Your roof stops being a worry when it’s built right the first time. Metal roofing in Suffolk County means sleeping soundly during nor’easters, watching your energy bills drop, and never dealing with another roof replacement in your lifetime.
The math is simple: while you’re replacing asphalt shingles every 15-20 years, your metal roof keeps performing. No more emergency calls during storms. No more ceiling stains from leaks. No more watching your neighbors scramble for contractors after every major weather event.
You get a roof that actually reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your home cooler in summer and reducing strain on your HVAC system. That’s real money back in your pocket, month after month.
We’ve been protecting Suffolk County homes with expert metal roofing installations for years. We’re not a franchise or fly-by-night operation—we’re your neighbors, licensed and insured, with deep roots in this community.
We understand Long Island weather. We know how nor’easters, summer storms, and coastal conditions affect your roof. That’s why we spec every metal roofing system specifically for Suffolk County’s climate, using materials and installation techniques that handle everything from hurricane-force winds to heavy snow loads.
When you call us, you’re working with certified technicians who’ve seen it all and know how to build roofs that last. No surprises, no corners cut, no hoping your roof holds up—just solid craftsmanship backed by real warranties.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof and property. Our team examines everything—roof deck condition, structural integrity, ventilation needs, and any unique challenges your home presents. You get a detailed assessment before any work begins.
Next comes material selection and project planning. We walk you through metal roofing options that fit your budget, style preferences, and performance needs. Standing seam, metal shingles, different gauges and finishes—we explain what works best for your specific situation without the sales pressure.
Installation happens with precision and care. We handle permits, protect your property, and complete the work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards. Our crew cleans up completely when finished, and we walk through everything with you to ensure you’re completely satisfied with your new metal roof.

Your metal roofing project includes everything needed for decades of reliable performance. We provide full tear-off and disposal of existing materials, roof deck inspection and repairs as needed, proper underlayment installation, and precision metal panel installation with all necessary flashing and trim work.
Suffolk County’s coastal location demands specific attention to wind resistance and moisture protection. We install interlocking metal panels rated for hurricane-force winds, use marine-grade fasteners that won’t corrode, and ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup that can damage even the best roofing systems.
Every installation includes comprehensive cleanup, final inspection, and detailed maintenance guidelines. You’ll know exactly how to keep your metal roof performing at its best, though honestly, there’s not much to it—occasional cleaning and annual inspections are about all you’ll need for the next 40-70 years.
Metal roofing in Suffolk County typically costs $10-16 per square foot installed, compared to $5-9 for asphalt shingles. For an average 1,500 square foot roof, you’re looking at $15,000-24,000 for metal versus $7,500-13,500 for asphalt.
Here’s the real story: while metal costs more upfront, you’ll likely replace an asphalt roof 2-3 times over the lifespan of one metal roof. Factor in energy savings of 10-25% on cooling costs, potential insurance discounts, and increased home value, and metal roofing often costs less over time. Most of our Suffolk County customers see the investment pay for itself within 15-20 years, then enjoy decades of free protection.
Metal roofing is specifically engineered for severe weather conditions like those we see in Suffolk County. Properly installed metal roofs can withstand wind speeds up to 140 mph, well above typical hurricane-force winds. The interlocking panel design creates a continuous barrier that won’t lift or separate like individual shingles.
During nor’easters and coastal storms, metal roofs actually perform better than traditional materials. They shed snow quickly, preventing ice dam formation. They’re impact-resistant against hail and flying debris. And unlike asphalt shingles that can blow off in high winds, metal panels are mechanically fastened to your roof deck with corrosion-resistant fasteners designed for marine environments.
We’ve seen metal roofs in Suffolk County come through major storms without a single issue while neighboring homes with asphalt shingles needed emergency repairs.
Most residential metal roof installations in Stony Brook take 2-5 days, depending on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple ranch homes might be completed in 2 days, while larger or more complex roofs with multiple levels, dormers, or architectural features may take up to a week.
We work efficiently but never rush quality. The tear-off and prep work typically takes one full day. Metal panel installation usually requires 1-3 days depending on your roof’s square footage and complexity. Final trim work, cleanup, and inspection add another half day. Weather delays can extend the timeline, but we protect your home with tarps if needed and only work in safe conditions.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated throughout the project so you know exactly what to expect.
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials, even in Suffolk County’s challenging coastal environment. Annual visual inspections are recommended, ideally in spring and fall, to check for any loose fasteners, damaged panels, or debris accumulation in gutters.
Occasional cleaning helps maintain appearance and performance. You can rinse the roof with a garden hose from the ground to remove salt, leaves, and other debris. Avoid pressure washing or walking on the roof unnecessarily. Check and clean gutters regularly, as proper drainage is crucial for any roofing system.
Professional inspection every 3-5 years ensures everything stays in top condition. We check fasteners, sealants, flashing, and overall system integrity. Most issues we find are minor and easily addressed. With proper installation and minimal maintenance, your metal roof should provide decades of trouble-free performance in Suffolk County’s climate.
While some metal roofing can be installed over existing asphalt shingles, we typically recommend complete tear-off for best results, especially in Suffolk County where weather conditions are demanding. Installing over existing shingles might save money initially, but it can create problems down the road.
Tear-off allows us to inspect your roof deck for damage, ensure proper ventilation, and install new underlayment for maximum weather protection. This is particularly important in coastal areas where moisture and wind-driven rain can find any weakness in the roofing system. We can also verify that your roof structure can handle the metal roofing load and make any necessary reinforcements.
When we do install over existing shingles, it’s only on roofs in excellent condition with a single layer of shingles and solid decking underneath. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term performance and value.
Metal roofing typically increases home value in Suffolk County, with many homeowners seeing returns of 70-85% of their investment at resale. The exact increase depends on your home’s current condition, the local market, and the quality of installation, but metal roofs are viewed favorably by both appraisers and buyers.
Buyers appreciate the longevity, energy efficiency, and low maintenance requirements of metal roofing. In a market where many homes need roof replacement within a few years, having a new metal roof that’s good for decades is a significant selling point. Insurance companies often offer discounts for metal roofing due to its superior weather resistance and fire protection.
The energy efficiency benefits also appeal to today’s buyers who are conscious of utility costs and environmental impact. A metal roof that reduces cooling costs by 10-25% is attractive in Suffolk County’s climate where air conditioning costs can be substantial during summer months.
