Your roof stops being a worry when it’s built right the first time. Metal roofing gives you decades of protection without the constant repairs and replacements that come with traditional materials.
You get energy savings from day one. The reflective surface bounces heat away from your home, cutting your cooling costs by up to 25% during those hot Suffolk County summers. That’s real money back in your pocket every month.
When severe weather hits Shoreham – and it will – your metal roof stands strong. Heavy snow, driving rain, high winds, even hail. Metal roofing handles what Long Island throws at it while other materials crack, leak, or blow away.
We bring decades of exterior renovation experience to every metal roofing project in Shoreham. We’re not just another contractor – we’re your Suffolk County neighbors who understand exactly what your roof needs to handle.
We know Shoreham’s coastal climate. The salt air, the winter storms, the summer heat. Every metal roof we install accounts for these local conditions because we’ve been working in this area long enough to see what works and what fails.
Our family-owned approach means you get personal attention from start to finish. No subcontractors, no runarounds. Just experienced professionals who take responsibility for your project and stand behind our work.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current roof and property. This isn’t a quick glance – we check everything from structural integrity to ventilation to make sure your new metal roof performs perfectly.
Next comes material selection and project planning. We walk you through options for metal types, colors, and styles that match your home and budget. Standing seam, metal shingles, corrugated panels – each has specific advantages we’ll explain clearly.
Installation happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Our experienced crew handles everything from tear-off (if needed) to final cleanup. Many metal roofs can actually be installed over existing shingles, saving time and disposal costs. We coordinate all permits and inspections so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues.

Shoreham’s location along the Long Island Sound creates unique roofing challenges. Salt air accelerates corrosion on traditional materials, while seasonal storms test every fastener and seam. Metal roofing handles both with protective coatings and interlocking panel systems designed for coastal environments.
Energy efficiency matters more here than in many areas. Summer heat combined with high humidity makes cooling costs significant for most homeowners. Metal roofing’s reflective properties can cut those costs substantially – often paying for the upgrade through energy savings over time.
The fire resistance benefit becomes crucial during dry periods when brush fires threaten Suffolk County communities. Metal roofing earns the highest fire resistance rating available, giving you and your family extra protection that traditional materials simply cannot provide.
Metal roofing typically costs $10-16 per square foot installed, while asphalt shingles run $5-9 per square foot. For an average Shoreham home, that means $15,000-25,000 for metal versus $8,000-15,000 for asphalt.
The difference pays for itself through longevity and energy savings. Asphalt shingles need replacement every 15-20 years in our coastal climate, while metal roofing lasts 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Factor in energy savings of 10-25% on cooling costs, and metal roofing often costs less over time than repeatedly replacing cheaper materials.
Insurance companies sometimes offer discounts for metal roofing due to its fire resistance and storm durability. Check with your provider – the savings might surprise you.
Modern metal roofing with proper installation is no noisier than asphalt shingles. The key is professional installation with adequate insulation and solid roof decking.
Most noise complaints come from metal roofing installed over open framing without insulation – typically on barns or industrial buildings. Residential installations include multiple layers that dampen sound: roof decking, underlayment, insulation, and the metal panels themselves.
Many homeowners are actually surprised by how quiet their new metal roof is during rain. The solid construction and proper installation techniques we use eliminate the drumming effect that gives metal roofing its noisy reputation.
Metal roofing excels in snow conditions for several reasons. The smooth surface allows snow to slide off naturally, preventing dangerous ice dams that plague asphalt shingle roofs. This self-clearing action reduces structural load and eliminates the need for roof raking.
The interlocking panel design distributes weight evenly across the roof structure. Unlike shingles that can lift or crack under freeze-thaw cycles, metal panels flex slightly with temperature changes without compromising the weather seal.
We engineer every installation to exceed Suffolk County snow load requirements. The combination of material strength and proper structural support means your metal roof handles winter weather better than traditional materials, not worse.
Standing seam metal roofing performs exceptionally well in coastal areas like Shoreham. The raised seams and concealed fasteners prevent water infiltration, while the continuous panels eliminate weak points where salt air can cause problems.
Aluminum and galvalume steel both resist coastal corrosion effectively. Aluminum naturally resists rust, while galvalume steel combines zinc and aluminum coatings for enhanced protection. Both materials handle salt air exposure much better than traditional roofing.
Color selection matters for energy efficiency. Lighter colors reflect more heat, reducing cooling costs during humid summer months. We stock colors specifically chosen for Long Island homes – options that complement local architecture while maximizing performance benefits.
Most residential metal roof installations in Shoreham take 2-5 days, depending on roof size and complexity. Simple ranch homes often complete in 2-3 days, while larger homes with multiple levels or complex features may require 4-5 days.
Weather can affect timing, especially during winter months. We monitor forecasts carefully and adjust schedules to ensure quality installation. Metal roofing installation requires dry conditions for proper sealing and fastening.
If we’re installing over existing shingles (where local codes permit), the project moves faster since we eliminate tear-off time. Complete tear-off projects take an extra day but allow us to inspect and upgrade the roof deck if needed.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections for your Shoreham metal roofing project. Suffolk County requires permits for roof replacement, and we’re familiar with all local requirements.
Our permit applications include detailed plans and specifications that meet current building codes. We schedule inspections at appropriate stages and address any inspector requirements promptly to keep your project on schedule.
Working with local building departments regularly gives us insight into their specific requirements and preferences. This experience helps avoid delays and ensures your project passes inspection the first time, saving you time and potential additional costs.
