Hear From Our Clients
You stop worrying every time it rains. Your attic stays dry, your energy bills drop, and your insurance company has nothing to complain about.
That’s what happens when your roof replacement is done by licensed contractors who understand Suffolk County’s coastal conditions. Salt air corrodes cheap materials. Nor’easters rip off improperly secured shingles. Ice dams form when your attic isn’t properly ventilated.
We’ve been handling house roof replacement across Long Island for over a decade. We know what fails first in Greenport’s climate, and we build accordingly. Impact-resistant shingles. Proper flashing around chimneys and skylights. Ventilation that prevents ice dams before they start. You’re not getting the cheapest bid—you’re getting a roof that lasts 25+ years without constant repairs.
Your home value stays protected. Your family stays comfortable. And you finally stop thinking about your roof every time the forecast calls for storms.
Home Team Construction has been serving Greenport and Suffolk County for over 10 years. We’re not a national franchise or a crew that disappears after the deposit clears.
Every person on our team is a licensed, insured professional. No subcontractors. No rotating crews. When we say we’re handling your flat roof replacement or garage roof replacement, the same trained team shows up from start to finish.
Greenport has some of the oldest, most valuable homes on Long Island. Many were built before World War II, with architectural details that require careful attention during any roof work. We’ve replaced roofs on historic properties, coastal cottages, and modern builds—and we treat each one like it’s our own. Because in a village this small, our reputation is everything.
First, we inspect your roof—not from the ground, but up close. We check for hidden water damage, rotted decking, and structural issues that most homeowners never see until it’s too late. You get a detailed estimate with line-item pricing. No surprises, no upsells once we’re halfway through.
On installation day, we protect your property with tarps and magnetic sweepers to catch loose nails. We tear off the old roof down to the decking, replace any damaged wood, and install new underlayment designed for coastal weather. Then we secure every shingle properly—not with the minimum fasteners, but with the right amount for Long Island wind loads.
We handle all the details most roof replacement companies skip. Proper ventilation to prevent ice dams. Upgraded flashing around chimneys and skylights. Drip edge installation that actually keeps water away from your fascia. The job site gets cleaned daily, and we do a final walkthrough with you before we consider it complete. You’re not signing off until you’re satisfied.

Every roof replacement includes full tear-off, decking inspection and repair, ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, and architectural-grade shingles rated for coastal conditions. We’re installing materials that hold up to salt air, high winds, and the thermal cycling that happens when summer heat hits 90+ degrees and winter drops below freezing.
Greenport homes face unique challenges. You’re less than a mile from the water in most cases. That means higher wind exposure, salt corrosion on metal components, and moisture issues that accelerate rot. We account for all of it—upgraded fasteners, corrosion-resistant flashing, and proper attic ventilation that prevents condensation buildup.
You also get transparent communication throughout the process. We’re not the crew that shows up, hammers for three days, and leaves without explanation. You’ll know what’s happening, why it’s necessary, and what it costs before we start. And if we find something unexpected—rotted decking, damaged trusses, outdated ventilation—we stop and discuss it with you before adding anything to the scope.
Most roof replacements in Greenport take 2-4 days depending on size and complexity. We work efficiently, but we don’t rush. Your roof is too important to cut corners on.
For most homes in Greenport, you’re looking at $11,000 to $18,000 for a complete roof replacement with quality materials. That’s higher than some areas of Long Island, but it reflects the coastal-grade materials and proper installation your home actually needs.
The range depends on roof size, pitch, and complexity. A simple ranch with minimal valleys and penetrations costs less than a two-story colonial with multiple chimneys, skylights, and dormers. If we find rotted decking during tear-off, that adds to the cost—but we discuss it with you before proceeding.
We give you an itemized estimate upfront. You’ll see exactly what you’re paying for—materials, labor, disposal, flashing, ventilation, everything. No vague line items or surprise charges when the job’s done. And we offer 18-month interest-free financing if you need to spread out the investment.
Most residential roof replacements in Greenport take 2-4 days of active work. Weather can extend that timeline—we don’t install roofs in rain or high winds, because doing so compromises the installation.
Day one is usually tear-off and decking inspection. We remove old shingles, check for structural damage, and replace any rotted wood. Day two and three are installation—underlayment, shingles, flashing, and ventilation. Final cleanup and inspection happen on the last day.
If your roof is particularly large, steep, or complex, it might take an extra day or two. We’d rather take the time to do it right than rush and leave you with problems. You’ll get a realistic timeline during your estimate, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.
Architectural-grade asphalt shingles with impact resistance and high wind ratings are your best option for Greenport. They’re thicker than standard three-tab shingles, more resistant to wind uplift, and they handle the thermal expansion and contraction that happens in Long Island’s climate.
We typically install shingles rated for 110+ mph winds. That’s not overkill—it’s what your home needs when nor’easters roll through. We also use upgraded underlayment and additional fasteners in high-wind zones, which most roof replacement companies skip to save time.
Metal roofing is another option if you want maximum longevity. It costs more upfront but lasts 40+ years with minimal maintenance. It’s especially good for flat roof replacement or low-slope sections where water tends to pool. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each material based on your specific roof and budget.
It depends on why your roof needs replacement. If you have storm damage—missing shingles, punctures from fallen branches, wind damage—your insurance will likely cover most of the cost minus your deductible. If your roof is just old and worn out, insurance typically won’t pay.
Here’s what matters: many insurers in coastal New York are now requiring roof replacements on homes with roofs older than 20 years. If your roof is aging out, you might get a non-renewal notice or a premium increase until you replace it. That’s becoming more common in Suffolk County.
We can inspect your roof and document any storm damage for your insurance claim. We’ll work directly with your adjuster if needed, and we’ll make sure the scope of work matches what your policy covers. If you’re paying out of pocket, we offer financing options that make the investment manageable.
Yes. We handle every type of residential roof replacement—pitched roofs, flat roofs, garages, additions, everything. Flat roof replacement requires different materials and techniques than standard pitched roofs, and we’re equipped for both.
Flat roofs are common on garages, additions, and some sections of older Greenport homes. They need proper drainage, durable membrane materials, and careful flashing details to prevent leaks. We typically use EPDM rubber or TPO membranes for flat sections—both are proven to hold up in coastal climates.
Garage roof replacement is often simpler and faster than your main house, but it still needs to be done right. We use the same quality materials and installation standards whether we’re working on your garage, your home, or an outbuilding. You’re getting the same licensed crew and the same attention to detail regardless of the structure.
We stop, document it, and discuss your options before moving forward. Rotted decking or damaged framing isn’t something we can just cover up—it has to be repaired or your new roof won’t perform the way it should.
This happens more often than most homeowners expect, especially in Greenport’s coastal climate. Water intrusion from old leaks, condensation from poor ventilation, or ice dam damage can rot plywood decking and even compromise roof trusses. You won’t know it’s there until the old shingles come off.
We’ll show you exactly what we found, explain why it needs repair, and give you a price for the additional work. Most decking repairs add $500-$1,500 depending on the extent of damage. It’s not fun to hear, but it’s better to fix it now than to install a new roof over compromised structure. We’ll never move forward with repairs without your approval first.
