A roof replacement is one of the biggest investments you will make in your home, and it only pays off if the whole system is done correctly. Our crews replace the full system: decking repairs, underlayment, ice and water shield, ventilation, and flashing, not just the shingles you see from the street.
Every job starts with a full inspection and a written estimate, and ends with a magnetic nail sweep and a clean yard. Most residential roofs are completed in one to two days.
Most asphalt roofs last 20 to 25 years on Long Island. Curling or cracking shingles, granules collecting in gutters, repeated leaks, and sagging lines are all signs a Long Island roof repair will not be enough.
Worried about cost? Ask about our flexible financing options with predictable monthly payments and no prepayment penalties.
Tear-off, decking repair, underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing, ventilation, and then the shingles. That is the whole job, and our Long Island roofing crews do every piece of it on every replacement. We strip to bare wood so we can see what the old roof was hiding, then fix the decking while it is open instead of burying it under a fresh layer.
Before a single shingle comes off, you get a written estimate that spells out the work and the price, including what decking replacement costs per sheet. If a noreaster tears the roof open before your scheduled date, our Long Island emergency roof repair crew can tarp it and hold the water back until replacement day. Many replacements finish in a day or two.
A full roof replacement is the biggest exterior project most homeowners ever take on. Here is the honest picture of what you get, what it costs you, and where replacements go wrong.
A real replacement strips the roof to the decking instead of layering new shingles over old ones. We repair the decking itself, then rebuild underlayment, ice and water shield, ventilation, and flashing as one system.
A full-system installation qualifies for the strongest manufacturer warranties available, and we register every one for you. Our own workmanship guarantee goes in writing on top of it.
A documented new roof removes the biggest red flag on a home inspection and returns a large share of its cost at resale. Long Island buyers and appraisers notice it immediately.
The layover quote:
A contractor who offers to shingle over your old roof is hiding the decking. Layovers void most warranties and shorten the new roof's life.
Missing ice and water shield:
Long Island, NY winters back up ice at eaves and valleys. If a quote does not itemize ice and water shield, it is not built for this climate.
Vague decking allowances:
Every honest estimate states the per-sheet price for decking replacement up front. Surprise decking charges are the oldest trick in roofing.
An architectural asphalt roof installed as a full system typically lasts 25 to 30 years on Long Island, and simple maintenance protects that lifespan. A new roof protects your home for decades, but only if you protect it. The checklist is short:
Most replacements land on one of three paths, and the right one depends on your home, your budget, and how long you plan to stay.
1. Architectural Asphalt Shingles:
The Long Island asphalt shingle roofing standard and the choice for most homes. The best value per year of protection, huge color range, and a 20 to 25 year lifespan when installed with proper ventilation.
2. Cedar Shakes and Shingles:
The character choice for shingle-style and coastal homes, and the heart of our Long Island cedar shake roofing service. Higher cost, 30 to 50 year lifespan, and real maintenance requirements.
3. Natural Slate:
The century roof for historic and luxury homes, and the specialty of our Long Island slate roofing crews. The highest upfront investment, and the last roof the house will ever need.
No two replacement prices are the same, and three factors drive almost all of the difference.
1. Size and Pitch:
Roof area sets the material count, and steepness sets the labor. A walkable ranch roof and a steep colonial of the same footprint price very differently.
2. Material Tier:
Architectural asphalt, premium designer shingles, cedar, and slate each occupy their own price band, and each buys a different lifespan.
3. Decking Condition:
What we find under the tear-off is the honest variable. A written per-sheet decking price up front is how you keep it from becoming a surprise.
Every project gets a written, itemized estimate before any work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Roofers price by the square, which is 100 square feet of roof surface, and on Long Island most full architectural asphalt replacements land between roughly $4.50 and $8.00 per square foot installed. Pitch, chimneys, valleys, and decking condition decide where your home falls inside that band.
Ranches and capes: a 1,000 to 1,500 square foot roof typically runs $5,000 to $12,000.
Colonials and larger homes: a 2,000 to 3,000 square foot roof typically runs $10,000 to $24,000, since bigger footprints usually bring steeper, more cut-up rooflines.
Remember that your roof is larger than your floor plan, so a 1,500 square foot house rarely has a 1,500 square foot roof. And be careful with any per-square-foot price quoted over the phone: nobody knows your pitch or decking until they climb up. We measure, inspect for free, and put the real number in writing.
Most Long Island homes get a complete new roof installation in one to two days. Here is the order of work, so you know exactly what is happening overhead:
Your roof installation cost is settled before step one: the written estimate you approve is the number you pay, and the final walkthrough proves the work matches it.

The worst time to buy a roof is the week after it fails. Emergency replacements compress your choices, your schedule, and your negotiating position.
Our Advice: If your roof is past 18 to 20 years, get a free inspection now, even if nothing is leaking. Knowing you have two years of life left lets you replace on your schedule, in the right season, at the right price.
The Deposit Risk:
Storm seasons bring contractors who collect large deposits and vanish. Pay in reasonable stages tied to work completed, never half up front to an unknown company.
