Given that even the highest quality installation could experience unexpected problems, be sure to select a roofing contractor carrying complete insurance: general liability insurance with adequate coverage for your property, NYS-mandated workers' compensation, and disability benefits protection for all workers on site. Make sure to obtain official documentation from the insurance provider, not copies or screenshots, and check active coverage periods and occurrence-based coverage. Don't forget to confirm Additional Insured provisions and Primary/Noncontributory coverage listing both you and your property.
Find out how the contractor manages claim disputes and requires carriers to waive subrogation when necessary. Confirm completed-operations coverage for post-completion matters. Compare policy numbers against the New York State Workers' Compensation Board database. Request written notice for any cancellations while work is ongoing. Record everything in your contract, including certificates, endorsements, and insurer contact information.
Weather-Resistant Materials for Long Island Conditions
Despite Long Island's challenging mix of salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and powerful nor'easter winds, the correct roofing materials can provide decades of reliable performance when properly selected and installed. You'll require materials built for coastal exposure and verified to comply with New York State and local code.
Opt for Class 4 impact resistant shingles to protect against hail and windborne debris, matched with corrosion-proof or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners. Specify premium roofing materials for superior expansion-contraction tolerance. Install coastal grade sealants on all penetrations and perimeters to resist salt crystallization and UV deterioration. Place ice and water barrier from the lower edge to no less than 24 inches inside the warm wall. Add a mechanically attached, high-wind underlayment, securely sealed seams, and ridge vents coordinated with soffit intake. Verify manufacturer wind warranties reaching 130-150 mph.
