You know that sinking feeling when storm warnings hit and you’re not sure your roof can handle it. That stops now.
When your roof is properly installed with quality materials, storm season becomes just another weather forecast. No more middle-of-the-night leak emergencies. No more water stains spreading across your ceiling. No more wondering if this storm will be the one that finally does serious damage.
Your home stays dry, your family stays safe, and you actually sleep through storms instead of lying awake listening for drips. That’s what 22 years of Long Island roofing experience delivers.
We’ve been handling Long Island’s weather challenges since 2002. Twenty-two years of hurricanes, nor’easters, and everything in between.
Most roofing companies talk about quality. We’ve proven it through Hurricane Sandy, countless storms, and the daily beating that coastal weather delivers. Every job gets the same attention we’d give our own family’s home.
Wheatley Heights homeowners know us because we’re the ones who show up during emergencies. The ones who answer the phone at 2 AM when your roof is leaking. Fully licensed, bonded, and insured because your investment deserves that protection.
First, we inspect everything. Not just the obvious damage, but the flashing, underlayment, and structural elements most contractors skip. You get a detailed assessment of what needs fixing and why.
Next comes the real work. We remove damaged materials completely, upgrade your underlayment for better water protection, and install new roofing that’s built for Long Island weather. Every nail, every shingle, every piece of flashing gets installed to manufacturer specifications.
Finally, we clean up like we were never there. Your property gets restored, you get documentation of all work completed, and you get warranties that actually mean something. No surprises, no shortcuts, no wondering if the job was done right.

Your roofing project includes complete tear-off of old materials, upgraded ice and water shield protection, and architectural shingles designed for coastal wind resistance. We don’t cut corners on underlayment because that’s what keeps water out when shingles get damaged.
Wheatley Heights sits in a high-wind zone where standard installation practices fail. That’s why we use additional fasteners, enhanced flashing systems, and materials specifically rated for your area’s weather conditions. Many local homes built in the 1950s and 60s need structural upgrades to handle modern roofing materials properly.
You also get our 24/7 emergency service commitment. When the next big storm hits Long Island, you’re not waiting days for someone to return your call. We maintain crews specifically for emergency response because we know how quickly water damage spreads in these coastal conditions.
Most residential roof replacements in Wheatley Heights take 2-4 days depending on size, weather, and complexity. Single-story ranch homes often finish in 2 days, while two-story colonials typically need 3-4 days.
Weather delays are common on Long Island, especially during spring and fall storm seasons. We monitor forecasts carefully and won’t start tear-off if rain is expected within 24 hours. It’s better to wait than risk water damage to your home’s interior.
Complex roofs with multiple dormers, chimneys, or skylights need extra time for proper flashing installation. These details determine whether your roof lasts 20 years or starts leaking in 5, so we don’t rush them.
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for 110+ mph winds perform best in Wheatley Heights coastal conditions. Look for shingles with algae resistance since humidity causes black streaking on standard materials.
Metal roofing is gaining popularity here because it handles wind and salt air better than any other material. Standing seam metal roofs can last 50+ years in coastal environments, though the upfront cost is higher than asphalt.
Avoid basic 3-tab shingles entirely. They’re not rated for Long Island wind conditions and insurance companies often won’t cover storm damage on roofs with inadequate materials. The small upfront savings isn’t worth the risk.
Check your attic after every major storm. Water stains on rafters, wet insulation, or musty odors indicate leaks that aren’t visible from inside your home yet. Many Wheatley Heights homeowners discover damage weeks after storms pass.
Look for loose or missing granules in your gutters. Hail damage often shows up as granule loss before you see actual holes in shingles. Wind damage typically appears as lifted or creased shingles that may not be obvious from ground level.
Don’t assume your roof is fine just because you don’t see leaks. Long Island’s older homes often have multiple layers of roofing that hide damage until it becomes severe. Professional inspections after major storms can catch problems while they’re still manageable.
Document everything before calling your insurance company. Take photos of damage, note the storm date, and get a professional assessment of repair costs. Insurance adjusters need specific evidence to approve claims.
Most Long Island homeowners’ policies cover sudden storm damage but exclude gradual deterioration. The key is proving damage occurred during a specific weather event rather than normal aging. Keep records of recent storms and when you first noticed problems.
Be prepared for the claims process to take 30-90 days. Insurance companies often delay payments hoping you’ll accept less money or abandon the claim. Having a contractor who works with insurance regularly can help navigate their requirements and ensure fair settlements.
Roof repair makes sense when damage affects less than 30% of your roof and the existing materials are less than 15 years old. Typical repairs include replacing damaged shingles, fixing flashing leaks, or addressing small sections of storm damage.
Roof replacement becomes necessary when damage is widespread, your roof is over 20 years old, or you’re dealing with multiple leak points. Trying to patch an aging roof often costs more long-term than replacing it completely.
In Wheatley Heights’ harsh coastal environment, roofs typically need replacement every 18-25 years depending on materials and installation quality. If you’re facing major repairs on a roof over 15 years old, replacement usually provides better value and peace of mind.
We maintain 24/7/365 emergency response capability for Wheatley Heights and all of Long Island. When storms damage your roof, every hour water enters your home causes more damage to ceilings, walls, and belongings.
Emergency services include temporary tarping, leak stopping, and securing damaged areas until permanent repairs can be completed. We stock emergency materials and maintain crews specifically for storm response because we know how quickly situations deteriorate.
Call immediately if you discover active leaks, missing shingles, or structural damage. Don’t wait until morning or after the weekend. Water damage spreads rapidly in Long Island’s humid climate, and delays often turn manageable problems into major restoration projects.
