You stop worrying every time the forecast calls for rain. You stop climbing into the attic with a flashlight looking for new stains. You stop wondering if this winter’s ice dam will be the one that finally does real damage.
A proper roof replacement means you’re done with the repair cycle. No more throwing money at temporary fixes that buy you six months if you’re lucky. You get a roof designed for Suffolk County’s nor’easters, salt air, and heavy snow—installed by local roofers who know exactly what fails first and why.
Your energy bills drop because the new roof actually seals. Your insurance company stops sending letters about coverage changes. And when you’re ready to sell, buyers see a roof with 20+ years left and don’t ask for credits at closing.
That’s what a full replacement does. It ends the problem instead of postponing it.
We’ve spent over 13 years replacing roofs across Suffolk County. We’re licensed, insured, and GAF Master Elite certified—a designation held by less than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide.
We’re not a crew that shows up from out of state after a storm and disappears when the deposit clears. We’re based in Bohemia, and our work stays visible in the neighborhoods we serve. That keeps us honest and keeps our standards high.
You’re hiring people who understand what salt air does to flashing, how ice dams form on Long Island roofs, and why a roof that works in Pennsylvania fails here in three years. Local knowledge matters when the job needs to last decades.
First, we inspect your roof—not from the driveway, but up on it. We check for soft spots, look at flashing, measure slope, and document what’s failing. You get photos and a clear explanation of what needs replacing and why.
Next comes the estimate. We break down material costs, labor, disposal, and permits so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise fees, no vague line items. If your roof has complications—chimneys, skylights, multiple valleys—we account for that upfront.
Once you approve, we schedule the work and pull permits. On tear-off day, we protect your landscaping, remove old shingles down to the deck, and inspect the sheathing for damage. If we find rot, we tell you before we cover it up.
Then we install new underlayment, ice and water shield at vulnerable points, and your new shingles. Flashing gets replaced, not reused. Ventilation gets checked. Every nail gets placed where it’s supposed to go.
Final walkthrough happens with you. We show you the completed work, clean up every nail and shingle scrap, and hand you warranty paperwork that actually means something.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a complete tear-off, not a layer-over that hides problems. That means we remove everything down to the roof deck, inspect the structure, and replace any damaged sheathing before new materials go on.
We install high-quality underlayment and ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and around penetrations—the spots where Long Island roofs leak first. Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and walls gets replaced with new material that won’t corrode in salt air.
Your new shingles come with a GAF warranty—50 years on materials, 25 years on workmanship if you choose the Golden Pledge option. That’s coverage backed by North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, not just a contractor’s promise.
For flat roofs and garage roof replacement projects, we use TPO or EPDM systems designed for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. Proper drainage matters on flat roofs, and we make sure water moves where it’s supposed to instead of pooling and finding weak spots.
Every job includes permit handling, dumpster service, full cleanup, and progress photos so you see exactly what’s happening even if you’re at work. You’re not guessing whether the crew showed up or wondering what’s under the new shingles.
Most homeowners in Bohemia pay between $8,000 and $15,000 for a complete roof replacement in 2025. That range depends on roof size, pitch, complexity, and material choice.
A straightforward ranch with minimal valleys and no chimneys sits at the lower end. A two-story colonial with multiple roof planes, skylights, and steep pitch costs more because it takes longer and requires more material and safety equipment.
Asphalt shingles run $5 to $9 per square foot installed. Architectural shingles with better wind resistance and longer warranties cost more than basic three-tab, but they last longer and perform better in coastal conditions. If you’re looking at flat roof replacement for a garage or addition, TPO or EPDM systems run $7 to $12 per square foot depending on thickness and warranty level.
We give you a detailed estimate before any work starts, broken down by material, labor, disposal, and permits. No surprises, no vague “per square” pricing that doesn’t mean anything until the bill shows up.
Most residential roof replacements in Bohemia take two to four days depending on size, weather, and complexity. A typical single-family home gets torn off and re-roofed in two to three days if conditions cooperate.
Day one is usually tear-off and deck inspection. We remove old shingles, check sheathing for damage, and make any necessary repairs. Day two involves installing underlayment, flashing, and starting the new shingles. Day three is finishing shingles, ridge caps, final inspection, and cleanup.
Larger homes, steep roofs, or jobs with multiple chimneys and skylights take longer. Weather delays happen—we don’t install shingles in rain or when temperatures drop below manufacturer specs because it voids warranties and leads to premature failure.
