Your new metal roof means no more leak worries during nor’easters. No more replacing shingles every few years. No more sky-high cooling bills in summer.
Metal roofing in Wading River gives you 50+ years of protection instead of the typical 20-year asphalt cycle. The aluminum and steel systems we install resist salt air corrosion that destroys other materials on Long Island’s coast.
You’ll see lower energy bills immediately. Metal reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your home cooler without overworking your AC. In winter, the insulation properties help retain warmth, cutting heating costs too.
SkyLuxe Construction has been protecting Suffolk County homes for years. We’re not some fly-by-night operation – we’re your neighbors, licensed and insured right here in the community.
We understand Wading River’s unique challenges. The salt air, the storms rolling in off the Sound, the freeze-thaw cycles that crack lesser materials. That’s why we specialize in coastal-grade metal roofing systems designed for exactly these conditions.
Our family-owned business has built its reputation one roof at a time. We use premium materials, show up when we say we will, and stand behind our work with real warranties that matter.
First, we inspect your existing roof and explain exactly what needs to happen. No confusing jargon or hidden costs – just a clear plan you understand.
Next comes the full roof tear-off if needed. We protect your property, remove old materials properly, and dispose of everything responsibly. Most Wading River homes need complete tear-off to address underlying issues before metal installation.
Then we install your new metal roofing system. This includes proper underlayment, ventilation, and flashing designed for coastal conditions. We test everything before calling the job complete. The whole process typically takes 2-3 days for an average home, weather permitting.

Our metal roofing systems are specifically chosen for Long Island’s coastal environment. We install aluminum and steel panels that resist the salt air corrosion that eats through standard materials.
Standing seam metal roofing is popular here because it handles wind uplift and driving rain better than other systems. The interlocking panels create a continuous barrier that keeps water out even during the worst storms Wading River sees.
We also install above-sheathing ventilation systems that create an air gap between the metal and your roof deck. This reduces summer cooling costs and prevents ice dam formation in winter – both major concerns for Suffolk County homeowners. The system is solar-ready too, so you can add panels later without roof penetrations.
Quality metal roofing systems last 50+ years in coastal Long Island conditions, compared to 20-25 years for asphalt shingles. The aluminum and steel we install resist salt air corrosion that destroys other materials.
Proper installation matters hugely for longevity. We use coastal-grade flashing, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and appropriate underlayment systems. The metal panels themselves carry 30-40 year manufacturer warranties, but the complete system often outlasts that significantly.
Regular maintenance every few years helps maximize lifespan. This mainly involves checking flashing and cleaning gutters – much less intensive than constant shingle replacement and repair cycles.
Metal roofing costs roughly 2-3 times more upfront than asphalt shingles, but pays for itself over time through longevity and energy savings. A typical Wading River home might see $15,000-25,000 for metal versus $8,000-12,000 for asphalt.
The real value comes from avoiding multiple re-roofing cycles. Asphalt needs replacement every 20-25 years, so you’d pay for 2-3 new roofs over the metal roof’s lifespan. Factor in energy savings from better insulation and heat reflection, and metal often costs less long-term.
We provide detailed cost breakdowns during estimates, including energy savings projections based on your specific home and current utility costs.
Modern metal roofing comes in dozens of styles and colors that complement any architectural design. We install systems that mimic slate, clay tile, wood shake, and traditional shingles – but with metal’s superior performance.
Standing seam is popular for contemporary and colonial homes in Wading River. Metal shingle systems work well for Cape Cod and ranch styles. We can match existing colors or help you choose complementary options that enhance your home’s curb appeal.
The key is proper selection and installation. We bring samples to your home so you can see exactly how different options look with your siding, trim, and landscaping before making decisions.
Metal roofing outperforms other materials in severe weather conditions common to Long Island. The interlocking panel systems we install resist wind uplift better than individual shingles that can blow off during storms.
Most metal roofing systems handle winds over 120 mph when properly installed. The continuous surface sheds water effectively during heavy rains, and the material won’t absorb moisture that leads to rot or mold issues.
We use appropriate fastening patterns and structural attachments for coastal wind loads. This includes upgraded flashing systems and reinforced connections at vulnerable areas like ridges and eaves.
Yes, metal roofing significantly reduces cooling costs during Long Island’s hot summers. The reflective surface bounces solar heat away instead of absorbing it like dark asphalt shingles do.
Homeowners typically see 10-25% reductions in summer cooling bills. The exact savings depend on your home’s insulation, HVAC system efficiency, and roof color choice. Lighter colors reflect more heat than darker ones.
We can install above-sheathing ventilation systems that create an air gap between the metal and roof deck. This further reduces heat transfer and can boost energy savings even more, especially important for homes with finished attics or cathedral ceilings.
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials, even in coastal environments. Annual inspections and basic upkeep keep the system performing optimally for decades.
Main maintenance involves checking flashing around penetrations, clearing gutters and downspouts, and removing any debris that accumulates. Salt air can leave deposits that should be rinsed off periodically, but this doesn’t damage the metal itself.
We recommend professional inspections every 2-3 years to catch minor issues before they become problems. This might include tightening fasteners, sealing any gaps, or touching up scratches. Overall maintenance costs are much lower than constant shingle replacement and repair cycles.
