R&M Roofers LLC has been providing reliable roofing services in Hempstead for over a decade. We’re not the biggest roofing company on Long Island, but we’re the one your neighbors call when they need honest work at fair prices. From Garden City to Uniondale, we’ve fixed thousands of roofs and helped families stay dry during storms.
When Hurricane Sandy hit Hempstead back in 2012, we spent three weeks straight helping neighbors fix their damaged roofs. That storm taught us something important – people need a roofing company they can actually count on when things go wrong. We’ve been that company for Hempstead families ever since.
Last February, Mrs. Johnson from Peninsula Boulevard called us at 6 AM during that ice storm. Water was dripping into her kitchen, and she was terrified her ceiling would collapse. We had a crew there within two hours, even though the roads were terrible.
That’s what emergency roof repair really means – showing up when other companies won’t. We keep emergency supplies in our trucks year-round because Hempstead weather doesn’t wait for convenient times. Ice dams, fallen branches, wind damage – we’ve seen it all, and we can fix it fast.
We trace every drop back to its source and fix it right the first time. No band-aid solutions that fail after the next storm.
Our roof repair process starts with finding the real problem, not just the obvious one. Water has a sneaky way of traveling through your roof before it shows up as a leak.
Some roofs just can’t be patched anymore. We had a customer on Front Street whose 30-year shingles were literally dissolving after Hurricane Irene. The insurance adjuster took one look and said “total replacement.”
Roof replacement sounds scary and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. We handle everything – permits, inspections, cleanup, even working with your insurance company. Most of our roof replacement projects in Hempstead take 2-3 days, depending on the size of your house.
We use GAF and CertainTeed shingles because they hold up to Long Island weather. The salt air here is tough on roofs, so we always recommend architectural shingles over basic three-tab. They last longer and look better, especially on the colonial and cape homes common in Hempstead.
The best part about a new roof is the peace of mind. No more wondering if this will be the storm that finally causes problems. No more moving buckets around your house when it rains. Just a solid roof over your family’s head for the next 25 years.
Gutter installation isn’t just hanging metal channels from your roof. It’s about calculating water flow, determining proper pitch, and making sure downspouts direct water away from your house. We see a lot of DIY gutter jobs that looked fine until the first real storm.
Our gutter services include cleaning, repair, and full replacement. We also install gutter guards – the good ones, not the cheap screens that clog up with pine needles. K-Guard and LeafFilter systems actually work because they’re designed for heavy Long Island rain.
Or just call us for regular maintenance. It’s cheaper than fixing water damage later.
Most people don’t think about their gutters until they stop working. We recommend checking them twice a year – once after the leaves fall, and once after winter storms.
Your home’s cladding – siding, shingles, or stone – is its first line of defense against weather. It’s also what people see when they drive by. We’ve helped hundreds of Hempstead families update their home’s look while making it more weather-resistant.
Vinyl siding is popular here because it handles salt air better than wood. James Hardie fiber cement is another great choice – it looks like wood but won’t rot, warp, or need painting every few years. We install both, along with cedar shingles for that classic Long Island look.
Storm damage to siding happens fast but isn’t always obvious. Hail can crack vinyl, wind can loosen boards, and falling branches can dent or puncture your home’s exterior.
We do free storm damage inspections because small problems become big problems if you wait.
Skylights get a bad reputation because so many leak. The truth is, most skylight problems come from poor installation, not bad skylights. We’ve replaced dozens of leaky skylights that were installed by general contractors who didn’t understand roof dynamics.
Proper skylight installation starts with the right placement. Not every room should have a skylight, and not every spot on your roof can support one safely. We consider roof pitch, rafter location, and weather patterns before cutting any holes in your roof.
Our skylight services include new installation, replacement, and repair. We work with Velux, Andersen, and Sun-Tek skylights – brands that have proven themselves in Long Island weather.
We also install solar-powered blinds and rain sensors that automatically close your skylights during storms.
Siding installation looks simple from the ground, but there’s a lot of technique involved in making it last. We see houses all over Hempstead where previous contractors cut corners – loose boards, gaps around windows, missing vapor barriers.
Good siding installation starts with proper house wrap and flashing. Every window, door, and penetration needs to be sealed correctly, or you’ll have moisture problems inside your walls. We take photos of our work at each step so you can see we’re doing it right.
We install vinyl, fiber cement, cedar, and composite siding. Each material has different requirements for fastening, expansion gaps, and ventilation
What works for vinyl doesn’t work for Hardie board, and mixing up the techniques leads to premature failure.
Worried your roof might be due for a charge ?
Our team highlights the most common warning signs that it’s time for a residential roof replacement
Roofs naturally wear down over time; if yours is over 15–20 years old, it may be time for an inspection or replacement.
Cracked, missing, or curled shingles are warning signs that your roof’s integrity is compromised and needs professional repair.
If you notice water stains or drips inside your home, it’s a clear sign your roof needs immediate attention to prevent further damage.
A sagging roof often indicates structural issues or trapped moisture and should be inspected immediately to prevent serious damage.
A sudden increase in energy costs may mean your roof isn’t insulating properly, allowing heat or cool air to escape.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs—especially after a major storm—it’s time to schedule a professional roof inspection. At
R & M Roofers LLC, we specialize in residential roof repair and replacement for homes across Hempstead and Long Island, NY. Replacing your roof before small issues turn into major problems helps protect your property, improve energy efficiency, and boost long-term home value.
