When your roof works like it should, you stop worrying about every storm that rolls through Ridge. No more scrambling for buckets when it rains. No more wondering if that stain on the ceiling is getting worse.
You get a roof that handles whatever Long Island weather throws at it. Storm-tested materials that don’t buckle under pressure. Professional installation that keeps water where it belongs—outside your house.
The result? You sleep better during nor’easters. Your home stays dry, comfortable, and protected. And you’re not calling contractors every few months dealing with the same problems over and over.
We’ve been serving Ridge and Long Island homeowners for years, and we’ve learned a thing or two about what works here. We understand how coastal storms hit differently than inland weather. We know which materials hold up to salt air and which ones don’t.
Our crews have worked through countless nor’easters, hurricanes, and those surprise storms that seem to find every weak spot in your roof. We’ve seen what happens when roofs aren’t built right for this area, and we’ve fixed plenty of those problems.
Ridge homeowners trust us because we show up when we say we will, we clean up after ourselves, and we don’t try to sell you things you don’t need. When you work with contractors who actually live and work in your community, it makes a difference.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just from the ground—we get up there and see what’s really going on. We take photos so you can see exactly what we’re seeing. No guesswork, no assumptions.
Then we give you a clear breakdown of what needs to happen. If it’s a simple repair, we tell you that. If you need a full replacement, we explain why. We walk through material options that make sense for Ridge’s climate and your budget.
Once we start work, our crews protect your property, work efficiently, and clean up completely each day. We handle permits, inspections, and coordinate with your insurance if there’s storm damage involved. You get regular updates so you always know where things stand.
When we’re finished, you get documentation of the completed work and warranty information. No loose ends, no wondering what comes next.

Ridge homeowners deal with unique challenges that inland areas don’t face. Salt air that corrodes materials faster. Wind patterns that hit roofs differently because of our coastal location. Temperature swings that cause more expansion and contraction than you’d expect.
Our roofing services account for all of this. We use materials rated for coastal environments. Our installation methods are designed to handle Ridge’s specific wind patterns and storm conditions. When we install gutters, we consider how nor’easters dump water differently than regular rainstorms.
We handle everything from emergency leak repairs during storms to complete roof replacements. Chimney work, siding repairs, gutter systems—basically anything that keeps weather outside your house where it belongs. Each service is tailored to perform well in Ridge’s coastal climate, not just generic solutions that might work somewhere else.
Most asphalt shingle roofs in Ridge last 15-20 years, which is shorter than inland areas due to our coastal conditions. Salt air, high winds, and temperature fluctuations take a toll that you don’t see in other parts of New York.
Metal roofing systems typically last 25-30 years here, making them a popular choice for homeowners who want longer-term protection. The key is using materials specifically rated for coastal environments and having them installed by contractors who understand how Ridge weather affects different roofing systems.
We always factor in local conditions when recommending materials. A roof that works great in central New York might not be the best choice for Ridge’s unique coastal environment.
Emergency roof repairs in Ridge typically start around $300-500 for temporary fixes like tarping or sealing small leaks. More extensive emergency repairs can range from $800-2,000 depending on the damage extent and materials needed.
Full roof replacements in Ridge generally run $8,000-15,000 for average-sized homes, though this varies significantly based on roof size, material choice, and complexity of the job. Coastal-rated materials and proper installation methods designed for our weather conditions do add some cost, but they’re essential for long-term performance.
We always provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprise charges or hidden fees—you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
During major storms, we prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within 4-6 hours for urgent situations like active leaks or major damage. Our crews are familiar with Ridge’s storm patterns and we prepare accordingly when severe weather is forecast.
For non-emergency storm damage assessment, we usually schedule inspections within 24-48 hours after conditions are safe. We understand that storm damage often isn’t immediately visible—problems can develop days or weeks later as water finds its way into small openings created by high winds.
We keep emergency supplies and tarping materials ready during storm season. Our goal is to stop further damage quickly, then develop a proper repair plan once we can safely assess everything that needs attention.
For Ridge’s coastal conditions, we typically recommend architectural shingles rated for high winds (Class 4 impact resistance) or metal roofing systems. Both handle salt air and storm conditions better than standard materials you might use inland.
Architectural shingles with proper underlayment and ice-and-water shield provide good protection for most Ridge homes. They’re designed to resist wind uplift and impact damage from debris during storms. Metal roofing costs more upfront but offers superior longevity and storm resistance.
The key is proper installation with coastal-rated fasteners and flashing systems. Even the best materials won’t perform if they’re not installed correctly for our specific wind patterns and weather conditions. We use installation methods specifically designed for coastal environments, not generic techniques.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help document storm damage for your claim. We provide detailed photos, damage assessments, and written reports that insurance adjusters need to process claims efficiently.
Our experience with Ridge’s typical storm damage patterns helps us identify issues that adjusters might miss during their initial inspection. We know what to look for and how to document everything properly so you get fair compensation for necessary repairs.
We can coordinate directly with your insurance company and adjuster throughout the process. This includes being present during inspections, providing additional documentation if needed, and ensuring that all necessary repairs are included in the claim settlement.
Several factors help determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense for Ridge roofs. Age is important—if your roof is over 15 years old and experiencing multiple issues, replacement often makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs.
We look at the overall condition, not just obvious problems. Granule loss, multiple leak points, damaged flashing, and signs of structural stress all indicate that repairs might just be temporary fixes. In Ridge’s harsh coastal environment, a roof showing multiple failure points usually needs complete replacement.
During our inspection, we’ll give you an honest assessment of your roof’s remaining useful life. Sometimes a few targeted repairs can extend a roof’s life by several years. Other times, continuing to patch problems ends up costing more than replacement while leaving you vulnerable to major damage during the next big storm.
