Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of staring at water stains after every storm. Tired of wondering if this winter’s nor’easter will be the one that finally does real damage. Tired of throwing money at temporary fixes that buy you six months of peace before the next leak shows up.
A full roof replacement means you stop reacting to weather forecasts. You stop climbing into the attic with a flashlight after heavy rain. You stop getting estimates from contractors who never call back.
What you get instead is a roof that’s stripped down to the decking, rebuilt with materials rated for coastal exposure, and installed by licensed crews who’ve been doing this work in Suffolk County for over two decades. Your energy bills drop because your attic isn’t bleeding heat in January. Your insurance company might cut your premium because you’re no longer filing claims every other year. And when the next hurricane warning goes out, you’re not scrambling to find tarps.
Home Team Construction is a family-owned roof replacement company that’s been serving Mastic and the surrounding Suffolk County area for over 20 years. Alban and his crew live here, work here, and deal with the same weather you do.
We’re not a national franchise with rotating subcontractors. Every person on your roof is licensed, insured, and trained to handle Long Island’s specific challenges—salt spray that corrodes flashing, temperature swings that crack shingles, and wind-driven rain that finds every weak point in standard installations.
You’ll find us working on flat roofs in Mastic Beach, replacing garage roofs damaged by falling branches, and handling insurance claims for homeowners who’ve been through one storm too many. We show up when we say we will, we document everything with photos, and we don’t leave until your property looks cleaner than when we arrived.
First, we inspect your roof and attic to assess the full scope of damage—not just what’s visible from the ground. You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No vague line items, no “we’ll figure it out as we go.”
Once you approve the estimate, we handle the permits and schedule the work around your life and the weather. On day one, we protect your landscaping, set up equipment, and start the tear-off. We strip everything down to the decking so we can replace any rotted wood before it becomes a bigger problem.
Next comes the underlayment, ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, and new shingles or roofing material rated for coastal conditions. We install proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and extend your roof’s lifespan. Flashing around chimneys and skylights gets replaced, not reused.
Final inspection happens with you present. We walk you through what we did, answer your questions, and make sure you’re satisfied before we pack up. You get photos of the completed work and documentation for your records or insurance company.

Your roof replacement includes complete removal of old materials, inspection and replacement of damaged decking, and installation of high-grade underlayment designed for Long Island’s humidity and temperature extremes. We’re talking about materials that won’t fail when it’s 23°F in January or 81°F in July.
Shingles are rated for wind resistance and salt air exposure—critical in Mastic where 45 hurricanes have hit Suffolk County since 1930. We install ice and water shield along eaves and valleys where nor’easters tend to force water under standard materials. Ventilation systems get upgraded to prevent the moisture buildup that shortens roof lifespan in humid climates.
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and roof penetrations is replaced with corrosion-resistant materials. Gutters and downspouts are inspected and repaired if needed, because a great roof doesn’t help if water’s pooling against your foundation. And if you’re dealing with a flat roof or garage roof, we use modified bitumen or TPO membranes that handle ponding water without deteriorating.
You also get a thorough cleanup. Magnetic sweeps pick up nails, tarps protect your landscaping, and we haul away all debris. Most homeowners in Mastic see energy cost reductions up to 25% after a proper roof replacement, and many insurance companies offer premium discounts for impact-resistant materials.
Most homeowners in Mastic pay between $8,000 and $15,000 for a complete roof replacement in 2025, though costs can range from $5,000 to $31,000 depending on your roof’s size, complexity, and the materials you choose. A simple ranch with asphalt shingles costs less than a two-story colonial with multiple valleys, skylights, and a steep pitch.
Material choice makes a big difference. Standard architectural shingles are the most affordable and last 20-25 years in Long Island’s climate. Impact-resistant shingles cost more upfront but often qualify for insurance discounts and hold up better against hail and wind damage. Metal roofing or premium materials push costs higher but can last 40-50 years with minimal maintenance.
The only way to get an accurate number is to have us inspect your roof in person. We’ll measure the square footage, assess the decking condition, identify any structural issues, and give you a written estimate that breaks down exactly what you’re paying for. No ballpark guessing, no surprise charges when we’re halfway through the job.
Most residential roof replacements in Mastic take two to four days once we start work, depending on the size of your home, weather conditions, and the complexity of your roof. A straightforward ranch with easy access might be done in two days. A larger two-story home with multiple chimneys, skylights, or steep angles could take four or five days.
