No more emergency buckets when it rains. No more wondering if this winter will be the one that finally causes major damage. No more watching your energy bills climb because your roof can’t do its job.
When we install your flat roof, you get decades of protection that actually works. Your building stays dry, your energy costs drop, and you sleep better knowing your roof was built right the first time.
That’s what happens when you work with contractors who understand flat roofing systems inside and out, not just general roofers who treat every job the same way.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been solving flat roofing problems for Huntington property owners who need it done right the first time. We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re not trying to be.
We’re the contractors you call when you’re tired of temporary fixes and want a roof that actually lasts. Our crews are factory-trained on TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems because flat roofing isn’t something you learn on the job.
Huntington’s coastal climate demands roofing systems that can handle everything from nor’easters to summer heat waves. We know exactly what works here and what doesn’t.
First, we inspect your existing roof structure and determine the best approach. If it’s a replacement, we remove the old membrane and insulation down to the deck. We check for any structural issues that need addressing before we start.
Next, we install proper insulation using polyisocyanurate boards that regulate temperature and reduce energy costs. This step is crucial for Long Island’s climate – skip it, and you’ll pay for it in energy bills.
Then we install your new membrane system. For TPO, we heat-weld the seams to create a completely waterproof barrier. For EPDM, we use proven adhesive methods that create lasting bonds. Every penetration gets properly flashed and sealed.
Finally, we test the entire system and clean up completely. You get a roof that’s ready to protect your property for the next 20-30 years.

We install three main flat roofing systems, each chosen based on your building’s specific needs. TPO roofing offers excellent energy efficiency with its white, reflective surface that keeps cooling costs down during Huntington’s hot summers. It’s puncture-resistant and the heat-welded seams create a completely seamless barrier.
EPDM rubber roofing is our most durable option, lasting 20-50 years when properly maintained. It handles temperature extremes well – important for Long Island’s four-season climate. The black surface actually helps with heating costs in winter, though white EPDM is available if you prefer reflectivity.
Modified bitumen combines the best of both worlds with multiple layers that create redundant protection. It’s ideal for buildings with heavy foot traffic or equipment loads.
All systems include proper insulation, flashing, and drainage solutions designed specifically for Huntington’s weather patterns. You get manufacturer warranties plus our workmanship guarantee.
A properly installed flat roof in Huntington typically lasts 20-30 years, with some EPDM systems reaching 40-50 years. The key is choosing the right system for your building and having it installed correctly.
Huntington’s coastal location means your roof faces salt air, nor’easters, summer heat, and freeze-thaw cycles. TPO and EPDM handle these conditions well when installed with proper insulation and drainage. Modified bitumen is also excellent for buildings that need extra durability.
The lifespan depends heavily on installation quality and maintenance. A roof installed by experienced flat roofing contractors with proper materials will significantly outlast cheaper installations that cut corners on insulation or flashing details.
TPO is a white, reflective membrane that helps reduce cooling costs by reflecting heat away from your building. It’s heat-welded at the seams, creating a completely seamless surface that prevents water infiltration. TPO is newer technology and offers excellent puncture resistance.
EPDM is a black rubber membrane that’s been proven over decades of use. It absorbs heat, which can actually help with heating costs in winter. EPDM is installed using adhesive methods and is extremely durable against weather extremes.
Both systems work well in Huntington, but TPO is better if energy efficiency is your priority, while EPDM is the choice for maximum longevity and proven performance. The decision often comes down to your building’s specific needs and energy goals.
Flat roof replacement in Huntington typically ranges from $15-20 per square foot, depending on the system you choose and your building’s specific requirements. TPO systems run $15-17 per square foot, while EPDM and modified bitumen can be slightly higher.
The total cost depends on factors like roof size, insulation needs, number of penetrations, and accessibility. A 1,000 square foot roof might cost $15,000-20,000 for a complete replacement with quality materials and proper installation.
Remember that the cheapest bid often becomes the most expensive roof when you factor in repairs, energy costs, and early replacement. Investing in proper installation and quality materials saves money long-term and gives you decades of reliable protection.
Many flat roof problems can be repaired if caught early and the overall system is still sound. Small leaks, damaged flashing, or isolated membrane issues are often repairable without full replacement.
We evaluate factors like the roof’s age, overall condition, and extent of damage. If your roof is under 15 years old and the problems are localized, repair is usually the smart choice. For roofs over 20 years old with multiple issues, replacement often makes more financial sense.
Sometimes roof coatings can extend the life of an aging system by 10-20 years at a fraction of replacement cost. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on what makes the most sense for your situation, not what generates the biggest sale.
Most residential flat roofs can be completed in 1-2 days, depending on size and complexity. Commercial projects typically take 3-5 days, though larger buildings may require more time.
Weather is the biggest factor affecting timeline. We don’t install roofing in rain or high winds, so timing depends on Long Island’s weather patterns. We’ll give you realistic expectations and keep you updated if conditions affect the schedule.
The key is proper preparation. We handle all material ordering, permits, and scheduling in advance so once we start, the work proceeds efficiently. You won’t have an open roof any longer than absolutely necessary.
Yes, we provide emergency flat roof repair services for Huntington property owners dealing with active leaks or storm damage. We understand that roof leaks don’t wait for convenient timing.
Our emergency service focuses on stopping the immediate problem and protecting your property from further damage. We’ll identify the source of the leak, make temporary repairs to stop water infiltration, and then provide options for permanent solutions.
For true emergencies, we can often respond within 24 hours. We carry materials and equipment to handle most common flat roof emergencies, from membrane punctures to flashing failures. The goal is getting your building watertight quickly, then planning the right long-term solution.
