Why Commack roofs fail

What Commack Roofs Actually Need

Most of Commack was built out in the 1950s and 60s, and the housing stock shows it: ranches, high ranches, and splits, mostly with straightforward gable roofs. Simpler geometry than the big colonials to the west, which is good news for your budget. The catch is age. A house built in 1964 is on its second or third roof by now, and what's underneath the shingles matters as much as the shingles themselves. Here's what we run into on Commack roofs.

Plank decking under the shingles

Homes built in Commack in the 1950s and 60s were often sheathed with wood planks, not solid plywood. The planks cup and gap over the years, and you don't see it until the old roof is off. We check the decking during the estimate and quote any re-decking as its own itemized line, so there are no mid-job surprises.

Failed flashing

On a straightforward ranch or split, the chimney is almost always where water gets in first. Masonry chimneys get copper flashing from us, with proper step and counter-flashing, not a bead of caulk.

Ice dams

Snow melts, refreezes at the eaves, and forces water backward under the shingles. Most roofers lay three feet of ice and water shield along the gutter line. We run six to nine.

Poor attic ventilation

Low ranch and split attics were often built with exhaust but no intake, so heat and moisture stall up there and the shingles cook from below. We size the intake and exhaust so the attic actually breathes, instead of just laying new shingles over the problem.

A layer nobody mentions

A house built in 1964 is on its second or third roof by now, and plenty of them got shingled over instead of stripped. That traps heat and hides rot. We tear off to the deck every time, and tell you honestly whether you need a repair or a replacement.

Our Roofing Services in Commack

Roofs are the whole business, not a sideline. Three ways we help Commack homeowners.

PRIMARY

Roof Replacement

Asphalt roof replacements across Commack, usually finished the day we start. Pick one of two complete Owens Corning systems, and our own crew puts it on. Warranty coverage reaches 50 years.

Asphalt Shingle Installation

Roof Repair

Wind damage, chimney leaks, failed flashing. When a repair is genuinely the right call, that's what we'll quote you. Michael goes up himself and gives you a straight read on repair versus replace.

Emergency Roof Repair

Roof Inspection

An honest look at where your roof stands, with a written estimate and no one pressuring you. Smart before a purchase, before listing, or when your homeowners policy renews.

What a New Roof Costs in Commack

$10,000 to $13,000
Typical roof · average 1,900 sq ft home

We quote the job as a whole rather than by the square, because square footage alone doesn't tell you what a roof actually needs. Everything gets itemized, so nothing on the invoice is a surprise.Where you fall in that range depends on:

  1. Which Owens Corning system you pick — the materials and the warranty are what separate them
  2. How cut up your roof is — a roof with four dormers and a chimney is a different animal from a plain gable covering the same footprint
  3. What we find under the old shingles — rotted decking has to be replaced before anything new goes down
  4. How many layers are coming off — a tear-off down to two or three existing layers means more labor and more disposal
  5. How much metal the job needs — copper, drip edge, and flashing vary more than square footage suggests
  6. Which underlayment goes down — synthetic costs more than felt, and ice-and-water shield along the eaves adds to it

Standard

Limited Lifetime warranty

Duration shingles from Owens Corning, Rhino ice and water shield, ProArmor underlayment. The Limited Lifetime material warranty pays 100% on manufacturer defects through year ten, then steps down gradually until year fifty.

Best value

Ultimate

Owens Corning Platinum warranty

The Standard system with the underlayment and leak barrier stepped up to Deck Defense and WeatherLock Mat. That upgrade unlocks the Owens Corning Platinum Warranty, a full fifty years of 100% material coverage, plus fifty years on workmanship, warrantied by Owens Corning rather than by us.

You choose between two complete Owens Corning systems. We install both with the same crew and the same care. The difference is the materials and the warranty.

0% financing for 5 years. We offer it through Service Finance, a third-party lender, with zero down.

Prefer not to finance? Take 15% off the price instead.

$200 deposit. You pay the balance only after the job is done.

Veteran and first responder discount. On every job.
