Hear From Our Clients
You’re not dealing with leaks anymore. No more buckets in the hallway when it rains. No more wondering if the next storm is going to make things worse.
Your new roof handles what Long Island throws at it. Coastal winds, salt air, winter storms – the materials are rated for it. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles hold up to 130 mph winds, which matters here more than most places.
You also stop worrying about whether your contractor is coming back. The job gets finished on schedule. The permits are handled. The cleanup is done. And if your insurance is involved, that process actually moves forward instead of stalling out while you make phone calls that don’t get returned.
Home Team Construction is a family-owned roof replacement company that’s been working in Suffolk County for over a decade. We’re licensed, insured, and local – which means we’re still here after the job is done.
We’ve handled hundreds of house roof replacements and flat roof replacements across West Bay Shore. We know what coastal weather does to roofing materials over time. We know how insurance claims work after storm damage. And we know the difference between a roof that’ll last and one that won’t.
You’re hiring people who live and work in your neighborhood. We’re not a national chain. We’re not flipping between markets. This is where we do business, and our reputation here matters.
It starts with an inspection. We come out, look at your roof, and tell you what needs to happen. If it’s storm damage and you’re filing a claim, we walk you through that process and work directly with your insurance company.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we pull the permits and schedule the work. On tear-off day, we remove everything down to the deck. That’s when we check for any underlying damage – rotted plywood, compromised structure, anything that needs addressing before the new roof goes on.
Then we install the new system. Underlayment, drip edge, shingles, flashing – everything gets done to manufacturer specs. Most residential jobs finish in one to three days depending on size and complexity. When we’re done, the site is cleaned up and the final inspection is scheduled. You get your warranty paperwork, and the job is complete.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a complete tear-off and replacement. We don’t layer over old shingles – that’s a shortcut that causes problems later. Everything comes off so we can see what we’re working with.
The new roof includes high-wind rated shingles designed for coastal conditions. In West Bay Shore, that matters. We’ve seen what Nor’easters and tropical storm remnants do to roofs that weren’t installed properly or used subpar materials. The shingles we install are engineered to resist algae growth in humid climates and hold up against salt air exposure.
We also handle everything around the roof replacement – permits, inspections, insurance paperwork if needed. If your chimney flashing needs updating or your gutters need work while we’re up there, we take care of it. You’re not coordinating multiple contractors. One crew handles the whole job, which means better quality control and faster completion.
Most roof replacements in West Bay Shore run between $8,000 and $18,000 for a typical single-family home. That’s for a complete tear-off and replacement with quality asphalt shingles.
The range depends on your roof size, pitch, and complexity. A simple gable roof costs less than a house with multiple valleys, dormers, or steep angles. Material choice matters too – architectural shingles cost more than three-tab but last longer and look better.
We give you upfront pricing after the inspection. No surprises, no “we found something” charges that weren’t discussed. You know what you’re paying before work starts.
Most residential roof replacements take one to three days from start to finish. A straightforward ranch might be done in a day. A larger two-story with complex angles might take three.
Weather can extend that timeline – we’re not working in heavy rain or high winds. But once we start, we work straight through until it’s done. Your house isn’t left exposed overnight.
The timeline also depends on whether we find underlying damage during tear-off. If the decking is rotted or the structure needs repair, that adds time. But we tell you immediately when we find it, explain what needs to happen, and give you a revised timeline before proceeding.
It depends on your policy and the extent of damage. Most homeowners insurance covers sudden storm damage – wind, hail, falling trees. It typically doesn’t cover wear and tear or roofs that failed because they were old.
We inspect the damage and document everything for your claim. We’ve worked with every major insurance company operating in Suffolk County. We know what they look for, what documentation they need, and how to present the claim so it moves forward.
If your claim gets approved, insurance usually covers the replacement cost minus your deductible. We can work with you on the deductible and handle the paperwork directly with the insurance company. That takes a lot of the stress out of the process.
You want high-wind rated architectural shingles designed for coastal conditions. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles are a solid choice – they’re rated for winds up to 130 mph and engineered to resist algae growth in humid climates.
Long Island weather is tough on roofs. You’ve got coastal winds, salt air, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and humidity in summer. Cheap shingles break down faster here than they would inland. The upfront cost difference between builder-grade and quality shingles is maybe $1,500 to $2,500, but quality shingles can last 10+ years longer.
We install what makes sense for your house and budget. But we’re honest about what holds up and what doesn’t. If you’re planning to stay in your home, spending a bit more on materials pays off.
Yes, you need a building permit for roof replacement in West Bay Shore and throughout Suffolk County. It’s not optional, and skipping it can cause problems when you sell your house or file an insurance claim later.
We handle the permit process. We pull it, schedule the required inspections, and make sure everything is done to code. That’s part of our service – you’re not making trips to the building department or figuring out what paperwork is needed.
The permit costs a few hundred dollars depending on the job size. It’s built into our quote so there are no surprise fees. And having that permit on file protects you down the road if any questions come up about the work.
If your roof is over 20 years old, has multiple leak points, or shows widespread shingle damage, you’re usually looking at replacement. Repairs make sense for isolated damage on a newer roof – a few missing shingles after a storm, one small leak, localized wear.
But if you’re patching the same areas repeatedly or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, repairs are just delaying the inevitable. You end up spending money on fixes that buy you a year or two, then paying for a full replacement anyway.
We’ll tell you honestly what makes sense after the inspection. If repairs will hold you for several more years, we’ll say so. If you’re throwing money at a roof that needs replacing, we’ll tell you that too. You make the decision – we just give you the information to make it with.
