Roof Replacement Process Holbrook

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we come out and actually look at your roof – not just from the ground. We check the decking, the flashing, the ventilation, everything that matters. You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials and labor so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and schedule everything around your life, not ours. We protect your landscaping and belongings before we start tearing anything off.

During installation, we replace damaged decking, install proper underlayment, and use quality shingles that make sense for Long Island weather. We clean up completely each day because it’s your home, not a construction site. When we’re done, you get warranties on both materials and our workmanship, plus a final walkthrough so you can see exactly what was done.

Everything Your Roof Needs

Your roof replacement includes more than just new shingles. We replace damaged or outdated decking, install proper ice and water shield where it’s needed most, and make sure your ventilation system actually works to prevent ice dams and moisture problems.

We handle the flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights – the spots where most leaks start. If your gutters need attention or your attic ventilation isn’t right, we’ll tell you upfront instead of letting you discover problems later.

Every job includes complete cleanup and disposal of old materials. We also work with your insurance company if storm damage is involved, helping you navigate the claims process without the runaround. You get manufacturer warranties on materials plus our guarantee on the installation work.

Roof replacement costs in Holbrook typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 depending on your home’s size, the materials you choose, and what we find when we remove the old roof. A basic asphalt shingle replacement on a 1,500 square foot ranch runs differently than a complex two-story colonial with multiple angles and features. We give you detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly where your money goes. The investment makes sense when you consider that a quality roof replacement protects your home for 25-30 years and often pays for itself through energy savings and increased home value.
Most roof replacements in Holbrook take 2-4 days depending on your home’s size and complexity. A straightforward ranch house usually gets done in 2-3 days, while larger homes or those with multiple levels, dormers, or complex angles might take 4-5 days. Weather can extend the timeline since we won’t install roofing materials in rain or high winds – your roof needs to be done right, not fast. We protect your home with tarps if weather interrupts the work. Before we start, we give you a realistic timeline based on your specific project and current weather forecast so you can plan accordingly.
Architectural asphalt shingles handle Long Island weather best for most homes. They stand up to our nor’easters, resist wind damage, and deal well with the freeze-thaw cycles that crack lesser materials. We typically recommend shingles rated for 110+ mph winds since strong storms are common here. The key isn’t just the shingles though – proper underlayment and ice shield installation matter more than most people realize. Metal roofing works well too, especially if you’re tired of replacing shingles, but it costs more upfront. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your home, budget, and how long you plan to stay there.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help you through the claims process. We document storm damage thoroughly with photos and detailed reports that insurance adjusters need to approve your claim. Many homeowners don’t realize that insurance companies often approve more coverage when a qualified contractor explains what actually needs to be replaced versus repaired. We’ll meet with your adjuster, explain what we found, and make sure nothing gets missed. We don’t handle the paperwork for you, but we give you the documentation and expertise to get a fair settlement. Just remember that insurance typically covers sudden storm damage, not normal wear and aging.
If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re seeing multiple problems – missing shingles, granules in the gutters, leaks in different spots, or curling edges – replacement usually makes more sense than patching. Repairs work when you have isolated damage from a recent storm or a few problem areas on an otherwise solid roof. We’ll be straight with you about what makes financial sense. Sometimes spending $3,000 on repairs for a roof that needs replacing in two years is throwing money away. Other times, strategic repairs buy you several more years to plan and budget for replacement. We look at your roof’s overall condition, not just the immediate problem.
Yes, we’re fully licensed in New York State and carry comprehensive liability insurance plus workers compensation coverage. This protects you if someone gets hurt on your property or if something goes wrong during the work. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project – and you should ask for it from any contractor you’re considering. Too many homeowners get burned by uninsured contractors who disappear when problems arise. Our licensing means we follow local building codes and permit requirements in Holbrook. We handle permit applications when they’re required and make sure all work meets or exceeds local standards. Don’t risk your home and investment with unlicensed contractors.
