Your roof takes a beating from Long Island weather. Heavy storms, ice, wind gusts that rattle windows—you need something that won’t give up after 15 years like those old asphalt shingles.
Metal roofing handles what Suffolk County throws at it. We’re talking 40 to 70 years of protection, not the 20 you might get from traditional materials. Your cooling bills drop because metal reflects heat instead of soaking it up like a sponge.
When your neighbors are calling roofers for the third time in a decade, you’ll be enjoying a roof that’s barely getting started.
We’ve been handling roofing projects across Suffolk County for years. We’re not some fly-by-night crew that shows up after storms—we’re local, licensed, and we understand what works in this climate.
Sound Beach homes face unique challenges. Salt air, nor’easters, summer heat that bakes everything. We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners or use materials that aren’t built for Long Island conditions.
Every metal roof we install comes with proper warranties and the kind of workmanship that keeps families dry and comfortable for decades, not just until the next big storm hits.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current roof structure. No guesswork—we need to see what we’re working with before giving you a real estimate.
Next comes the tear-off if needed, though sometimes metal can go right over existing shingles if everything checks out. We install proper underlayment, then the metal panels with fasteners designed specifically for Long Island’s weather patterns.
The whole process typically takes 2-3 days for most Sound Beach homes. We clean up completely each day and keep you informed about progress. When we’re done, you’ll have a roof that’s built to handle whatever nature sends your way.

Sound Beach sits right in the path of some serious weather. Your roof needs to handle 80+ mph winds, driving rain, and the kind of temperature swings that make lesser materials crack and fail.
Metal roofing gives you fire resistance that’s especially valuable in areas where utility lines run close to homes. The interlocking panels create a barrier that keeps water out even when winds are trying to drive rain sideways.
Energy savings add up fast on Long Island where summer cooling costs can hit $300+ monthly. Metal reflects heat instead of absorbing it, which means your AC isn’t working overtime to keep up. Many homeowners see 15-25% reductions in cooling costs the first summer after installation.
Metal roofing typically runs $10-16 per square foot installed, which translates to roughly $15,000-24,000 for an average 1,500 square foot home in Sound Beach. The final cost depends on your roof’s complexity, the specific metal type you choose, and whether we need to do structural work.
Yes, it’s more upfront than asphalt shingles. But when you factor in that metal lasts 40-70 years versus 20 for asphalt, plus the energy savings and increased home value, the numbers work out in your favor. Most homeowners break even within 10-15 years and then enjoy decades of savings.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
This is the most common concern we hear, and it’s based on old metal roofs from decades ago. Modern metal roofing with proper underlayment and installation is actually quieter than you’d expect.
The key is in the installation. We use solid sheathing and quality underlayment that dampens sound significantly. Most homeowners are surprised that they can barely hear rain on their new metal roof, even during heavy downpours.
If noise is still a concern, we can add extra insulation during installation. But honestly, most of our Sound Beach customers find their metal roofs are quieter than their old asphalt shingles were, especially during hail storms.
Quality metal roofing typically lasts 40-70 years in Suffolk County, sometimes longer with proper maintenance. Compare that to asphalt shingles which usually need replacement every 20-25 years, and you’re looking at installing two or three traditional roofs in the time one metal roof serves you.
The coastal environment here is tough on roofing materials, but modern metal roofing is specifically designed for it. We use materials with protective coatings that resist salt air corrosion, and the panels are engineered to handle thermal expansion from our temperature swings.
Regular maintenance means cleaning gutters and checking for loose fasteners annually. That’s it. No replacing damaged shingles every few years or worrying about granule loss.
Metal roofing is actually one of the best choices for severe weather protection. The interlocking panels create a continuous barrier that can handle wind speeds well over 100 mph when properly installed.
Unlike shingles that can blow off individually, metal roofing systems are designed to work as one unit. The panels are mechanically fastened to your roof structure, not just glued down with adhesive strips that fail when winds get serious.
We’ve seen metal roofs come through major storms with zero damage while nearby homes with traditional roofing needed emergency repairs. The investment in metal roofing often pays for itself the first time a major storm hits Sound Beach.
Metal roofing reflects solar heat rather than absorbing it like asphalt shingles do. This means your attic stays cooler, which means your air conditioning doesn’t have to work as hard during those brutal Long Island summers.
Most homeowners see cooling cost reductions of 10-25% after switching to metal roofing. On a typical summer electric bill of $250-300, that’s $25-75 in monthly savings. Over the life of the roof, that’s thousands of dollars back in your pocket.
Asphalt shingles actually absorb heat and transfer it into your home. Dark shingles can reach temperatures over 150°F on hot days, turning your roof into a giant heat source that your AC has to fight against.
Most metal roof installations in Sound Beach require building permits, especially if we’re doing a complete tear-off and replacement. The good news is we handle all the permit paperwork for you as part of our service.
Suffolk County has specific requirements for roofing work, including wind load calculations and proper fastening schedules. We know these requirements inside and out and make sure every installation meets or exceeds local building codes.
The permit process typically adds 1-2 weeks to project timelines, but it’s essential for ensuring your roof is properly installed and your homeowner’s insurance remains valid. We coordinate with local inspectors to schedule required inspections so there are no delays in your project.
