You wake up knowing your biggest investment is protected. No more checking the weather forecast with dread or wondering if that next storm will find its way inside.
Your energy bills drop because your new roofing system actually works the way it should. Proper ventilation, quality materials, and expert installation mean your HVAC isn’t fighting a losing battle against heat loss and air leaks.
Most importantly, you have peace of mind. When neighbors are dealing with emergency repairs and insurance claims, you’re sleeping soundly under a roof that was built to handle whatever Suffolk County weather throws at it.
We aren’t just another roofing company. We’re a family legacy that’s been perfecting exterior home improvement in Suffolk County for decades.
We know St. James. We know how the coastal humidity affects different roofing materials, how nor’easters test every seal and flashing, and which products actually hold up to Long Island’s unique climate challenges.
Our team combines old-school craftsmanship with modern techniques because we’ve learned that both matter. When your roof is installed by people who’ve been doing this work for generations, you get results that last.
First, we do a complete assessment of your current roof and structure. Not just the obvious stuff – we check decking, ventilation, and any underlying issues that could cause problems later.
Next comes the full tear-off if needed. We remove everything down to the deck, inspect for damage, and make any necessary repairs before starting fresh. No shortcuts, no layering over problems.
Then we install your new roofing system properly. Quality underlayment, proper flashing around every penetration, and materials that are right for your specific situation. Every step follows manufacturer specifications and local building codes.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through everything we’ve done. You’ll know exactly what you got and how to maintain it for maximum lifespan.

Your roof installation includes complete tear-off of existing materials, inspection and repair of decking as needed, and installation of high-quality underlayment designed for Long Island’s climate.
We handle all flashing work around chimneys, vents, and roof penetrations – the areas where most leaks start. Our team installs proper ventilation systems to prevent ice dams in winter and reduce cooling costs in summer.
In St. James, we see a lot of homes built in the 1960s and 70s that need updated ventilation. Modern roofing systems work differently than what was installed decades ago. We make sure your new roof has the airflow it needs to perform properly and last its full lifespan.
Most residential roof installations in St. James take 2-4 days, depending on the size and complexity of your roof. Weather can extend this timeline, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Single-story ranch homes typically take 2-3 days. Two-story colonials or homes with multiple roof levels usually need 3-4 days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
The key is proper preparation. We order all materials in advance, check weather forecasts, and coordinate our crew schedule so we can work steadily once we start your project.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for good reason – they handle our coastal climate well and offer excellent value. We typically recommend GAF or similar premium brands with wind resistance ratings appropriate for Long Island.
Metal roofing is gaining popularity, especially for homes near the water. It handles salt air better than traditional materials and can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. The upfront cost is higher, but the long-term value often makes sense.
For St. James specifically, we see the best performance from materials designed for high-wind areas and temperature fluctuations. The key is proper installation – even the best materials fail if they’re not installed correctly for local conditions.
Yes, roof replacement in St. James requires a building permit from the Town of Smithtown. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service – you don’t need to deal with the paperwork.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, so we factor this into your project timeline. We submit detailed plans showing the work scope, materials, and any structural modifications needed.
Having proper permits protects you during future home sales and ensures the work meets current building codes. Some insurance companies also require permits for coverage of the new roof, so it’s not optional.
Complete cleanup is included in every roof installation project. We use tarps to protect landscaping and driveways, and magnetic sweepers to pick up any nails or metal debris from your property.
Our crew removes all old roofing materials and debris daily – we don’t let it pile up around your home. Everything goes directly into our trucks for proper disposal, not dumpsters that sit in your driveway for weeks.
We do a final walkthrough with you after completion to make sure your property is cleaner than when we started. Many customers are surprised at how little disruption there actually is when the job is done properly.
Our roof installations come with comprehensive warranty coverage. We provide a workmanship warranty on our installation, plus you get the manufacturer’s material warranty on all roofing products.
For most installations, you’ll have coverage ranging from 10-50 years depending on the materials chosen. We explain all warranty terms upfront so you know exactly what’s covered and for how long.
The key is working with a contractor who’ll be around to honor warranty claims. As a local, established business, we’re here for the long term. We’ve been handling warranty service for customers whose roofs we installed years ago.
Roof installation costs in St. James typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Ranch homes are generally on the lower end, while two-story colonials with multiple roof sections cost more.
Several factors affect pricing: your roof’s square footage, the materials you choose, how many layers need to be removed, and any structural repairs needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs clearly.
The investment makes sense when you consider that a quality roof installation protects your entire home and typically lasts 20-30 years. We offer financing options to help spread the cost over time rather than paying everything upfront.
