resistance, while aluminum provides natural corrosion resistance against salt air.
For Old Field homes, we typically recommend galvanized or galvalume steel with appropriate coatings for coastal applications. These systems provide the best combination of durability, weather resistance, and long-term performance. The key is using proper fastening systems and flashing techniques designed for coastal wind conditions.
The best time is before your current roof fails completely. If your asphalt shingles are 15+ years old, showing granule loss, or requiring frequent repairs, it’s worth considering metal roofing as your replacement option.
Don’t wait for leaks to develop—roof replacement is much more straightforward when done proactively. Spring and fall typically offer the best installation conditions in Suffolk County, though we work year-round when weather permits. The investment makes most sense when you’re planning to stay in your Old Field home long-term or want to maximize resale value.
