Roofing contractor in Shirley, NY

Shirley is on the South Shore in the Town of Brookhaven, about 10 miles from our shop in Selden, along William Floyd Parkway on the way to Smith Point. L.I. Taylor Construction is a GAF Master Elite® roofing company, and we replace and repair roofs in Shirley and nearby Bellport, Ridge, Medford and Patchogue.

What we do in Shirley

Selden is 10 miles away, so a Shirley 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 Shirley roofs usually need

Small mid-century houses, many additions

Shirley takes its name from Walter T. Shirley, the developer who sold thousands of small four-room houses and lots here in the mid-1900s. Many have since gained dormers, dens and enclosed porches. The roof over an addition is often lower in pitch than the main house, and the joint between the two is a common place for a leak.

Near the bay and Smith Point

The south end of Shirley runs down to the bay, with Fire Island across the Smith Point Bridge. Houses there are low and open to wind and salt. Wind-driven rain gets under shingles that have lost their seal, so we look closely at edges, ridge caps and flashing.

Stores and flat roofs

William Floyd Parkway and Montauk Highway are lined with shopping centers and single-story commercial buildings, most with flat roofs. Ponding water and open seams are the usual problems. See flat roofing for the membrane systems we install.

Permits in Brookhaven

Shirley roofing questions

My leak is where an addition meets the house. Can it be repaired?

Often, yes. New flashing or a strip of membrane at the joint can stop it if the shingles around it are sound. If the whole roof is worn, we will say so and price both options in writing.

How soon can you get to Shirley?

Shirley is about 10 miles from our shop. Call 631-404-9022 and you reach David, the owner. For a roof that is leaking now, see emergency roof repair.

Is the estimate free?

Yes. Estimates are free and in writing, for repairs as well as new roofs.

Reviews from across Long Island

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.
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.
