Roofers in Huntington

This page lists roofing companies based in the Town of Huntington, Suffolk County, in Huntington and Huntington Station. Suffolk County licenses them. Town Code Section 133-1.I makes a home improvement contractor remove the waste from the job, so tear-off debris cannot go to the curb. A roll-off on the job has to come from a hauler licensed by the Town Clerk, with a Highway Department permit if it sits on the road.

Two days into a tear-off in Huntington Station, the old shingles are piled by the driveway and the homeowner is eyeing bulk day. The town already answered that one on its own website. Town Code Section 133-1.I makes home improvement contractors remove the waste their work generates and dispose of it themselves. None of it goes out for curbside collection.

Whose job the old roof is

The curbside rules page goes further than the bulk page. The contractor removes the waste at its own expense, it says, and that cost may be passed through to the homeowner in the construction or home improvement contract. So disposal is the roofer’s job, and it can still land on your bill. If a quote has no disposal or dumpster line, ask before you sign: is hauling included, and who supplies the container?

Bulk day is for your own projects. A household can put out up to four bulk items on the second garbage day of the week, and that can include construction debris from a do-it-yourself job: bagged or bundled under 50 pounds, nails pulled or flattened, large panels cut in half. Sheetrock, plaster, insulation, brick, mortar and concrete are prohibited either way. Neither page names roofing shingles.

If you plan to strip a small shed roof yourself, call the Sanitation Hotline on the 2026 calendar, (631) 351-3186, before you bag anything. The same calendar points Huntington residents to the Smithtown landfill at 85 Old Northport Road in Kings Park, which takes construction and demolition debris with ID. No commercial vehicles, and fees may apply.

The town Recycling Center, at 641 New York Avenue in Huntington, is open Tuesday through Saturday for recyclables, paint and household hazardous waste. Shingles and construction debris are not on its accepted list, so leave it out of your tear-off plans.

Roll-offs and the Town Clerk’s hauler license

Most reroofs end with a roll-off in the driveway. The 2026 trash and recycling calendar says Section 117-2 of the town code requires those containers, and the trucks that drop them off and pick them up, to be licensed every year by the Town Clerk, with the current year’s permits fixed on. Hiring an unlicensed waste hauler breaks the town code and can bring a fine. That line is aimed at you as much as at the roofer.

The town posts a 2026 list of licensed solid waste haulers. Getting on it takes public liability and property damage coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, auto liability at the same minimum, disability benefits and workers’ compensation. The town is plain about what the list is not. It shows who completed licensing. It does not endorse or guarantee anyone’s work, and it does not separate commercial trash carters from roll-off companies. If your roofer subcontracts the dumpster, get the hauler’s name and find it on the list.

Park the container on the road instead of the driveway and you need a Highway Department permit too, the calendar says, with some safety restrictions attached. The Highway Department handles town roads. A house on a county or state road deals with Suffolk County DPW or the state DOT. The Highway Operations Center is (631) 499-0444, and the main office is at 30 Rofay Drive.

Building permits are their own question. In-kind reroofs, structural changes, fees, Saturday work and the historic districts all live on the Huntington permit guide, and none of it changes who hauls the debris.

Snow totals from Fort Salonga to Centerport

The National Weather Service page for the February 22 and 23, 2026 blizzard has five reports from this stretch of the north shore. A CoCoRaHS observer 1.5 miles south-southeast of Fort Salonga measured 27.2 inches. A public report 1 mile southeast of East Northport gave 21.0 inches, and a trained spotter 1 mile east-northeast of Commack gave 19.0. A co-op observer 1 mile south of Centerport recorded 16.0 inches, and a spotter 1 mile south-southeast of Northport recorded 15.0.

Huntington village, Huntington Station, Dix Hills and Melville have no figure on the page. The weather service places each reading by distance from a named place, and a mile or so can cross a town line, so treat these as nearby rather than inside the town.

Top to bottom, that is a spread of 12.2 inches. A roof near Fort Salonga and a roof near Northport did not carry the same snow that week. Packed gutters and ice at the eaves follow a storm like that. The ice dam guide covers how they form and how to deal with one, and clearing the gutters before winter is on the gutter page.

Checking the company before the tear-off starts

The Town of Huntington does not license roofers. Suffolk County does, and its online lookup shows license status next to complaints. The Suffolk license guide walks through the steps. Run that search before anyone climbs a ladder, and check the hauler list for whoever brings the dumpster.

The October 2026 cards based in this town cover three companies, in Huntington and Huntington Station. All three are marked for roofing, and two for siding as well. Northport, Asharoken, Huntington Bay and Lloyd Harbor are incorporated villages, and the town’s own collection page says villages sit outside its Refuse Collection District. Village households should ask village hall about curbside rules and street permits.
