Roof Replacement Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just from the ground – we get up there and assess the real condition. We’ll show you what needs to be replaced, what can stay, and explain why. You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and schedule the work around your life as much as possible. Our crew shows up when we say they will, protects your property during the work, and cleans up thoroughly each day.

During installation, we remove the old roofing down to the deck, inspect and repair any structural issues, then install your new roofing system properly. No shortcuts, no rushing. When we’re done, you get a final walkthrough and all your warranty information. The job isn’t finished until you’re completely satisfied with the work.

What's Included In Your Replacement

Your roof replacement includes complete removal of existing materials, inspection and repair of roof decking, installation of proper underlayment, and your new roofing system. We handle all permits, disposal of old materials, and thorough cleanup.

We use roofing materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s climate. That means impact-resistant shingles that can handle hail and wind, proper ventilation systems to prevent ice dams, and flashing details that actually keep water out long-term. Every roof gets the same attention to detail whether it’s a small ranch or a large colonial.

You also get our workmanship warranty on top of manufacturer warranties. If something isn’t right, we come back and fix it. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that cutting corners on installation just creates problems later, so we don’t. Your roof replacement is an investment in your home’s protection, and we treat it that way.

Roof replacement costs in East Patchogue typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 depending on your home’s size, the materials you choose, and the complexity of the job. Factors that affect price include roof pitch, number of chimneys and skylights, and whether any structural repairs are needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The investment makes sense when you consider that a quality roof replacement protects your home for 20-30 years and often increases your property value.
Most residential roof replacements in East Patchogue take 2-4 days to complete, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. Smaller homes might be finished in two days, while larger or more complex roofs can take up to a week. We work efficiently but never rush the job. Weather delays happen – we won’t install roofing materials in rain or high winds because it compromises the quality. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the project.
Insurance coverage depends on why your roof needs replacement and your specific policy. Storm damage, hail, or sudden events are typically covered, while normal wear and aging usually aren’t. We can help you document damage for insurance claims and work with your adjuster to ensure all necessary repairs are included. Many homeowners are surprised to learn their insurance covers more than they expected. We’ll provide detailed estimates and photos that support your claim, and we’re experienced in working with insurance companies to get claims processed properly.
Architectural shingles perform best in Long Island’s coastal climate because they resist wind uplift and handle temperature changes well. We typically recommend impact-resistant shingles rated for high winds since nor’easters and coastal storms are common here. Metal roofing is another excellent option – it sheds snow easily, resists salt air corrosion, and can last 40+ years. The key is proper installation with adequate ventilation to prevent ice dams and moisture problems. We’ll recommend materials based on your home’s specific needs, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in the house.
Yes, roof replacement requires building permits in East Patchogue and throughout Suffolk County. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, and inspections ensure the work meets local building codes. Some homeowners try to skip permits to save money, but this creates problems when you sell your house or file insurance claims. Permitted work also ensures you get proper inspections during installation, which protects you from substandard workmanship. We’re familiar with local requirements and make sure everything is done properly.
If your roof is over 20 years old, has multiple leak areas, or shows widespread shingle damage, replacement usually makes more sense than repairs. Missing or curling shingles, granule loss, and daylight visible through the roof boards are signs replacement is needed. Isolated damage from a recent storm might only need repairs, but if you’re calling for roof work every few years, replacement will save money long-term. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your roof’s condition and explain your options. Sometimes a few strategic repairs can buy you time to plan and budget for replacement, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case.
