Where we work

Serving the Village of Lloyd Harbor

We work the whole village, the wooded interior off West Neck Road, the properties along Lloyd Harbor Road and Middle Hollow, and out onto the Neck toward Caumsett and Target Rock. Worth knowing: Lloyd Harbor shares the 11743 ZIP with Huntington and Halesite, so the ZIP doesn't tell you much. The village line does, and it's what determines your permit. Give us the address and Michael will come out and tell you plainly what he finds.

Why Lloyd Harbor roofs fail

What Lloyd Harbor Roofs Actually Need

Lloyd Harbor has large homes on big wooded lots, much of it close to the water and some of it fully exposed out on the Neck. Roofs here are bigger, more complicated, and under more weather than anything a few miles inland. Here's what we deal with.

Salt air destroying the metal

Out here it's the flashing that goes first, not the shingles. Salt off the harbor and the Sound corrodes aluminum drip edge, step flashing, and fasteners years ahead of schedule. We spec copper at chimneys and the critical transitions on water-facing properties. It costs more once and saves you doing it twice.

Exposed wind on the Neck

There's nothing between a Lloyd Neck roofline and open water. Wind gets under the first course of shingles and works upward from there. Fastening and starter strip matter more here than anywhere else in Huntington.

Complex rooflines

Multiple planes, dormers, turrets, long valleys, and chimneys meeting at awkward angles. On a roof like this the shingle almost never fails first. The joint does. Step flashing goes in course by course and counter-flashing gets cut into the masonry.

Tree debris in the valleys

Mature canopy on these lots drops into every valley and behind every chimney, holds water against the roof, and rots the decking underneath long before anything shows inside. We clear and probe the valleys on every inspection.

Ice dams

Snow melts, refreezes at the eaves, drives water backward under the shingles. Most roofers lay three feet of ice and water shield along the gutter line. We run six to nine, and more where the roof geometry calls for it.

Our Roofing Services in Lloyd Harbor

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

PRIMARY

Roof Replacement

Asphalt roof replacements across Lloyd Harbor. Pick one of two complete Owens Corning systems, and our own crew installs it. Warranty coverage reaches 50 years.

Asphalt Shingle Installation

Roof Repair

Corroded flashing, chimney leaks, storm damage. When a repair is genuinely 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 Repair

Roof Inspection

An honest assessment of where your roof stands, with a written estimate and nobody pressuring you. Worth doing before a purchase, before listing, or when your homeowners policy renews.

Leak Detection

What a New Roof Costs in Lloyd Harbor

$11,000 to $13,000
Typical roof · average 2,000 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.

Why Lloyd Harbor Homeowners Choose Us

Our policy is written for roofing specifically. A lot of general contractor coverage excludes roof work in the fine print.
