We’ve been solving flat roofing problems across Long Island for over 20 years. We’re not the newest company on the block, and we’re not trying to be the cheapest either.
What we are is the contractor that island homeowners call when they need flat roofing done right. We understand what salt air does to roofing materials. We know how coastal wind patterns affect water drainage. We’ve seen what happens when flat roofs aren’t installed properly for marine conditions.
Our team is fully licensed, bonded, and insured to work in Nassau and Suffolk County. We honor every manufacturer warranty and stand behind our work with guarantees that mean something. When you’re dealing with the unique challenges of waterfront property, experience matters.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current roof structure and identify any issues that need addressing before installation begins. This includes checking for proper drainage, structural integrity, and any damage from salt exposure or age.
Next comes the installation using materials specifically chosen for coastal conditions. Whether you need TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen, we use only high-quality, American-made products that can handle your environment. Our installation techniques account for wind uplift, thermal movement, and the unique challenges of flat roofs in marine settings.
We finish with a complete walkthrough and provide you with all warranty information and maintenance recommendations. You’ll know exactly what to expect from your new roof and how to keep it performing at its best for decades.

Your flat roofing service includes complete membrane installation, proper insulation, drainage system optimization, and all necessary flashing work. We handle both residential and commercial properties with the same attention to detail and quality materials.
For Shelter Island Heights properties, this means using corrosion-resistant fasteners, salt-resistant membranes, and installation techniques that account for coastal wind patterns. We also address the unique drainage challenges that come with flat roofs in areas that experience both heavy rains and salt spray.
Every installation comes with manufacturer warranties on materials and our workmanship guarantee on labor. You also get access to our 24/7 emergency service, because we know that roof problems don’t wait for business hours. We’re here when you need us, whether it’s a planned installation or an urgent repair.
TPO and EPDM membranes are excellent choices for coastal properties because they resist salt air corrosion and UV damage. TPO offers superior energy efficiency with its reflective surface, while EPDM provides exceptional durability and flexibility in temperature changes.
Modified bitumen is another strong option, especially for commercial applications. It creates multiple layers of protection and can be installed without open flames, which is important in coastal areas. The key is using materials specifically rated for marine environments and ensuring proper installation techniques that account for wind uplift and thermal movement.
We only use American-made materials from trusted manufacturers, and every installation includes appropriate fasteners and sealants designed to resist salt air corrosion. The right material depends on your specific building, usage, and budget, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
A properly installed flat roof should last 15-25 years in coastal conditions, depending on the material and maintenance. TPO systems typically provide 20-25 years of service life, while EPDM can last 25-30 years with proper care.
The key factors affecting lifespan are installation quality, material choice, and regular maintenance. Coastal properties face additional challenges from salt air, which can accelerate wear on inferior materials or poorly sealed systems. That’s why we use only marine-grade materials and installation techniques proven to handle these conditions.
Regular inspections and prompt attention to minor issues can extend your roof’s life significantly. We recommend annual inspections and immediate attention to any ponding water, membrane damage, or flashing issues. Preventive maintenance is always less expensive than emergency repairs.
Most flat roof leaks occur at seams, penetrations, or areas where water can pond due to inadequate drainage. In coastal areas, salt air can also cause premature deterioration of sealants and fasteners if the wrong materials are used.
We prevent leaks through proper slope design (even “flat” roofs need some slope for drainage), high-quality membrane installation with fully welded or adhered seams, and careful attention to all roof penetrations. Every vent, drain, and equipment mounting gets properly flashed and sealed using materials designed for marine environments.
The installation process is crucial. We ensure complete adhesion of the membrane, proper overlap at seams, and adequate fastening that won’t fail in high winds. We also install quality drainage systems and make sure there are no low spots where water can collect and eventually find its way through the membrane.
Yes, we handle flat roofing for both residential and commercial properties throughout Shelter Island Heights. Each type of project has different requirements, and we have the experience and equipment to handle both effectively.
Residential flat roofs are often found on porches, additions, or modern home designs. These typically require careful integration with existing roofing systems and attention to aesthetic concerns. Commercial flat roofs usually cover larger areas and may need to support equipment or foot traffic, requiring different membrane types and installation approaches.
Regardless of the project size, we use the same high-quality materials and installation standards. Commercial projects often require additional considerations like fire ratings, energy efficiency requirements, and coordination with other trades. We’re fully equipped to handle the complexity and scheduling demands of both residential and commercial work.
Every flat roofing installation includes both manufacturer warranties on materials and our workmanship warranty on labor and installation. Material warranties typically range from 15-30 years depending on the membrane type, while our workmanship warranty covers installation-related issues.
We honor all manufacturer warranties and handle any warranty claims directly, so you don’t have to deal with paperwork or delays. If there’s ever a problem covered under warranty, we take care of it promptly at no cost to you.
Our warranties are backed by our business reputation and our commitment to standing behind our work. We’ve been serving Long Island for over 20 years because we do the job right the first time and take care of our customers when they need us. You’ll have written documentation of all warranty coverage before we begin work.
We provide 24/7 emergency flat roofing service throughout Shelter Island Heights and surrounding areas. When you have a leak or storm damage, we understand that waiting until Monday morning isn’t an option.
Our emergency response includes temporary repairs to stop immediate water intrusion, assessment of the damage, and a plan for permanent repairs. We carry emergency materials and equipment to handle urgent situations, and our experienced technicians can quickly identify the source of leaks and implement effective temporary solutions.
For non-emergency situations, we typically schedule consultations within 1-2 business days and can often begin work within a week, depending on weather and material availability. We maintain strong relationships with suppliers to ensure we have access to quality materials when you need them.
