When storms hit Central Islip, you need contractors who understand Long Island weather patterns and won’t leave you scrambling for buckets.
Picture sleeping through the next nor’easter instead of lying awake listening for new leaks. No more buckets strategically placed around your living room. No more wondering if that small drip will turn into thousands in water damage.
When we complete your roof repair in Central Islip, your home stays dry during Long Island’s worst weather. Your insurance premiums don’t spike from repeated water damage claims. You stop worrying about your roof and start trusting it.
We handle everything from shingles ripped off by 70 mph winds to ice dam damage that’s been causing problems since winter. The repairs hold up because we use materials rated for coastal conditions and know exactly how Central Islip weather tests roofs.
Rich’s Construction has been repairing roofs across Suffolk County long enough to understand what works here and what doesn’t. We’re the contractors your neighbors recommend when they need reliable work done right.
Central Islip roofs face unique challenges. Salt air from the coast corrodes flashing faster than inland areas. Summer heat that hits 90+ degrees makes shingles expand and contract. Winter ice dams back up under shingles and cause leaks that don’t show up until spring.
We’re not the crew that shows up “sometime next week” or disappears after taking deposits. Every job gets professional attention whether it’s a small ranch or large colonial. We’re licensed, insured, and we clean up our mess.
We start with a thorough roof inspection and provide a detailed written estimate. No vague “approximately” numbers or costs that mysteriously appear later. You know exactly what needs fixing and why before we start.
We handle permits, coordinate material delivery, and schedule around your life. Damaged materials come off, rotted decking gets replaced where needed, and new materials go on with proper underlayment and flashing rated for Long Island conditions.
For storm damage, we document everything with photos and detailed assessments. We work directly with your insurance company and provide estimates that match their requirements. Many Central Islip homeowners discover their coverage includes underlayment, flashing, and gutters—not just visible shingles.

Central Islip sits right in the path of coastal storms that regularly pound Long Island. We’ve repaired damage from hailstorms that dropped ping pong ball-sized ice on Farmingville and Central Islip. We’ve fixed roofs torn apart by wind gusts exceeding 70 mph that snapped tree limbs across Suffolk County.
Your roof repair includes comprehensive storm damage assessment, not just obvious problems. We check for compromised sealing strips on shingles that look intact but will fail during the next storm. We inspect flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights where wind-driven rain penetrates.
Materials matter in coastal conditions. We install ice and water shield in valleys and eaves where Central Islip homes typically develop problems. Shingles get proper wind resistance ratings for Long Island’s exposure. Flashing gets sealed with products that handle salt air corrosion better than standard materials.
