When your roof installation is done right, you stop worrying about leaks during storms. You stop dealing with water damage, mold concerns, and emergency repairs that drain your budget and disrupt your life.
A properly installed roof means your home stays dry during Wading River’s harsh winters and humid summers. Your energy bills stay predictable because your home maintains consistent temperature control.
You get peace of mind knowing your family and belongings are protected by a roofing system designed to handle Long Island’s coastal weather conditions for decades to come.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another roofing company – we’re a family legacy built in Suffolk County. We understand what Wading River homeowners face because we’ve been here through Hurricane Sandy, nor’easters, and everything nature throws at Long Island’s North Shore.
Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques. Every project gets personal oversight because your home’s protection matters to us.
We know the local building codes, understand how coastal conditions affect roofing materials, and use installation methods proven to last in our unique climate.
Your roof installation starts with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure. We check the decking, assess any damage, and explain exactly what we find – no upselling, just honest assessment.
Next, we remove old materials completely. This isn’t about taking shortcuts – we strip everything down to inspect the wooden decking and replace any damaged sections. Quality installation requires a solid foundation.
Then we install your new roofing system using a comprehensive approach: roof deck protection, leak barriers, starter strips, shingles, proper ventilation, and ridge caps. Each step follows manufacturer specifications and local building codes to ensure your warranty stays valid and your roof performs as designed.

Your roof installation includes more than just shingles. We provide a complete seven-part weather protection system designed specifically for Long Island’s climate challenges.
In Wading River, coastal conditions create unique demands on roofing systems. Salt air accelerates deterioration of standard materials, while temperature swings from ocean breezes cause expansion and contraction that can compromise inferior installations.
We use materials rated for coastal environments and installation techniques that account for these local conditions. Your roof gets proper flashing around chimneys and penetrations, adequate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, and shingles designed to withstand winds up to 130 mph – critical protection given our area’s storm history.
Most residential roof installations take 1-3 days depending on your home’s size and complexity. Weather conditions can affect timing – we don’t install during storms or high winds for safety and quality reasons.
Simple ranch homes often complete in one day, while larger or more complex roof lines may take up to three days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if weather delays occur.
The key is doing the job right, not fast. Rushing roof installation leads to problems later, so we focus on proper installation techniques that ensure your roof lasts decades.
We always recommend complete tear-off for roof installations. While New York building code allows up to two layers, installing over existing materials cuts your new roof’s life by up to 20% and voids most wind warranties.
Tear-off lets us inspect your roof decking for damage, replace any rotted sections, and install proper underlayment. We often find issues hidden under old shingles – water damage, inadequate ventilation, or structural problems that layover installation would miss.
Yes, tear-off costs more upfront, but you get a roof system that lasts longer and performs better. Most importantly, you know exactly what’s under your new roof instead of gambling on hidden problems.
Architectural asphalt shingles with algae resistance work well for most Wading River homes. These shingles resist the algae growth common in our humid coastal climate and provide good wind resistance.
For areas with high wind exposure, we recommend shingles rated for 130 mph winds with advanced adhesive seals. Impact-resistant shingles make sense if you’re in a hail-prone area or want maximum storm protection.
Metal roofing is another excellent option for coastal areas – it resists salt air corrosion, reflects heat to reduce cooling costs, and provides superior wind resistance. We’ll assess your specific location, home style, and budget to recommend the best material for your situation.
Age is the biggest factor – asphalt shingles typically last 20-25 years in Long Island’s climate. If your roof is approaching or past this age, replacement usually makes more financial sense than major repairs.
Multiple leak locations, widespread shingle damage, or visible sagging indicate replacement needs. Granule loss, cracked or curling shingles, and missing shingles in several areas also point toward replacement.
We provide honest assessments during our inspections. Sometimes a roof that looks bad from the ground just needs targeted repairs. Other times, roofs that look decent have underlying problems requiring replacement. We’ll show you exactly what we find and explain your options clearly.
Our roof installations come with comprehensive warranty coverage including both materials and workmanship protection. Material warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from 25-50 years depending on the shingles you choose.
Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for multiple years after completion. This includes problems with flashing, ventilation, or any installation-related concerns that arise.
We also help coordinate manufacturer warranty claims if material defects occur. Having a local contractor who stands behind their work means you have someone to call if issues arise, not just a phone number for a distant corporate office.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies on storm damage claims. We can meet with your adjuster, provide detailed damage assessments, and help ensure all necessary work gets approved.
Our experience with insurance claims helps homeowners navigate the process smoothly. We document damage thoroughly, provide accurate estimates, and communicate directly with adjusters to avoid delays.
Storm damage claims can be complex, especially when wind damage isn’t immediately obvious or when multiple components need replacement. We help identify all covered damage and ensure your claim covers everything needed for proper roof restoration, not just obvious repairs.
