What we do in Islip

Selden is 13 miles away, so a Islip estimate usually happens within a day or two of your call. Repairs get the same free written estimate as a full replacement, and after storm damage we photograph everything and write a scope you can hand to your insurance adjuster. Every roof is installed to GAF's specification, which is what keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid. Our own crew does the work, and every call about your job goes straight to David, the owner.

What Islip roofs are up against

Bay wind and salt air

South of Montauk Highway the wind comes straight off the bay. Shingles fail at the edges first, so the starter course, the rakes and the ridge get extra attention. Salt air is hard on exposed metal too, so flashing and vents get a close look.

Older colonials and capes

Islip has many houses from the first half of the last century, some with board decking and more than one layer of old shingles. We tear off to the deck, replace rotted boards or plywood and install a complete GAF shingle system.

Roof repair in Islip

After a coastal storm, a handful of missing shingles or a lifted ridge cap can usually be repaired. If the roof is otherwise sound, we quote the repair. For an active leak, see emergency roof repair.

Permits and the town

The hamlet is in the Town of Islip, ZIP 11751. Where the work requires a permit, we pull it and it is included in the price.

Islip roofing questions

Will a new roof hold up to wind near the water?

Installed to GAF's specification, yes. Architectural shingles are rated for high wind, and the rating depends on correct nailing and a proper starter course at the edges. That is the part we are strict about.

Do you only do roofs?

No. The same crew installs siding and windows and doors, so one company can handle the whole exterior.

Is the estimate free?

Yes. Estimates are free and in writing, for repairs as well as new roofs. Call 631-404-9022.

Reviews from across Long Island

I had a fantastic experience with David who owns the company. They arrived right on time, quickly found the source of my roof leak, and explained the repair process clearly. The work was done efficiently at a fair price, and they left my yard completely clean of debris. Highly recommended!
We had a section of roof over our patio that was in need of repair, all the other companies we asked said they wouldn’t do such a small job. But David said “No problem”! They were prompt, experienced, courteous and cleaned up everything before they left. I find this to be a sign of a company that has respect and pride for not only the work they’re doing, but respect for the people they are working for.