Flat roof replacement on garages or additions can often be completed in one to two days depending on size. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. You’ll know when we’re starting, when we’ll finish, and what to expect each day.
If your roof is over 15 years old and you’re facing a second or third repair, replacement makes more financial sense. Repairs buy time, but they don’t stop the aging process—and in Suffolk County’s climate, old roofs fail faster than they do inland.
Here’s the math: if a repair costs $1,500 and your roof has maybe five years left, you’ll likely spend another $1,500 to $3,000 on additional repairs before you’re forced to replace it anyway. That’s $3,000 to $4,500 spent on a roof you’ll still need to replace, when that money could’ve gone toward the replacement itself.
Insurance companies know this too. Many carriers reduce coverage or switch to Actual Cash Value once a roof hits 15 to 20 years old, meaning you’re on the hook for depreciation if damage occurs. A new roof resets that clock and keeps your coverage intact.
If you’re dealing with widespread shingle loss, multiple leaks, or visible sagging, repairs won’t solve the underlying problem. We can assess whether your roof has enough life left to justify a repair or if you’re just postponing the inevitable. We’ll tell you honestly which makes sense for your situation and your budget.
Architectural asphalt shingles with high wind ratings perform best for most Bohemia homes. Look for shingles rated for 110+ mph winds and Class 4 impact resistance—those specs matter when nor’easters roll through with 60 mph gusts and driving rain.
GAF Timberline HDZ shingles are a solid choice for Suffolk County. They’re rated for 130 mph winds, come with algae resistance (important in humid coastal climates), and carry strong warranties. They also handle freeze-thaw cycles better than cheaper three-tab shingles that crack and curl after a few Long Island winters.
For flat roof replacement on garages or low-slope sections, TPO and EPDM rubber roofing hold up well. TPO reflects heat and resists ponding water. EPDM is durable and handles temperature swings without cracking. Both outlast tar and gravel systems that were common 20 years ago but require constant maintenance now.
Metal roofing works if you want maximum longevity and don’t mind the higher upfront cost. Standing seam metal sheds snow, resists salt air corrosion, and lasts 40+ years. It’s overkill for some budgets, but it’s worth considering if you’re planning to stay in the house long-term.
Avoid the cheapest shingles you can find. They’re cheap because they fail sooner, and coastal conditions accelerate that failure. Spending an extra $1,500 on better materials adds years to your roof’s life and saves you from an early replacement.
Yes. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and handle all the paperwork required by the Town of Islip and Suffolk County. You don’t need to visit town hall or figure out what forms to file.
Roof replacement permits in Bohemia typically require proof of insurance, contractor licensing, and a basic scope of work. The town wants to make sure the work meets code and that the contractor is legitimate. We provide all of that as part of the job.
Inspections usually happen after the roof deck is exposed and again after the final installation. The inspector checks for proper sheathing, adequate ventilation, correct flashing installation, and compliance with current building codes. If something needs adjustment, we handle it before the final sign-off.
Skipping permits might seem like a way to save money, but it creates problems later. If you sell your house and the buyer’s inspector finds unpermitted work, you’ll face delays, price reductions, or demands to tear off the roof and start over with permits. Insurance companies can also deny claims if they discover unpermitted work after storm damage.
We include permit costs in your estimate so there’s no confusion about what you’re paying. It’s part of doing the job right, and it protects your investment and your home’s resale value.
GAF material warranties cover defects in the shingles themselves—typically 50 years for architectural shingles, though coverage is often prorated after the first 10 years. That means if shingles fail due to manufacturing defects, GAF replaces them based on remaining value.
Workmanship warranties cover installation errors—things like improper nailing, missed flashing, or incorrect ventilation that lead to leaks or premature failure. Standard workmanship coverage runs 10 years, but as GAF Master Elite contractors, we can offer the Golden Pledge warranty with 25 years of workmanship coverage.
That’s a big difference. Most contractor warranties cover labor for one to five years, meaning if something goes wrong in year seven, you’re paying for repairs out of pocket. The Golden Pledge extends that to 25 years and includes material coverage, so both the shingles and the installation are protected long-term.
Underlayment, flashing, and ventilation components carry separate warranties depending on the product. We use GAF accessories when possible to keep everything under one warranty umbrella, which simplifies claims if issues arise.
Read your warranty paperwork carefully. Some warranties require annual inspections or specific maintenance to stay valid. Others exclude wind damage or limit coverage based on roof pitch. We explain what’s covered, what’s not, and what you need to do to keep the warranty active. You’re making a major investment—you should know exactly what protection comes with it.
