Standing seam steel and aluminum metal roofing — the longest-lasting roof you can put on a Long Island home. 40–60 year lifespan, superior storm performance, and lowest lifetime cost of any roofing material.
Metal roofing outperforms every other roofing material in Long Island's coastal environment. Where asphalt shingles are degraded by salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and nor'easter winds, metal roofing excels — resisting corrosion, shedding snow and ice naturally, and handling sustained winds up to 160 mph on standing seam systems.
Greene Group Construction installs Galvalume steel and aluminum standing seam metal roofing systems from MBCI, McElroy Metal, and other premium manufacturers. We offer hidden-fastener standing seam panels in 1.5" and 2" rib heights, and exposed-fastener corrugated metal for appropriate applications. We also install metal shingles that provide the visual appeal of traditional materials with metal's longevity.
While the upfront cost is higher than asphalt shingles, metal roofing's 40–60 year lifespan means most Long Island homeowners will never need another roof. When amortized over the lifetime of the roof, metal roofing frequently has the lowest cost of any option — with the added benefit of increased home value.
Aluminum metal roofing is the ideal choice for oceanfront and bay-front Long Island homes — it is inherently corrosion-resistant and will not rust in salt-laden air. For all other locations, Galvalume steel (aluminum-zinc alloy coating) provides excellent corrosion resistance at a lower cost than bare aluminum.
Metal roofing isn't the right choice for everyone — but for Long Island homeowners staying long-term, it delivers unmatched value
One roof for the life of most Long Island homeowners — no 20-year replacement cycle.
Standing seam panels hold up to nor'easters that lift and strip asphalt shingles.
Smooth metal surface sheds snow and ice faster, reducing ice dam formation at eaves.
Aluminum and Galvalume steel resist coastal corrosion that shortens other materials.
Reflective metal surface reduces summer cooling load — especially on sun-exposed Long Island roofs.
One metal roof vs. 2–3 asphalt roofs over 60 years — metal wins on total cost for long-term owners.
Industry-leading system for Long Island homes. Hidden fasteners eliminate potential leak points. Interlocking panels flex with thermal expansion without stress. Available in 20+ colors.
The best choice for oceanfront, bay-front, and barrier island homes on Long Island. Aluminum is inherently rust-proof — no protective coating to eventually wear through in salt air.
All the durability of metal with the visual profile of traditional shingles. Ideal for HOA-governed communities or homeowners who prefer a conventional appearance with superior performance.
