What is included
What's Included in Metal Roof Installation
Every metal roof installation includes the full scope: tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, panels, flashing, and cleanup. We don't nickel-and-dime you with add-ons for basic materials. Here's what you get.
Full Tear-Off and Disposal
We remove the old roofing down to the decking and haul it away. Dumpster and disposal fees are included in your price. You don't need to rent anything or make trips to the transfer station.
Decking Inspection and Repair
We inspect every sheet of plywood for rot, delamination, and soft spots. Minor repairs are included. If large sections need replacement, we show you photos and get your approval before adding cost.
Ice and Water Shield
We install ice and water shield along eaves, valleys, and penetrations to prevent ice dams and wind-driven rain from getting under the panels. This is code-required in New York and we never skip it.
Synthetic Underlayment
A full layer of synthetic underlayment covers the roof deck before panels go on. It's a secondary water barrier that protects your home if a panel is ever damaged or removed.
Metal Panels and Trim
Your choice of standing seam or corrugated panels in the color and gauge you selected. Ridge caps, drip edge, and all trim pieces are included and installed to manufacturer spec.
Flashing and Penetrations
Chimney flashing, pipe boots, skylight flashing, and vent seals are all replaced. Old flashing is a common leak source, so we don't reuse it. Everything gets new seals and proper detailing.

Service overview
Metal Roof Installation Freeport NY: What the Job Actually Involves
Metal roof installation Freeport NY means replacing your existing roof covering with interlocking steel or aluminum panels that shed water, resist wind uplift, and last 40 to 70 years. The work starts with a full tear-off down to the decking, then we inspect for rotting decking or failed flashing, install ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys, roll out synthetic underlayment, and fasten panels with concealed clips or exposed fasteners depending on the profile. Ridge caps, drip edge, pipe boots, and chimney flashing all get replaced, not reused.
Freeport sits right on the South Shore, so roofs here take a beating from salt-laden wind, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer hail. Asphalt shingles that last 20 years inland often fail in 12 to 15 near the water. That's why so many homeowners call us for a Freeport NY metal roof install after a storm tears off shingles or an ice dam backs water under the eaves. If you've been searching for metal roof installation near me Freeport, we're local, licensed, and we've been doing this work since 2005.
- 40 to 70 Year Lifespan — A properly installed standing seam metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years, compared to 15 to 20 for asphalt shingles near the coast. That means you install once and skip two or three shingle replacements. For a Freeport home, that's tens of thousands in avoided tear-off and disposal costs over the life of the house.
- Wind Ratings to 140 MPH — Standing seam panels with concealed clips carry wind uplift ratings up to 140 mph, which matters when nor'easters roll up the South Shore. Shingles start peeling at 60 to 70 mph. After a storm, you're the house with the intact roof while neighbors are filing insurance claims for missing shingles and water damage.
- Cuts Cooling Bills 10 to 25% — Metal reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. Homeowners typically see cooling costs drop 10 to 25% after a metal roof install Freeport NY, especially on south- and west-facing roof planes. If your attic hits 130 degrees in July, that heat is coming through your shingles. Metal stops it at the surface.
- Low Maintenance, No Rot — Metal doesn't rot, crack, or grow moss. You won't be up there replacing missing shingles after every storm or scraping algae streaks. Once a year, check that gutters are clear and glance at the flashing around chimneys and vents. That's it. No shingle cutter, no bundles of replacements in the garage.
- Local Crews, Not Subcontractors — The guys on your roof work for us, not a temp agency. They've installed hundreds of metal roofs on Long Island and know how to detail flashing around chimneys and skylights so it doesn't leak. When you call with a question, you talk to someone who's been on your roof.
- Manufacturer-Certified Installation — We're certified by major manufacturers, which means your warranty is valid and enforceable. Cut-rate installers void warranties by skipping underlayment or using the wrong fasteners. We follow the spec sheet every time, and we document it with photos so there's no dispute later.
- 21 Years in Business — We started in 2005 and we're still here. That's not a marketing line. It means we've survived recessions, storms, and every fly-by-night competitor who underbid a job and disappeared. If you need metal roof installation services Freeport, you want a company that'll still be around when the warranty matters.
- Same-Day Estimates, No Charge — Call before noon and we can usually get someone out the same day. You get a written estimate with a firm price, not a range that balloons once work starts. If you've been searching for metal roof installation near me Freeport and getting voicemail, try us. We answer.
The service timeline
Our Metal Roof Installation Process
Free Inspection
We come out, get on the roof, and measure. You get a written estimate with panel type, gauge, color, and a firm price. We check the decking from the attic side too, because soft spots mean extra plywood. Most inspections take 45 to 60 minutes. No charge, no pressure.
Material Order
Once you approve the estimate, we order panels cut to your roof's exact dimensions. Standing seam panels are roll-formed to length, so there are no horizontal seams to leak. Delivery typically takes 5 to 10 business days. We schedule your install date at the same time so you're not waiting.
