Why Melville roofs fail

What Melville Roofs Actually Need

Melville sits a few miles inland, so the roofs here fail differently than the ones near the water. Most Melville homes are larger colonials, and that shape is where roofs leak first: the dormers, skylights, and long valleys. Here is what we see most on Melville roofs.

Failed flashing

Dormers, skylights, and chimneys are where water gets in. We use copper flashing on masonry chimneys and do the detail work most roofers skip.

Ice dams

After a heavy snow, ice builds at the eaves and forces water back under the shingles. We lay six to nine feet of ice and water shield along the gutter line, where most roofers lay three.

Poor attic ventilation

A big colonial attic with no intake air cooks the shingles from below and cuts a roof's life in half. Without soffit intake, moisture sits up there and the shingles go brittle early. We size the ventilation so the roof can actually breathe.

End-of-life shingles

A lot of Melville roofs are now 25 to 30 years old and simply worn out. We tell you honestly whether you need a repair or a replacement.
Built for the weather

Built for Nor'easter Wind and Long Island Snow

The wind that lifts Melville roofs comes off the nor'easters, and it works under the first row of shingles. Owens Corning rates its shingles for 130 mph wind with four nails. We use six, plus a factory-sealed starter strip that locks the first row down. Done right, that is the difference between a roof that holds and one that peels.

Roofing is what we do every day. Here is how we help Melville homeowners.

PRIMARY

We replace asphalt roofs across Melville, most in a single day. You choose between two complete Owens Corning systems, our own crew installs it, and we back it with up to a 50-year warranty.

Asphalt Shingle Installation

Roof Repair

From failed flashing to wind-driven leaks, we repair it when a repair is the right call. Michael inspects the roof himself and tells you the truth about whether you need a repair or a replacement.

Emergency Roof Repair

Roof Inspection

A straight assessment of your roof's real condition and a clear written estimate, with no pressure. Worth doing before you buy a house, sell one, or renew your homeowners insurance.

What a New Roof Costs in Melville, NY

$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.

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.
