You stop worrying about the next storm. Your energy bills drop because metal roofing reflects heat instead of absorbing it like asphalt shingles.
No more emergency calls to fix wind damage or missing shingles after every coastal storm. No more replacing your roof every 20 years.
Instead, you get decades of peace of mind knowing your roof can handle whatever Suffolk County weather throws at it – from hurricanes to nor’easters to those brutal summer heat waves.
We’ve been protecting Suffolk County homes for decades at SkyLuxe Construction. We know what Port Jefferson weather does to roofs because we’ve seen it all.
Every metal roofing system we install is designed specifically for Long Island’s coastal conditions. We understand how salt air, temperature swings from 23°F to 81°F, and those 45 hurricanes since 1930 affect your home.
That local knowledge matters when you’re investing in a roof that needs to last 40+ years. We’re not just installers – we’re your neighbors who’ve been doing this right for generations.
First, we inspect your current roof and measure everything precisely. No surprises, no hidden costs – just an honest assessment of what you need.
Next, we order your specific metal roofing materials and schedule installation around your timeline. Most residential metal roof installations complete in 1-2 days, weather permitting.
During installation, we remove your old roofing, install proper underlayment and ventilation, then secure your new metal roofing system. We clean up completely and walk through everything with you to ensure you’re satisfied with the work.

Metal roofing makes sense here because it’s built for our weather. Standing seam metal roofs handle hurricane-force winds, heavy snow loads, and coastal salt air without deteriorating like asphalt shingles.
Energy efficiency matters in Suffolk County’s climate. Metal roofing reflects solar heat, reducing your cooling costs during those humid Long Island summers. Many homeowners see 10-20% reductions in energy bills.
The investment pays off long-term. While asphalt shingles need replacement every 20-25 years, quality metal roofing lasts 40-70 years with minimal maintenance. That’s potentially two fewer roof replacements in your lifetime.
Metal roofing typically costs 2-3 times more upfront than asphalt shingles, but the math changes when you factor in longevity. A quality metal roof lasts 40-70 years versus 20-25 years for asphalt.
Over the life of your home, you’ll likely replace asphalt shingles 2-3 times while metal roofing is a one-time investment. Add in energy savings from metal’s reflective properties and reduced maintenance costs, and metal roofing often costs less per year of protection.
Most Port Jefferson homeowners find the peace of mind worth the investment, especially after experiencing storm damage with traditional roofing materials.
Metal roofing is specifically engineered for severe weather conditions. Quality metal roofing systems can withstand winds up to 130+ mph, well above most hurricane wind speeds that hit Long Island.
Unlike asphalt shingles that can lift, tear, or blow off during storms, metal roofing panels interlock and fasten directly to your roof deck. The continuous surface doesn’t give wind anywhere to grab and lift.
Suffolk County has experienced 45 hurricanes since 1930, plus countless nor’easters and coastal storms. Metal roofing consistently outperforms other materials in these conditions, which is why insurance companies often offer discounts for metal roof installations.
Yes, metal roofing’s reflective surface can significantly reduce cooling costs during Suffolk County’s hot, humid summers. Traditional asphalt shingles absorb heat and transfer it into your attic, forcing your AC to work harder.
Metal roofing reflects solar radiation instead of absorbing it, keeping your attic cooler and reducing the load on your cooling system. Many homeowners see 10-20% reductions in summer energy bills.
The energy savings compound over decades. Combined with metal roofing’s longevity, the total cost of ownership often makes metal roofing more economical than repeatedly replacing asphalt shingles.
Most residential metal roof installations in Port Jefferson complete in 1-2 days, depending on roof size and complexity. Simple ranch homes often finish in one day, while larger or more complex rooflines may take two days.
Weather can affect timing – we won’t install during storms or high winds for safety reasons. But metal roofing installation is generally faster than asphalt shingle installation because the panels cover more area quickly.
We coordinate timing with you and provide realistic schedules upfront. Our goal is efficient installation without compromising quality, so you get back to normal life as quickly as possible.
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials, even in Suffolk County’s coastal environment. Annual inspections to check fasteners and sealants around penetrations are recommended.
Occasional cleaning to remove debris, salt buildup, or algae helps maintain appearance and performance. Most metal roofing finishes are designed to resist salt air corrosion and UV damage.
The key advantage is what you don’t have to do – no replacing damaged shingles after storms, no regular repairs from wind damage, no frequent maintenance to prevent leaks. Quality metal roofing systems are designed to perform for decades with minimal intervention.
While some metal roofing can be installed over existing shingles, we typically recommend full tear-off and replacement for optimal performance and longevity. This allows proper inspection of the roof deck and installation of appropriate underlayment.
Complete removal ensures your new metal roofing system starts with a clean, properly prepared surface. It also allows us to upgrade ventilation and insulation if needed, maximizing energy efficiency benefits.
The additional cost for tear-off is usually worth it for the improved performance and warranty coverage. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the best approach for your Port Jefferson home.