Tear-Off and Decking
On day one, we strip the old roof down to the plywood, haul it away, and inspect every sheet. Rotted or delaminated decking gets replaced with new 1/2-inch plywood. We install ice and water shield along the eaves, valleys, and penetrations, then roll out synthetic underlayment across the field.
Panel Installation
Panels go up in order, starting at the eave and working to the ridge. Concealed clips fasten standing seam panels to the deck, allowing them to expand and contract with temperature swings without backing out. Ridge caps, drip edge, and all flashing get installed and sealed. A 1,500-square-foot roof takes two to three days.
Final Walkthrough
We magnet-sweep the yard and driveway for nails, then walk the roof and gutters with you. You get photos of the finished installation, warranty paperwork, and our contact info. If anything looks off in the first year, call us and we come back. That's the whole point of hiring a local crew.

Tools and Methods We Use
Roofing Nail Gun
Fastens underlayment and decking securely and consistently. We adjust depth so nails seat properly without tearing through the material.
Seam Roller
Locks standing seam panels together at the seams. A properly rolled seam is watertight and won't separate under thermal expansion.
Chalk Line
Marks straight reference lines for panel alignment. Straight panels mean proper overlap and no gaps at seams.
Pry Bar
Removes old shingles, flashing, and nails during tear-off. Allows us to inspect the decking underneath without damaging it.
Roofing Safety Harness
Keeps our crew safe on steep pitches. We use full harness systems with anchors rated for fall arrest.
Air Compressor
Powers pneumatic nail guns and staplers. Consistent air pressure means consistent fastener depth across the whole roof.
Ladder Stabilizer
Keeps ladders stable and prevents them from damaging gutters. Safer for our crew and protects your home's exterior.
Manufacturer Installation Specs
We follow the manufacturer's written installation instructions exactly. That means the right underlayment, the right fastener spacing, and the right flashing details. Following spec keeps your warranty valid and your roof watertight.
Concealed Fastener Systems
Standing seam panels attach with concealed clips that allow thermal expansion and contraction. No exposed fasteners means no rubber washers to dry out and leak. The roof moves with temperature changes without backing out screws.
Ice and Water Shield at Critical Areas
We install ice and water shield along eaves, valleys, and around penetrations. This membrane seals around nails and prevents water from getting under the panels if ice dams or wind-driven rain occur.
Photo Documentation
We photograph the decking, underlayment, and finished installation. You get copies for your records and for warranty purposes. If there's ever a question about what's under the panels, we have proof.
Where this service helps
When Metal Roof Installation Makes Sense
Your asphalt shingle roof is 15 to 20 years old and you're facing another replacement.
Instead of installing shingles again, we install a metal roof that lasts 40 to 70 years. You pay more upfront but never replace it again. For a Freeport home, that's two or three shingle replacements you skip. One installation, decades of protection. No more tear-offs, no more shingle bundles in the garage.
You've had multiple roof leaks repaired and they keep coming back.
We tear off the old roof, find the actual source of the leaks, and install a new metal roof system with proper underlayment and flashing. No more patching. The problem is solved at the deck level. A dry house and no more repair bills. The leaks stop because the roof is new and installed correctly.
You're building a new home or addition and want a roof that matches coastal weather.
We install standing seam or corrugated metal panels sized for your roof's pitch and structure. We coordinate with your builder and handle the roofing scope from decking to ridge cap. A finished roof that's ready for inspection and built to handle South Shore wind and salt air.
You're selling your home and want to upgrade the roof to attract buyers.
A new metal roof is a selling point. It signals low maintenance and long life. We install it quickly so you can list without delay, and we provide documentation for the buyer's agent. A roof that adds value and reassures buyers they won't be replacing it soon.

How Metal Roof Installation Works in Freeport
Freeport's climate is tough on roofs. Salt air corrodes fasteners and flashing. Nor'easters drive rain sideways into places shingles can't protect. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter open gaps at seams. Summer heat bakes asphalt shingles until they crack. Metal roofing handles all of it better than any other material. We install aluminum and steel panels with corrosion-resistant coatings and stainless fasteners, so salt air doesn't eat them. We detail flashing to local code, which means ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, proper drip edge, and sealed penetrations. If you've been looking for metal roof installation services Freeport homeowners recommend, we've been doing this work here since 2005. We know the building departments in Freeport, Baldwin, Merrick, and the other villages we serve. We know which inspectors want what. That saves you time and avoids failed inspections.
Freeport Village
Many homes here are older capes and colonials with steep pitches. Metal panels work well on these roofs and shed snow fast.
Nautical Mile Area
Salt air is strongest near the water. We use aluminum panels and stainless fasteners to resist corrosion in this area.
Baldwin
Mix of ranches and two-story homes. We've installed metal roofs on both, and we know the village's permit process.
Merrick
Larger homes with complex roof lines. Standing seam panels handle valleys and dormers better than shingles.
Wantagh
Tree cover means debris and shade. Metal roofs resist moss and algae better than asphalt in shaded areas.
Salt air corrosion near the water
Standard fasteners and flashing corrode within a few years. We use stainless steel fasteners and aluminum panels with protective coatings to extend life.
