Roof Replacement Process Long Island

Here's How We Replace Your Roof

First, we come out and thoroughly inspect your roof. We get up there and check every square inch, not just look from the ground. You get a detailed assessment of what needs replacing and what can stay.

Next, we strip everything down to the decking and replace any damaged wood. No shortcuts here—if it’s questionable, it gets replaced. Your roof needs a solid foundation to last.

Then we install a complete weather protection system: proper underlayment, quality shingles rated for coastal conditions, and ventilation that actually works. Every step gets checked before we move to the next one. When we’re finished, you get a roof that’s built right from the foundation up.

How much does roof replacement cost in Amity Harbor, NY?

Roof replacement in Amity Harbor typically runs $5,100 to $31,800 depending on your home’s size and the materials you choose. A standard 1,500 square foot roof averages around $9,800 for quality asphalt shingles.The price range depends on what you’re dealing with. Simple ranch house with easy access? Lower end. Two-story home with multiple angles and chimneys? Higher end. We give you exact numbers after we actually look at your specific situation.Keep in mind that going cheap isn’t always smart, especially here on Long Island. You want materials that can handle coastal weather, not budget shingles that’ll need replacing in five years.
Most roof replacements in Amity Harbor take 2-5 days, depending on size and weather. We’re doing complete tear-off and replacement, not just covering up old problems.Weather’s the biggest variable. If we get rain or high winds, we stop work until conditions are safe. We’d rather take an extra day than risk your home or our crew’s safety.We also coordinate with Suffolk County for any required inspections, which can add a day to the timeline. But we handle all that scheduling so you don’t have to chase down inspectors or worry about permits.
For Amity Harbor’s coastal location, you want architectural asphalt shingles rated for high winds—at least Class 4 impact resistance. These handle the salt air, temperature changes, and storm conditions we get here.Metal roofing is another solid choice, especially if you’re planning to stay in the house long-term. It costs more upfront but lasts 40+ years and handles hurricane-force winds better than anything else.Avoid basic 3-tab shingles or any “budget” options. They might save money today, but they’ll fail quickly in Long Island’s weather. You’ll end up paying twice—once for the cheap roof, then again for the replacement.
Yes, Suffolk County requires permits for complete roof replacements. The permit process typically takes 3-7 business days and costs around $200-400 depending on your home’s size.We handle all the permit applications and scheduling for you. That includes submitting the proper drawings, coordinating with county inspectors, and making sure everything meets current building codes.Don’t skip the permit—Suffolk County takes building codes seriously, especially for roofing. An unpermitted roof replacement can cause major problems when you try to sell your house or file insurance claims.
If your roof is over 20 years old or you’re dealing with multiple leaks, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. One or two isolated problems might be repairable, but widespread issues mean the whole system is failing.Look for missing shingles, granules in your gutters, or daylight showing through your attic. Water stains on ceilings are another red flag—by the time you see those, there’s usually more damage than what’s visible.We’ll give you an honest assessment during our inspection. If repairs will get you another 5-10 years, we’ll tell you. If your roof is done, we’ll explain why replacement is the better investment.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Material warranties typically run 20-50 years depending on what shingles you choose. Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for 10 years minimum.The warranty covers everything from wind damage to installation defects. If something fails because of our work, we fix it at no charge. If it’s a manufacturing defect, we coordinate with the manufacturer to get it resolved.Make sure you understand exactly what any roofing warranty covers before signing. Some companies offer impressive-sounding warranties that don’t actually cover much. We explain everything upfront so there are no surprises later.
