When your roof replacement is done right, you stop worrying about the next storm. You get reliable protection that handles whatever Long Island weather throws at it—heavy rain, high winds, even those surprise nor’easters that seem to hit every year.
Your energy bills stay predictable because proper installation means better insulation performance. No more wondering if that leak will get worse or if you’ll wake up to water damage after the next big storm.
Most importantly, you get back to living in your home instead of constantly managing roof problems. That’s what happens when experienced professionals handle your roof replacement from start to finish.
We’ve been handling roof replacements throughout Suffolk County for years, and we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in this climate. We understand how coastal weather, temperature swings, and humidity affect your roof differently than homes inland.
Our team focuses exclusively on exterior home improvements—roofing, siding, gutters, and chimneys. When you work with specialists instead of general contractors, you get people who know exactly what your roof needs to last in Nesconset’s specific conditions.
We’re the contractors your neighbors call when they want their roof replacement done right the first time, with materials that actually hold up and installation that meets the standards your home deserves.
First, we inspect your current roof and explain exactly what needs to be replaced and why. No surprises, no upselling—just a clear assessment of what your home actually needs.
Next comes the complete tear-off. We remove everything down to the deck, check for any damage that needs repair, and make sure you have a solid foundation for your new roof. This is where a lot of contractors cut corners, but it’s also where the long-term performance of your roof gets decided.
Then we install your new roofing system using materials designed for Suffolk County’s climate. Every component gets installed according to manufacturer specifications, which means your warranty stays intact and your roof performs the way it’s supposed to.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk through everything with you. You’ll know exactly what was done and how to maintain your investment.

Your roof replacement includes complete tear-off and disposal of old materials, deck inspection and repair if needed, and installation of new underlayment, shingles, flashing, and ventilation systems. We handle permits, protect your landscaping, and ensure proper cleanup.
In Nesconset, we see a lot of roofs that were damaged by recent storms or simply reached the end of their 20-25 year lifespan. Many homes in the area were built with basic asphalt shingles that weren’t designed for the coastal weather patterns we experience here.
We use materials specifically chosen for Long Island conditions—shingles that resist algae growth in our humid summers, handle the freeze-thaw cycles of our winters, and stand up to the high winds that come with coastal storms. Your replacement roof gets the ventilation it needs to prevent ice dams and the flashing details that actually keep water out.
Roof replacement costs in Nesconset typically range from $8,000 to $15,000 for a complete replacement, depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, and materials chosen. A standard 1,500 square foot home with quality asphalt shingles usually costs around $10,500-12,000.
The final cost depends on factors like the current condition of your roof deck, the number of layers that need to be removed, and any additional features like skylights or chimneys that require special flashing work. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for, so you know where every dollar goes.
Keep in mind that the cheapest bid usually isn’t the best value. Quality materials and proper installation cost more upfront but save you money long-term by lasting longer and requiring fewer repairs.
If your roof is over 20 years old and showing multiple signs of wear—like widespread shingle damage, frequent leaks, or granules washing into your gutters—replacement usually makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. One major indicator is when repair costs start adding up to more than 30% of replacement cost.
After severe weather events like the historic August 2024 storm that hit Suffolk County, many homeowners discovered that what looked like minor damage actually indicated larger structural issues. If your roof has missing shingles in multiple areas, damaged flashing, or signs of deck deterioration, replacement gives you a fresh start with modern materials.
Age alone isn’t always the deciding factor, but when you combine an older roof with increasing repair frequency and rising energy bills from poor insulation performance, replacement becomes the smarter long-term investment.
For Suffolk County’s climate, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with enhanced wind resistance (rated for 130+ mph winds), algae resistance for our humid summers, and Class A fire ratings. These shingles handle the temperature extremes, coastal moisture, and storm activity we experience here.
Metal roofing is another excellent option that’s gaining popularity in coastal areas. It resists salt air corrosion, reflects heat to reduce cooling costs, and stands up exceptionally well to high winds. The upfront cost is higher, but metal roofs often last 40-50 years compared to 20-25 for asphalt.
We avoid basic three-tab shingles in this area because they don’t hold up well to our weather patterns. The investment in better materials pays for itself through longer lifespan, better energy efficiency, and fewer weather-related repairs over time.
Most residential roof replacements in Nesconset take 2-4 days to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your roof. A straightforward ranch-style home might be finished in two days, while a larger colonial with multiple levels and features could take four days.
Weather can affect the timeline—we won’t install roofing materials in rain or high winds because it compromises the quality of installation. We’ll also pause work if severe weather is forecast, because your home’s protection is more important than rushing to meet a deadline.
The process includes one day for tear-off and deck inspection, 1-2 days for installation of the new roofing system, and final cleanup and inspection. We coordinate delivery of materials and dumpster placement to minimize disruption to your daily routine and protect your landscaping throughout the process.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections with local building departments. In Suffolk County, roof replacement permits are typically required and involve both plan review and final inspection to ensure work meets current building codes.
The permit process usually takes 1-2 weeks, and we factor this into your project timeline from the start. We submit detailed plans showing the roofing materials, ventilation systems, and structural details required by local codes. This protects you by ensuring your roof replacement meets all safety and performance standards.
Having proper permits also protects your home’s resale value and ensures your homeowner’s insurance coverage remains valid. Some insurance companies require proof of permitted work for claims related to roof damage, so handling permits correctly from the beginning saves potential headaches later.
Your roof replacement includes both manufacturer warranties on materials and our workmanship warranty on installation. Material warranties typically range from 25-50 years depending on the shingles chosen, while our installation warranty covers labor and workmanship issues.
Manufacturer warranties cover defects in the shingles themselves—things like premature granule loss, cracking, or manufacturing flaws. Our workmanship warranty covers installation-related issues like leaks from improper flashing, ventilation problems, or other installation errors.
To keep warranties valid, we install everything according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes. We also provide you with all warranty documentation and explain exactly what’s covered and for how long. Proper installation is crucial because improper work can void manufacturer warranties, leaving you without protection.
