Hear From Our Clients
You’re not just getting new shingles slapped on. You’re getting a roof system designed to handle what Wheatley Heights throws at it: nor’easters that rip through in winter, summer storms that come out of nowhere, and the kind of coastal wind that tests every nail and seal.
When the job’s done right, you stop thinking about your roof. No more buckets in the attic. No more wondering if that stain on the ceiling is getting bigger. No more panic when the forecast shows heavy rain.
That’s what a proper roof installation gets you. Protection you can count on, installed by roofers who’ve been doing this in Suffolk County long enough to know which shortcuts cause problems three years down the road. You get materials that match your home and your budget, installed by people who show up when they say they will and clean up when they’re done.
We’ve spent more than 10 years solving roof problems for homeowners across Suffolk County. We’re licensed, insured, and local. That means when you call, you’re talking to people who know exactly how Wheatley Heights homes are built and what kind of weather they face.
We’ve replaced roofs that made it through Hurricane Sandy and ones that didn’t. We’ve repaired storm damage on colonials, ranches, and split-levels throughout the area. We know which materials hold up and which ones are a waste of your money.
You’re not getting a national chain that disappears after the check clears. You’re working with roofer contractors who live here, pull permits here, and stand behind the work because our reputation depends on it.
First, we come out to look at your roof. We check the decking, the flashing, the ventilation, and anything else that could cause problems later. You get a clear estimate that breaks down materials and labor so you know what you’re paying for.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits. Then we schedule the work around your life, not ours. Most roof installations in Wheatley Heights take two to four days depending on size and complexity.
We start with a full tear-off if that’s what’s needed. We inspect and repair the roof deck. We install new underlayment, drip edge, and flashing. Then we put down your shingles or metal roofing, making sure every row is straight and every seal is tight. When we’re done, we walk the property to pick up every nail and haul away every scrap. You get a written warranty that covers our workmanship, and we make sure you understand what’s covered and for how long.
Ready to get started?
Your roof installation covers everything from tear-off to cleanup. That includes removing your old roof, inspecting and repairing the decking, installing quality underlayment, and putting down the roofing material you choose, whether that’s architectural shingles, three-tab asphalt, or metal roofing.
In Wheatley Heights, most homeowners go with asphalt shingles because they handle the weather well and the cost makes sense. Architectural shingles run between $500 and $900 per square in 2025, and they typically last 20 to 30 years when installed correctly. Metal roofing costs more upfront but can last 40 to 70 years, and it handles high winds and heavy snow better than almost anything else.
We also handle the details people forget about until there’s a problem. New flashing around chimneys and vents. Proper ventilation so your attic doesn’t turn into an oven in summer. Gutter installation or repairs if your current system can’t handle the runoff from your new roof. Every job includes a workmanship warranty and documentation you can hand to your insurance company or a future buyer if you sell.
Most roof replacements in Wheatley Heights run between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on the size of your home, the materials you choose, and what we find when we pull off the old roof. Asphalt shingle roofs typically cost $5 to $9 per square foot. Metal roofing runs higher, but it lasts longer and handles Long Island weather better.
Labor makes up about 40% to 60% of the total cost, and that number stays high in Suffolk County because there’s steady demand for experienced roofers. Hidden costs show up when we find rotted decking, outdated ventilation, or structural issues that need fixing before we can install your new roof.
You’ll get a detailed estimate before we start so there’s no guessing. If we run into something unexpected, we’ll walk you through it and explain your options before moving forward.
Most residential roof installations take two to four days from start to finish. A straightforward ranch with easy access might be done in two days. A larger two-story home with multiple valleys, chimneys, or skylights could take four days or more.
Weather plays a role. We don’t install roofs in the rain, and we won’t leave your home exposed overnight if there’s a storm in the forecast. We also need time to pull permits, order materials, and schedule inspections if your project requires them.
You’ll know the timeline before we start, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes. The goal is to get your roof done right without dragging the job out or rushing through steps that matter.
Yes. Most roof replacements in Wheatley Heights and the rest of Suffolk County require a building permit. If your home is in a historic district or a coastal zone, you might need additional approvals before work can start.
We handle the permit process for you. That includes pulling the permit, scheduling inspections, and making sure everything meets current building codes. It adds a little time to the schedule, but it protects you if you ever sell your home or file an insurance claim.
Skipping permits is a red flag. If a roofer tells you that you don’t need one or offers a discount for working without permits, walk away. You’ll pay for it later when the town finds out or when your insurance company denies a claim because the work wasn’t permitted.
Asphalt shingles work well for most homes in Wheatley Heights because they handle the weather, they’re affordable, and they last 20 to 30 years when installed correctly. Architectural shingles are thicker and more durable than three-tab shingles, and they hold up better in high winds.
Metal roofing is another solid option if you’re planning to stay in your home long-term. It costs more upfront, but it lasts 40 to 70 years, it doesn’t rot or crack, and it sheds snow and ice better than shingles. Metal roofs also handle the kind of wind you get during coastal storms without losing panels or seams.
Your roof pitch, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in the home all factor into the decision. We’ll walk you through the options and explain what makes sense for your situation without pushing you toward the most expensive choice.
A new roof typically adds value, but don’t expect to recoup 100% of the cost when you sell. Most homeowners see a return of 50% to 70% depending on the local market and the condition of the rest of the home.
What a new roof does is make your home easier to sell. Buyers in Wheatley Heights don’t want to inherit roof problems, and most lenders won’t approve a mortgage if the roof is in bad shape. A newer roof also helps during inspections because it’s one less thing that can kill a deal.
If you’re planning to sell within a year or two, a roof replacement makes sense. If you’re staying put, the real value is in not dealing with leaks, damage, and emergency repairs every time a storm rolls through.
If your roof is less than 15 years old and the damage is isolated to one area, a repair usually makes sense. Missing shingles after a storm, a small leak around a chimney, or damaged flashing can often be fixed without replacing the whole roof.
If your roof is over 20 years old, if you’re seeing multiple leaks, or if large sections of shingles are curling, cracking, or missing granules, replacement is the smarter move. Patching an old roof just buys you time. You’ll end up replacing it eventually, and every repair you make is money you won’t get back.
We’ll give you an honest assessment when we inspect your roof. If a repair will hold up, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing money at a roof that’s done, we’ll tell you that too.
