Roof Leak Repair on Long Island, NY
NovaLee Solutions diagnoses and repairs active roof leaks across Suffolk County and Long Island, NY — usually within the same week. Most leaks trace back to flashing around chimneys, skylights, and pipe boots rather than the shingles themselves. We tarp first if needed, then perform a permanent repair with matched shingles, new ice-and-water shield, and properly sealed flashing.

- 3. Exterior inspection: chimneys, skylights, valleys, pipe boots, ridge cap, and step flashing.
- 4. Temporary tarp if active rain is in the forecast and a permanent repair cannot happen the same day.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you respond to a roof leak on Long Island?
We aim to be on site within 1-3 business days for non-emergency leaks. During named storms or nor'easters we prioritize active interior leaks and can usually tarp within 24 hours.
Most of the time, what is actually leaking on a roof?
On Long Island the most common leak sources are pipe boots that have dried out, step flashing where a wall meets the roof, valleys clogged with debris, and skylight perimeter flashing. Failed shingles are less common than failed transitions.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover the repair?
Insurance typically covers leaks caused by a sudden event (wind, hail, falling tree limb) but not gradual wear. We provide photo documentation and an itemized invoice so you can file the claim.
Can you repair a leak under solar panels?
Yes — but it almost always means temporarily removing the affected panel array. See our Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall service for the combined scope.
Do you patch repairs in winter?
Yes. Active interior leaks cannot wait for spring on Long Island — we use cold-weather sealants and hand-seal shingles so the repair holds through freeze/thaw.
How long should a leak repair last?
A correctly installed flashing or boot repair will outlast the surrounding shingle field. If the surrounding shingles are at end of life, we will quote both options (patch vs. replace) so you can decide.
