Service Areas
Based in Bellport, NY — on the road daily across the South Shore and Central Suffolk. Led by owner Tom Melillo with over 35 years protecting Long Island homes from salt air, nor'easters, and everything in between.
Meet Your Local Roofer
Roofing Time Inc is a 10-person, Bellport-based residential roofing contractor serving 14 Suffolk County towns across Long Island's South Shore and Central Suffolk. Led by owner Tom Melillo, who has spent over 35 years learning exactly how Suffolk County weather patterns chew through a roof — and how to build one that fights back.
From the historic streets of Patchogue to the waterfront homes of Blue Point and Mastic Beach, we know the wind loads, the salt exposure, and the specific shingle systems that actually perform here. If you live on the South Shore or in central Suffolk, odds are one of our trucks is within a few miles of your driveway right now.
The Long Island Factor
A roof three blocks from the Great South Bay fights an entirely different war than one sitting inland off the LIE. We build each system around what your specific neighborhood actually throws at it.
Homes in Bayport, Blue Point, Shirley, Mastic Beach and Center Moriches sit in the direct line of fire for salt spray, nor'easter gusts, and hurricane-season wind uplift. Standard 3-tab shingles simply don't last here.
We install algae-resistant architectural shingles rated for 130+ MPH winds, with upgraded underlayments and reinforced ridge and eave details that actually hold when the bay kicks up.
Medford, Yaphank, Holtsville and Holbrook get the full swing of Long Island's four seasons without the bay's moderating effect. That means heavy ice dam loads in January and brutal attic temperatures come July.
Our inland builds focus on balanced attic ventilation, proper ice-and-water shield coverage at the eaves, and high-reflectance shingle options that keep cooling bills down through the summer heat.
Know The Warning Signs
Suffolk County weather is unforgiving. Catching these warning signs early is the difference between a simple repair and a full tear-off. If any of these sound familiar, call us for a free professional assessment.
Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20–25 years on Long Island. If yours is pushing that window, start planning for replacement before a leak forces your hand.
Curling, cracking, or wind-lifted shingles mean your roof's weather seal is already compromised. Isolated patches can be repaired — widespread damage usually can't.
Ceiling stains, wall discoloration, or attic moisture are urgent. One-off leaks may be fixable, but recurring water intrusion signals deeper failure.
Piles of shingle granules collecting in your downspouts means the protective surface is wearing through. Bald spots on shingles follow fast.
A sagging roofline is a structural red flag — usually rotted decking or failed rafters. This needs immediate professional evaluation, not a patch.
If you can see sunlight through the roof boards from inside your attic, water is already getting in the same way. Replacement is almost always required.
When the plywood under your shingles goes soft, no shingle on earth will stay sealed. Full tear-off and deck replacement is the only lasting fix.
A failing roof and poor attic ventilation push cooling and heating costs through the... well, roof. A modern system usually pays part of itself back.
