Roofers in Southampton

This page lists roofing companies based in the Town of Southampton, Suffolk County, with addresses in Southampton, East Quogue and Quogue. Chapter 143 of the town code requires a town home improvement license, and an unlicensed contractor cannot collect a deposit or file a lien on work in the town. Town noise rules allow construction from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends, while Southampton Village bans it on Sundays.

The deposit is where Southampton’s rules bite. Chapter 143 of the town code says an unlicensed home improvement contractor “shall not collect any fee, deposit, payment, money, or any other form of consideration” for home improvement work in the town, and has no standing to record a lien. The town’s building permit application also has a line for the contractor’s town license number. Ask any roofer on this page for that number. Then ask the town whether it is current.

A town license before the first payment

Even a licensed contractor needs a written home improvement contract before collecting more than $500, under the same section. The license itself comes from the Licensing Review Board in the Department of Land Management at 116 Hampton Road, 631-702-1807.

The application, revised in April 2025, has its own demands. A contractor must list the Town of Southampton as certificate holder on a liability policy of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, and must show workers’ compensation coverage or a state exemption form. The board is to get at least 15 days’ written notice if that policy is cancelled or changed.

The town license reaches into some villages too. Westhampton Beach’s Chapter 75 says a license issued under the town’s Chapter 143 serves as the village license, and Southampton Village’s contractor chapter points to the town’s licensing law. Over in Sag Harbor, the village building permit form asks which body issued the contractor’s license, with Southampton, East Hampton and Suffolk as the choices.

Suffolk County licenses home improvement contractors as well, and its lookup shows complaints. Our Suffolk license guide walks through that search. If something goes wrong with an unlicensed crew, the town’s FAQ says Public Safety takes the complaint, by sworn written statement to a code enforcement officer, and charges can go to Town Justice Court.

Weekend hours in the hamlets and the village

Section 235-4 of the town noise code lists construction between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday among its exceptions, provided the work meets the rest of the chapter. Breaking the noise chapter can bring a fine of up to $1,000, and $2,500 to $10,000 for a third or later offense within 18 months. Those are the rules for Hampton Bays, Bridgehampton, Water Mill, East Quogue and the other hamlets outside the villages.

Southampton Village is stricter. Its nuisance code limits construction work and the deliveries that go with it to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, and bans both on Sundays and on federal and state holidays. Necessary emergency repairs are outside that definition, which matters after a storm opens a roof on a Saturday night. The village board also held a hearing on a local law that would add Saturdays to the ban starting in January 2027, and 27east reported on July 14, 2026 that the board had yet to approve it.

Whether the job needs a permit at all is a separate question, and the answer changes with the house’s age and the village line. The Southampton roofing permit guide has it.

Southampton, East Quogue and Quogue addresses

The October 2026 snapshot has nine roofing companies with an address in the town. Five are in Southampton, three in East Quogue and one in Quogue. Roofing is marked on every card, siding on two and chimney work on one. A Southampton mailing address does not tell you whether the shop sits inside the village or out in the town. The same goes for your house. Check the line before you pick a permit desk.

Older houses here often carry slate or cedar. Material choices, costs and lifespans are on the slate roof page and the cedar roof page, and chimney flashing work is on the chimney repair page.
