Roofing

Roofing built for coastal exposure

On Long Island, a roof is not simply a covering.
It is the primary defense against wind, moisture intrusion, thermal movement, and long-term structural stress.

When a roofing system fails, the damage rarely stays confined to the roof.
Water migrates into insulation, framing, drywall, and interior finishes.

What begins as a small leak often becomes a multi-layer repair.

United Patriot Contracting installs roofing systems as part of the building envelope, not as a surface replacement.

Failure rarely begins with shingles

Most roofing problems originate beneath the visible layer.
Underlayment selection, flashing details, ventilation strategy, and fastening patterns determine system longevity.

Improper flashing allows water entry.
Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture, accelerating material breakdown.

Incorrect fastening introduces movement vulnerability.
Wind uplift then exploits weak points.

A roofing system is only as strong as its hidden details.

CertainTeed systems engineered for longevity

Material selection defines baseline performance.
United Patriot Contracting installs CertainTeed® roofing systems chosen for durability and warranty protection.

CertainTeed shingles are engineered for weather resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term surface integrity.
Depending on product line, manufacturer warranties extend up to 50 years.

This is not marketing language.
It reflects material engineering designed for environmental stress.

But materials alone do not guarantee outcomes.

Installation precision determines performance.

Installation details that prevent recurring problems

Roofing errors are often invisible at completion.
Problems emerge only after seasonal cycles apply stress.

Flashing transitions must control water movement.
Valleys, penetrations, drip edges, and step flashing are functional water management components.

Ventilation must regulate heat and moisture.
Improper airflow shortens roof life and compromises structural elements.

United Patriot Contracting follows a structured installation sequence designed to eliminate these risks.

Each component is integrated to function as a system.

Not as isolated parts.

Roofing must integrate with the entire exterior

A roof interacts with siding, gutters, fascia, soffits, and insulation systems.
Breakdowns in one layer often expose vulnerabilities in others.

Water intrusion paths are rarely linear.
Moisture migrates along framing, penetrations, and transitions.

United Patriot Contracting evaluates envelope conditions before installation begins.
Corrections are made where required to protect system integrity.

Warranty protection beyond materials

CertainTeed warranties cover product performance.
They do not cover installation quality.

For that reason, every roofing project includes a written 2-year workmanship warranty.

The installation itself is covered.

Fastening patterns, flashing details, alignment, and system integration.

Protection applies to the work you actually depend on.

Performance measured over decades

A properly installed roofing system remains unnoticed.
No leaks, no staining, no unexplained moisture, no premature deterioration.

Failure announces itself early.
Curling, lifting, granule loss, staining, and infiltration signal breakdown.

United Patriot Contracting installs roofing systems designed for long-term stability under Long Island conditions.

If your roof is approaching replacement age or showing early warning signs, request a walkthrough.
