Roofing, Siding & Masonry in Westhampton Beach, NY
The envelope is failing and you want it fixed properly rather than patched again. Khella has built in Suffolk County since 2006 and files Westhampton Beach work with Incorporated Village of Westhampton Beach Building Department. About an hour and twenty minutes east.
Roofing and siding in Westhampton Beach
Full ocean exposure. Cedar weathering to grey is the look, and it only works if the rain screen and fasteners are specified correctly.
The envelope that keeps salt air and driven rain out: architectural and standing-seam roofing, cedar and fibre-cement siding, windows, and the masonry that meets the ground.
We correct the ventilation and the flashing while the roof is off, because those are what actually fail, and nobody re-opens a roof to fix them later.
- Permit filed with Incorporated Village of Westhampton Beach Building Department, and jurisdiction confirmed before drawings

- Cedar, vinyl and fibre-cement siding, installed over a proper rain screen
- Full flashing replacement — step, kick-out, chimney and valley
- Ridge and soffit ventilation corrected as part of the re-roof
- Windows, doors and exterior trim
- Masonry: stoops, patios, retaining walls and paver drives
- Flood map and elevation certificate pulled at estimate stage for Westhampton Beach parcels
What the Westhampton Beach
weather does
to an envelope.
Exposure decides specification. Salt, wind and driven rain are not the same in every part of the Island, and a roof detail that lasts thirty years inland can fail in eight on the water.
- What the envelope is up against
Oceanfront and Dune Road property sits in V zone with coastal erosion review. The village centre is behind that but still mapped in places.
- Roofs and cladding around here
Village houses near Main Street, oceanfront and dune-front modern construction, and traditional shingled summer houses in between.
- What the estimate must allow for
Dune Road construction is governed by coastal erosion hazard rules as well as flood elevation. What you may build there is a legal question long before it is a design one.

questions,
answered.
How exposed is a Westhampton Beach roof?
Full ocean exposure. Cedar weathering to grey is the look, and it only works if the rain screen and fasteners are specified correctly.
Do I need a permit to re-roof in Westhampton Beach?
In most cases yes, filed with Incorporated Village of Westhampton Beach Building Department. The village runs its own department and architectural review. Westhampton and Westhampton Dunes outside the village line are Town of Southampton or their own village, which changes everything. People are frequently surprised that a like-for-like re-roof still requires a permit.
Cedar, asphalt or standing seam?
Oceanfront and Dune Road property sits in V zone with coastal erosion review. The village centre is behind that but still mapped in places. Exposure, budget and, in some Westhampton Beach locations, review requirements narrow the choice. We will quote two options side by side and tell you what each costs over twenty years, not just this month.
How long does a re-roof take?
A straightforward house is two to four days, weather permitting. Siding runs longer, typically two to five weeks depending on size, cladding and how much rot we find once the old material is off.
What do you replace that others skip?
Flashing and ventilation. Step flashing, kick-out flashing, chimney and valley detail, and ridge and soffit ventilation. Those are what actually leak, and nobody re-opens a roof later to correct them.
