Hear From Our Clients
When your roof works the way it should, you sleep better during storms. No more buckets catching drips. No more wondering if this winter will be the one that causes real damage.
You get a roof that handles everything Long Island weather throws at it. From nor’easters that dump two feet of snow to summer storms with driving rain and high winds. Your home stays dry, your family stays comfortable, and your energy bills stay reasonable.
The right roof installation means decades of protection, not years of repairs. You’re investing in peace of mind, not just shingles and nails.
We’ve been protecting Stony Brook homes for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.
Suffolk County weather is tough on roofs. The salt air, the freeze-thaw cycles, the occasional hurricane. We’ve seen every type of damage these conditions can cause, and we know how to build roofs that last.
Our team lives and works in this community. When we install your roof, we’re not just completing a job—we’re protecting neighbors. That’s why we use materials rated for coastal conditions and installation methods that account for Long Island’s unique climate challenges.
First, we inspect your roof thoroughly. Not just from the ground with binoculars, but up on the roof checking every detail. We look for wind damage, water penetration, structural issues, and anything else that could cause problems.
Then we explain exactly what we found and what needs to be done. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No vague “we’ll figure it out as we go” approach.
When work begins, we protect your property first. Tarps, magnetic nail sweepers, and careful material handling. Our crew works efficiently but never rushes. At the end of each day, your property is clean and secure. When we’re finished, you get a roof that’s built to last and a warranty that proves it.

We handle every aspect of roofing in Stony Brook. New installations, complete replacements, storm damage repairs, and routine maintenance. Whether you need asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or flat roof systems, we have the expertise and materials.
Stony Brook homeowners face unique challenges. The proximity to Long Island Sound means salt exposure that can accelerate material degradation. The mature tree canopy in many neighborhoods creates debris and moisture issues. University area rental properties need durable, cost-effective solutions.
We stock materials specifically chosen for these local conditions. Impact-resistant shingles for hail damage. Algae-resistant options for shaded areas. Premium underlayments for ice dam protection. Everything we install is designed to perform well in Suffolk County’s climate and last for decades, not just years.
Most residential roof replacements in Stony Brook take 2-4 days, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. We start by completely removing the old roofing materials, then inspect the decking for any damage that needs repair.
The actual installation follows a systematic process: new underlayment, drip edge, starter strips, then the roofing material itself. We never rush this process because proper installation is what determines how long your roof will last.
Weather can extend the timeline, especially during Long Island’s winter months. We don’t install roofing materials when conditions aren’t safe or when temperature and moisture levels could compromise the installation quality.
Asphalt shingles rated for high winds and impact resistance perform well in Stony Brook. We typically recommend architectural shingles with algae resistance, since the humidity and tree coverage in many areas can promote algae growth.
For homes closer to the water, we often suggest upgraded underlayments and ice-and-water shield in vulnerable areas. The salt air and freeze-thaw cycles require materials that can handle both corrosion and thermal expansion.
Metal roofing is becoming more popular for its durability and energy efficiency. It handles snow loads well, sheds ice effectively, and can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. The initial cost is higher, but the long-term value often makes sense for Stony Brook homeowners.
Yes, we work with homeowners and insurance companies regularly. Long Island sees its share of severe weather, and we understand the claims process from both sides.
We can document damage properly, provide detailed estimates that insurance adjusters understand, and work within approved budgets. Our goal is to restore your roof to its pre-damage condition using quality materials and proper installation methods.
The key is acting quickly after storm damage. Temporary repairs might be needed to prevent further damage while the claim is processed. We can handle emergency tarping and temporary fixes, then complete the permanent repairs once everything is approved.
Age is the biggest factor. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Stony Brook last 20-25 years, depending on the quality of materials and installation. If your roof is approaching that age and showing multiple problem areas, replacement usually makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs.
Look for widespread shingle damage, multiple leaks, or granule loss that exposes the underlying mat. If you’re finding shingle granules in your gutters regularly, or if shingles are cracking, curling, or missing, these are signs that the roof is reaching the end of its useful life.
We provide honest assessments. If repairs will solve your problems for several more years, we’ll tell you that. But if you’re going to face ongoing issues and expense, replacement is usually the better long-term investment.
Our labor warranty covers workmanship issues for several years after installation. This includes problems with flashing, proper shingle installation, ventilation, and any other aspect of the installation process.
Material warranties come from the manufacturer and vary by product. Standard asphalt shingles typically carry 25-30 year warranties, while premium products may offer lifetime coverage. We help you understand exactly what’s covered and for how long.
The most important thing is proper installation. Even the best materials won’t perform well if they’re not installed correctly. Our warranty gives you confidence that both the materials and the workmanship will protect your home for decades.
Roof replacement costs vary significantly based on size, materials, and complexity. A typical Stony Brook home might range from $15,000 to $30,000 for a complete asphalt shingle replacement, while premium materials or complex roof designs cost more.
Factors that affect pricing include the number of layers being removed, roof pitch and accessibility, the need for decking repairs, and the complexity of features like dormers, chimneys, and skylights. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs.
Financing options are available for qualified homeowners. Sometimes it makes sense to spread the cost over time rather than delay necessary work. We can discuss payment options that fit your budget while ensuring your home gets the protection it needs.
