Your roof isn’t just protection—it’s peace of mind. When we finish your project, you get a roof that handles whatever Long Island weather throws at it. No more worrying about leaks during heavy rains or ice dams forming after winter storms.
You get materials specifically chosen for our coastal climate. Salt air won’t corrode your flashing prematurely. Summer heat won’t crack your shingles in year two. Your energy bills stay predictable because proper insulation and ventilation keep your home comfortable year-round.
Most importantly, you get time back. No more emergency calls to multiple contractors. No more wondering if that stain on your ceiling means trouble. Just a roof that works, backed by people who’ve been solving Westbury roofing problems for over two decades.
Twenty-two years of working on Long Island roofs teaches you things you can’t learn anywhere else. We understand how salt air affects metal components. We know which materials hold up against the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior installations.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been family-owned since day one. That means when you call, you’re talking to people who live here, work here, and have built our reputation one satisfied neighbor at a time. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because protecting your investment means everything to us.
Westbury homeowners choose us because we do what we say we’ll do. No surprises, no excuses, no cutting corners. Just honest work from people who understand that your roof is one of the most important investments you’ll ever make.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a quick glance from the driveway—a thorough inspection that identifies current problems and potential issues. We take photos, check flashing, examine gutters, and assess your attic ventilation. You get a detailed report explaining exactly what we found.
Next comes your estimate. We break down every material, every labor cost, every timeline consideration. No hidden fees, no surprise charges later. You know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
During installation, we protect your property like it’s our own. Tarps cover landscaping, magnetic rollers collect loose nails, and we clean up completely each day. Most residential projects finish within one to three days, depending on size and complexity. You’re never left with an exposed roof overnight unless absolutely unavoidable, and even then, everything gets properly covered and secured.

Every roofing project includes materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s coastal environment. We use asphalt shingles with algae-resistant properties and enhanced wind ratings. Metal components get corrosion-resistant coatings that handle salt air without premature failure.
Your installation includes proper underlayment, ice and water shield where required by code, and ventilation systems that prevent ice dams and moisture problems. We don’t cut corners on flashing—every roof penetration gets sealed correctly the first time.
Westbury’s location means dealing with nor’easters, summer thunderstorms, and everything in between. That’s why we include comprehensive cleanup and final inspection with every project. Your gutters get cleared, your property gets restored, and you get documentation for warranty purposes. We also provide maintenance recommendations specific to your roof type and local weather patterns, helping you protect your investment for decades to come.
Most residential roof replacements in Westbury take 1-3 days, depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, and weather conditions. A standard ranch or colonial typically finishes in one to two days. Larger homes with multiple levels, dormers, or complex rooflines may require three days.
Weather plays a big role in timing. We won’t start your project if rain or high winds are forecast, and we’ll never leave your roof exposed overnight unless it’s absolutely unavoidable. When that happens, everything gets properly tarped and secured. We’d rather take an extra day and do it right than rush and risk water damage to your home.
Long Island’s salt air and weather extremes require specific material choices. Asphalt shingles with algae-resistant granules perform well here, especially architectural grades with enhanced wind ratings. Metal roofing with proper coatings also excels in coastal environments, though it requires careful installation around chimneys and other penetrations.
The key is matching materials to your specific situation. Homes closer to the water need more corrosion resistance. Properties with mature trees benefit from impact-resistant options. We evaluate your location, exposure, and budget to recommend materials that’ll give you the best long-term value. Generic solutions don’t work when salt air and nor’easters are part of the equation.
Active leaks always require immediate attention, but other signs are less obvious. Missing or loose shingles after storms create vulnerabilities that worsen quickly. Ice dams forming along your roof edge indicate ventilation problems that’ll cause bigger issues if ignored.
Interior signs matter too. Water stains on ceilings, musty odors in your attic, or granules collecting in gutters all signal problems developing. Don’t wait for small issues to become expensive disasters. We provide emergency services because we know Long Island weather doesn’t wait for convenient timing. A quick inspection now can save thousands in interior damage later.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and understand the claims process. We can meet with your adjuster, provide detailed damage assessments, and ensure all necessary repairs get included in your claim. Our documentation helps support your case with photos, measurements, and professional recommendations.
Insurance companies respect contractors who know what they’re doing. We speak their language, understand their requirements, and provide the paperwork they need to process your claim efficiently. We’ll also identify damage that might not be obvious to adjusters, ensuring you get full coverage for necessary repairs. The key is getting professional documentation quickly after storm events.
Roof repair addresses specific problems—replacing damaged shingles, fixing flashing leaks, or repairing storm damage. It’s cost-effective when your roof’s overall condition is sound. Replacement involves removing everything down to the deck and installing a completely new system.
Age and extent of problems determine the right choice. If your roof is over 20 years old with multiple issues, replacement usually makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on your roof’s actual condition, not what generates the biggest sale. Sometimes a targeted repair buys you several more years. Other times, replacement is the only smart long-term solution.
Local contractors understand your specific challenges. We know how Long Island weather affects different roof types, which materials perform best in salt air, and how to prevent ice dams common in our area. We’re also here when you need follow-up service or have warranty issues.
Distance matters in roofing. When storms hit, you want contractors who can respond quickly, not companies based hours away. We live and work in this community, so our reputation depends on doing right by our neighbors. Plus, we understand local building codes, permit requirements, and inspection processes. You’re not just hiring a contractor—you’re hiring local expertise and accountability that’ll be here for years to come.
