Professional Roofing Services in East Hampton Since 1990

East Hampton is the highest-end residential market on Long Island’s East End — and it is the most demanding for a roofing contractor. The Village of East Hampton maintains some of the strictest architectural standards in New York State. Cedar shake is not just preferred here; it is in many cases required to maintain the historic character of the Village. The homes range from 19th-century shingled cottages to contemporary estates worth $20M+, and every one of them deserves craftsmanship, not just coverage.

Straightline Roofing has been working in East Hampton since 1990. We understand the permitting landscape — the Village ARB, the Town of East Hampton Building Department, and the specific requirements for work in the historic district. We have replaced cedar shake roofs on some of the most architecturally significant homes in the Village, and we approach every project with the level of care those homes demand. Our cedar shake roofing work in East Hampton follows the traditional hand-split shake installation methods that architectural review panels here actually want to see.

East Hampton’s proximity to both the Atlantic Ocean (via the ocean beaches) and Gardiners Bay creates a uniquely aggressive salt-air environment. Properties in Springs, along Three Mile Harbor, and particularly on oceanfront stretches require roofing materials and fasteners specifically rated for coastal exposure. This is not something a contractor from out of the area typically thinks about — but it is something we have managed on hundreds of East Hampton homes.
