Your roof leak stops here. When you call Expressway Roofing, you’re not just getting a patch job that’ll fail next season. You’re getting contractors who’ve spent over 22 years learning exactly how Long Island’s harsh weather destroys roofs and what it takes to build them back stronger.
We don’t just fix the symptom. We find the real problem, whether it’s failed flashing around your chimney, ice dam damage from last winter, or shingles that couldn’t handle another nor’easter. Once we’re done, your roof works the way it should have from day one.
You get back to living in your home instead of worrying about the next rainstorm. No more buckets in the attic. No more water stains spreading across your ceiling. Just a roof that does its job, season after season.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been protecting homes in Squassux Landing and across Suffolk County for over 22 years. We’re not some fly-by-night operation that shows up after storms then disappears. We’re the family-owned company your neighbors call when their roofs need real work.
We know this area. We know how the salt air from the marina eats away at flashing. We know how those sudden summer storms can rip shingles right off your roof. We know because we’ve been fixing these problems since before some of our competitors even existed.
When you hire us, you’re hiring contractors who understand that your roof isn’t just another job. It’s protecting your family and everything you’ve worked for. That’s why we’re licensed, bonded, and insured, and why we guarantee our work.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just the obvious damage you can see from the ground, but everything. We check your flashing, inspect for wind damage, look for signs of moisture problems, and examine the areas where most leaks actually start.
Then we give you the straight truth about what needs to be fixed and what doesn’t. No upselling, no scare tactics. If your roof needs a simple repair, we’ll tell you. If it needs replacement, we’ll explain why and show you exactly what we found.
Once you approve the work, we handle everything. We pull permits if needed, order materials, and schedule the job around your life, not ours. Our crews show up when we say they will, finish the work properly, and clean up completely when we’re done. You get a roof that’s built to handle whatever Long Island weather throws at it.

We handle every type of roofing work your home might need. Asphalt shingle repairs and replacements, metal roofing installation, flat roof repairs, and complete roof replacements. We also take care of chimney work, since that’s where a lot of roof problems actually start.
Living near the water in Squassux Landing means your roof faces challenges that homes further inland don’t deal with. The salt air accelerates corrosion on metal components. The humidity can cause moisture problems in your attic. The storms that roll off the water can be more intense than what hits areas even a few miles away.
That’s why we use materials specifically chosen for coastal conditions. Algae-resistant shingles that won’t turn black from moisture. Corrosion-resistant flashing that won’t fail after a few seasons. Proper ventilation systems that prevent the moisture buildup that destroys roofs from the inside out. When we finish your roof, it’s ready for everything this area throws at it.
Most roof repairs take between half a day and two full days, depending on what we’re fixing. Simple shingle repairs or flashing work usually get done in a few hours. More complex repairs, like fixing storm damage or replacing sections of decking, might take a day or two.
The timeline also depends on the weather and the size of your roof. We won’t start work if conditions aren’t safe, and we won’t leave your roof exposed overnight if there’s rain in the forecast. We’d rather take an extra day to do it right than rush and create bigger problems.
Emergency repairs are different. If you’ve got water coming into your house, we can usually get out the same day to stop the immediate problem, then schedule the permanent fix for when conditions are better.
For homes in Squassux Landing, we typically recommend asphalt shingles with algae-resistant granules or architectural shingles that can handle the humidity and salt exposure. Metal roofing with proper coatings also works well, especially if you want something that’ll last 30-40 years instead of 20-25.
The key is using materials that resist the moisture and salt air you get living near the water. Regular asphalt shingles will develop those black streaks from algae growth within a few years. Cheap metal roofing will start showing rust spots faster than it should.
We also pay extra attention to the flashing and underlayment on waterfront homes. The standard materials that work fine a few miles inland aren’t always enough when you’re dealing with the higher humidity and more severe weather that comes off the water.
Roof replacement costs typically run between $8,000 and $15,000 for most homes in this area, but the actual price depends on several factors. The size of your roof, the materials you choose, and how much of the underlying structure needs work all affect the final cost.
Homes near the marina sometimes need additional work because the salt air and moisture can cause problems with decking or structural components that you don’t see until the old roof comes off. We always give you a detailed estimate upfront, but we also explain what might come up during the work so you’re not surprised.
We guarantee our pricing in writing and we’ll beat any legitimate written quote from another licensed contractor. The goal isn’t to be the cheapest option in town. It’s to give you the best value for a roof that’ll protect your home for decades.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency roofing services throughout Suffolk County, including Squassux Landing. When storms hit Long Island, we know roofs get damaged and water starts coming into homes. We prioritize emergency calls and usually respond within 12-24 hours, often faster.
Emergency work focuses on stopping immediate water intrusion and preventing further damage to your home. We’ll tarp damaged areas, seal obvious leaks, and make temporary repairs to get you through until we can do permanent work safely.
Once the weather clears, we come back to assess all the damage and give you a complete estimate for permanent repairs. Many times, storm damage is covered by insurance, and we can work directly with your insurance company to handle the paperwork and make the process easier for you.
Our roof inspections cover everything that could affect your roof’s performance. We check all the shingles for damage, wear, or missing pieces. We inspect the flashing around chimneys, vents, and anywhere the roof meets walls or other structures. We look at gutters, downspouts, and how well water drains off your roof.
We also check your attic for signs of leaks, proper ventilation, and insulation issues that could cause ice dams or moisture problems. For homes in Squassux Landing, we pay special attention to areas where salt air and humidity typically cause the most problems.
After the inspection, you get a detailed report explaining what we found, what needs immediate attention, and what you should keep an eye on for the future. If repairs are needed, we provide written estimates for the work. If your roof is in good shape, we’ll tell you that too and suggest when you should have it inspected again.
The decision usually comes down to the age of your roof, how much damage we find, and whether repairs will actually solve your problems long-term. If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is limited to specific areas, repairs usually make sense.
But if your roof is over 20 years old and we’re finding multiple problems, replacement often costs less in the long run than trying to patch everything. Missing shingles, widespread granule loss, multiple leak points, or structural issues typically mean it’s time for a new roof.
We’ll always give you honest advice about what makes the most financial sense. Sometimes a few hundred dollars in repairs will buy you several more years. Other times, spending money on repairs is just delaying the inevitable replacement while risking more damage to your home’s interior.
