Roofing contractor in Riverhead, NY

Riverhead is the Suffolk County seat, at the mouth of the Peconic River, about 20 miles east of our shop in Selden. L.I. Taylor Construction is a GAF Master Elite® roofing company, licensed in Suffolk County. We replace and repair roofs in Riverhead and nearby Hampton Bays, Ridge, Shirley and Rocky Point.

What we do in Riverhead

Selden is 20 miles away, so a Riverhead 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.

Roofing in Riverhead: homes, stores and farms

Route 58 and commercial roofs

Route 58 is Riverhead's main commercial corridor, lined with shopping centers and stores, and most of those buildings have flat or low-slope roofs. We install and repair membrane systems for owners and property managers. See flat roofing and commercial roofing.

Open country and wind

A large share of Long Island's remaining farmland is in the Town of Riverhead. A house beside open fields, or near the Sound or Peconic Bay, has little to break the wind. On an exposed roof the starter course, the nailing and the ridge caps decide how it holds up in a storm, and we install each to GAF's specification.

Downtown and the river

Downtown Riverhead runs along Main Street beside the Peconic River and has some of the town's oldest buildings, with a mix of pitched and flat roofs. Older buildings often carry several layers of roofing.

The Town of Riverhead issues the permits

Riverhead is its own town, separate from Brookhaven, with a building department in downtown Riverhead, ZIP 11901. The town also takes in Calverton, Aquebogue, Jamesport, Baiting Hollow and Wading River. Where the work requires a permit, we pull it and it is included in the price.

Riverhead roofing questions

Do you come out as far as Riverhead?

Yes. Riverhead is about 20 miles from our shop, and our own in-house crew does the work. An estimate usually happens within a day or two of your call to 631-404-9022.

Do you work on commercial buildings?

Yes. We replace and repair flat and low-slope roofs on stores, offices and other commercial buildings, and we give building owners a free written estimate the same way we do for homeowners.

I live in a 55 and over community. Can you do my roof?

Yes, but check your community's rules first. Riverhead has several 55 and over communities, and in many the association or the community owner has a say over roof work. We can quote for you or for the board.

Reviews from across Long Island

LI Taylor just did my roof and it was legitimately the best experience I’ve ever had with a company for home repair. Dave is honest, direct, and will work with you in price. There are so many companies that say one thing in their ads and another thing in-person, but Dave is the real deal. Not only would I use his company again for other home repairs, I refuse to use any other company. Their work is top tier.
Thank you so much to the team at LI Taylor for our amazing new roof. Right before the holidays we discovered a leak in our one room and knew we need to get this done because where there is one, more are bound to happen. LI Taylor was able to come in that very weekend and get it done IN ONE DAY! The team showed up early to set up quickly and they took care of business. Once completed they made sure everything was cleaned up around the house. Family and friends have commented how great it looks and we couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to call them back for other home projects in the future.
