Hear from Our Customers
You wake up to a roof that actually protects your home. No more buckets catching drips during storms. No more wondering if this winter will be the one that finally does your roof in.
Your energy bills drop because your new roof seals properly. Your home value jumps because buyers see a roof that won’t need replacing for decades. You sleep better knowing your family is protected under a roof built to handle everything Long Island weather throws at it.
That’s what happens when you stop patching problems and start with a clean slate.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another roofing company. We’re a family legacy business that’s been protecting Suffolk County homes for decades. We understand what Long Island weather does to roofs because we live here too.
Every project gets personal oversight from our team. We combine old-school craftsmanship with modern techniques because that’s what actually lasts. Licensed, insured, and local – we’re the contractors your neighbors recommend when they need the job done right.
St. James homeowners deal with unique challenges. Salt air, temperature swings from 20 degrees in winter to 80+ in summer, and nearly 50 inches of rain annually. We build roofs that handle it all.
First, we inspect everything. Not just the obvious problem spots, but the underlying structure, decking, and areas where future issues might develop. You get a detailed assessment of what needs to happen and why.
Next comes the complete tear-off. We remove every shingle, inspect the decking underneath, and replace any damaged boards. Then we install a waterproof barrier that seals your roof even if water gets under the shingles somehow.
Finally, we install high-quality shingles that lock together and resist damage from heavy rain, strong winds, and hail. Your new roof gets proper ventilation to prevent heat buildup and ice damming. We clean up completely and walk you through everything we’ve done.
The whole process typically takes 2-3 days, weather permitting. You get transparent communication throughout and a roof that’s built to last.

Your roof replacement includes everything needed for long-term protection. Complete tear-off and disposal of old materials. Inspection and replacement of any damaged decking. Installation of waterproof underlayment and proper flashing around chimneys, vents, and other penetrations.
We use premium materials designed for Suffolk County’s climate challenges. Our shingles resist wind speeds up to 130 mph and carry impact resistance ratings for hail damage. Every installation includes proper ventilation to prevent moisture problems and ice damming.
In St. James, we see specific issues other areas don’t face. Salt air corrosion, extreme temperature swings, and heavy storm exposure. That’s why we use materials and techniques proven to handle these local conditions. Your investment protects your home for decades, not just a few years.
Roof replacement costs in Suffolk County typically range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on your roof size, material choice, and complexity. Most St. James homeowners with standard asphalt shingle roofs spend between $8,000 and $12,000 for complete replacement.
The final cost depends on factors like your roof’s square footage, pitch, and any additional features like chimneys or skylights. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Remember that a quality roof replacement is a one-time investment that can last 20-30 years or more with proper materials and installation.
Replace your roof when repairs become a recurring expense or when your roof is approaching 20-25 years old. If you’re calling for repairs multiple times per year, replacement usually makes more financial sense.
Other signs include widespread shingle damage, multiple leaks, or structural issues like sagging. After major storms, even if damage isn’t immediately obvious, problems can develop over months or years. A thorough inspection helps determine whether spot repairs will solve the problem or if you’re just delaying the inevitable.
In Suffolk County’s harsh climate, an aging roof can quickly become a major expense. Replacement gives you decades of protection and eliminates the ongoing headache of constant repairs.
Most residential roof replacements in St. James take 2-3 days to complete, depending on roof size and complexity. Weather is the biggest variable – we can’t install roofing materials safely during rain or high winds.
Day one typically involves tear-off and decking inspection. Day two covers underlayment installation and beginning the shingle work. Day three finishes shingles, installs ridge vents, and handles cleanup. Larger or more complex roofs might take an additional day.
We protect your home throughout the process and work efficiently to minimize disruption. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly a quality roof replacement gets completed when done by experienced professionals.
Architectural asphalt shingles perform exceptionally well in Suffolk County’s climate. They resist wind damage up to 130 mph, handle temperature extremes, and offer excellent value. We recommend impact-resistant shingles that pass UL 2218 Class 4 testing for areas prone to hail damage.
Metal roofing is another excellent choice for Long Island homes, especially for durability and energy efficiency. It handles salt air better than standard materials and can last 50+ years with proper installation.
The key is proper installation with quality underlayment and ventilation. Even the best materials fail without correct installation techniques. We use materials specifically rated for coastal climates and extreme weather conditions.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for roof replacement projects in St. James and throughout Suffolk County. We’re familiar with local building codes and regulations, so you don’t have to navigate the permit process yourself.
Most roof replacements require permits to ensure work meets current building standards. This protects you and ensures your insurance coverage remains valid. We submit all necessary paperwork and schedule required inspections.
As licensed contractors in Suffolk County, we maintain relationships with local building departments and understand exactly what’s required for each type of roofing project. This eliminates delays and ensures your project meets all local requirements.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers and typically range from 25-50 years depending on the products chosen. Our workmanship warranty covers installation quality and craftsmanship issues.
The specific warranty terms depend on materials selected and project scope. We explain all warranty coverage in detail before starting work so you understand exactly what’s protected and for how long.
We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proper installation techniques. Most roofing problems stem from poor installation rather than material defects. Our experience and attention to detail minimize warranty claims and ensure your roof performs as expected for decades.
