When your roof works right, everything else falls into place. No more buckets catching drips during storms. No more wondering if that small leak will turn into a major headache. No more worrying about whether your contractor actually understands what coastal weather does to roofing materials.
You get a roof that stands up to whatever Long Island throws at it. Salt air, nor’easters, summer heat, winter ice—your roof handles it all while you focus on what matters most.
The difference is in the details. We don’t just patch problems. We identify what’s really going wrong and fix it properly the first time, so you’re not dealing with the same issues next year.
We’ve been protecting Dering Harbor homes for over two decades because we understand something other contractors miss: island living demands different solutions. The salt air that makes your mornings beautiful also accelerates roof deterioration. The storms that clear the air can tear shingles right off your roof.
We know the ferry schedules. We understand the architectural review process. We’ve worked through the logistics that make other contractors throw up their hands and walk away.
Most importantly, we know that when you need roofing work on the island, you need it done right the first time. There’s no running back to fix something tomorrow—we plan every job like we won’t be able to return for months.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just from the ground—we get up there and inspect every detail. We’re looking for the real problems, not just the obvious ones. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your home.
Next, we provide a detailed estimate that breaks down exactly what needs to be done and why. No vague line items or surprise costs later. If your roof needs replacement, we’ll explain the best materials for coastal conditions. If it’s repairable, we’ll tell you that too.
When we start work, we treat your property like our own. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and work efficiently to minimize disruption. Most jobs are completed faster than you’d expect, but we never rush the details that matter for long-term performance.
Ready to get started?
Your roofing project includes everything needed for lasting protection. We strip down to the deck and replace any damaged wood before installing our seven-part weather system: roof deck protection, leak barriers, starter strips, premium shingles, proper ventilation, ridge caps, and vented soffits.
For Dering Harbor homes, we specifically recommend materials that resist salt air corrosion. Metal roofing with specialized coatings, algae-resistant asphalt shingles, or composite materials that won’t deteriorate in coastal conditions. Each option comes with manufacturer warranties and our labor guarantee.
We handle all the details you might not think about: coordinating with the architectural review board, timing work around weather windows, managing material deliveries via ferry, and ensuring compliance with local building codes. You get a roof that not only protects your investment but maintains your home’s character and value.
Most residential roof replacements in Dering Harbor take 2-4 days, depending on size and complexity. However, island logistics add planning time we factor into every project.
We coordinate material deliveries around ferry schedules and weather windows. Once we start, we work efficiently to minimize disruption, but we never rush the details that ensure long-term performance. Weather delays are always possible, especially during storm season, so we build flexibility into our timeline and keep you informed throughout the process.
Salt air accelerates normal wear, so material choice matters more here than inland. We typically recommend three options based on your home’s style and budget.
Metal roofing with corrosion-resistant coatings offers the longest lifespan and best storm protection. Asphalt shingles with algae-resistant properties provide good value and traditional appearance. Composite materials give you the look of slate or wood without the maintenance issues. Each has specific advantages for coastal conditions, and we’ll explain which makes the most sense for your situation and architectural requirements.
Yes, we’re familiar with Dering Harbor’s architectural review process and handle the coordination for you. The village has specific requirements for materials, colors, and design elements that must be approved before work begins.
We prepare all necessary documentation, attend meetings if required, and ensure your project meets both building codes and village standards. This typically adds 2-3 weeks to project timeline, but it prevents delays and ensures your new roof enhances rather than detracts from your property value. We’ve successfully navigated this process for dozens of island homes.
When storms hit the island, you can’t wait for normal business hours. We provide 24/7 emergency response because we understand that roof damage doesn’t follow a schedule, and island access makes timing critical.
Our emergency team carries equipment and materials to handle immediate repairs—stopping leaks, securing loose materials, and protecting your home from further damage. We can often provide temporary solutions within hours, then return with a full crew for permanent repairs once conditions allow. This two-stage approach minimizes water damage and gives you peace of mind during stressful situations.
Island projects require different planning than mainland work, and we’ve refined our approach over 20+ years of serving Dering Harbor. We coordinate all material deliveries around ferry schedules and weather forecasts to avoid delays.
Our crews bring backup equipment and extra materials because running back to the mainland for forgotten items isn’t practical. We also maintain relationships with local suppliers when possible and plan for weather delays that might extend project timelines. This extra planning ensures your project stays on track despite the unique challenges of island access.
We provide comprehensive warranty coverage that protects your investment long-term. Our labor warranty covers workmanship against defects, leaks, and material failures for the full warranty period, not just the first year.
Manufacturer warranties on materials vary by product—typically 20-50 years depending on what you choose. We handle all warranty claims and coordinate with manufacturers when needed. Most importantly, we stand behind our work. If something isn’t right, we make it right, because our reputation in this small community depends on every job being done properly the first time.
