When Your Roof Needs Help

You Don't Need a New Roof —
You Need It Fixed. Today.

There's a water stain spreading across your ceiling. Or you're cleaning up shingles in the yard after last night's storm. Or a contractor who "just happened to be in the neighborhood" told you your whole roof needs to be replaced. Whatever brought you here — take a breath. Most Long Island roofing problems are fixable. Not every drip is a disaster, and not every repair means tearing everything off.

At Roofing Time Inc, we've been repairing roofs across Suffolk County for over 35 years. Owner Tom Melillo built this company on a simple idea: fix what's broken, tell the truth about what's not, and never pressure a homeowner into work they don't need. When you call us, you get a real assessment — not a sales pitch.

We repair asphalt shingles, flat roofs, flashing, chimneys, skylights, vents, ridge caps, and valleys. If it's on your roof and it's leaking, sagging, cracked, or missing, we can fix it.

Not sure if it's just a repair or something bigger? Call us for a free inspection. If it turns out a full replacement makes more sense, we offer those too — check out our Residential Roofing services. And if you can't pinpoint where the water is coming from, our Leak Detection team specializes in tracking down the source.

Repairs We Handle

Common Roofing Problems
We Fix Every Week

If you're experiencing any of these issues, call us for a free assessment. Many repairs can be completed the same day.

Active Leaks
Ceiling stains, dripping water, wet attic insulation. We locate the source and stop the damage before it spreads to drywall and framing.
Missing & Torn Shingles
Wind damage from Nor'easters is the #1 reason we get repair calls. We match your existing shingles and restore full coverage.
Failed Flashing
Chimneys, valleys, and skylight perimeters are the usual suspects for leaks. We re-flash with corrosion-resistant materials built for coastal salt air.
Storm & Hail Damage
After a major storm, we document damage for your insurance claim and provide photo-supported estimates that adjusters take seriously.
Sagging Sections
Dips or waves in your roofline can signal rotted decking or structural issues. We open it up, replace what's failing, and restore the line.
Ridge & Valley Issues
Cracked ridge caps and worn valley metal are leak hotspots on aging Long Island roofs. Targeted repairs that restore watertight integrity.

Honest Assessment

Repair or Replace?
The Honest Answer

Not every problem needs a new roof. Here's how we decide — and we'll always tell you the truth.

Go With Repair

Repair Makes Sense

Target the problem, save money
  • ✓ Your roof is under 15 years old and in otherwise good shape
  • ✓ Damage is localized to one area (a wind-stripped section, a failed flashing)
  • ✓ You have an active leak but no widespread shingle wear
  • ✓ Chimney, skylight, or vent penetration is the issue — not the field of the roof
  • ✓ An insurance claim will cover storm-related damage

Replacement Is Smarter

When patching won't last
  • ✓ Your roof is over 20–25 years old and showing widespread wear
  • ✓ Multiple leaks in multiple areas (not just one spot)
  • ✓ Shingles are curling, cracking, or losing granules across the entire roof
  • ✓ Sagging that indicates decking rot across large sections
  • ✓ You've already had 2+ repairs in the past few years

Long Island roof repair after storm damage

Why Long Island Roofs Break Down

Suffolk County Weather Is
Brutal On Your Roof

Most of the repairs we handle trace back to the specific weather patterns of the South Shore. Here's what's actually causing your problem:

  • Nor'easter Winds
    The leading cause of shingle loss on Long Island. Gusts regularly exceed 60 mph, lifting old or improperly nailed shingles right off your roof.
  • Ice Dam Damage
    When snow melts and refreezes at your eaves, water backs up under shingles and leaks into your ceiling — a classic Suffolk County winter problem.
  • Salt Air Corrosion
    If you're near the bay or ocean, cheap galvanized flashing rusts out fast. Rusted flashing is behind a huge share of the leaks we find.
  • Tree Impact Damage
    Long Island's mature trees are beautiful — until a branch comes through your roof during a storm. We handle emergency tarping and full repairs.

Common Questions

Roof Repair FAQs

The questions we hear most from Long Island homeowners dealing with a roof problem.

Usually yes — if the damage was caused by a covered event like wind, hail, or a falling tree. Wear and tear from age is almost never covered. We document all damage with photos and a written report that your insurance adjuster can use to process your claim. We've worked with every major insurer on Long Island and know what they need to approve a payout.
Minor repairs (a few missing shingles, a small flashing fix) typically run $350–$800. Larger repairs involving decking replacement, extensive flashing, or multiple areas can range $800–$3,000. We always give a firm written quote after inspecting — never a phone guess.
For active leaks and storm damage, we respond 24/7 across Suffolk County. Most emergency calls get a same-day visit or tarp to stop further damage. Call (631) 316-9230 and we'll dispatch as fast as possible.
We do our best to match. On newer roofs, matching is usually perfect. On older roofs, natural weathering means a repair may be slightly visible up close — but from the street, you won't notice. If matching is critical to you, we'll tell you up front whether it's realistic.
Yes. Every repair comes with a written workmanship warranty. If a repair we made fails due to our installation, we come back and fix it at no charge. Manufacturer material warranties (from GAF, Owens Corning, etc.) apply on top of that.
Absolutely. We repair EPDM rubber, modified bitumen, and built-up flat roof systems across Long Island. Flat roof leaks are usually traced to seam failures, flashing, or drain issues — all fixable without replacing the whole membrane.
