About us
A rock-solid company built on integrity
Peter LaRocco has spent more than 30 years on Long Island roofs. LaRocco Roofing & Siding is the family-run company he runs today, out of Bay Shore, New York, working across Long Island (Nassau County and Suffolk County) and Queens, NY.
Our story
We got tired of cleaning up after other people's roofs
Most of the failures we find were installed by somebody else, in a hurry, a few years ago. Underlayment that stops short of the eave. Step flashing replaced with a tube of caulk. Soffit vents packed solid with insulation so the attic can't breathe. New shingles laid straight over two old layers because the tear-off was where the profit was.
None of that shows up on the day the job is finished. It shows up four winters later, on somebody's ceiling.
Peter LaRocco created LaRocco Roofing & Siding to be the other kind of contractor, the one who does the boring parts right because those are the parts that decide whether a roof makes it fifty years or thirty-five. We are still small enough that the owner is on the job, and we intend to stay that way.

Why LaRocco
What we do differently
Roofing has a reputation problem, and it was earned. This is how we work instead.
Our crew, not day labor
We don't sub out residential roofing to whoever answered the phone that morning. Same trained crew, same standards, every job.
Written quotes that hold
The price on your proposal is the price on your invoice unless you approve a change in writing.
Built for Long Island weather
Ice-and-water shield at the eaves, proper ridge and soffit ventilation, and fastening patterns specified for coastal wind exposure.
Insurance claims handled
Storm damage? We document it properly, meet your adjuster on the roof and speak their language.
Left cleaner than we found it
Rolling magnets over the lawn and driveway, dumpster hauled, landscaping protected. Your neighbors shouldn't be able to tell we were there.

Our process
How a job runs, start to finish
The same five steps on every job, whether it's a cracked pipe boot or a full tear-off.
Free on-site inspection
We walk the roof and photograph what we find, then go through the pictures with you. You see exactly what we see, including the parts of your roof you can't get to.
A written, itemized quote
One clear number, broken down by material and labor. No pressure, no vanishing discount that expires tonight, no surprise change orders halfway through.
Materials and scheduling
We order the material and give you a firm start date and a realistic finish date for the weather we're working in.
Installation by our own crew
Property gets tarped and protected before a single shingle comes off. Most residential roofs are torn off and re-roofed in one to two days.
Clean-up and final walkthrough
Magnet sweep for nails, debris hauled away, then we walk it with you before we ask for final payment and hand over your warranty paperwork.
