Your roof stops being a worry. Metal roofing means no more frequent repairs, no more wondering if your roof can handle the next storm, and no more high energy bills from poor insulation.
You get a roof that lasts 40 to 70 years instead of 20. You get energy savings that show up in your utility bills every month. You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is protected by materials designed to withstand Suffolk County’s heavy rains, strong winds, and severe weather.
Metal roofing reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your home cooler in summer and reducing the strain on your HVAC system. It’s fire-resistant, environmentally friendly, and increases your home’s resale value significantly compared to traditional asphalt shingles.
SkyLuxe Construction is a family-run business with deep roots in Suffolk County. We understand the unique challenges that Long Island weather presents to your roof, and we’ve built our reputation on delivering solutions that actually work.
Our owner, Al, personally inspects every job to ensure the work meets our standards. We’ve been serving homeowners throughout Suffolk County for years, and our approach is straightforward: use quality materials, do the work right, and stand behind what we do.
We’re not the biggest roofing company, but we’re the one that shows up when we say we will, does what we promise, and treats your home like it’s our own. That’s how we’ve built lasting relationships with homeowners throughout Terryville and the surrounding communities.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof and an honest assessment of what needs to be done. No surprises, no hidden costs. You’ll know exactly what the project involves before we begin.
The installation begins with proper preparation. We strip the old roofing down to the wooden decking and replace any damaged wood. Then we install a complete weather protection system including roof deck protection, leak barriers, and proper ventilation.
Your new metal roofing system is installed using materials specifically chosen for Suffolk County’s climate. We use fasteners designed for metal roofing and ensure every seam is properly sealed. The process typically takes a few days depending on your roof’s size and complexity, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

Suffolk County weather is tough on roofs. Heavy snow loads, strong coastal winds, and severe storms demand roofing materials that can handle the pressure. Metal roofing is specifically designed for these conditions.
In our area, metal roofs consistently outperform traditional materials. They shed snow and ice more effectively, resist wind uplift better than shingles, and won’t crack or curl from temperature changes. When storms hit, metal roofing stays put while other materials fail.
The energy efficiency benefits are particularly valuable on Long Island where cooling costs can be significant. Metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it, reducing your home’s cooling load during hot summers. Many of our customers see noticeable reductions in their energy bills within the first year.
Metal roofing in Suffolk County typically costs between $10 and $16 per square foot installed. For an average 1,500 square foot home, you’re looking at approximately $15,000 to $24,000 for a complete metal roof replacement.
The exact cost depends on several factors: the type of metal you choose, your roof’s complexity, and any additional features like skylights or chimneys. Steel roofing is the most cost-effective option, while copper and zinc are premium choices that cost more upfront but offer exceptional longevity.
While metal roofing costs more initially than asphalt shingles, it’s important to consider the long-term value. Metal roofs last 40 to 70 years compared to 20 to 30 years for asphalt, and the energy savings add up significantly over time.
Metal roofing in Suffolk County typically lasts 40 to 70 years with proper installation and maintenance. This is significantly longer than asphalt shingles, which usually need replacement every 20 to 30 years in our climate.
The longevity depends on the type of metal and the quality of installation. Steel roofing with proper coatings can last 40 to 50 years, while copper and zinc roofs can exceed 70 years. Our coastal environment with salt air and severe weather actually favors metal roofing because it resists corrosion better than many other materials.
Regular maintenance helps maximize lifespan, but metal roofs require much less maintenance than traditional roofing materials. No worries about missing shingles after storms, no granule loss in gutters, and no concerns about rot or pest damage.
Metal roofing is highly energy efficient, especially in our Long Island climate. Metal roofs reflect solar heat instead of absorbing it, which can reduce cooling costs by 10 to 25 percent during hot summers.
The reflective properties of metal roofing mean your attic stays cooler, reducing the workload on your air conditioning system. Many metal roofing systems are Energy Star rated and qualify for energy efficiency rebates and tax credits.
In winter, metal roofing also provides benefits. It sheds snow and ice more effectively than other materials, preventing ice dams that can cause leaks and damage. The thermal properties help maintain more consistent indoor temperatures year-round.
Metal roofing is specifically designed to handle severe weather conditions like those common in Suffolk County. Properly installed metal roofs can withstand winds up to 140 mph and are highly resistant to hail damage.
The interlocking panel design and secure fastening systems make metal roofing much more wind-resistant than traditional shingles. During coastal storms and nor’easters, metal roofs stay intact while other roofing materials often suffer damage from wind uplift and flying debris.
Metal roofing is also fire-resistant, which provides additional protection during dry conditions. The material won’t ignite from sparks or embers, making it a safer choice for homes in areas where wildfire risk exists.
For Terryville and Suffolk County homes, steel and aluminum are the most popular and practical metal roofing choices. Steel roofing offers excellent strength and affordability, while aluminum provides superior corrosion resistance in our coastal environment.
Standing seam metal roofing is particularly well-suited for our area because the raised seams provide excellent water-tightness and the sleek design handles snow and ice effectively. Corrugated metal is another good option for certain architectural styles and offers cost savings.
Copper roofing is a premium choice that develops a distinctive patina over time and can last over 100 years, but it comes with a higher upfront cost. The choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and how long you plan to stay in your home.
Several signs indicate it’s time for roof replacement in Suffolk County. Look for damaged or missing shingles, frequent leaks, granules accumulating in your gutters, or visible sagging areas on your roof.
Inside your home, check for water stains on ceilings or walls, especially after storms. If you’re finding granules from asphalt shingles in your gutters regularly, or if your roof is approaching 20 years old, it’s time for a professional inspection.
Age is a major factor. Most asphalt roofs in our climate need replacement between 20 and 25 years due to the freeze-thaw cycles, coastal conditions, and severe weather we experience. If you’re facing multiple repairs or your energy bills have increased significantly, replacement often makes more financial sense than continued repairs.
