Listed here are roofing companies with an address in the Town of Riverhead, Suffolk County. In the October 2026 snapshot all four are in Riverhead, ZIP 11901, and roofing is tagged on each. Suffolk County licenses them. The county's list shows no incorporated villages in the town, so one town Building Department handles every address. Reroofing rules are on the Riverhead permit guide.

The morning after a big storm, a Riverhead homeowner staring up at a torn gutter has one fewer call to make than most of Suffolk. No village hall to check first.
Suffolk County’s list of towns and villages names no incorporated villages inside the Town of Riverhead. In Islip or Brookhaven, a homeowner first has to work out whether the house sits in a village with its own permit desk. In Riverhead, every address goes to the same office: 4 West Second Street, 631-727-3200, extension 213.
What that office wants for a roof job is on our Riverhead permit guide. The short version: the covering and the plywood under it get treated differently, so read the guide before you sign a contract that includes decking.
The license check belongs to the county, not the town. Nothing we read on the town’s Building Department pages adds a roofing license of its own. Our county license lookup steps show how to search, and each card below carries a license line.
The National Weather Service summary of the February 22 and 23, 2026 blizzard has two entries from around Riverhead worth a look. An NWS employee measured 20.2 inches of snow 3 miles west-northwest of Riverhead. A citizen weather station listed as Baiting Hollow logged a 68 mph gust late in the morning of the 23rd.
After a storm like that, walk the yard. Look for loose shingles on the lawn and any gutter pulling away from the fascia. A leak that is still dripping belongs on the storm leak page. If an adjuster is coming, read the insurance claim guide before the visit. Ice at the eaves after a thaw is its own problem, explained in how ice dams form.
Cleaning before winter lives under gutter cleaning, and replacement on the gutter page. Shingle wind ratings are listed with the asphalt shingle details.
In the October 2026 snapshot, four roofing companies list an address in the Town of Riverhead, all four in Riverhead itself, ZIP 11901. Every card is tagged for roofing. None is tagged for siding or chimney work in our data, which reflects how we filed them, not what each company will quote.
Before choosing, get at least two written quotes that break out the tear-off, the decking allowance and the underlayment as separate lines. Typical Long Island price ranges, each from a named contractor’s own page, are on the roof replacement cost guide. How we check a company before it appears here is on how we check contractors.

The National Weather Service storm summary for February 22 and 23, 2026 lists 20.2 inches of snow 3 miles west-northwest of Riverhead, from an NWS employee, and a 68 mph gust at Baiting Hollow from a citizen weather station. Check for lifted or missing shingles, then for gutters pulled loose. For a leak that is active, see urgent leak repairs.
The Building Department will not answer that. Its FAQ sends property tax questions to the Assessor's Office, at 631-727-3200, extension 255. Ask before the work if the number matters to you.
Suffolk County. Nothing we read on the town's Building Department pages adds a separate town roofing license. Use our county license walkthrough to look a company up.
Our October 2026 data tags roofing, and only roofing, on all four Riverhead cards. It reflects how we filed them, not a full list of what each company offers. Ask on the quote form if the job includes siding or a chimney.
Usually not for the covering itself, but the decking can change that. The rule, the 2012 wording behind it and the filing steps are on the Riverhead permit guide.
