Hear from Our Customers
You know that feeling when you spot water stains on your ceiling after a storm. Or when you’re lying awake during a nor’easter, wondering if your roof can handle another season. Hampton Bays homeowners deal with challenges most roofers don’t understand—salt air that corrodes flashing, temperature swings from 24°F to 80°F that crack shingles, and coastal winds that test every nail.
When your roof is properly installed and maintained, you sleep soundly during storms. You don’t worry about emergency repairs or surprise leaks. Your energy bills stay reasonable because your roof actually insulates your home instead of letting air escape through gaps and damaged materials.
The difference between a roof that protects and one that fails often comes down to understanding coastal conditions. We’ve spent over two decades learning exactly what works in Hampton Bays—and what doesn’t.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been serving Hampton Bays and surrounding Long Island communities since we started our business. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or a company that shows up after storms to take advantage of homeowners.
We understand what Hampton Bays weather does to roofs. The salt air from the Peconic and Shinnecock Bays doesn’t just affect your car—it accelerates corrosion on roofing materials. The temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that can loosen fasteners and crack shingles. January winds averaging nearly 15 mph put constant stress on your roof system.
As a family-owned, licensed and insured business, we’ve built our reputation on doing the work right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises, no excuses. When we finish a project, we clean up completely each day and stand behind our work with solid warranties.
We start with a thorough inspection and provide you with a detailed, written estimate—no obligation, no pressure. Our team examines not just the obvious damage, but the underlying deck condition, flashing, ventilation, and other components that affect your roof’s performance.
Once you decide to move forward, we handle all permits and scheduling. Our crews arrive on time, protect your landscaping and property, and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. We remove old materials properly, install new roofing using manufacturer-approved methods, and ensure every detail meets Long Island building codes.
Throughout the project, we maintain clear communication about progress and any unexpected issues we discover. At the end of each workday, we clean up completely—no nails left in your driveway, no debris scattered around your property. When the job is finished, we walk through everything with you and provide warranty information for your records.

We handle every aspect of roofing for Hampton Bays homes—from simple repairs to complete replacements. Our services include asphalt shingle installation, metal roofing systems, flat roof repairs, emergency storm damage response, and comprehensive roof inspections. We also provide chimney repairs, gutter installation, skylight services, and siding work.
Hampton Bays homeowners face specific challenges that require local expertise. The coastal environment demands materials and installation techniques that can withstand salt air corrosion and high winds. We select products specifically rated for marine environments and use fastening patterns designed for Long Island’s wind loads.
Our team is experienced with both residential and commercial properties throughout Suffolk County. Whether you need a small repair on a beach cottage or a complete roof replacement on a larger home, we have the equipment, materials, and expertise to handle the project professionally. Every job includes proper permits, quality materials, and workmanship warranties that give you peace of mind for years to come.
Roof replacement costs in Hampton Bays typically range from $8,000 to $16,000 for asphalt shingles on an average-sized home, while metal roofing runs $10,000 to $54,500 depending on the material and complexity. The final price depends on several factors including your roof’s size, pitch, current condition, and the materials you choose.
Coastal homes often require additional considerations that can affect pricing. Salt air exposure may necessitate upgraded flashing materials and fasteners designed for marine environments. Homes near the water sometimes need enhanced wind resistance features that add to the overall investment but provide crucial protection during storms.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges, no hidden fees—just transparent pricing based on the specific requirements of your Hampton Bays home.
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular choice for Hampton Bays homes because they offer good performance at a reasonable cost when properly installed. We recommend architectural shingles over basic 3-tab varieties because they provide better wind resistance and typically last 25-30 years in Long Island conditions.
Metal roofing is becoming increasingly popular for coastal properties because it resists salt air corrosion and can withstand high winds better than most other materials. While the upfront cost is higher, metal roofs often last 40-50 years and require minimal maintenance. They’re also energy-efficient, which helps with cooling costs during humid Long Island summers.
The key isn’t just the material—it’s the installation details. We use corrosion-resistant fasteners, proper flashing techniques, and adequate ventilation systems. These details matter more in coastal environments where salt air accelerates deterioration of inferior materials and poor installation practices.
Most residential roof replacements in Hampton Bays take 2-5 days depending on the size and complexity of your home. Weather can extend this timeline, especially during storm season when we may need to pause work for safety reasons. We always prioritize protecting your home from the elements, even if it means adjusting the schedule.
Simple repairs often take just a few hours or a single day. More complex projects involving structural repairs, multiple roof levels, or extensive chimney work may require additional time. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if circumstances require adjustments.
We understand that having your roof torn off is disruptive, so we work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Our crews start early, work steadily throughout the day, and clean up completely before leaving each evening. If weather threatens, we take steps to protect your home with tarps or temporary covering until conditions improve.

Coastal storms can cause sudden damage that needs immediate attention to prevent water intrusion and further problems.
