Roof Replacement Process

Here's How We Handle It

First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just from the ground with binoculars, but a real inspection where we can tell you exactly what’s wrong and what needs fixing. You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and order materials. Our crews show up on schedule and protect your property before starting work. We strip the old roof, inspect the decking for any damage, and install your new roof system properly.

Roof replacement costs in West Babylon typically range from $8,000 to $25,000 depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, and material choices. A standard 1,500 square foot ranch with architectural shingles usually runs $12,000-$16,000. Larger homes, steep pitches, multiple dormers, or premium materials increase the cost. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Most roof replacements in West Babylon take 2-4 days depending on size and weather. A typical ranch home gets completed in 2-3 days. Larger two-story homes or complex rooflines might take 4-5 days. Weather delays happen – we won’t rush work in unsafe conditions or compromise quality to meet arbitrary deadlines. We protect your home with tarps if rain interrupts the project. You’ll know the timeline upfront and we keep you updated if anything changes.
Architectural shingles perform best in Long Island’s climate. They handle wind, rain, and temperature swings better than basic 3-tab shingles. Look for shingles rated for high winds – we typically recommend products rated for 110+ mph winds. Metal roofing also works well here, especially for coastal areas. Avoid cheap materials that won’t last through our weather. The small upfront savings aren’t worth replacing your roof again in 10 years instead of 20-25 years.
Yes, roof replacement in West Babylon requires building permits. The Town of Babylon requires permits for complete roof replacements, and inspections during the project. We handle all permit applications and scheduling inspections as part of our service. Permits typically cost $200-$400 depending on your home’s size. Don’t let contractors skip permits – unpermitted work creates problems when you sell your home and may void your insurance coverage if there’s a claim.
If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re dealing with multiple leaks, missing shingles, or granule loss, replacement usually makes more sense than repairs. Repairs work for isolated damage on newer roofs. But when you’re fixing something every year, you’re throwing money away. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repairs will actually solve your problems or if you’re better off replacing the whole roof. Sometimes spending more upfront saves you thousands in ongoing repairs.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers and typically last 20-50 years depending on the product. Our workmanship warranty covers installation for 5 years. This means if there’s a leak or problem caused by our installation, we fix it at no cost. We also help you file manufacturer warranty claims if there’s ever a material defect. Get all warranty information in writing and keep it with your home records.
