Your flat roof faces unique challenges here in Hampton Bays. Salt air from Shinnecock Bay. Nor’easters rolling off the Atlantic. Summer heat that can push roof temperatures past 140 degrees.
Most roofing companies treat flat roofs like they’re anywhere else. We don’t. After 22 years in this coastal environment, we know exactly what your roof is up against.
When we install your TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen system, you’re getting materials and methods proven to handle everything from hurricane-force winds to the daily grind of salt air corrosion. No more emergency calls after every storm. No more wondering if your roof can handle another season.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been protecting Hampton Bays properties for over two decades. We’re not just another roofing company—we’re your neighbors who understand what coastal weather does to flat roofs.
We’ve seen what Hurricane Sandy did in 2012. We’ve repaired roofs after countless nor’easters. We know which materials hold up to salt air and which ones fail within a few years.
As a family-owned business, our reputation depends on every job we complete. That’s why we use only proven materials and installation methods that work in our specific climate conditions.
First, we inspect your existing roof structure and drainage system. Flat roofs in coastal areas need proper water management—we identify any issues before they become expensive problems.
Next, we help you choose the right membrane system. TPO for energy efficiency and reflective cooling. EPDM for maximum durability and weather resistance. Modified bitumen for multi-layer protection. Each has specific advantages depending on your building and budget.
During installation, we focus on the details that matter most in our climate. Proper flashing around penetrations. Secure attachment methods that handle high winds. Drainage solutions that prevent ponding water. Quality control at every step to ensure your roof performs for decades, not just years.

Our flat roofing services include everything you need for long-term protection. TPO installation for energy-efficient white membrane systems that reflect heat and reduce cooling costs during Hampton Bays’ humid summers.
EPDM rubber roofing provides exceptional durability against our coastal weather extremes. This synthetic rubber membrane flexes with temperature changes and resists UV damage, salt air corrosion, and storm impact.
We also specialize in modified bitumen systems, flat roof leak detection and repair, emergency storm damage response, and preventive maintenance programs. Whether you need a complete roof replacement or targeted repairs, we have the experience and materials to handle Hampton Bays’ unique roofing challenges.
For Hampton Bays’ coastal environment, both TPO and EPDM offer distinct advantages. TPO’s white reflective surface helps reduce cooling costs during our hot, humid summers while providing excellent resistance to salt air and UV exposure.
EPDM rubber roofing excels in extreme weather durability, with flexibility that handles temperature swings from winter storms to summer heat without cracking. Its proven track record in coastal applications makes it ideal for buildings that need maximum weather protection.
The choice depends on your specific priorities—energy efficiency favors TPO, while maximum durability in severe weather conditions favors EPDM. We evaluate your building’s exposure, usage, and budget to recommend the optimal solution.
In Hampton Bays’ challenging coastal climate, properly installed flat roofs typically last 15-30 years depending on the membrane system and maintenance. TPO systems generally provide 15-25 years of reliable performance with proper care.
EPDM rubber roofing often exceeds 25-30 years in coastal applications due to its superior weather resistance and flexibility. The key is professional installation with proper drainage and regular maintenance to address minor issues before they become major problems.
Our experience shows that roofs maintained with annual inspections and prompt repairs consistently outlast those that receive only emergency attention. The salt air and storm exposure here make preventive care essential for maximizing your roof’s lifespan.
Coastal flat roof leaks typically develop from several specific causes. Ponding water is the most common issue—Hampton Bays’ frequent storms can overwhelm drainage systems, leading to standing water that eventually finds weak points in the membrane.
Salt air accelerates deterioration of flashing and seam areas, particularly around roof penetrations like vents and equipment. Storm debris can puncture membranes, while high winds can lift edges or damage attachment points.
UV exposure combined with temperature cycling causes membrane shrinkage and cracking over time. That’s why we focus heavily on proper drainage design, high-quality flashing installation, and using materials specifically rated for coastal UV and salt air exposure.
Flat roof replacement costs in Hampton Bays typically range from $8-15 per square foot for residential applications, depending on the membrane system and complexity of the installation. Commercial projects may vary based on size and specific requirements.
TPO installations generally fall on the lower end of this range, while EPDM and modified bitumen systems cost slightly more due to material and installation complexity. However, the long-term value often justifies the investment through reduced maintenance and energy savings.
Coastal installations require additional considerations like enhanced drainage systems and storm-resistant attachment methods, which affect overall project costs. We provide detailed estimates that account for your specific building requirements and local weather challenges.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency flat roof repair services throughout Hampton Bays. Coastal storms can cause sudden damage that needs immediate attention to prevent water intrusion and interior damage.
Our emergency response includes temporary weatherproofing, leak detection, and permanent repairs using materials designed for our local climate conditions. We understand that storm damage doesn’t wait for business hours.
We maintain emergency repair materials and equipment specifically for flat roof systems common in Hampton Bays. Our goal is rapid response to minimize damage, followed by permanent repairs that restore your roof’s full weather protection capabilities.
Flat roofs in Hampton Bays require more frequent maintenance than inland locations due to salt air, storm exposure, and debris accumulation. We recommend bi-annual inspections—spring and fall—to address issues before severe weather seasons.
Key maintenance includes clearing drains and gutters of debris, inspecting and resealing flashing around penetrations, checking membrane condition for UV damage or salt air deterioration, and addressing any ponding water issues.
After major storms, prompt inspection helps identify damage before it leads to leaks. Regular maintenance typically costs a fraction of emergency repairs and significantly extends your roof’s lifespan in our challenging coastal environment.
