Hear From Our Clients
Picture this: heavy rain hitting your roof and you’re not scrambling for buckets. Dark storm clouds roll in and you’re not holding your breath waiting for drips. Your energy bills drop because your roof finally insulates properly instead of letting air leak through damaged areas.
Your home value jumps significantly. Neighbors notice the transformation. Real estate agents tell you it’s one of the best investments you could make.
Most importantly, you stop worrying. No more emergency repair calls. No more wondering if this storm will be the one that causes serious damage. That’s what proper roof replacement delivers – decades of protection and peace of mind.
We’ve protected Long Island families for over 10 years. We’re not some massive corporation that treats you like a number, and we’re definitely not fly-by-night contractors who disappear after the job.
We’re your neighbors in Suffolk County. We drive past our completed projects daily, which means our reputation is literally on display throughout Wheatley Heights and surrounding communities.
We understand Long Island’s unique challenges – from nor’easters that test every shingle to summer heat that can warp inferior materials. Our team knows local building codes, understands what insurance companies require after storm damage, and selects materials proven to perform in our coastal climate. We’re fully licensed and insured because protecting you protects us too.
We start with a comprehensive roof inspection, examining everything from surface shingles down to structural decking. You receive detailed photos and a written assessment explaining exactly what needs attention and why.
Our complete tear-off process removes everything down to the wooden deck. We replace any damaged or rotted wood, then install our seven-part weather protection system: roof deck protection, ice and water barriers, starter strip shingles, architectural shingles, proper attic ventilation, ridge cap shingles, and vented soffit systems.
Throughout your project, you’ll receive progress photos showing the work as it happens. We protect your landscaping with tarps, clean up debris daily, and most Wheatley Heights homes are completed within one to two days. You’re never left wondering what’s happening or when we’ll finish.

Your roof replacement includes everything needed to handle Wheatley Heights’ challenging weather patterns. We install architectural asphalt shingles rated for high winds and impact resistance, or upgrade to metal roofing for maximum durability and energy efficiency.
Every installation addresses ventilation issues common in Long Island homes. Proper airflow prevents ice dams during winter storms and reduces cooling costs during humid summers. We upgrade flashing around chimneys, skylights, and roof penetrations where most leaks originate.
Wheatley Heights sits in a unique microclimate where coastal moisture meets inland temperature swings. Our material selection accounts for these conditions – from underlayment that handles humidity to shingles that resist algae growth common in our area. The result is protection engineered for your specific location, not generic solutions that might work elsewhere but fail here.
Roof replacement costs in Wheatley Heights typically range from $12,000 to $28,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. A standard 1,500 square foot ranch with architectural shingles usually runs $15,000 to $22,000, while larger colonial-style homes may cost $20,000 to $28,000.
Metal roofing costs more upfront – typically $18,000 to $35,000 – but lasts 50+ years compared to 25-30 years for asphalt shingles. The investment often pays for itself through energy savings and eliminated maintenance costs.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down material costs, labor, permits, and cleanup so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, just transparent pricing that lets you make informed decisions.
Most residential roof replacements in Wheatley Heights are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Simple ranch homes often finish in a single day, while larger or more complex roofs with multiple levels, dormers, or extensive chimney work may require two full days.
We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t start your project if storms are predicted. Once we begin tear-off, we work efficiently to get your home weather-tight as quickly as possible. Our crews are experienced and well-coordinated to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Timeline can extend if we discover significant structural damage requiring deck replacement, but we’ll discuss any delays immediately with photos showing why additional work is necessary. Most homeowners appreciate knowing their roof structure is solid rather than covering up problems.
Our full roof replacement includes complete tear-off of existing materials down to wooden decking, thorough inspection and replacement of any damaged structural components, and installation of a comprehensive weather protection system designed for Long Island conditions.
You receive roof deck protection, ice and water shield barriers, starter strip shingles, premium architectural shingles or metal roofing, proper ridge ventilation, and ridge cap installation. We upgrade all flashing around chimneys, plumbing vents, exhaust fans, and other roof penetrations using high-quality materials.
The service includes complete debris removal, daily cleanup, property protection during installation, and detailed progress photos. We handle permit applications where required and provide manufacturer warranties plus our own workmanship guarantee. Everything needed for a complete, professional installation.
Absolutely. We work directly with homeowners’ insurance companies throughout the storm damage claim process. Our team conducts thorough damage assessments, documents issues with detailed photos and reports, and provides the technical information insurance adjusters need to process claims efficiently.
We’ll meet with your insurance adjuster on-site, explain the scope of damage, and advocate for proper repairs rather than quick fixes that fail later. Our detailed estimates help ensure your claim covers necessary work, and we handle both insurance-covered portions and any additional upgrades you choose.
Many Wheatley Heights homeowners discover their storm damage is more extensive than initially apparent. We identify hidden issues like compromised decking or inadequate ventilation that should be addressed during replacement, helping you maximize your insurance benefits while ensuring long-term protection.
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for high winds and impact resistance perform excellently in Wheatley Heights’ climate while offering the best value for most homeowners. Brands like GAF Timberline and Owens Corning Duration resist our temperature swings, handle coastal humidity, and come with strong manufacturer warranties.
Metal roofing is increasingly popular for its superior durability and energy efficiency. It sheds snow and ice effectively, resists storm damage better than any other material, and reflects summer heat to reduce cooling costs. Standing seam metal systems can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance.
For Wheatley Heights specifically, we recommend materials with algae resistance due to our humid climate, impact ratings for hail protection, and wind ratings appropriate for coastal exposure. Quality underlayment and proper installation matter as much as shingle choice for long-term performance.
If your roof is over 20 years old and experiencing multiple issues – leaks in different areas, widespread missing or curling shingles, granule loss throughout – replacement typically makes more financial sense than ongoing repair costs. Age alone isn’t the deciding factor, but it’s a strong indicator.
After major storms, extensive damage across large roof areas often means replacement is more cost-effective than patching numerous problem spots. We provide honest assessments comparing repair costs versus replacement benefits, helping you make the decision that serves your long-term interests.
Consider replacement if you’re planning to sell within the next few years. A new roof significantly increases home value, eliminates buyer concerns about roofing issues, and often pays for itself in sale price improvements.
