Hear from Our Customers
You get a roof that stops every leak, withstands Suffolk County storms, and adds real value to your property. No more emergency tarps during rainstorms or wondering if water damage is spreading through your walls.
Our full tear-off process means we strip everything down to the deck, replace damaged wood, and build your new roof with premium materials designed for Long Island weather. You’re not just covering up problems—you’re eliminating them completely.
The result is peace of mind that lasts decades, not seasons. Your insurance premiums may even drop with a brand-new roof, and potential buyers will see the value immediately if you ever decide to sell.
We bring decades of exterior renovation experience to every roof replacement in Islip Terrace. We’re not a fly-by-night operation or a company that subcontracts your job to whoever bids lowest.
Every project receives personal oversight from our family team, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern roofing techniques. We understand Suffolk County’s unique weather patterns—from nor’easters to summer storms—and build roofs that handle whatever nature throws at them.
Local homeowners choose us because we show up when we say we will, do exactly what we promise, and stand behind our work long after the last shingle is installed.
First, we inspect your existing roof and provide a detailed assessment of what needs to be done. No surprises, no upselling—just an honest evaluation of your roof’s condition and clear pricing for the work required.
Next comes the complete tear-off. We strip your roof down to the wooden decking, inspect for any damaged or rotted wood, and replace what needs replacing. This isn’t a patch job—it’s a complete foundation rebuild.
Then we install our seven-part weather protection system: roof deck protection, leak barriers, starter strip shingles, premium shingles, proper attic ventilation, ridge cap shingles, and vented soffit. Every component works together to keep water out and your home protected.
The entire process typically takes 1-3 days depending on your roof size and complexity. We handle all permits, cleanup, and disposal of old materials, so you don’t have to worry about anything except enjoying your new roof.

Every roof replacement includes complete material removal, deck inspection and repair, premium underlayment, high-quality shingles rated for Long Island weather, proper ventilation systems, and thorough cleanup. We also handle all permit applications and inspections required by Suffolk County.
In Islip Terrace, most homes benefit from our impact-resistant shingles that handle falling debris and extreme weather with minimal damage. These aren’t the cheapest shingles available—they’re the ones that actually last in our climate.
You also get our workmanship warranty covering installation issues, plus manufacturer warranties on all materials. We use GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning products exclusively because they perform consistently in Suffolk County’s weather conditions.
Our local knowledge makes a difference too. We understand how Islip Terrace homes are built, what building codes require, and how to navigate local permit processes efficiently so your project stays on schedule.
Roof replacement costs in Suffolk County typically range from $5,000 to $15,000 for most homes, with asphalt roofing running $5-9 per square foot. The exact price depends on your roof size, the materials you choose, and the complexity of your roofline.
A standard 1,500 square foot asphalt roof replacement runs around $10,500 including materials and labor. Larger roofs, steep pitches, multiple chimneys, or premium materials will increase the cost. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The investment pays off through eliminated repair costs, lower insurance premiums, increased home value, and decades of leak-free protection. Most homeowners find that financing options make the monthly payment less than they were spending on recurring repairs.
If your roof is older than 15-20 years and experiencing multiple issues, or if it’s reached the 25-year lifespan typical for asphalt roofs, replacement is usually the smarter choice. Repeatedly repairing leaks, patching damaged flashing, or replacing missing shingles often signals that your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan.
Clear signs you need replacement include curling or missing shingles, shingles with missing granules, damaged roof valleys causing attic leaks, or widespread cracking and buckling. These aren’t problems you can patch—they indicate systemic failure of your roofing system.
The math is simple: if repair costs are approaching 25-30% of replacement cost, or if you’re facing multiple repair needs within a few years, replacement gives you better long-term value and eliminates the constant worry about the next leak.
Most roof replacements take 1-3 days to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the job. A typical single-family home with straightforward rooflines usually takes 1-2 days from start to finish.
Factors that extend the timeline include larger square footage, steep pitches requiring extra safety measures, multiple chimneys or skylights, weather delays, or discovering extensive deck damage that needs repair. We always inspect the deck during tear-off and address any structural issues before installing new materials.
We work efficiently but never rush quality. Every step—from tear-off to final cleanup—is done right the first time. We also coordinate all inspections and handle permit requirements so you don’t have to manage multiple moving parts during your project.
Impact-resistant architectural shingles perform best in Suffolk County, designed to withstand falling debris and extreme weather events with minimal damage. We typically recommend GAF Timberline, CertainTeed Landmark, or Owens Corning Duration series for their proven performance in our climate.
These shingles handle nor’easters, summer storms, and the freeze-thaw cycles common on Long Island. They’re thicker and more durable than basic 3-tab shingles, with better wind resistance ratings and longer manufacturer warranties.
The investment in quality shingles pays off through fewer repairs, better storm damage resistance, and improved home value. Cheap shingles might save money upfront, but they typically fail sooner and cost more in the long run through repairs and early replacement.
Yes, Suffolk County requires permits for roof replacement projects. The permit ensures your new roof meets current building codes and is properly inspected during installation. We handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections as part of our service.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks and costs a few hundred dollars depending on your home’s value and roof size. Some homeowners try to skip permits to save money, but this creates problems with insurance claims, home sales, and code compliance down the road.
Working with permitted, licensed contractors like us protects you legally and ensures your roof meets all current safety and performance standards. Insurance companies also prefer permitted work when processing claims for storm damage or other covered issues.
Roof decking problems include soft spots, visible sagging, water stains, or rot visible in your attic, though most decking issues aren’t visible until the old roof is removed. We inspect every inch of decking during tear-off and replace any compromised sections.
Signs of deck problems include bouncy or spongy feeling when walking on the roof, water stains on attic ceilings, or visible daylight coming through roof boards from inside the attic. These indicate water damage that’s compromised the structural integrity of your roof deck.
Deck replacement adds to project cost but is essential for a safe, long-lasting roof. We use proper plywood or OSB rated for roofing applications and ensure everything meets current building codes. Trying to install new roofing over damaged decking just creates bigger problems down the road.
