Right now, your windows are costing you money every single month. Heated air in winter, cooled air in summer—it’s all leaking out through gaps, worn seals, and single-pane glass that belongs in the 1980s.
Quality window installation fixes this immediately. You’ll feel the difference the first day: no more drafts, no more rooms that won’t stay comfortable, no more HVAC system running constantly to fight inefficient windows. Most Shinnecock Hills homeowners save $200-500 annually on energy costs alone.
But the real value goes deeper than monthly savings. Energy-efficient windows protect your investment in one of Long Island’s most desirable communities. When buyers tour homes here, they notice details like quality windows—and they’re willing to pay for homes that don’t need immediate upgrades.
We at Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc have been serving Shinnecock Hills and Suffolk County for years. We’ve seen what salt air and coastal storms do to windows—and more importantly, we know how to install windows that handle these conditions.
Every project teaches us something new about Long Island’s unique challenges. Homes built in the 1980s with original windows. Seasonal properties that sit empty for months. Multi-million dollar estates where every detail matters. We’ve worked on them all.
The difference between contractors shows up years later, when your windows are still operating smoothly while your neighbor’s are already showing problems. We use techniques and materials specifically chosen for coastal conditions because we live here too.
We start by understanding what you need. Energy savings? Noise reduction? Storm protection? Different goals require different solutions, so we listen first and recommend second. Precise measurements and honest assessments—no pressure, no inflated estimates.
Installation means protecting your home first. Floors get covered, furniture gets moved, work areas get organized. Old windows come out carefully to preserve trim and siding. New windows go in with proper flashing, insulation, and weatherproofing that most contractors skip.
Cleanup and testing finish every job. We check operation on every window, seal any remaining gaps, and make sure you understand maintenance requirements. You get warranty documentation and our direct contact information for any future questions.

Our window services cover everything from consultation to cleanup. Vinyl window installation, energy-efficient upgrades, new construction fitting—we handle residential projects of any size with the same attention to detail.
Shinnecock Hills presents unique opportunities and challenges. Many homes here were built in the 1980s with windows that are ready for replacement. Ocean exposure accelerates seal failure and frame deterioration, making upgrades especially valuable. We work with manufacturers who understand coastal conditions and warranty their products accordingly.
Your project includes detailed site assessment, custom measurements, coordinated delivery scheduling, professional installation by certified technicians, and complete cleanup. Most residential installations complete in one to two days, depending on scope. We work efficiently while maintaining the quality standards that protect your investment.
Most Shinnecock Hills homeowners see annual energy savings of $200-500 after installing quality energy-efficient windows. Homes with single-pane windows or damaged seals often save significantly more—some report 30-40% reductions in heating and cooling costs.
The Department of Energy confirms that windows account for 25-30% of residential energy use. In coastal climates like ours, where you’re running HVAC systems year-round, inefficient windows cost you money every month. Double or triple-pane windows with Low-E coatings and argon fills can cut this energy loss dramatically.
Your specific savings depend on your current windows, home size, and energy usage patterns. We can provide realistic estimates based on your situation during our consultation, not generic numbers that don’t apply to your home.
Vinyl windows with double or triple-pane insulated glass perform exceptionally well in our coastal environment. Vinyl resists salt air corrosion, moisture damage, and UV exposure that can degrade other materials over time.
For maximum energy efficiency, look for windows with Low-E coatings, argon gas fills, and quality weatherstripping systems. These features maintain consistent indoor temperatures despite coastal winds and temperature swings. ENERGY STAR certified windows are specifically rated for our climate zone and local conditions.
Frame material choice matters more here than inland. Wood windows require extensive maintenance in humid, salt-air environments. Vinyl and fiberglass frames offer durability with minimal upkeep—practical choices for properties that need to perform reliably year after year.
Most residential window projects in Shinnecock Hills complete in one to two days. A typical home with 10-15 windows usually finishes in one full day with our experienced crew working efficiently.
Timeline factors include window quantity, any structural repairs needed around openings, custom window lead times, and weather conditions. We schedule installations during favorable weather when possible and keep you informed of any changes to the original timeline.
Our team works systematically while maintaining quality standards. We protect your home during installation and clean up completely each day. Multi-day projects get secured properly each evening to maintain security and weather protection until completion.
Most window replacements don’t require permits when replacing existing windows with similar sizes and configurations. However, local requirements can vary, so we verify permit needs for every project and handle necessary paperwork when required.
New construction installations or projects involving structural modifications typically need permits and inspections. We’re familiar with Suffolk County building requirements and work directly with local officials to ensure full compliance when permits are necessary.
Regardless of permit requirements, we install all windows to manufacturer specifications and local building codes. This protects your warranty coverage and ensures optimal performance. You receive complete documentation for warranty and insurance purposes.
Window warranties include manufacturer coverage on the product plus our workmanship warranty on installation. Manufacturer warranties typically cover 10-20 years on insulated glass units and 5-10 years on mechanical components, varying by brand and model.
Our installation warranty covers any issues related to our work—air leaks, water infiltration, operational problems caused by improper installation. This warranty is separate from and additional to manufacturer coverage, giving you complete protection.
Professional installation is essential for warranty protection. DIY installations or work by uncertified contractors often void manufacturer warranties. We provide all documentation required for warranty claims and handle warranty service coordination when issues arise.
Yes, we work with manufacturers offering extensive customization options including frame colors, grid patterns, hardware finishes, and specialized glass options. Most architectural styles can be matched perfectly or enhanced appropriately with proper window selection.
Shinnecock Hills has established neighborhoods where aesthetic consistency matters. We bring samples and catalogs to help you visualize options and ensure new windows complement rather than clash with your home’s character and surrounding properties.
Custom windows may require longer lead times but allow perfect integration with your home’s design. We discuss all available options during consultation and help you balance aesthetic preferences with performance requirements and budget considerations for optimal results.
