You shouldn’t have to stress about whether your roof will hold up during the next storm. When we’re done, you’ll have a roof that actually protects your home and your peace of mind.
No more checking the ceiling every time it rains hard. No more wondering if that small leak is turning into something bigger while you’re not looking. You get a roof system that handles whatever University Gardens weather throws at it.
Your neighbors will notice the difference too. A properly installed roof doesn’t just protect—it enhances your home’s value and curb appeal in ways that matter when it’s time to sell.
Twenty-two years of fixing roofs in Nassau and Suffolk Counties has taught us a few things. Like how University Gardens homes handle wind differently than houses closer to the water. Or which materials actually last here versus what looks good in a catalog.
We’re the family-owned roofing company that’s been here through multiple hurricane seasons, nor’easters, and everything in between. When your neighbors needed emergency repairs after that last big storm, chances are good we were the ones up there fixing things.
Being local means we understand what University Gardens homeowners actually need—not what some out-of-town contractor thinks they need based on a quick estimate.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a quick glance from the ground—a real inspection that tells you what’s wrong, what’s still good, and what needs attention soon.
Then we explain everything in plain English. You’ll know exactly what work needs to happen, why it needs to happen, and what it’s going to cost. No surprises halfway through the job.
When we start work, we protect your property and get the job done efficiently. We’ve been doing this long enough that we know how to handle the unexpected issues that come up—because they always do. You’ll know what’s happening every step of the way, and when we’re finished, your roof works the way it’s supposed to.

We handle everything your roof needs. Asphalt shingle repairs and replacements, metal roofing installations, flat roof work, and emergency leak repairs. Plus chimney services, gutter work, and skylight installations.
University Gardens homes face specific challenges. The mature trees in the neighborhood mean more debris in gutters and potential storm damage. The mix of architectural styles means we work with everything from traditional colonials to modern designs, each with their own roofing requirements.
You don’t need three different contractors for your roof, chimney, and gutters. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured for all of it. One call handles your entire exterior protection system, which means better coordination and no finger-pointing if something goes wrong.
Most residential roof replacements in University Gardens take 2-4 days, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. We start by removing the old roofing materials and inspecting the underlying structure for any damage that needs repair.
The actual installation follows a specific sequence: underlayment, starter strips, shingles, ridge caps, and flashing. We work efficiently but never rush the details that matter for long-term performance.
Weather can extend the timeline—we won’t install roofing materials in rain or high winds because it compromises the installation quality. You’d rather have it done right than done fast.
Asphalt shingles rated for high winds perform well here, especially architectural shingles with good impact resistance. Metal roofing is excellent for longevity and storm resistance, though it requires proper installation to handle thermal expansion.
For University Gardens specifically, we recommend materials that resist algae growth due to the tree cover and humidity. Impact-resistant shingles make sense if you’re in an area that sees hail, which happens more than people think on Long Island.
The key isn’t just the material—it’s the installation. Even the best shingles fail if the flashing isn’t done right or if corners are cut on ventilation. We focus on the complete system, not just what’s visible from the street.
Storm damage, including wind damage and hail damage, is typically covered by homeowner’s insurance. The key is documenting the damage properly and understanding what your policy actually covers.
We work with insurance companies regularly and can help you navigate the claims process. This includes providing detailed damage assessments and working directly with adjusters when needed.
Keep in mind that general wear and tear isn’t covered—only damage from specific weather events. But storm damage often reveals underlying issues that do need attention, and we’ll help you understand the difference so you can make informed decisions about repairs.
Roof repair addresses specific problems—a few damaged shingles, flashing issues, or localized leaks. It’s cost-effective when the overall roof structure is sound and the majority of materials are in good condition.
Roof replacement makes sense when repairs would be extensive, when the roof is near the end of its expected lifespan, or when you’re dealing with multiple ongoing issues. Sometimes what looks like a simple repair reveals bigger problems once we get into it.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. Sometimes spending money on repairs for an old roof is throwing good money after bad—other times a targeted repair buys you several more years of reliable service.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency roofing services for University Gardens residents. Storm damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we when your home’s protection is compromised.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping immediate damage—tarping, temporary patches, and securing loose materials. This prevents water damage to your home’s interior while we arrange for permanent repairs.
We keep emergency supplies ready and maintain relationships with local suppliers to get materials quickly when needed. During major storm events, we prioritize the most urgent situations first, but we respond to all emergency calls as quickly as possible.
Roof replacement costs in University Gardens typically range from $15,000 to $35,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials chosen, and complexity of the roof design. Factors that affect pricing include the number of stories, roof pitch, and existing condition.
Higher-end materials like architectural shingles or metal roofing cost more upfront but often provide better long-term value through durability and energy efficiency. We always provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs.
The lowest bid isn’t always the best value. Quality installation, proper materials, and comprehensive warranties matter more than saving a few thousand dollars on a roof that should last 20-30 years. We focus on delivering the best value for your investment, not the cheapest price.