The Warranty Risk:
Manufacturer warranties require certified installation. A cheap crew that skips underlayment specs leaves you with a warranty that will not pay when you need it.
Our Approach: Written, itemized estimates before any work begins. Certified installation on every system component. Warranties registered in your name before we consider the job closed.
The first climb up your ladder tells us most of what we need to know. We probe the decking for soft spots, check how the old flashing was cut into the chimney, look at the pipe boots for cracked rubber, and count the layers already on the roof. In the attic we look for daylight, rusty nail tips, and stained insulation, the quiet signs water got in somewhere.
We mark every soft sheet of plywood in chalk and count the sheets into the estimate, so the price reflects your roof and not a guess. On replacement day the crew tarps the flower beds and shrubs, keeps the dumpster off the lawn where we can, and picks the yard clean before the trucks pull out. We have been doing this on Long Island for over ten years, and the cleanup gets judged as hard as the roof.
We treat every roof like it's protecting our own family.

Anyone can print a nice brochure. Before you hand a contractor your roof, read what real customers wrote after the crew left. Our Google profile sits at 5.0 across more than twenty reviews, and the map card next to this page links straight to it. Read the one-star reviews of anyone else you are considering too. That is where the truth about a roofer usually lives.
We earned that rating one replacement at a time, mostly through neighbors telling neighbors. Benjamin Shepherd started this company more than ten years ago, and he still holds the crews to the standard he set on his first roofs. We are licensed and insured, we put every estimate in writing, and if another quote you got is genuinely better for your house, we will say so.
Benny's replaced our whole roof after a storm and made the insurance claim painless. Crew was on time, cleaned up every nail, and the new roof looks incredible. Could not recommend them more.
Got three estimates and Benny's was the only one who actually inspected the attic and flashing. Honest, no pressure, and the price was fair. The new roof was done in two days.
A shingle blew off and I expected the runaround. Instead Benny's came out the next morning, fixed it, and didn't even charge me. That's how you earn a customer for life.
New roof in a single day. The crew showed up on time, protected the landscaping, and the final price matched the quote to the dollar. No surprises anywhere.
Financing made a full replacement doable for us. The office kept us in the loop the whole way and the work passed inspection with zero issues. Truly professional.
Quick response after a windstorm. They tarped the roof the same day and had it fully repaired that week. Lifesavers. I recommend Benny's to every neighbor.
A full roof replacement is one of the biggest investments you can make in your home, but it shouldn't have to wait until leaks force your hand. Our financing options let you replace your roof now and spread the cost into predictable monthly payments instead of draining your savings or leaning on a high-interest credit card.
Checking your options takes just a few minutes and won't affect your credit score. Tell us a little about your roof, and we'll walk you through plans with quick approvals, flexible terms, and no prepayment penalties.
Yes. Long Island roof replacement is our specialty. We replace the full system, decking repairs, underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing, ventilation, and your new shingles, with a written estimate up front and most homes finished in one to two days.
There is no single average that means much, because roof size, pitch, material tier, and decking condition set the price of every job. We inspect for free and give you a written, itemized estimate, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Financing with predictable monthly payments is available if you want to spread the cost out.
A few missing shingles or an isolated leak is usually a repair. Widespread granule loss, sagging, repeated leaks, or a roof past twenty years usually points to replacement. Our free inspection gives you an honest answer, not a sales pitch.
Yes. Every project starts with a free inspection and a written, itemized estimate, including a per-sheet price for any decking replacement so nothing surprises you later. No obligation, no sales pressure, and the estimate is good whether you book us or not.
A complete tear-off, decking repairs where needed, new underlayment, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, new flashing, balanced ventilation, and your new shingles. We also register the manufacturer warranty in your name and put our workmanship warranty in writing before we call the job done.
Yes. We offer plans with predictable monthly payments, terms from 12 to 60 months, and no prepayment penalties. Checking your options takes a few minutes and will not affect your credit score.
Yes. We document wind and hail damage with photos, put the full scope in a written estimate you can hand to your insurance adjuster, and schedule the replacement once your claim is approved. If the roof cannot wait, we can tarp it first to stop the water.
We recommend a full tear-off. It lets us inspect and repair the decking, keeps weight off the structure, and gives your new roof its full lifespan. Layovers hide problems that come back later, and our estimate itemizes the tear-off cost so you see exactly what it covers.
Drop this item. There are zero warranty-phrased queries in the dataset, and its useful content (manufacturer warranty registered in your name, workmanship warranty in writing) has been folded into the order 5 answer so the information survives.
Booking a visit takes one call or the short form on this page. We show up when we said we would, get on the roof, check the attic, and take photos of anything worth showing you. Then we sit at your kitchen table and walk through what we found, what can wait, and what cannot. Plain answers, no scare talk about your ceiling caving in.
You get the estimate in writing before we leave or shortly after, and it stays good while you think it over. You will not get daily calls pushing you toward a signature. Some homeowners book us that week, others call back two winters later, and we treat both the same. If the honest answer is that your roof has a few more years left, that is what we tell you.
