Smart Choice Contracting is a roofing contractor in Suffolk County that replaces asphalt shingle roofs. A typical roof replacement costs $11,000 to $13,000. Most jobs take one day. The owner, Michael Falco, gives every estimate himself.
We replace, repair and inspect asphalt shingle roofs across Suffolk County. Not sure which one you need? Michael will look at your roof and tell you.

A new asphalt shingle roof, installed by our own crew. Most are done in one day.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
We fix leaks, loose flashing, missing shingles and wind damage. If a repair will do the job, we won't sell you a new roof.
Emergency Roof RepairStorm Damage Roof Repair
A full check of your roof with a written estimate. Good to have before you buy or sell a home, or when your insurance asks.
Leak DetectionMichael Falco will inspect your roof, explain what he finds, and recommend the most practical solution. If a repair is all you need, he'll tell you.
Check what each quote puts under the shingles. Cheap quotes usually save money there, where you can't see it.
If a line is missing from a quote, ask the roofer about it.
It depends on where you live. Near the water, salt air rusts roofing nails. On the South Shore, strong wind lifts shingle edges. Inland, ice builds up at the gutters.
Michael measures your roof himself and gives you the written price at the same visit.
One day. About 98% of the roofs we replace in Suffolk County are done from start to finish in a single day. Big or steep roofs take us two days, and we tell you that before we start. We never leave your roof open overnight.
Here is what your install day with us looks like:
Owens Corning Duration asphalt shingles on the full Owens Corning roof system. We register the warranty and Owens Corning emails it to you. Our own labor warranty covers the install.
Everything in Standard, with a better leak barrier and underlayment. You get 50 years of coverage on materials and labor, backed by Owens Corning, not the roofer. It moves to the new owner if you sell.
Metal strips along every gutter line. New York State code requires it. It keeps water off the wood behind your gutters.
A waterproof layer 6 feet up from the gutters, or 9 feet on wide overhangs. Code says it must reach 2 feet past the outside wall. Many roofers only install 3 feet.
Covers the rest of the roof. It is stronger than old tar paper and does not tear in wind.
Owens Corning Starter Strip Plus on every edge. It has glue from the factory, so wind can't get under the first row.
Six hot-dip galvanized nails in each shingle. These nails resist rust from Long Island salt air much longer than regular nails.
Copper, not aluminum, where the roof meets the chimney. This is where leaks start most often.
A ridge vent at the top if air can come in at the bottom. If it can't, we add an Owens Corning intake vent.
Matching Owens Corning cap shingles on every ridge. Then we register your warranty.

Only asphalt shingle roofs. We install Owens Corning Duration asphalt shingles on almost every job. We don't do metal, slate, cedar or flat roofs, so our crew does the same work every day. With our Ultimate package, your roof comes with a 50-year Owens Corning warranty on both materials and labor.
With us, a full roof replacement on a 2,000 sq ft home costs $11,000 to $13,000. Large homes can cost up to about $28,000.
Yes. Salt air rusts regular nails. We use hot-dip galvanized nails on every roof we install.
No. We always remove the old roof first so we can check the wood underneath.
Yes, on a dry day above freezing with no snow on the roof.
No. Every job is a full tear-off. Bad plywood is invisible until the old roof is off, and covering it over is how new roofs fail early.
Yes. This is 10 to 15% of our work. We schedule ahead of your deadline and send photos and a written report to your carrier.
Standard gives you the full Owens Corning material warranty plus our workmanship coverage. Ultimate gives you the Owens Corning Platinum Protection warranty: 50 years, backed by Owens Corning, covering workmanship, and transferable to the next owner.
Check what each quote puts under the shingles. Cheap quotes usually save money there, where you can't see it.
If a line is missing from a quote, ask the roofer about it.
