Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just getting a new roof. You’re getting years without worrying about leaks during storms, without emergency repairs, and without wondering if your home is truly protected.
When your roof replacement is done right, you sleep better during heavy rain. You don’t stress about wind damage. You don’t deal with water stains on ceilings or emergency tarps.
That’s what happens when you work with contractors who understand Shelter Island’s unique weather challenges and refuse to cut corners on materials or workmanship.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County homeowners who demand quality over quick fixes. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s exactly why our customers choose us.
Shelter Island homeowners face unique challenges. Your properties are exposed to coastal weather, flooding risks, and severe wind events that can destroy inferior roofing work. We use materials and installation methods specifically designed for Long Island’s coastal climate.
Every project comes with comprehensive warranties because we stand behind our work. When we say your roof will protect your home, we mean it.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof, checking for underlying damage that could affect your new installation. You’ll get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline.
On installation day, we protect your property with tarps and careful debris management. The old roof comes off completely—no shortcuts or layovers that create problems later. We inspect and repair the roof deck if needed, then install premium underlayment and your new roofing system.
Cleanup is thorough. We use magnetic sweepers to collect nails and leave your property cleaner than we found it. You get a final walkthrough and all warranty documentation before we consider the job complete.

Your roof replacement includes complete tear-off and disposal of old materials, deck inspection and repair, premium underlayment, new shingles or metal roofing, flashing replacement, and ridge ventilation. We handle permits and inspections.
Shelter Island’s coastal location means your roof faces salt air, high winds, and potential flooding. We use materials rated for coastal environments and install them according to manufacturer specifications that exceed local building codes.
Metal roofing options provide superior wind resistance and longevity for island properties. Asphalt shingles offer excellent value with proper installation. We’ll recommend the best option based on your home’s exposure, architecture, and budget.
Roof replacement costs in Shelter Island typically range from $10,000 to $25,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. A standard 1,500 square foot asphalt shingle roof averages around $12,000-$15,000, while metal roofing runs $18,000-$22,000 for the same size.
The investment makes sense when you consider Shelter Island’s median home values have increased 84% in the past year. A quality roof replacement protects that investment and often pays for itself through improved energy efficiency and eliminated repair costs.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
Replace your roof if it’s over 20 years old, has multiple leak areas, or shows widespread shingle damage. In Shelter Island’s coastal environment, roofs often need replacement sooner due to salt air and severe weather exposure.
If you’re spending more than $3,000 annually on repairs, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Missing or curling shingles across large areas, granule loss, and daylight visible through the roof deck are clear replacement indicators.
Given Shelter Island’s flooding and wind risks, an aging roof is a liability you can’t afford. Modern materials and installation methods provide much better protection than older roofing systems.
Most residential roof replacements take 2-4 days, depending on size, weather, and complexity. We schedule around Shelter Island’s ferry access and coordinate material deliveries to minimize disruption.
Weather delays are possible, especially during storm season. We monitor forecasts closely and won’t start tear-off if rain is expected within 48 hours. Your home’s protection is more important than schedule pressure.
We provide daily progress updates and protect your home with tarps if overnight coverage is needed. The goal is a quality installation, not a rushed job that creates future problems.
Metal roofing performs exceptionally well in coastal environments, resisting salt air corrosion and providing superior wind resistance. Standing seam metal can withstand winds over 120 mph when properly installed.
High-quality architectural asphalt shingles with algae resistance also work well and cost less upfront. We recommend impact-resistant shingles rated for severe weather. Proper ventilation and underlayment are critical regardless of shingle choice.
Avoid basic three-tab shingles or budget materials. Shelter Island’s weather conditions will destroy inferior products quickly, leading to premature replacement and potential water damage.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with Suffolk County building departments. Shelter Island follows county building codes, and we’re familiar with all requirements.
Permits are required for complete roof replacements and ensure your work meets safety standards. We include permit costs in our estimates so there are no surprises. Inspections verify proper installation and protect your investment.
Some contractors skip permits to save money, but this creates problems if you sell your home or file insurance claims. We do everything by the book to protect you legally and financially.
Our roof replacements include manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 25-50 years) plus our workmanship warranty covering installation for 10 years. This combination protects you against both material defects and installation issues.
We’re selective about manufacturers and only use products with strong warranty support. If problems arise, we handle warranty claims directly so you don’t deal with manufacturer bureaucracy.
Local presence matters for warranty service. We’re not going anywhere, and we’ll be here to honor our commitments. Many contractors disappear after a few years, leaving customers with worthless warranties.
