Your biggest worry shouldn’t be whether your roof will survive the next nor’easter. When we install your new roof, you get decades of protection engineered specifically for Suffolk County’s punishing weather—from brutal winter ice dams to summer heat that cracks inferior shingles.
You’ll wake up confident your family stays dry, your belongings stay protected, and your home value stays strong. No more strategically placed buckets during storms or lying awake wondering if this is the year your aging roof finally gives out.
The peace of mind starts the day we finish. Your neighbors will notice the difference immediately, but more importantly, you’ll feel it every time dark clouds roll in and your home stands rock-solid.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t some outfit that showed up last week with a truck and a ladder. We’re a family business with decades of Suffolk County roofing experience, and we understand what actually works in Islip Terrace because we’ve been protecting homes here through countless storms.
We’re fully licensed, completely insured, and we know the local building codes better than most inspectors. More importantly, we understand how Long Island’s coastal weather destroys poorly installed roofs and exactly how to build yours to handle whatever nature unleashes.
When you work with us, you’re getting three generations of hard-earned roofing knowledge applied to your specific home. We treat every installation like it’s going on our own house because in a tight community like ours, our reputation travels faster than storm damage.
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your existing roof and attic space—not a five-minute glance from the driveway. You’ll receive a detailed written estimate that breaks down exactly what needs to happen and what it costs, with no hidden fees or surprise charges waiting to ambush you later.
Once we begin, we strip everything down to the deck and thoroughly inspect the underlying structure. If we discover issues with your roof decking, framing, or ventilation, we’ll discuss your options before moving forward. We never just slap new shingles over existing problems and hope for the best.
Installation day means professional crews who arrive on time, work efficiently, and clean up completely. Most residential roofs get finished in one to two days, weather permitting. You’ll receive progress updates throughout the process and a comprehensive final walkthrough to ensure everything meets both our standards and yours.

Your roof installation includes everything necessary for long-term protection: premium underlayment, proper ventilation systems, quality shingles or roofing material, and professional flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys. We don’t cut corners on the components you can’t see because those are often what fail first.
In Suffolk County, we battle ice dams, driving rain from nor’easters, and temperature swings that destroy poorly installed roofs within years instead of decades. That’s why we use materials specifically rated for our coastal climate and install them according to manufacturer specifications—not shortcuts that save time but cost you thousands later.
Every installation includes our comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. We stand behind our work because we know it’s engineered to last. Your roof will protect your family for decades, not just until the next major storm tests its limits.
Roof installation costs in Islip Terrace typically range from $8,000 to $18,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. A standard 1,500 square foot asphalt shingle roof usually runs $10,500 to $13,500 including complete removal of old materials and proper disposal.
Several factors directly affect your final investment: roof size and pitch complexity, choice of materials, number of chimneys or skylights requiring flashing, and the condition of existing decking underneath. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront—no surprises or change orders later.
Metal roofing costs more initially but delivers superior longevity—expect $15,000 to $25,000 for the same size roof. The investment pays off through decades of durability, lower maintenance costs, and better energy efficiency that reduces cooling bills.
Most residential roof installations in Suffolk County take one to two working days for complete installation. Simple ranch homes often get finished in a single day, while complex rooflines with multiple levels, dormers, or architectural features may require two full days.
Weather plays the determining role in actual timing. We won’t start or continue work in rain, high winds, or icy conditions—your safety and the quality of installation matter more than rushing to meet arbitrary deadlines. Spring through fall offers the most reliable weather windows for consistent progress.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our crews arrive early, work efficiently with minimal noise, and clean up completely each day. You’ll have a completely weather-tight roof before we leave each evening, so you’re never exposed to the elements overnight.
Architectural asphalt shingles perform exceptionally well in Suffolk County’s challenging climate and offer the best overall value for most homeowners. They handle dramatic temperature swings, resist wind uplift from coastal storms, and come with manufacturer warranties extending 30 years or more.
Metal roofing excels in our coastal environment—it won’t rot from humidity, resists hurricane-force winds, and reflects summer heat to dramatically lower cooling costs. Standing seam metal roofs can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance, making them worth the higher upfront investment for long-term homeowners.
For premium installations, synthetic slate or cedar shake materials offer traditional aesthetic appeal with modern durability advantages. They resist moisture penetration, insect damage, and fire better than natural materials while maintaining the classic appearance that enhances home value.
Yes, roof installation in Islip Terrace requires building permits from the Town of Islip building department. The permit process ensures your new roof meets current building codes and safety standards specifically designed for our area’s weather challenges.
We handle all permit applications as part of our comprehensive service. Our team knows local requirements intimately and maintains established relationships with building department staff, which significantly speeds up the approval process. Permit costs typically range from $200 to $500 depending on project scope and complexity.
Never skip permits to save a few hundred dollars—unpermitted work can create serious problems when selling your home and may void your homeowner’s insurance coverage. Proper permits protect you legally and ensure the installation meets safety standards that matter during severe weather events.
Age serves as the primary indicator—most asphalt shingle roofs need replacement after 20-25 years in our harsh coastal climate. If your roof is approaching this age range and showing multiple problem areas, complete replacement usually makes better financial sense than ongoing repair bills.
Look for widespread shingle deterioration: curling edges, visible cracking, or significant granule loss across large roof sections. Missing shingles after storms, daylight visible through roof decking from inside your attic, or multiple leak locations all point toward replacement rather than piecemeal repairs.
We provide completely honest assessments during our free inspections. If your roof has several good years remaining, we’ll tell you exactly that and recommend targeted repairs instead of unnecessary replacement. Our reputation depends on giving you straight answers, not overselling work you don’t need.
Our roof installations include comprehensive warranty protection covering both materials and workmanship. Material warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from 25 to 50 years depending on the specific products you choose for your installation.
Our workmanship warranty covers all installation-related issues for a minimum of 5 years from completion. This includes potential problems with flashing, ventilation, fastening, or any other aspect of the installation process. We stand behind our work because we know it’s completed correctly the first time.
Warranty coverage requires reasonable maintenance and doesn’t cover damage from severe weather events, falling trees, or normal wear beyond the specified coverage period. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered and provide all warranty documentation and manufacturer information when your project reaches completion.
