Hear from Our Customers
You get a roof that handles whatever Long Island throws at it. No more emergency buckets during storms. No more wondering if that leak will get worse. No more sleepless nights when the wind picks up.
Your home stays dry, your energy bills stay reasonable, and your biggest investment stays protected. That’s what happens when experienced contractors use the right materials for our harsh coastal climate.
Twenty-plus years in Westhampton means we know exactly what your roof faces – from hurricane-force winds to ice dams to that relentless salt air that eats through cheap materials.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been protecting Westhampton homes for over two decades. We’re not the guys who show up, slap some shingles on, and disappear. We’re the local team that understands what your roof goes through every season.
Our crews have weathered every major storm that’s hit Suffolk County. We’ve seen what works and what fails when the next nor’easter rolls in. That experience shows in every job we complete.
Licensed, insured, and available when you need us most – including emergencies that can’t wait for Monday morning.
We start with a thorough inspection – not just the obvious problem spots, but your entire roofing system. You get a clear explanation of what we found and honest recommendations about what needs immediate attention versus what can wait.
If you’re moving forward, we protect your property before we start tearing anything off. Tarps, careful debris removal, daily cleanup – your landscaping and daily routine matter to us too.
Installation happens fast but never rushed. Our crews work efficiently because they’ve done this thousands of times, but every detail gets checked twice. Weather delays happen – we’ll keep you informed and your home protected until conditions are right for quality work.

Your roofing service includes materials specifically chosen for our coastal environment. We’re talking about shingles that won’t curl in humidity, flashing that resists salt air corrosion, and underlayment that actually stops water instead of just slowing it down.
Storm damage assessment comes with every service call. Long Island gets hit hard, and insurance claims need proper documentation from contractors who know what adjusters are looking for.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling because we know a small leak becomes a big problem fast in our climate. Whether it’s missing shingles after a windstorm or ice dam damage, we’re available when you need us – not just during business hours.
Most residential roof replacements in Westhampton take 2-4 days depending on size, weather, and complexity. We start by carefully removing old materials and inspecting the deck underneath – sometimes we find issues that weren’t visible from the ground.
Weather delays are common on Long Island, especially during storm season. We’ll never install roofing materials in wet conditions because it compromises the job quality. Your home stays protected with tarps until conditions improve.
Complex roofs with multiple angles, chimneys, or skylights take longer but the extra time ensures proper flashing and weatherproofing around every penetration.
Architectural asphalt shingles perform well here when they’re rated for high winds and installed correctly. We use shingles rated for 130+ mph winds because Long Island sees serious storm activity.
Metal roofing is excellent for coastal areas – it handles salt air better than most materials and sheds water quickly. The upfront cost is higher but the longevity makes sense for many homeowners.
Avoid basic 3-tab shingles in our climate. They’re cheap initially but don’t hold up to the temperature swings, humidity, and wind we get. The money you save upfront gets eaten up in repairs and early replacement.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and help document storm damage properly. Most homeowners don’t realize their policy covers more than just obvious damage – things like granule loss, exposed nail heads, and compromised flashing often qualify.
We provide detailed reports with photos that insurance adjusters need to process claims efficiently. Our experience with Suffolk County weather patterns helps identify damage that might not be obvious to untrained eyes.
The key is getting damage assessed quickly after a storm. Waiting too long can lead to secondary damage that complicates claims, plus some policies have time limits for reporting.
Age is the biggest factor – most asphalt roofs in our climate need replacement after 15-20 years. But storm damage, poor installation, or ventilation problems can shorten that timeline significantly.
Multiple leaks, widespread granule loss, or structural issues usually mean replacement makes more sense than patching. We’ll give you an honest assessment – sometimes spending money on repairs for an old roof is throwing good money after bad.
Energy bills going up can also signal roofing problems. Poor ventilation or damaged insulation makes your HVAC work harder, especially during our humid summers.
Every estimate includes material specifications, labor breakdown, timeline, and cleanup details. We don’t give vague “per square” pricing – you see exactly what materials we’re using and why.
Permit costs, disposal fees, and protection measures are spelled out separately so there are no surprise charges. We also include warranty information for both materials and workmanship.
Weather contingencies get discussed upfront. Long Island weather is unpredictable, so we explain how delays get handled and what protection measures stay in place if work gets interrupted.
Emergency service is available 24/7/365 because roof leaks don’t wait for convenient timing. We prioritize calls based on severity – active leaks and structural damage get immediate response.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping immediate damage while planning proper permanent fixes. Sometimes that means tarping and temporary patches until weather allows for quality repairs.
Response time depends on weather conditions and call volume, but we typically reach emergency calls within a few hours. Severe storm events obviously create higher demand, but we maintain crews specifically for emergency response.