Weather delays are common in Suffolk County—we won’t install roofing materials in heavy rain or high winds because it compromises the installation quality and safety. If a storm rolls through mid-project, we’ll secure everything with tarps and resume as soon as conditions allow.
The timeline from your initial call to project completion is usually two to four weeks, accounting for scheduling, permits, material delivery, and the actual installation. If you’re filing an insurance claim for storm damage, add extra time for the adjuster’s inspection and approval. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
It depends on what caused the damage and what your policy covers. Insurance typically covers roof replacement when the damage results from a sudden event like a hurricane, fallen tree, or hail storm. Gradual wear and tear from age isn’t covered—that’s considered normal maintenance.
Most policies have a deductible you’ll pay out of pocket, often $1,000 to $2,500. The insurance company covers the rest if they approve your claim. Some policies pay actual cash value, which factors in depreciation based on your roof’s age. Others pay replacement cost, which covers a new roof without depreciation deductions.
Filing a claim can be frustrating because insurance companies don’t make it easy. They’ll send an adjuster to assess the damage, and sometimes they’ll lowball the estimate or deny claims that should be covered. We’ve worked with dozens of homeowners in Mastic through the claims process—we document everything with photos, provide detailed estimates, and communicate directly with adjusters when needed. Having a licensed contractor who knows what insurance companies require makes a significant difference in getting your claim approved and paid fairly.
Roof repair makes sense when the damage is localized—a few missing shingles after a windstorm, a small leak around a chimney, or damaged flashing that’s letting water in. Repairs are faster and cheaper in the short term, and they’re the right call if your roof is relatively new and in otherwise good condition.
Roof replacement becomes necessary when the damage is widespread, the roof is near the end of its lifespan, or you’re spending money on repairs every year. Asphalt shingle roofs in New York typically last 15-20 years because of harsh winters and coastal exposure. If your roof is approaching that age and you’re seeing multiple problem areas, replacement saves you money compared to ongoing repairs that never quite solve the underlying issues.
Here’s the reality: many homeowners in Mastic patch their roofs two or three times before finally replacing them, and they end up spending more in total than if they’d replaced it earlier. We’ll be honest about whether repair or replacement makes sense for your situation. If a repair buys you five more years and fits your budget, we’ll tell you. If your roof is failing in multiple spots and repairs are just delaying the inevitable, we’ll tell you that too.
Start by looking at your roof’s age. If it’s over 15 years old and you’re seeing issues, replacement is probably the smarter move. Check your attic after a rainstorm—if you see water stains, daylight coming through the boards, or signs of moisture, that’s a red flag that goes beyond surface damage.
From the ground, look for curling or missing shingles, dark streaks that indicate granule loss, or sagging areas that suggest structural problems. If you’re noticing these issues in multiple spots across your roof, repairs won’t fix the underlying problem. One or two damaged areas might be repairable, but widespread deterioration means the whole system is failing.
The other factor is how often you’re calling for repairs. If you’re patching leaks every year or two, you’re spending money without actually solving anything. A roof replacement stops the cycle of temporary fixes and gives you 20-30 years of protection if it’s done right with quality materials.
We’ll inspect your roof and attic, show you exactly what we’re seeing, and give you an honest assessment. Some contractors push replacement when repair would work fine. Others underestimate damage to win the job with a low bid, then hit you with change orders. We’d rather tell you the truth upfront so you can make an informed decision.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Mastic because they balance cost, durability, and performance in coastal conditions. Look for shingles rated for high wind resistance and algae resistance—the humidity and salt air here accelerate deterioration on cheaper materials. Quality architectural shingles last 20-25 years and come in styles that fit most home designs.
Impact-resistant shingles cost more but hold up better against hail and wind-driven debris, which matters when you’re dealing with nor’easters and occasional hurricanes. Many insurance companies in Suffolk County offer premium discounts for Class 4 impact-resistant roofing, which can offset the higher upfront cost over time.
For flat roofs or low-slope applications like garages, modified bitumen or TPO membranes work better than shingles. These materials handle standing water without degrading and provide better waterproofing for roofs that don’t shed water as quickly. Metal roofing is another option—it’s expensive upfront but lasts 40-50 years, sheds snow easily, and requires almost no maintenance.
The underlayment matters as much as the shingles. We use synthetic underlayment that won’t tear or deteriorate in humid conditions, plus ice and water shield in vulnerable areas where standard underlayment fails. Proper ventilation is critical in Long Island’s climate—without it, heat and moisture build up in your attic and shorten your roof’s lifespan regardless of what material you choose.
