Smart Choice Contracting replaces and repairs asphalt roofs across East Northport. Michael Falco, the owner, prices every job personally, and most roofs go on in a single day. We're one of ten Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractors on Long Island.
We cover all of 11731 — the neighborhoods either side of Larkfield Road, the streets around the train station, the blocks running toward Elwood and Clay Pitts Road, and everything up toward the Northport line. Send us the address and Michael will come out, get on the roof, and tell you plainly what he finds.
East Northport filled in after the war as a commuter neighborhood, and the housing stock reflects that: capes, splits, and ranches, built close together in age and style. Being a couple of miles inland means you skip the salt-air problems the harbor homes deal with. What you get instead are attic and ventilation problems, because of how these houses were framed. Here's what we see.
Roofs are the whole business, not a sideline. Three ways we help East Northport homeowners.
Asphalt roof replacements across East Northport, most finished the day we start. Pick one of two complete Owens Corning systems, and our own crew installs it. Warranty coverage reaches 50 years.
Asphalt Shingle InstallationChimney leaks, wind damage, failed flashing. When a repair is the right call, that's what we'll quote. Michael goes up himself and gives you a straight read on repair versus replace.
Emergency Roof RepairAn honest look at where your roof stands, including the attic, with a written estimate and nobody pressuring you. Smart before a purchase, before listing, or when your homeowners policy renews.
Leak DetectionWe 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:
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.
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.
Only ten contractors on all of Long Island carry Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status. We're one of them, and you can verify it on Owens Corning's contractor locator.
Half a century of coverage on materials and labor both.
Our policy is written for roofing specifically. A lot of general contractor coverage excludes roof work in the fine print.
It's a fair question, and the two places get mixed up constantly, same school district, and the LIRR station called Northport actually sits in East Northport. For roofing, the difference is who issues your permit. East Northport is an unincorporated hamlet, so your permit goes through the Town of Huntington. Northport is an incorporated village and handles its own. If your ZIP is 11731 you're almost certainly on the Town side, and we file it either way. We both work.
Yes, and it's the question most worth asking here. Cape roofs have knee-wall attics with very little room for intake ventilation at the eaves, which is why so many of them ice-dam in the same spot every winter and why their shingles wear out early. We go into the attic before quoting a cape. Sometimes the fix is baffles and additional intake, sometimes it's more involved. Either way you'll know before you sign, and we'd rather solve it than shingle over it.
Figure $10,000 to $13,000 for a typical cape, split, or ranch around 1,800 square feet. Final price depends on the Owens Corning system you pick and on the decking underneath. Estimates are free and fully itemized.
One day for most of them. Capes, splits, and ranches go quickly. If yours has a complication that pushes it to two days we'll say so when we quote it, and your roof is never left open overnight.
Both. Licensed in Suffolk and Nassau County, insured specifically for roofing work. Suffolk home improvement license #HI-62204 — verify it through Suffolk County Consumer Affairs before you sign with us or anyone else.
Book a time and Michael Falco comes to your East Northport home, goes through the attic as well as the roof, and leaves you with an itemized quote. Nobody calls you afterward with a pitch.
