Smart Choice Contracting replaces and repairs asphalt roofs throughout Northport, from the harbor blocks to the inland neighborhoods. Michael Falco, the owner, prices every job personally. We're one ten Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractors on Long Island.
We work the whole of 11768, inside the Village down by the harbor and Main Street, up along Bayview and Ocean Avenue, and out through the unincorporated stretches toward Fort Salonga and Eatons Neck. Give us the address and Michael will come out, get on the roof, and tell you plainly what he finds.
Northport isn't one kind of house. Near the harbor you've got steep-pitched Victorians with turrets, dormers, and more flashing than shingle. Head inland and it's postwar ranches and colonials on quieter streets. The two need different things from a roofer, and the distance from the water changes the math on both. Here's what we run into.
Roofs are the whole business, not a sideline. Three ways we help Northport homeowners.
Asphalt roof replacements across Northport. Warranty coverage reaches 50 years.
Asphalt Shingle InstallationWind damage, chimney leaks, corroded flashing. 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 RepairAn honest look at where your roof stands, 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.
Depends where your house sits, and a Northport mailing address doesn't settle it. Northport is an incorporated village, so if you're inside the village line, your permit goes through the Village of Northport rather than Huntington Town Hall. But 11768 also covers the unincorporated Town of Huntington and, on the peninsula, the Village of Asharoken — three separate building departments, one ZIP code. We figure out which one has jurisdiction over your address, file there, and stay on it through final inspection
It changes the metal. Salt air corrodes aluminum flashing, drip edge, and fasteners much faster close to the Sound than it does a couple of miles inland. On harbor-area homes we spec copper at the chimney and the critical transitions. It costs more upfront and it's the difference between flashing that outlives the shingles and flashing you replace twice.
Two answers. An inland ranch or colonial around 1,900–2,200 square feet runs $11,000 to $14,000. A harbor-area Victorian with steep pitch and complex flashing starts around $18,000 and climbs from there. Both estimates are free and fully itemized.
An inland ranch or colonial is usually one day. A steep Victorian with multiple roof planes and heavy flashing work runs two to three, sometimes more. We tell you which yours is 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.
