You’ll sleep better knowing your family is protected from Long Island’s harsh weather. No more buckets catching drips during storms or worrying about water damage to your ceilings and walls.
Your energy bills drop when we install proper insulation and ventilation systems. You’re not heating and cooling the outdoors anymore through an old, inefficient roof.
Your home’s value increases immediately. A new roof is one of the top improvements that buyers notice and appraisers factor into home valuations across Suffolk County.
We’ve been serving Babylon and Suffolk County homeowners with complete exterior home improvements. We understand the unique challenges Long Island homes face from coastal weather, snow loads, and salt air exposure.
You’re working with fully licensed and insured contractors who specialize in residential work. We’re not a jack-of-all-trades company trying to do everything – we focus on what we do best: roofing, siding, gutters, and exterior improvements.
Local homeowners choose us because we understand Babylon’s building codes, permit requirements, and the specific materials that perform best in our climate.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current roof and provide a detailed, written estimate. You’ll know exactly what work needs to be done and what it costs – no surprises or hidden fees.
On installation day, we begin with complete tear-off of your old roofing materials. Everything gets properly disposed of, so you’re not left with a mess in your yard. We protect your landscaping and property throughout the process.
We install new underlayment, flashing, and your chosen roofing materials using manufacturer-approved techniques. Each step is inspected to ensure it meets both building codes and our quality standards. Your project is complete when we’ve cleaned up completely and you’ve approved the final walkthrough.

Your roof replacement includes complete tear-off of existing materials, new underlayment, flashing, and your choice of roofing materials. We handle all disposal and cleanup, so you don’t deal with debris or mess.
Babylon homes benefit from our understanding of local weather patterns. We install proper ventilation systems to prevent ice dams in winter and reduce cooling costs in summer. Your new roof is designed to handle Long Island’s climate challenges.
We work with top-quality materials including asphalt shingles, metal roofing options, and energy-efficient systems. Each installation includes proper flashing around chimneys, skylights, and other roof penetrations – critical details that prevent future leaks.
Roof replacement costs in Babylon typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 for most residential homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Factors that affect your price include the type of shingles you choose, the number of layers being removed, and any structural repairs needed.
A basic asphalt shingle replacement on a 1,500 square foot ranch might cost $12,000-$16,000. Larger colonial homes or those requiring structural work can reach $20,000-$25,000. Premium materials like architectural shingles or metal roofing increase the investment but provide longer-lasting protection.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges after we start the work.
Replace your roof when it’s over 20 years old and showing multiple problem areas. If you’re dealing with frequent leaks, missing or curling shingles, or granule loss across large sections, replacement is more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.
Look for multiple leak points, sagging areas, or daylight visible through the roof boards from your attic. These indicate structural issues that repairs can’t fix. Energy bills that keep climbing despite HVAC maintenance often signal roof insulation and ventilation problems.
In Babylon’s climate, roofs typically last 20-25 years depending on materials and maintenance. If your roof is approaching this age and needs significant repairs, replacement gives you decades of protection instead of temporary fixes.
Most residential roof replacements in Babylon take 2-4 days depending on size, weather, and complexity. A typical ranch home can often be completed in 2 days, while larger colonial homes or those with multiple levels may take 3-4 days.
Weather delays can extend the timeline, but we monitor forecasts carefully and only start when we can work safely and protect your home. Complex roofs with multiple chimneys, skylights, or architectural features require additional time for proper flashing installation.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly we complete the tear-off and installation while maintaining quality standards throughout the process.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and schedule required inspections with Babylon’s building department. Roof replacement requires permits in most Suffolk County municipalities, and we’re familiar with local requirements and building codes.
We submit permit applications before starting work and coordinate with inspectors at the appropriate stages. This ensures your roof replacement meets all local building codes and doesn’t create issues when you sell your home.
The permit and inspection process typically adds 1-2 weeks to the project timeline, but it’s essential for legal compliance and insurance coverage. We factor these requirements into your project schedule from the beginning.
Architectural asphalt shingles perform excellently in Babylon’s climate and offer the best value for most homeowners. They handle wind, snow loads, and temperature fluctuations while providing 25-30 year warranties.
Metal roofing is increasingly popular for its durability and energy efficiency. It sheds snow quickly, resists wind damage, and reflects heat to reduce cooling costs. Metal roofs can last 40-50 years with minimal maintenance.
We avoid basic 3-tab shingles in coastal areas due to wind resistance concerns. The salt air and temperature swings on Long Island require materials designed for harsh weather conditions. We’ll recommend the best options based on your home’s exposure and budget.
We use tarps and plywood to protect landscaping, driveways, and outdoor furniture from falling debris. Magnetic sweepers collect nails and metal debris from your property after each work day.
Your home’s interior is protected with plastic sheeting in the attic space if needed. We work systematically to minimize the time your roof structure is exposed to weather, and we have emergency tarps ready if unexpected weather develops.
All debris goes directly into our dumpster, not scattered around your yard. We perform a thorough cleanup inspection before considering the job complete, ensuring your property looks better than when we arrived.
