Roofers in Brookhaven

This page lists roofing companies with a shop in the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, from Stony Brook and Port Jefferson to Medford, Shirley, and Mastic. Suffolk County licenses the roofer, not the town. A house in a village such as Patchogue or Bellport gets its permit from the village. Other houses start with the Building Division in Farmingville.

A roof in Stony Brook and a roof in Shirley can both be Brookhaven on the paperwork, and they wear out for different reasons. One may sit in a historic district, where the material has to be settled before anyone orders shingles. The other faces the bay. When the town is the one that issues the permit, both start at Town Hall in Farmingville.

Stony Brook and Shirley are not the same roof

On the north shore, the town’s historic-district list includes Stony Brook and the Setaukets, and Miller Place and Mount Sinai as well. On the south shore it includes Center Moriches and Old Mastic. If the house is a landmark, or it is inside one of those districts, the material question comes before the price. Houses near a district, not only inside it, can be pulled in too. That rule is written out on our Brookhaven roofing permit page, which also quotes the town handbook on roof color and on repairing slate or metal instead of swapping it. A slate roof that still has life left is the subject of the slate page.

Shirley and Mastic are the other job. A quote there should name the shingle’s wind rating and the metal used for flashing and drip edge. Salt air and nor’easter wind are the reason, and the published figures stay on the lifespan guide and the asphalt shingle page rather than being copied here.

Snow is the inland problem, and it is not the same storm as on the bay. In the February 8 to 9, 2013 blizzard, the National Weather Service recorded 30.9 inches at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, the lab’s biggest single storm, with gusts of 45 to 75 mph. The same write-up says 18 to 34 inches fell away from the immediate south shore, enough to collapse parts of some roofs, houses and sheds. A Medford roof and a Shirley roof did not see the same load. After a heavy snow, a ceiling stain is usually an ice dam or lifted flashing. The ice dam guide covers removal. If water is coming in now, start with emergency roof repair.

Farmingville, unless the house is in a village

The permit guide walks through Chapter 16 line by line. The short version: work that falls under the state code needs a permit, the repair exemption does not mention roofing, and there is still no one-sentence answer for a full reroof. The phone number, how long a permit lasts, the paperwork and the fine are on that permit guide. Call before the crew schedules the tear-off.

Eight incorporated villages sit inside the town. Patchogue and Port Jefferson are two of them, and both show up as shop addresses on the cards below. A shop in the village is still a Brookhaven listing here, because that is the town the village is in. The permit for a house inside the village comes from the village. Bellport is the clear example: its building department lists new roof sheathing as work that needs a village permit, and it lists replacing half or more of the windows on a structure. Siding is not mentioned. If you are in Bellport, start with the village, not with Farmingville.

Suffolk, not the town, is who licenses the roofer. County law covers roofing and siding, and skipping the license is a misdemeanor. The lookup shows complaints too. How to search it is written up in the Suffolk license guide.

Crews have a clock that is separate from the permit. Brookhaven’s noise code bars construction equipment from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays, and all day on weekends and legal holidays, unless the work is an emergency or the town has granted a special variance. Villages can set another clock.

In this directory’s October 2026 snapshot, roofing is marked on every company with a Brookhaven location. Siding is on three of those cards and chimney work on two, so a siding-only or chimney-only search looks short. The shops are in Stony Brook, Port Jefferson, Port Jefferson Station, Patchogue, Medford, Yaphank, Ridge, the hamlet of Brookhaven, Shirley and Mastic.
