Roof Replacement Process Shirley

Here's How We Handle It

First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just from the ground with binoculars, but up there examining the real condition of your shingles, underlayment, and decking. We’ll tell you exactly what needs replacing and what doesn’t.

You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No surprises, no hidden fees that show up later. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections so you don’t have to deal with town offices.

During installation, we protect your property and clean up daily. Most roof replacements take 2-3 days depending on size and complexity. We work efficiently but we don’t rush the details that matter. When we’re done, you get a roof that’s built to handle whatever Long Island weather brings next.

Everything Your Roof Needs

Complete tear-off and replacement means we remove everything down to the decking, inspect for damage, and rebuild your roof properly. We don’t just slap new shingles over old problems.

Every roof replacement includes cleanup and disposal of old materials. We coordinate dumpster delivery, handle all debris removal, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. Your job is to pick out shingle colors. Our job is everything else.

Roof replacement costs in Shirley typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Ranch homes usually cost less than two-story colonials. Premium materials like architectural shingles or metal roofing cost more upfront but last longer in our coastal climate. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners.
Most roof replacements in Shirley take 2-3 days for completion. Single-story ranch homes often finish in two days, while larger two-story homes typically require three days. Weather delays can extend the timeline, but we monitor forecasts carefully and communicate any schedule changes immediately. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Complex rooflines or structural repairs may add time, but we’ll discuss timeline expectations during your estimate appointment.
Architectural shingles perform exceptionally well in Long Island’s coastal climate, offering superior wind resistance and durability compared to basic three-tab shingles. Metal roofing is increasingly popular for its longevity and energy efficiency. We recommend materials rated for high wind speeds due to coastal storm exposure. Proper underlayment and ice dam protection are crucial regardless of shingle choice. We’ll recommend specific materials based on your home’s exposure, budget, and aesthetic preferences during your consultation.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies on storm damage claims. We provide detailed documentation, photos, and estimates that insurance adjusters need for claim approval. Our team knows what insurance companies look for and how to present damage assessments professionally. We can meet with adjusters on-site and answer technical questions about repair scope and costs. This experience helps homeowners navigate the claims process more smoothly and often results in better claim outcomes.
Complete roof replacement becomes necessary when shingles are curling, cracking, or missing granules extensively. Multiple leaks, daylight visible through roof boards, or sagging sections indicate structural issues requiring full replacement. Roofs over 20 years old in Long Island’s climate often need replacement even without obvious damage. We provide honest assessments and won’t recommend replacement unless truly necessary. Sometimes targeted repairs can extend roof life several years, and we’ll tell you when that’s the better option.
Roof replacement in Shirley requires building permits from the Town of Brookhaven. We handle all permit applications, submissions, and coordinate required inspections on your behalf. Permits typically take 3-5 business days for approval. The process includes plan review and final inspection upon completion. We ensure all work meets current building codes and energy efficiency requirements. Permit costs are included in our estimates so you won’t face unexpected fees during the project.
