Proper NYS Licensing
Although roofing workmanship gets the spotlight, proper NYS licensing, insurance, and code compliance are essential safeguards for protecting your property and investment. Make sure to choose specialists who possess a valid New York State Home Improvement license and, where locally mandated, proper Town of Oyster Bay or Nassau County credentials. Be sure to ask for license numbers and confirm them with the relevant licensing authority.
Verify that the supervisor on your project matches the authorized individual on the license. Require contract validation that specifies the license numbers, work scope, and pertinent NYS Residential Code requirements.

Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
Because even the most perfect installation can face unexpected challenges, insist on working with a roofing contractor carrying complete insurance: general liability insurance with adequate coverage for your property, NYS-mandated workers' compensation, and disability insurance coverage for every person working on your roof. Always request certificates of insurance straight from the insurance company, not copies or screenshots, and check current policy dates and coverage on an occurrence basis. Be sure to validate Additional Insured provisions and Primary/Noncontributory coverage that specifically name you and your property.
Find out how the contractor handles claim disputes and mandates carriers to waive subrogation where appropriate. Validate completed-operations coverage for issues after project completion. Verify policy numbers against the New York State Workers' Compensation Board database. Require written notice for any cancellations while work is ongoing. Record everything in your contract, including insurance certificates, policy endorsements, and copyright details.
Materials That Hold Up to Long Island Weather
Despite Long Island's harsh blend of salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and strong nor'easter winds, the right roofing materials can deliver decades of steadfast performance when properly selected and installed. You'll need materials engineered for oceanfront exposure and certified to satisfy New York State and local requirements.
Choose Class 4 impact resistant shingles to protect against hail and windborne debris, combined with stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners.
