Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof replacement take on a typical Long Island home?
Most 1,500-2,500 sq ft asphalt re-roofs are completed in 1-3 working days, weather permitting. We tear off, dry-in, and shingle the same day so your roof is never left exposed overnight.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Suffolk County?
Most Suffolk County towns (Brookhaven, Islip, Smithtown, Huntington, Babylon) require a building permit for a full tear-off and re-roof, but not for minor patch repairs. We pull and post the permit on your behalf.
Will salt air from the South Shore wear my roof out faster?
Yes — salt-air corrosion attacks unprotected fasteners, drip edge, and step flashing. We use stainless or aluminum drip edge, ring-shank nails, and Galvalume flashing on south-shore homes from Babylon out to the Hamptons.
Can you install a roof in winter on Long Island?
Yes, asphalt shingles can be installed year-round on Long Island as long as deck temps stay above ~25 °F. We hand-seal in cold weather so the shingles bond before the first storm.
What roofing brands do you install?
We are a GAF Certified Roofer and primarily install GAF Timberline HDZ. We also install Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and impact-rated Class-4 shingles on request.
How long does a new asphalt roof last on Long Island?
A properly ventilated GAF Timberline HDZ roof carries a lifetime limited material warranty. Real-world life on Long Island is typically 25-35 years depending on tree cover, ventilation, and salt exposure.
