Hear From Our Clients
You know that sinking feeling when another nor’easter’s coming and you’re not sure your roof can handle it. The stress of wondering if this storm will be the one that finally causes major damage to your home.
When we replace your roof, you get materials specifically chosen for Bay Shore’s brutal coastal conditions. Salt-resistant components, hurricane-grade installation, and proper ventilation that actually works in our humid climate. Your new roof isn’t just protection—it’s peace of mind during every storm season.
No more emergency tarps. No more ceiling stains. No more wondering if your insurance will cover the next round of damage because this time, your roof is built to last.
We’ve been handling roof replacements in Bay Shore and across Long Island for years. We’ve seen what hurricanes, nor’easters, and brutal winter storms do to roofs that weren’t properly installed.
Most contractors treat every roof the same. We don’t. Bay Shore’s coastal location means your roof faces salt air corrosion, hurricane-force winds, and ice dam formation that inland homes never deal with. We use installation techniques and materials specifically designed for these conditions.
Our crews live here too. We understand the local building requirements, the permit process, and exactly what it takes to build a roof that protects your family through whatever weather Long Island throws at us.
We start with a complete tear-off down to the roof deck. No shortcuts, no layering over problems. This lets us inspect and replace any damaged decking before it becomes a bigger issue.
Next comes our seven-part weather protection system: roof deck protection, leak barriers at vulnerable areas, starter strip shingles, your chosen roofing material, proper attic ventilation, ridge cap shingles, and vented soffit. Each component is installed to handle Bay Shore’s specific weather challenges.
The final step is thorough cleanup and inspection. We remove all debris, check for any missed nails in your yard, and walk through the completed work with you. You get documentation for your records and warranty information for future reference.

Your roof replacement includes everything needed to protect your Bay Shore home from our unique coastal weather. We use algae-resistant asphalt shingles or corrosion-resistant metal roofing, depending on your preference and budget.
Every installation includes upgraded underlayment for enhanced water protection, proper flashing around chimneys and vents, and hurricane straps where required by local building codes. We also install adequate attic ventilation to prevent ice dam formation during harsh winters.
Bay Shore homeowners face specific challenges from salt air accelerating corrosion and frequent storm systems testing roof integrity. Our material selection and installation methods address these local conditions, giving you a roof that performs well in our coastal environment rather than failing prematurely like standard installations often do.
Roof replacement costs in Bay Shore typically range from $8,000 to $25,000 for most residential homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Asphalt shingle replacements generally cost less than metal roofing, but metal lasts longer in our coastal environment.
The final cost depends on your roof’s square footage, the materials you choose, and any additional work needed like deck repair or chimney flashing replacement. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for without surprises.
Many Bay Shore homeowners find that investing in higher-quality, storm-resistant materials saves money long-term by avoiding frequent repairs and insurance claims from weather damage.
Asphalt shingles with algae-resistant properties and metal roofing with rust-resistant coatings perform best in Bay Shore’s coastal environment. Both materials effectively handle salt air exposure and varying weather conditions that damage standard roofing.
Metal roofing offers superior hurricane resistance and longevity, lasting 40-70 years compared to 20-30 years for asphalt shingles. However, asphalt shingles cost less upfront and can be an excellent choice when properly installed with quality underlayment and proper ventilation.
The key is using materials specifically rated for coastal applications and ensuring proper installation techniques that account for high winds, salt air corrosion, and the thermal expansion that occurs with our temperature fluctuations.
Most residential roof replacements in Bay Shore take 1-3 days to complete, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. Smaller homes under 1,500 square feet often finish in one day, while larger or more complex roofs may take longer.
Weather delays are common in our area, especially during storm season or winter months. We monitor forecasts carefully and adjust schedules to ensure quality installation. Rushing a roof replacement to beat weather often leads to problems later.
We coordinate with you throughout the process, providing daily updates on progress and any schedule changes. The goal is completing your roof properly rather than quickly, ensuring it protects your home for decades to come.
Yes, building permits are required for roof replacement in Bay Shore, NY. We handle the entire permit process for you, including applications, inspections, and ensuring all work meets local building codes and requirements.
Bay Shore follows New York State building codes with some local modifications, particularly regarding wind resistance and snow load requirements. Proper permits ensure your roof replacement meets these standards and protects your insurance coverage.
The permit process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the town’s current workload. We factor this timeline into your project schedule so there are no delays in starting your roof replacement work.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover roof replacement when damage results from covered events like hurricanes, hail storms, or fallen trees. However, coverage varies significantly between policies and insurance companies.
We help document storm damage properly for insurance claims, providing detailed photos, damage assessments, and repair estimates that insurance adjusters need. Proper documentation often makes the difference between approved and denied claims.
It’s important to report damage promptly and avoid temporary repairs that might complicate claims. We work directly with insurance companies when possible, helping streamline the claims process and ensuring you receive fair compensation for necessary repairs.
Key signs your Bay Shore roof needs replacement include missing or curling shingles, granules in gutters, daylight visible through the roof deck, and repeated leak issues. Roofs over 20 years old should be professionally inspected, especially after major storms.
Bay Shore’s coastal environment accelerates roof aging through salt air corrosion, thermal cycling, and frequent storm stress. What might be minor issues elsewhere can quickly become major problems in our climate, making early replacement more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
We provide free roof inspections that identify current problems and help you plan for replacement before emergency situations arise. This proactive approach saves money and prevents the stress of dealing with roof failure during bad weather.
