Roofers in Lindenhurst

This page lists roofing companies with a Lindenhurst address in Suffolk County. The Village of Lindenhurst runs its own Building Department at 430 South Wellwood Avenue, (631) 957-7510, so a house inside the village files there, not at Babylon Town Hall. Suffolk County licenses the roofer. South of Montauk Highway, Sandy flood damage and the village's flood rules can matter as much as the shingle.

A house in the Village of Lindenhurst can come with papers a house a mile inland never needed. A flood elevation certificate. A substantial damage determination from after Sandy. A permit for raising the whole building. The roofer pricing the job should see those before pulling out a tape measure.

The village covers about 3.8 square miles on the Great South Bay. Its annex to Suffolk County’s draft 2020 hazard mitigation plan, which dates the incorporation to 1923, describes an extensive waterfront and canal system, with marinas and marine businesses clustered south of Montauk Highway.

Village permits go through South Wellwood Avenue

Lindenhurst runs its own Building Department out of Village Hall, 430 South Wellwood Avenue, (631) 957-7510. The permits page lists office hours of Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Inspections are by appointment only, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, in a morning slot from 10 to noon or an afternoon slot from 1 to 3.

Anything submitted from December 31, 2025 onward has to meet the 2025 edition of the state Uniform Code, the page adds. The village did not write a separate building code. Chapter 49 adopts the state Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and points to Chapter 193, Article XII, for how it is enforced.

We did not find a village document that says whether swapping roof covering alone needs a permit. Call the department before the crew goes on the calendar.

The application file posted on the village site in August 2026 asks for the contractor’s name and contact details, plus one of the state workers’ compensation and disability forms, such as a C-105.2 certificate or a C-105.21 statement that the business is exempt. It also wants a survey dated within five years showing every structure on the lot.

Then the fees. A $25 filing fee that is not refunded, and a permit fee based on the estimated cost of construction: $100 for the first $1,000 and $15 for each additional $1,000.

If the roof job grows into a rear addition on a canal lot, read the wetlands line on the same application. It says a property in freshwater or saltwater wetlands needs a permit from the state Department of Environmental Conservation, with a copy filed alongside it. Houses outside the village line answer to the town instead, and that process is on the Babylon permit guide.

Sandy’s high water and the flood rules that followed

The National Weather Service office in Upton keeps a coastal flood sheet for Lindenhurst. It logs the Sandy peak at 7.7 feet NGVD at 10 p.m. on October 29, 2012, from a surge of about 6 to 7 feet that rode in on normal high tide, and says the water passed the FEMA 100 to 500 year base flood elevations.

Smaller storms are on the sheet too. Irene put 1 to 2 feet of water on South Ninth Street starting as early as 6:30 a.m. on August 28, 2011. A January 24, 2017 nor’easter left 2 to 3 feet on East Riviera Drive.

The hazard plan annex does the counting. By its tally, 1,300 homes took flood damage and 180 of them were declared substantially damaged. More than 300 homes have been elevated since. Another 41 properties were bought out and turned into open space, then went to neighboring owners under a Lot Next Door program, to be kept open for good.

The annex also says the village enforces base flood elevation plus 2 feet, past FEMA’s minimum, and that the Building Inspector doubles as its floodplain administrator. The flood damage prevention law itself is Chapter 91 of the village code, adopted May 5, 2009.

None of that changes which shingle goes on. It changes the questions. On a lifted house, ask the roofer how the crew will reach the eaves and where the dumpster will sit. If the house is in the flood zone and the roof is one line in a bigger renovation, ask the Building Inspector whether the full project brings Chapter 91 into play. We could not read the text of that chapter, so we are not quoting its cost threshold.

If a storm gets to the roof first, start with emergency roof repair and keep the paperwork straight with the insurance claim guide. Salt air and shingle life are on the lifespan guide.

The three Lindenhurst shops on this list

Three companies in this directory had a Lindenhurst address in the October 2026 snapshot, and all three are marked for roofing. One is also marked for siding and one for chimney work. If the job includes those trades, name them on the quote form.

The card tells you where the shop is. It does not tell you which building department the shop sits under, because we have not checked which side of the village line each address falls on. For Deer Park, West Babylon and Wyandanch shops, the wider Town of Babylon list is on the Babylon roofers page.

Whichever side of the line the house is on, the license check is the same. Suffolk County licenses home improvement contractors, and its online lookup shows complaints alongside license status. The Suffolk license guide walks through it. The workers’ compensation form the village asks for is a separate document from that license. Ask for both before you hand over a deposit.
