Premium Roofing Materials We Install

Asphalt Shingle Roofing Systems: Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing choice throughout New York and Long Island due to their excellent combination of affordability, durability, and aesthetic versatility. Modern asphalt shingles are available in architectural and luxury styles that provide enhanced dimensional appearance, superior weather resistance, and extended warranty coverage.
 
Our asphalt shingle installations include three-tab shingles for budget-conscious applications, architectural shingles that provide enhanced curb appeal and performance, and luxury shingles that replicate the appearance of slate, cedar, or tile at a fraction of the cost. All of our asphalt shingle systems include advanced underlayment materials, proper ventilation components, and ice dam protection specifically designed for New York’s winter conditions.
 
Metal Roofing Systems: Metal roofing continues growing in popularity throughout our region due to its exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and distinctive appearance options. We install standing seam metal roofing, metal shingle systems, and corrugated metal applications using premium materials from leading manufacturers.
 
Metal roofing systems provide superior wind resistance for coastal areas, excellent snow shedding capabilities for winter weather, and outstanding energy efficiency that can significantly reduce cooling costs during summer months. Our metal roofing installations include specialized fastening systems, thermal barriers, and ventilation components that optimize performance and longevity in New York’s diverse climate conditions.
 
Natural Slate Roofing Systems: For homeowners seeking the ultimate in longevity, elegance, and prestige, natural slate roofing provides unmatched beauty and can provide over a century of reliable service with proper installation and maintenance. We work with both Welsh slate and Vermont slate, selecting materials that complement your home’s architectural style while providing superior weather resistance.
 
Our slate installation teams understand the specialized techniques required for proper slate roofing, including structural support requirements, proper fastening methods, snow guards for winter safety, and flashing details that ensure long-term weather protection. Slate roofing represents a premium investment that significantly enhances property value while providing generations of reliable protection.
 
Cedar Shake and Shingle Systems: Natural wood roofing provides timeless beauty, excellent insulation properties, and distinctive character that complements both traditional and contemporary architectural styles. We install premium cedar shakes and shingles using proper installation techniques that ensure optimal performance and longevity.
 
Our cedar roofing installations include fire-resistant treatments where required by local codes, proper ventilation systems that prevent moisture problems, and protective staining or sealing that enhances weather resistance while preserving the natural beauty of wood roofing materials.
 
Clay and Concrete Tile Roofing: Tile roofing systems provide exceptional durability, distinctive Mediterranean or Spanish architectural styling, and excellent thermal performance that helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. We install both clay and concrete tile systems using specialized techniques that account for New York’s snow load requirements and thermal cycling conditions.
 
Our tile roofing installations include reinforced structural support, proper underlayment systems, snow retention devices, and specialized flashing details that ensure optimal performance in northern climates while maintaining the authentic appearance that makes tile roofing so desirable.
 
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing Systems: For contemporary architectural styles, additions, or specific structural requirements, we install high-performance membrane roofing systems, including TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), and modified bitumen systems that provide excellent waterproofing and energy efficiency.
 
Our flat roofing installations include proper insulation systems, tapered insulation for positive drainage, high-quality membrane materials, and comprehensive flashing details that ensure long-term weather protection and energy efficiency for flat or low-slope applications.
 
Synthetic Roofing Materials: Advanced synthetic roofing materials provide the aesthetic appeal of natural materials with enhanced durability and reduced maintenance requirements. We install synthetic slate, synthetic cedar shakes, and composite shingles that replicate traditional materials while providing superior weather resistance and longevity.
 
These innovative materials are particularly well-suited to New York’s climate conditions, offering excellent impact resistance, freeze-thaw durability, and fade resistance while requiring minimal maintenance compared to natural alternatives.
