Solaroof NY has been serving Long Island since 1998. We know how salt air, heavy rain, and freeze-thaw winters wear on a roof, so we plan every installation around that, from the deck to the final course. Every roof installation starts with an honest look at your property, a clear explanation of what it needs and why, and a clear quote that explains what is in the price. Looking for something else?

Residential Roof Installation on Long Island
A new roof protects everything under it, and the way it goes on matters as much as the material. Our residential roof installation on Long Island is planned around your house, its roof shape, and the weather it faces, so the roof keeps water out in every season.
Our residential roof installation includes:
- New roof installation for homes
- Asphalt shingle, metal, cedar, or flat roofing
- Deck, ventilation, and flashing done right
- A clean job site when the work is done
Commercial Roof Installation on Long Island
Commercial roofs carry more than weather. They carry rooftop equipment, foot traffic, and a business that cannot afford a leak. Our commercial roof installation on Long Island is planned around the building, how it is used, and what sits on the roof, so the new system performs for the long run.
Our commercial roof installation includes:
- New roof installation for commercial buildings
- Flat and low-slope roofing systems
- Planning around rooftop equipment
- Scheduling planned around your business
Roofing Materials We Install on Long Island
The right roof depends on your house, your budget, and how much sun, wind, and salt air it sees. Here are the four roofing systems we install, and what each one does best.
Metal Roof Installation
Metal roofing stands up to wind, rain, and snow, and it sheds water quickly. It is a strong choice for homeowners who want a long lasting roof with a clean, modern look.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Installation
Architectural shingles are a popular choice for homes. They give solid protection from wind and rain, come in many colors, and suit a wide range of budgets.
Flat Roof Installation
Flat and low-slope roofs need the right drainage and the right membrane. We install flat roofing systems that move water off the roof and stand up to sun and weather.
Cedar Roof Installation
Cedar shakes and shingles give a house a warm, natural look. They need good ventilation underneath to dry out and last, which is where careful installation matters most.
What Goes Into a Roof Installation
What you see on top is only part of the job. A roof installation is a set of layers, and every layer has a job to do.
- Roofing materialShingles, metal, cedar, or a flat roof membrane. The part you see, and the first defense against rain and sun.
- Flashing and drip edgeMetal pieces at edges, chimneys, vents, and walls that guide water away from the places it likes to sneak in.
- UnderlaymentA water resistant layer under the roofing material, so there is a second barrier if water gets past the top.
- Roof deckThe base everything is fastened to. We check it first and repair anything that is not solid.
- VentilationRoof vents that let air move through the attic, which helps the roof and the house. Roof vent installation is part of the job, not an extra.

Our Roof Installation Process
From the first look at your roof to the final cleanup, here is how a roof installation goes with Solaroof NY.
Roof Evaluation and Planning
We look at your roof, the structure under it, and how the building is used. Then we explain what the job needs and recommend a roofing system that fits.
Material Selection
We help you choose the material that suits your property, your budget, and Long Island weather, whether that is asphalt shingle, metal, cedar, or flat roofing.
Roof Preparation
Before anything new goes on, we check the roof deck and remove any damaged material. A solid, clean base comes first.
Professional Roof Installation
Underlayment, flashing, drip edge, roofing material, and ventilation go on in the right order, with attention to every edge and detail.
Quality and Performance Check
When the installation is finished, we inspect the whole roof, including the flashing, vents, and edges, to make sure it is ready for the weather.
Final Cleanup
We clear the work area, remove debris, and leave your property tidy and safe.
Cost of Roof Installation on Long Island
No two roofs cost the same. Here is what moves the price, so a quote makes sense when you get one.
What Pushes the Price Up
- Size and shape. A bigger roof with valleys, dormers, and chimneys takes more material and more work.
- The material. Metal and cedar cost more to install than asphalt shingles.
- Steep or hard to reach. A steep pitch or tight access needs more time and safety setup.
- Deck repairs. Soft or damaged decking has to be fixed before the new roof goes on.
- Extra details. Skylights, extra vents, and complex flashing add to the job.
What Keeps It Down
- A simple roof shape. Fewer valleys and breaks mean less cutting and less labor.
- A standard material. Asphalt shingles are the easiest on the budget.
- Easy access. A low pitch and clear working space speed the job up.
- A solid deck. When the base is sound, there is nothing extra to repair.
- A clear plan. Knowing the scope up front means no surprises later.
A Clear Quote Should List
- Roofing material
- Underlayment
- Flashing and drip edge
- Ventilation
- Deck repairs
- Cleanup
Every roof is different, so we do not guess at a price. We look at your roof first and explain what is in the quote.

It depends on your roof. The main things are the size and shape of the roof, the material you choose, how steep it is, how easy it is to reach, and whether the deck needs repairs. Metal and cedar cost more to install than asphalt shingles. The only way to get a real number is to have someone look at your roof, and we give free quotes that explain what is in the price.
How long does it take to install a roof?
It depends on the size of the roof, the material, and the weather. A small, simple roof takes less time than a large one with many valleys, dormers, and chimneys. After we look at your roof, we give you a time estimate for your job.
What is the best roofing material for a Long Island home?
There is no single best material. Salt air, heavy rain, wind, and freeze-thaw winters all work on a roof, so the right choice depends on your house, your budget, and the look you want. Asphalt shingle, metal, cedar, and flat roofing each suit different homes, and we help you pick the one that fits.
What is the difference between roof installation and roof replacement?
Roof installation means putting a new roof system on a building. Roof replacement means taking an old roof off and putting a new one on in its place. The two jobs overlap, and we will tell you which one your roof needs. See our roof replacement service.
Can a new roof be installed over my old one?
Sometimes, depending on the material and the condition of the roof underneath. Taking the old roof off lets us check the deck and fix anything that is soft or damaged, which is why we look at the roof first and tell you honestly what it needs.
What is included in a roof installation?
A roof installation is more than the roofing you see on top. It includes the roof deck, underlayment, flashing and drip edge, the roofing material, and roof ventilation. A clear quote should list each of these so you know what you are paying for.
