Town snapshot
Local considerations
The Town of Southampton sits squarely in the ASCE 7-22 130 mph ultimate-wind-speed zone — the highest Long Island designation. The 2020 NYS Residential Code requires hurricane straps, six-nail shingle nailing, and a stricter sheathing-edge fastening schedule on every new roof here.
Salt-air exposure in Southampton is at the heaviest end of Long Island — direct ocean and Shinnecock Bay frontage. Stainless ring-shank nails, aluminum or stainless drip edge, and Galvalume step flashing are not optional here; they're our default specification on every Southampton re-roof.
Cedar-shake roofs are still common on older estate-area Southampton homes (Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, Water Mill). We install both replacement cedar shake and architectural asphalt shingle — many homeowners now switch to architectural asphalt for cost and fire-rating reasons.
The incorporated villages of Westhampton Beach, Quogue, North Haven, Sagaponack, and Sag Harbor all maintain their own village building departments and several have historic-district architectural review boards (ARB) that review exterior color and roofing material changes. We file village approvals in parallel with the Town of Southampton building permit.
All of Southampton is inside PSEG Long Island service territory, but residents in incorporated villages may have additional historic-district guidance on visible solar installations. We design array layouts that meet PSEG LI's interconnection requirements and clear village ARB review when applicable.

Frequently asked questions
Is Southampton in the 130 mph hurricane wind zone?
Yes. The Town of Southampton sits squarely in the ASCE 7-22 130 mph ultimate-wind-speed zone — the highest Long Island designation. Hurricane straps, six-nail shingle nailing, and stricter sheathing-edge fastening apply.
Do you install cedar-shake roofs in Southampton?
Yes. Cedar shake is still common on older estate-area Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, and Water Mill homes. We install both replacement cedar and architectural asphalt; many homeowners now switch to architectural asphalt for cost and fire rating.
Does the village historic district control my roof color in Southampton?
Inside Westhampton Beach, Quogue, Sag Harbor, North Haven, and Sagaponack, the village ARB reviews exterior color and roofing material changes. We file village approvals alongside the Town of Southampton building permit.
Can I put solar on a Sag Harbor or Water Mill home?
Yes — and many homeowners do. We design layouts that satisfy PSEG Long Island interconnection rules and historic-district visibility guidance. Some villages prefer rear-roof or low-profile black-on-black arrays.
Do you serve the entire South Fork from Hampton Bays to Sagaponack?
Yes. Hampton Bays, Westhampton, Westhampton Beach, Quogue, East Quogue, Hampton Bays, Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, Water Mill, and Sagaponack are all in the Town of Southampton service area.
Why is salt-air corrosion such a focus in Southampton?
Direct Atlantic Ocean and Shinnecock Bay frontage means salt aerosol settles on every roof and exterior fastener. Untreated steel drip edge and standard fasteners can fail in under 10 years here; we always spec marine-grade.
