Roof Replacement Process

Here's Exactly How It Works

First, we inspect your current roof and give you a detailed written estimate for roof replacement. No surprises, no hidden costs – you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

Next, we handle all permits and scheduling. We protect your property, landscaping, and belongings before removing your old roof. Most residential roofs are completely torn off and replaced in 1-2 days, weather permitting.

We install new decking if needed, apply proper underlayment, and install your new roofing system according to manufacturer specifications. Every step gets inspected to ensure it meets Suffolk County building codes.

Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished job with you. You get all warranty information and maintenance recommendations to keep your new roof performing for decades.

Roof replacement costs in Saint James typically range from $15,000 to $30,000 depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, and material choices. Factors affecting cost include square footage, number of layers to remove, decking repairs needed, and whether you choose asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, or premium materials. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find that financing options make replacement affordable, especially when you factor in energy savings and eliminated repair costs.
Most residential roof replacements in Saint James are completed in 1-2 days for typical single-family homes. Larger or more complex roofs may take 3-4 days. Weather is the biggest factor – we don’t work in rain or high winds for safety and quality reasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if weather causes delays. The actual work happens quickly once we start, but we take time to properly protect your property and ensure every step meets our quality standards.
Architectural asphalt shingles perform exceptionally well in Saint James because they’re designed to handle high winds, temperature fluctuations, and salt air exposure. We typically recommend GAF or CertainTeed products with wind ratings of 110+ mph for Long Island homes. These materials resist algae growth, maintain their appearance longer, and come with strong manufacturer warranties. For homeowners wanting premium options, we also install metal roofing and slate, but architectural shingles offer the best combination of performance, longevity, and value for most Suffolk County homes.
Yes, we work with homeowners’ insurance companies regularly, especially after storm damage. We can meet with your adjuster, provide detailed documentation of damage, and help ensure your claim covers all necessary work. Many Saint James homeowners don’t realize their insurance covers more than just obvious damage – things like granule loss, seal failures, and underlying issues often qualify for coverage. We’ll review your policy details and help you understand what’s covered. Even if insurance doesn’t cover everything, we can often work with what they provide plus reasonable out-of-pocket costs.
Absolutely. Every roof replacement comes with our workmanship warranty plus full manufacturer warranties on all materials. Our labor warranty covers installation issues, flashing problems, and any defects in our work. Material warranties vary by product but typically range from 25-50 years for shingles and lifetime warranties for premium materials. We stand behind every job completely – if something goes wrong due to our workmanship, we fix it at no cost to you. We’ve been serving Saint James long enough that our reputation depends on every job being done right the first time.
Yes, decking replacement is a normal part of many roof replacements, especially on older Saint James homes. We inspect all decking during tear-off and replace any sections that are rotted, warped, or structurally compromised. This is actually the perfect time to address decking issues because the old roof is already off. New decking ensures your new roof has a solid, flat foundation that will perform properly for decades. We use properly rated plywood or OSB decking that meets current building codes. Decking replacement adds to project cost, but it’s essential for a roof system that lasts.
