You’ll have a roof that actually protects your home for decades, not just covers it. No more wondering if the next storm will find that weak spot. No more emergency calls or surprise leaks during heavy rain.
Your new roof handles everything Long Island weather throws at it—from nor’easters to summer storms. The materials we install are built for Suffolk County’s coastal conditions, not some generic solution that works “everywhere.”
Most importantly, you’ll know exactly what you paid for and why. Every shingle, every piece of flashing, every step of the process explained clearly before we start.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t some fly-by-night operation that showed up after the last big storm. We’re a family business that’s been serving Suffolk County homeowners for years, and we’ll be here long after your roof is installed.
We know Centerport homes. Many were built in the 1950s and 60s, which means the roofs are hitting that 20-25 year mark where replacement makes more sense than patching. We’ve worked on everything from the classic colonials near Centerport Harbor to the ranch homes inland.
When you call us, you’re talking to people who understand what coastal weather does to roofs. We’ve seen the damage from Hurricane Sandy, the ice storms, and those brutal nor’easters that seem to find every loose shingle.
First, we inspect your current roof and give you a written estimate with no hidden costs. You’ll know exactly what needs to be torn off, what’s staying, and what’s going on top.
On installation day, we protect your property with tarps and remove the old roofing down to the deck. We inspect the sheathing for any damage—if we find soft spots or rot, we’ll show you exactly what needs repair before moving forward.
Then we install new underlayment, flashing, and shingles using proper Suffolk County techniques for coastal conditions. Everything gets cleaned up the same day, and you get photos of the completed work. Most residential roof replacements in Centerport take 1-2 days depending on size and complexity.

Your roof replacement includes complete tear-off of existing materials, disposal of all debris, and installation of new underlayment, flashing, and shingles. We don’t cut corners by roofing over existing layers—that’s a recipe for problems down the road.
In Centerport’s coastal environment, proper ventilation is critical. We install ridge vents and soffit vents to prevent ice dams and moisture buildup that can destroy a roof from the inside. Many older homes here lack adequate ventilation, so this often means upgrading what was originally installed.
We also handle the permits and inspections required by Suffolk County. The building department has specific requirements for coastal areas, and we make sure everything meets or exceeds local codes. You don’t have to worry about paperwork or scheduling inspectors.
Roof replacement costs in Centerport typically range from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on your home’s size, the materials you choose, and the complexity of the job. A basic asphalt shingle replacement on a 1,500 square foot ranch might run $12,000-15,000, while a larger colonial with multiple angles and features could be $20,000 or more.
The price includes complete tear-off, disposal, new underlayment, flashing, shingles, and cleanup. We give you a detailed written estimate that breaks down material and labor costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges for “extras” that should have been included from the start.
Keep in mind that cheaper isn’t always better. We’ve seen too many homeowners get burned by contractors who lowball the estimate then hit them with change orders once the job starts.
Most residential roof replacements in Centerport take 1-2 days for the actual installation work. A straightforward ranch home with good access can often be completed in one day, while larger homes or those with multiple levels, dormers, or complex rooflines might take two days.
Weather is the biggest variable. We don’t install roofing in rain or high winds, so storms can push the schedule back. During busy season (spring and fall), there might be a few weeks between when you sign the contract and when we start work.
The key is proper preparation. We order all materials in advance, schedule the dumpster delivery, and make sure our crew is ready to work efficiently. You won’t have a half-finished roof sitting exposed to the weather.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for Centerport homes, and for good reason. They handle the coastal weather well, come in colors that complement local architectural styles, and offer good value for the money. Most quality architectural shingles last 25-30 years in our climate.
For homeowners who want maximum longevity, metal roofing is worth considering. It costs more upfront but can last 50+ years and handles high winds better than shingles. The downside is limited color options and higher replacement cost if individual panels get damaged.
We don’t recommend three-tab shingles for coastal areas. They’re cheaper initially, but the thinner profile makes them more susceptible to wind damage. Given how often we get storms with 40+ mph winds, the extra cost of architectural shingles is worth it.
Yes, Suffolk County requires permits for roof replacements, and we handle all the paperwork for you. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks and costs around $200-400 depending on your home’s size. Some homeowners try to skip this step to save money, but it’s not worth the risk.
The building inspector will check that the work meets local codes, especially for wind resistance and ventilation requirements. Centerport is in a high-wind zone due to its coastal location, so there are specific standards for shingle installation and flashing details.
If you ever sell your home, buyers’ inspectors will look for permit records on major work like roofing. Missing permits can create problems during the sale process and potentially affect your insurance coverage if there’s a claim.
If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re dealing with multiple leaks, missing shingles, or granule loss, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. We see a lot of Centerport homes where the roof looks okay from the ground, but up close the shingles are curling, cracked, or losing their protective granules.
Age is the biggest factor. Most asphalt shingles in our climate start failing around the 20-25 year mark. If you’re constantly calling for repairs, those costs add up quickly and you’re just postponing the inevitable. A new roof gives you decades of protection instead of hoping the patches hold through the next storm.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during the inspection. Sometimes a roof that looks terrible from the street just needs a few repairs, while others that look fine are actually near the end of their useful life. We’re not in the business of selling unnecessary work.
We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t start a tear-off if rain is expected within 24 hours. If unexpected weather hits during the job, we have tarps and emergency covering materials to protect your home. Our crew is experienced at quickly securing exposed areas.
The worst-case scenario is getting caught by a sudden thunderstorm, but even then we can usually get critical areas covered within 15-20 minutes. We’ve been doing this long enough to know which parts of the roof to prioritize and how to minimize any potential water intrusion.
Most weather delays just push the job back a day or two. We’d rather wait for good conditions than rush through installation in marginal weather. A properly installed roof in dry conditions will serve you better than one installed in a hurry between rain showers.
