Hear from Our Customers
You get a roof that stands up to what Shelter Island throws at it. Salt air, high winds, heavy storms – we’ve seen it all, and we know exactly what materials and techniques work in this environment.
Your new roof means no more worrying about leaks during the next big storm. No more wondering if your contractor understood what coastal conditions really do to roofing materials. Just solid protection that keeps your family dry and your investment secure.
The difference is in the details – marine-grade materials, proper underlayment, and installation techniques that account for the unique challenges of waterfront living.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another roofing company – we’re a family legacy built on Suffolk County foundations. For decades, we’ve been the contractors Shelter Island homeowners call when they need exterior work done right.
We understand what makes this area different. The salt air that eats through standard materials. The wind patterns that test every fastener. The storms that separate quality work from corner-cutting.
Every project gets personal oversight because our family name is on every job. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, but more importantly, we’re your neighbors who’ll be here long after the work is done.
We start with a complete inspection of your current roof, giving you a transparent assessment of what needs to happen and why. No hidden costs or surprise discoveries halfway through the job.
Next, we source coastal-grade materials specifically chosen for Shelter Island’s conditions. This means architectural-grade shingles with enhanced granules, marine-grade sealants, and fastening systems rated for high winds.
Installation follows strict protocols – proper underlayment, enhanced fastening patterns, and sealed penetrations that create multiple barriers against water intrusion. We treat every roof like it needs to survive the next hurricane, because it might.

Your roof installation includes everything needed for long-term performance in this coastal environment. We use materials engineered to resist salt air corrosion, UV degradation, and the thermal cycling that comes with waterfront living.
Shelter Island homes face unique challenges – higher wind loads from open water, salt spray that accelerates material breakdown, and storm patterns that test every component. Our installations account for all of this.
You get enhanced fastening systems, proper ventilation that prevents moisture buildup, and ice and water shield protection in critical areas. Every component is chosen for durability, not just initial cost, because we know what happens to cheap materials out here.
Most residential roof installations take 2-4 days, depending on the size of your roof, weather conditions, and material choice. We provide a detailed timeline before starting work, and we communicate immediately if weather causes any delays.
If we can’t finish due to weather, we make sure your home is completely protected with temporary coverings until conditions improve. Shelter Island weather doesn’t wait for convenient timing, so we plan for contingencies from day one.
The key is proper preparation and having backup plans ready. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that coastal weather can change quickly, and we never leave a home exposed.
Coastal-grade materials are essential for Shelter Island installations. We use architectural-grade asphalt shingles with enhanced granules that resist algae growth and UV degradation, or composite materials engineered specifically for marine environments.
Standard materials that work fine inland fail quickly here due to salt air exposure and higher wind loads. The upfront cost difference is significant, but the long-term savings are even more significant when you’re not replacing your roof every 15 years.
Metal roofing is another excellent option – our systems are tested for winds up to 120 mph and installed according to high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. The key is avoiding anything that wasn’t designed for the conditions your roof will actually face.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and help document damage for claims. Our experience with insurance processes helps ensure you get fair coverage for necessary repairs and replacements.
We know what adjusters look for and how to present damage documentation that supports your claim. This includes proper photos, detailed damage assessments, and material specifications that justify the scope of work needed.
The goal is to make the insurance process as smooth as possible while ensuring you get the coverage you deserve. We’ve handled hundreds of insurance claims over the years, so we know how to navigate the process effectively.
Most Shelter Island homes need roof replacement every 20-30 years, depending on the material quality and how well it’s maintained. The coastal environment accelerates wear compared to inland areas because of salt air exposure and more frequent storms.
Quality materials and proper installation extend this timeline significantly. Cheap materials might need replacement in 15 years or less, while premium coastal-grade systems can last 30+ years with proper maintenance.
Regular inspections help catch small issues before they become major problems. We recommend annual inspections and post-storm checks to ensure your roof stays in optimal condition throughout its lifespan.
Yes, we’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured for all roofing work in Suffolk County. This isn’t just about meeting requirements – it’s about protecting you and ensuring the work is done to professional standards.
Our licensing means we’re up to date on all local building codes and requirements specific to Shelter Island and Suffolk County. Our insurance protects both our workers and your property during the installation process.
We provide proof of licensing and insurance before starting any work. This is basic professionalism, but it’s worth verifying with any contractor you’re considering because not everyone operates at this level.
We specialize specifically in coastal conditions and have decades of experience with what works and what fails on Shelter Island. This isn’t theoretical knowledge – it’s practical experience gained from fixing other contractors’ mistakes and seeing what lasts.
Every installation gets personal oversight from our family team. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern materials and techniques, ensuring your roof is built to handle whatever Shelter Island weather brings.
Our no-leak guarantee backs up our work, and we’re local enough that you can find us if you need us. We’re not the guys who disappear after the first storm – we’re the contractors who show up early, stay late when needed, and stand behind every roof we install.
