Roofing in Babylon: bay wind and village rules

Wind and salt off the bay

The south end of Babylon faces open water, so roofs there take more wind than roofs a few miles inland. Shingles lift first at the eaves, rakes and ridge. On a new roof, starter strip along every edge and correct nailing do most of the work, and salt air is a reason to replace rusted flashing instead of reusing it.

After a coastal storm

Hurricane Sandy caused major flood and wind damage in Babylon Village in 2012. After any hard blow, look for missing tabs, lifted ridge caps and stains on upstairs ceilings. If water is coming in now, see emergency roof repair.

Older village houses

Babylon has been an incorporated village since 1893, and many houses near Main Street are older than the subdivisions around them. Older roofs often have steep pitches, dormers and brick chimneys, which means more flashing to get right. We tear off to the deck so the boards underneath can be checked.

Permits: village or town

The Village of Babylon, ZIP 11702, has its own building department, and its permit rules can differ from the surrounding town. West Babylon and North Babylon fall under the Town of Babylon. We confirm which office applies, and where the work requires a permit, we pull it and it is included in the price.

Babylon roofing questions

Do you work in Babylon Village and the Town of Babylon?

Yes. Both are in Suffolk County, where we hold Home Improvement License HI-64134. The village and the town have separate building departments, and we deal with whichever one covers your address.

Can wind damage be repaired, or do I need a new roof?

Often it can be repaired. A few missing or lifted shingles on a roof that is otherwise sound is a repair, and we price it that way. If the shingles are brittle and breaking across the whole roof, we will tell you that too.

Reviews from across Long Island

The workers did an excellent job replacing my shed roof.The work and cleanup was impeccable.They were very proficient, courteous and professional. David, the owner, is very knowledgeable and accommodating.
Taylor construction did a ton of work on my house … in Coram. From building a shed that looks like a mini version of my house to replacing all my windows, extending my cement patio, house siding, flooring, and my roof. I work from home and I was able to continue to work while they did the construction. They workers were super helpful in helping me make decisions and giving their opinions on what would look best but making me feel like every choice and decision was up to me. Everything came out amazing. Any concerns or issues or questions I had were answered immediately and taken care of the next day. I highly recommend this company and will absolutely use then in the future if I need any additional work done on my house.
