About Us
We deliver expert roofing and exterior solutions using high-quality materials and proven techniques — for long-lasting strength, durability, and protection across every Long Island home we work on.
What we do
Full roof replacement and repair built around a sealed, ventilated system — not just a new layer of shingles.
Vinyl, fiber cement and cedar over a properly detailed weather barrier. The visible siding is only half the job.
Repointing, crown rebuilds, liners and caps. Most chimney leaks are flashing failures — we fix the cause.
Why homeowners choose us
Any crew can make a roof look good on install day. The question is what happens after eight winters of ice dams, four hurricanes off the Atlantic, and a decade of salt air. That's the standard we build to.
By the numbers
We've worked on capes in Massapequa, colonials in Huntington, and beach houses in Montauk. Here's what that adds up to.
Across Nassau and Suffolk since 2011.
Triple Excellence Award and Google Guaranteed.
Most full roofs finish in a single day.

How it works
You'll know what's happening, what it costs, and when it's done — from the first phone call to the final nail sweep.
We climb it, photograph it, and check the attic. You get pictures of what we found — including the parts you can't see from the ground.
Materials, labor, tear-off, disposal, permits, and a clear per-sheet price if we find rotted decking. One number, no bait pricing.
We pull permits, order material to your address, and confirm a start date. Landscaping gets tarped and windows covered before anything comes off.
Crew on site by 7am. We magnet-sweep the property, haul the dumpster, and walk the job with you before we ask for final payment.
Before & after
Curled shingles, moss in the north valley, and a chimney flashing that had been caulked over three times. Here's the tear-off and the rebuild.
Levittown colonial — Full tear-off to the deck, 9 sheets of plywood replaced, ice-and-water shield in all valleys, new step flashing at the chimney. Completed in one day.
Huntington cape — Siding removed to the sheathing, two sections of rotted sheathing replaced, new house wrap taped and flashed, fiber cement installed with new 6" gutters.
Homeowner reviews
Every review below came from a Long Island homeowner who paid a real invoice. Names are on file with the job numbers.
"Three roofers told me I needed a full replacement. Cape found a failed chimney flashing, fixed it for a fraction of the price, and told me my roof had eight good years left. That honesty is why they're doing my siding next spring."
"They started at 7am and my new roof was done, cleaned up and inspected by 6pm the same day. I found exactly one nail in the driveway. The written estimate matched the final invoice to the dollar."
"After the last nor'easter half my block was waiting two weeks for a callback. Cape had a tarp on my roof the next morning and the permanent repair done that same week. They didn't gouge me on the emergency either."

Common questions
If your question isn't here, call us at (631) 767-0707. We'd rather answer it before you commit to anything.
Most full asphalt roof replacements on a typical Long Island cape or colonial land between $12,000 and $28,000, depending on square footage, pitch, the number of layers being torn off, and how much decking needs replacing. Cedar and standing-seam metal run higher. We give you a firm written number after we've been on the roof — never a phone quote.
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized — one valley, one flashing, a few blown-off shingles — a repair usually makes sense. Once you're seeing granule loss across the whole surface, curling at the edges, or you're on a second layer already, replacement is the better dollar. We'll tell you which one you're in, even when the repair is the smaller invoice for us.
Yes — home improvement licensed in both Nassau and Suffolk County, with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We hand you copies of both certificates with your estimate, without being asked. If a contractor won't do that, don't let them on your roof.
Most single-family roofs are a one-day job; larger or steeper homes run two. You don't need to leave, but it is loud, so plan around naps and remote meetings. We ask that you move cars out of the driveway and take fragile items off the walls in the attic and top floor.
We do this constantly after nor'easters. We document the damage with dated photos, provide an itemized scope that adjusters accept, and meet the adjuster on site if you'd like us there. We won't, however, tell you to file a claim for wear-and-tear that isn't storm damage.
The manufacturer covers the shingles themselves — typically 30–50 years, depending on the product you pick. The exact term varies by product, so we go through your specific coverage with you before you sign.