Nor'easters with wind-driven rain
Rain gets pushed under shingles and into attics. Metal panels with concealed clips and proper underlayment keep water out even in high winds.
Freeze-thaw cycles in winter
Ice dams form at eaves and force water under shingles. We install ice and water shield and metal panels that shed snow, reducing ice dam risk.
Summer heat and humidity
Attics overheat and drive cooling costs up. Metal reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping attics cooler and reducing AC load.
Before and after
What a successful service visit changes.
Baldwin Ranch: Shingles to Standing Seam
Before
A 1,200-square-foot ranch in Baldwin had 18-year-old asphalt shingles with missing tabs, granule loss, and two active leaks. The homeowner had paid for three repairs in two years and was tired of patching.
After
We tore off the old roof, replaced four sheets of rotted decking, and installed 24-gauge standing seam panels in charcoal gray. The job took three days. The homeowner's cooling bill dropped about 15% the following summer, and no leaks since.
Maintenance: Clear gutters twice a year and check flashing around the chimney. That's it. No shingles to replace, no granules in the gutters.
Merrick Colonial: Storm Damage to Metal Upgrade
Before
A nor'easter tore off shingles across the south-facing roof plane of a Merrick colonial. The homeowner filed an insurance claim but decided to upgrade to metal instead of reinstalling shingles that would fail again.
After
We installed corrugated metal panels in forest green over new synthetic underlayment and ice and water shield. The insurance payout covered part of the cost. The roof has since weathered two winters with no damage or leaks.
Maintenance: Inspect fasteners once a year and touch up any scratched paint with matching touch-up paint. Corrugated panels are easy to repair if a branch falls on them.
Freeport Commercial Building: Flat Roof to Metal
Before
A commercial building near the Nautical Mile had a modified bitumen flat roof with ponding water and recurring leaks. Tenants complained about water stains and the property manager was tired of emergency repairs.
After
We installed a standing seam metal roof with a slight pitch to improve drainage. The ponding stopped, leaks stopped, and the building's cooling load dropped. The project took five days and was phased to avoid disrupting tenants.
Maintenance: Annual inspection of seams and flashing. Metal roofs on commercial buildings typically need less maintenance than membrane roofs and last twice as long.
Problems we solve
Problems Metal Roof Installation Solves
If you're dealing with any of these issues, a new metal roof is often the permanent fix. We see these problems every week in Freeport and the surrounding towns.
Recurring roof leaks after every storm
Water stains on ceilings, mold in the attic, and repeated repair bills that add up to more than a new roof would cost. We tear off the old roof, inspect the decking, and install new underlayment and metal panels. The source of the leak is eliminated, not patched. You stop paying for repairs that don't last.
Missing shingles and wind damage
Each storm takes more shingles, leaving the deck exposed. Insurance claims get denied if damage is from wear, not a single event. Metal panels with concealed clips are rated for winds up to 140 mph. Once installed, you're not chasing shingles after every nor'easter. The roof stays intact.
Ice dams backing water under the roof
Ice dams force meltwater under shingles and into your walls and ceilings. They cause rot, mold, and expensive interior damage. We install ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys, and metal panels shed snow better than shingles. The combination prevents ice dams from forming and stops water from getting in if they do.
High cooling bills from a hot attic
Asphalt shingles absorb heat and radiate it into your attic, driving temperatures above 130 degrees and forcing your AC to run constantly. Metal reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. Homeowners typically see cooling costs drop 10 to 25% after installation. The attic stays cooler and your AC gets a break.

Customer stories
What Our Customers Say
Mike R.Homeowner, Baldwin
We had three estimates for a metal roof and Roof Repaire Freeport was the only one that got on the roof and measured instead of just eyeballing it from the driveway. Crew showed up when they said, tore off the old shingles, and had the new standing seam roof on in three days. Two years later, no leaks, no issues. The attic is noticeably cooler in summer.
Jennifer L.Homeowner, Merrick
After the nor'easter in 2024 tore shingles off our roof, we decided to go metal instead of replacing with asphalt again. The crew was professional, cleaned up every nail, and walked us through the whole process. Our insurance covered part of it. The new roof looks great and we don't worry about storms anymore.
Dave K.Property Manager, Freeport
We manage several commercial buildings in Freeport and have used Roof Repaire for metal roof installation on two of them. They work around our tenants, keep the site safe, and finish on schedule. The metal roofs have held up through two winters with no problems. They're our go-to roofing contractor now.
How much does metal roof installation cost in Freeport NY?
Most residential metal roof installations in Freeport run $12,000 to $28,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and panel type. A 1,200-square-foot ranch with a simple gable might come in around $12,000 to $16,000. A 2,000-square-foot colonial with valleys and dormers runs $20,000 to $28,000. Standing seam costs more than corrugated, and tear-off adds $2,000 to $5,000. We give you a firm written price after inspecting the roof.
How long does metal roof installation take in Freeport?
Most homes are done in two to four days once materials arrive. A simple ranch takes two days. A two-story colonial with multiple roof planes takes three to four.
