Summit Roofing | Roofing Services in Huntington, NY 11743

Living and working here, I see firsthand how our coastal climate and winter freeze-thaw cycles can damage roof underlayment and create ice dams. For underlayment, we use ice and water shield—a self-adhering membrane—in critical areas like eaves and valleys during a full tear-off to prevent water intrusion. To combat ice dams, we ensure proper attic ventilation and insulation to keep the roof deck cold, and we install high-quality underlayment that provides a secondary water barrier if ice does form. Addressing these issues correctly from the start prevents the leaks and interior damage many local homes experience.

As the owner, I manage the entire process personally. It begins with a detailed on-site inspection where we discuss material options and your goals. On project day, we start by safely removing all old roofing materials down to the deck. We then inspect and repair the decking, install new synthetic underlayment for superior protection, and install your chosen high-quality shingles or metal roofing with precision. I am on-site daily to oversee the crew and ensure quality. The job concludes with a thorough cleanup and a final walk-through with you to guarantee your satisfaction before we consider the project complete.

EPDM is an excellent, durable choice for the flat and low-slope roofs common in our area. Its rubber membrane is highly resistant to the temperature swings, UV exposure, and ponding water we experience. It provides a seamless, watertight layer that, when professionally installed, can last for decades with minimal maintenance. As specialists, we ensure the system is fully adhered or mechanically fastened correctly and that all flashings are integrated perfectly to prevent leaks. For commercial properties or residential additions with flat roofs, EPDM from Summit Roofing offers a reliable, long-term solution.
