Setauket Roof Replacement Specialists

Local Contractors Who Actually Stay Local

We’ve been replacing roofs throughout Suffolk County for years. We understand what Long Island’s coastal climate does to roofing systems—the salt air that corrodes flashing, the temperature swings that crack shingles, the nor’easters that test every installation. We’re the contractors your neighbors call when they need their roofs done right. Licensed, insured, and we stand behind our work with real warranties that actually mean something when problems arise. Setauket homeowners deal with unique challenges—older homes with complex rooflines, coastal weather that’s harder on roofing materials, and the reality that cutting corners here costs you more than doing it right the first time.

Complete Roof Replacement Process Setauket

How We Handle Your Entire Project

We start with a complete roof inspection—not just the obvious problem areas. Every inch of decking, flashing, ventilation, and structural components gets checked. You receive a detailed assessment with photos showing exactly what needs attention and why. The full tear-off comes next. Everything comes off down to the decking, which lets us address hidden problems before they become expensive disasters. New underlayment, proper flashing, and quality materials go on according to manufacturer specs and Suffolk County building codes. Installation happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your routine. We protect your property, work safely, and clean up completely each day. You get daily progress updates and final documentation including warranty registration and maintenance guidelines.

Setauket Roofing Materials And Options

What's Included In Every Replacement

Every roof replacement includes complete material removal, decking inspection and repair as needed, new underlayment, proper ventilation systems, and professional installation of your chosen roofing materials. We handle permits, disposal, and thorough cleanup. For Setauket’s coastal climate, we typically recommend GAF or Owens Corning architectural shingles or metal roofing systems. Asphalt shingles offer excellent value and last 25-30 years in our weather conditions. Metal roofing costs more initially but provides 50+ year lifespans and superior energy efficiency—increasingly important as Long Island summers get hotter. The choice depends on your home’s architecture, your budget, and your long-term plans. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation, not what we want to sell you.

What does roof replacement cost in Setauket, NY?

Roof replacement in Setauket typically costs $8,000-$25,000, depending on size, materials, and complexity. A standard 1,500 square foot asphalt shingle roof runs $12,000-$15,000 including complete tear-off, disposal, and professional installation. Metal roofing costs $15,000-$30,000 for the same size but lasts twice as long and provides better energy efficiency. Complex rooflines, multiple chimneys, or structural repairs can increase costs, but you’ll know everything upfront. We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all costs—materials, labor, permits, disposal. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no pressure tactics. Just clear pricing so you can make an informed decision.

When should I replace instead of repair my roof?

If your roof is over 20 years old or you’re dealing with multiple leaks, replacement makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. Repairs might seem cheaper but add up quickly without addressing underlying problems. Replace when you see missing or curling shingles, granules filling your gutters, daylight visible through roof boards, or water stains on interior ceilings. If you’re facing $3,000+ in repairs, replacement is usually the smarter investment. A new roof increases your home’s value, improves energy efficiency, and eliminates worry about water damage. With Setauket home values averaging $875K, protecting that investment with a quality roof makes financial sense.

How long does roof replacement take?

Most Setauket roof replacements take 2-4 days, depending on size and complexity. A typical ranch home might be completed in 2 days, while larger or more complex roofs can take up to a week. Weather is the main variable—we don’t install materials in rain or high winds. If weather interrupts work, we’ll cover your home with tarps to protect your interior until conditions improve. We schedule efficiently and provide daily progress updates. The goal is minimizing disruption to your routine while ensuring the work is done properly and safely, not just quickly.

What roofing materials work best on Long Island?

Architectural asphalt shingles and metal roofing perform best in Long Island’s coastal climate. Quality asphalt shingles handle temperature fluctuations and resist wind uplift when properly installed. Look for impact-resistant options rated for high winds. Metal roofing excels here because it reflects heat, resists salt air corrosion, and handles thermal expansion without problems. It requires virtually no maintenance and can last 50+ years with proper installation. Avoid basic 3-tab shingles—they don’t hold up to our weather extremes. Cedar shakes require too much maintenance in our humid climate. Clay tiles work but are expensive and require structural reinforcement on most homes.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspection scheduling. Suffolk County requires permits for roof replacements, and we’re familiar with local building codes and inspection requirements. Permits typically take 1-2 weeks to process, which we factor into your project timeline. We coordinate with building inspectors and ensure all work meets or exceeds code requirements before final approval. You don’t deal with any paperwork or scheduling—we handle everything from permit application through final inspection sign-off. This ensures your project is completely legal and properly documented for insurance and resale purposes.

What warranties come with your roof replacement?

We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and installation. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers like GAF or Owens Corning and range from 25-50 years depending on the product. Our workmanship warranty covers installation for 10 years. If problems arise from how we installed your roof—flashing issues, ventilation problems, installation-related leaks—we fix them at no cost to you. We help you register manufacturer warranties properly and provide all documentation needed for insurance. Having proper warranties protects your investment and gives you recourse if anything goes wrong.
