You’ve tried the quick fixes. You’ve called other contractors. The leak keeps coming back because nobody’s addressing the real problem.
Suffolk County weather doesn’t mess around—27 inches of snow, coastal storms, and salt air that eats through cheap materials. Your roof needs repairs built to handle what Long Island throws at it, not some temporary patch that fails when you need it most.
When we’re done, you sleep through storms instead of grabbing buckets. No more calling your insurance company. No more explaining to guests why there’s a tarp in the living room. Just a roof that works.
We’ve been fixing roofs across Suffolk County for years. We’re not some fly-by-night operation that disappears after cashing your check—we’re licensed, insured, and family-owned.
St. James gets hit with everything from nor’easters to summer storms that come out of nowhere. We know how salt air corrodes flashing faster than inland areas. We understand why ice dams form on certain roof slopes. We’ve seen what happens when contractors use the wrong materials for Long Island’s climate.
Your neighbors know our work because we’ve probably fixed their roofs too. That’s how you build a reputation in a community—one satisfied customer at a time.
Step one: We find the actual leak, not just where water’s dripping through your ceiling. Most leaks start somewhere completely different from where you see the damage inside.
Next, we explain what’s wrong in plain English and tell you exactly what it’ll cost to fix it right. No surprises, no upselling, no technical nonsense you don’t need to hear.
Then we fix it using materials that can handle Long Island weather. We test everything before we leave, clean up the mess, and show you what we did. The whole point is making sure you never have to deal with this problem again.

Every roof repair starts with a thorough inspection because fixing symptoms doesn’t work. We check flashing around chimneys and vents, examine shingle condition, and look for the subtle warning signs most contractors miss.
St. James homes face specific challenges—salt air that accelerates metal corrosion, storm damage that shows up months later, ice problems on north-facing sections. We know what to look for because we see these patterns every day.
Your repair includes premium materials rated for coastal conditions, proper installation techniques, and testing to make sure everything works. We also check gutters and downspouts because water problems rarely happen in isolation. Everything comes with our guarantee.
Most roof repairs in St. James run between $400-$1,200, depending on what needs fixing. Simple shingle replacement might cost $400-$600, while more complex leak repairs involving flashing or multiple problem areas typically run $800-$1,200.
Storm damage repairs usually fall somewhere in the middle, especially when you’re dealing with missing shingles or damaged flashing from high winds. Emergency repairs might include additional charges for immediate response, but we’ll always tell you the total cost before starting work.
The real cost comes from cheap repairs that fail in six months. Spending a bit more upfront for quality materials and proper installation saves money in the long run.
If water’s actively coming into your house, we can usually get there within a few hours to stop the immediate damage. Most standard repairs get completed the same day or next day, weather permitting.
More complex jobs might take 2-3 days, especially if we’re dealing with extensive flashing work or multiple problem areas. We’d rather take the time to do it right than rush through and have problems later.
Bad weather changes everything—we won’t attempt permanent repairs during active storms, but we can secure your roof temporarily until conditions improve. Your safety and a quality repair matter more than speed.
Flashing problems cause about 60% of the leaks we see around here. The combination of salt air and temperature swings breaks down sealants faster than in other areas, especially around chimneys, vents, and roof valleys.
Storm damage accounts for another big chunk—missing or damaged shingles from high winds create entry points for water. Even minor wind damage can turn into major problems if you don’t catch it early.
The rest comes from ice dams, clogged gutters causing water backup, and normal wear on older roofs. Most of these problems are preventable with proper installation and occasional maintenance.
Yes, we provide emergency services throughout Suffolk County when it’s safe to work. Our first priority is stopping water from getting into your home and preventing more damage.
Emergency work includes tarping, temporary leak sealing, and securing loose shingles. Once the weather clears, we come back to complete permanent repairs using proper materials and techniques.
We’re available 24/7 for real emergencies where water’s actively damaging your home. But we won’t put our crew at risk during dangerous conditions—sometimes temporary protection is the smartest approach until the storm passes.
Quality roof repairs using the right materials should last 15-20 years in our coastal environment. How long depends on what type of repair, what materials we use, and how well you maintain the overall roof system.
Shingle replacements and flashing repairs done with premium materials typically last as long as the rest of your roof. Cheap or temporary repairs might only make it 2-3 years before you’re calling someone again.
We warranty our work and use materials specifically designed for Long Island’s salt air and temperature extremes. The goal is making repairs that last as long as your roof, not creating a recurring problem.
Repair makes sense when you’re dealing with isolated problems and the rest of your roof is in decent shape. If repairs would cost more than half of what a new roof costs, or if you’re constantly fixing different problems, replacement probably makes more sense.
Age matters too—if your roof is over 20 years old and needs significant repairs, you might be throwing good money after bad. Sometimes a $1,000 repair buys you 5-10 more years, other times you’re just delaying the inevitable.
We’ll give you straight advice about which approach makes sense for your situation and budget. No point in recommending expensive repairs if your roof is near the end of its life anyway.
