Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of wondering if the next storm will mean tarps in your attic and frantic calls to your insurance company. You want to stop thinking about your roof altogether.
That’s what happens when the installation is done right the first time. The shingles stay put during 60 mph gusts. The flashing doesn’t lift when ice dams form. Your attic stays dry through nor’easters that dump three inches of rain in six hours.
You’re not calling roofer contractors every spring to patch last winter’s damage. You’re not dealing with mold in your insulation or water stains spreading across your ceiling. Your home stays protected, your belongings stay dry, and you can focus on literally anything else.
We’ve spent over a decade fixing roofs across Long Island, and we’ve seen what happens when roofers cut corners in coastal towns like East Setauket. We’ve pulled back shingles that were never properly sealed against wind uplift. We’ve replaced flashing that corroded in two years because it wasn’t rated for salt air.
We’re licensed, insured, and OSHA-compliant, but more importantly, we understand what your roof faces here. The freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior materials. The humidity that breeds mold under poorly ventilated installations. The summer heat that causes thermal expansion if the materials aren’t compatible.
Your neighbors in East Setauket have 91.8% homeownership, which means most people here are protecting significant investments. We treat your roof installation the same way we’d treat our own homes, because we live here too.
We start with an inspection that goes beyond walking your roof and nodding. You get a detailed assessment of your decking condition, ventilation setup, and any structural concerns that could compromise a new installation. We measure everything and document what we find.
Then you receive a transparent estimate that breaks down materials, labor, timeline, and warranty coverage. No vague line items. No surprises when the work is done. If your insurance is covering storm damage, we’ll walk you through that process and document everything they need.
During installation, we protect your property with tarps and magnetic sweeps for nails. We remove old materials down to the decking, replace any damaged sections, and install new underlayment, drip edge, and flashing before the first shingle goes down. Every shingle gets properly sealed. Every valley gets reinforced. Every penetration gets flashed correctly.
When we’re finished, you get a final walkthrough, documentation for your records, and warranty information that covers both materials and labor. Most roof installations in East Setauket take two to four days depending on size and complexity.

You’re getting materials rated for Long Island’s wind zones and coastal conditions. That means shingles with proper wind resistance ratings, underlayment that handles moisture, and metal components that won’t corrode in salt air. We work with GAF and Owens Corning because their products hold up here.
Your installation includes complete tear-off of existing materials, inspection and repair of roof decking, new ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, and flashing around every chimney, skylight, and wall intersection. If you have valleys, they get reinforced. If you have complex angles, they get extra attention.
In East Setauket, where homes face regular nor’easters and the occasional hurricane, your roof needs to handle sustained winds and driving rain. We install every component with that reality in mind. The average roof replacement here runs between $7,800 and $14,900 depending on size, pitch, and material choice, but you’re looking at decades of protection when it’s done correctly.
We also handle metal roof installation for homeowners who want maximum durability and minimal maintenance. Metal roofing withstands coastal weather better than any other material and often comes with 50-year warranties.
Most residential roof installations take two to four days from tear-off to final cleanup. That timeline assumes decent weather and a typical single-family home between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet.
Larger homes, complex roof designs with multiple valleys and dormers, or installations that require significant decking repair will take longer. If we find rot or structural damage once we remove your old shingles, we’ll address it before moving forward, which can add a day or two.
Weather is the biggest variable. We don’t install shingles in rain, and we won’t start a tear-off if storms are forecast within the next 48 hours. Your home needs to stay protected, and rushing through an installation because of an arbitrary deadline is how you end up with leaks six months later.
Roof repair makes sense when damage is localized to a specific area and your roof is less than 15 years old. If a storm lifted shingles in one section, or a tree branch damaged a small area, you can often repair just that section without replacing the entire roof.
Roof replacement becomes necessary when you have widespread damage, your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan, or you’re experiencing multiple leak points. If your shingles are curling, cracking, or losing granules across large areas, repairs won’t solve the underlying problem.
In East Setauket, we see a lot of homes where owners kept patching problems for years, spending $800 here and $1,200 there, when a full replacement would have been more cost-effective. If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re calling roofers for repairs every couple of years, replacement is probably your better option.
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response for storm damage because we know nor’easters and summer storms don’t wait for business hours. If your roof is actively leaking or you have structural damage that’s exposing your home to the elements, we’ll get someone out to assess and secure your property.
Emergency repairs typically involve tarping damaged areas, removing debris, and temporarily sealing leak points until we can schedule a proper repair or replacement. We document everything with photos and detailed notes because you’ll likely need that information for insurance claims.
After we’ve secured your home, we’ll provide a comprehensive assessment of the damage and a clear recommendation on whether you need repairs or full replacement. We work directly with insurance adjusters and can help you navigate that process if your policy covers the damage.
Architectural shingles are the most common choice because they offer good wind resistance, reasonable cost, and 25-30 year lifespans when properly installed. You want shingles rated for at least 110 mph winds, which is standard for coastal areas like East Setauket.
Metal roofing is gaining popularity here because it handles salt air better than any other material, reflects summer heat to reduce cooling costs, and can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. The upfront cost is higher, but you’re likely never replacing your roof again.
Slate and tile look great but require structural support that many Long Island homes don’t have without reinforcement. They’re also significantly more expensive. We don’t recommend flat or low-slope roofing materials for primary roof surfaces in this climate because snow and ice create drainage problems.
Whatever material you choose, proper installation matters more than the product name. The best shingles in the world won’t protect your home if the flashing is wrong or the underlayment isn’t sealed correctly.
You’re typically looking at $7,800 to $14,900 for a complete roof replacement on a standard single-family home. That range accounts for differences in roof size, pitch, complexity, and material choice.
A simple ranch with minimal penetrations and easy access will land on the lower end. A two-story colonial with multiple valleys, dormers, chimneys, and steep pitch will cost more because it requires more materials, more labor hours, and more safety equipment.
Metal roof installation runs higher, usually starting around $12,000 and going up depending on the metal type and roof complexity. But you’re getting a roof that will likely outlast you and requires almost no maintenance.
We offer 18-month interest-free payment plans because we know roof replacement is a significant expense. You’ll get a detailed written estimate before we start any work, and that number won’t change unless we discover hidden damage once we remove your old roof.
Yes. We document all storm damage with detailed photos, measurements, and written assessments that insurance adjusters need to process your claim. We’ve worked with every major insurance carrier that operates in Suffolk County, and we know what they require.
We’ll meet with your adjuster on-site if needed, point out damage they might miss, and provide estimates that match insurance industry standards. We don’t inflate claims, but we also don’t let adjusters overlook legitimate damage that needs repair.
If your claim gets denied or the payout seems too low, we’ll provide additional documentation and explain why certain repairs are necessary given East Setauket’s climate and building codes. Many homeowners don’t realize their policy covers more than just shingle replacement—it often includes underlayment, flashing, and sometimes even decking if storm damage caused the failure.
We can’t guarantee your insurance will cover everything, but we’ll give you the documentation and support to make the strongest case possible.
