You shouldn’t have to grab buckets when it rains. You shouldn’t lie awake during nor’easters wondering if water’s coming through your ceiling. When your roof is actually fixed—not just patched—you get your peace of mind back.
That’s what happens when the repair addresses the root cause instead of slapping on a quick fix. No more recurring leaks in the same spot. No more anxiety every time dark clouds roll in off the Sound. Just a roof that does its job, protecting your home and everything inside it.
Most homeowners don’t realize their roof needs attention until water starts dripping into the living room. By then, what could’ve been a simple repair has turned into damaged insulation, rotted wood, and a much bigger bill. Getting it fixed quickly—and correctly—saves you money and headaches down the road.
Home Team Construction has spent over a decade solving roof problems for West Hills homeowners. We’re licensed, insured, and local—which means our work quality reflects on us in the community. When your neighbor needs their roof fixed, they call us back.
We’ve handled everything from emergency storm damage after nor’easters to chronic leaks that three other contractors couldn’t solve. Suffolk County weather is tough on roofs—salt air, ice dams, wind-driven rain—and we’ve seen what works and what fails. No subcontractors. Just our trained crew members who live and work in the same neighborhoods we serve.
You’re not getting a sales pitch or a runaround. You’re getting straight answers, clear pricing, and repairs that hold up when the next storm hits.
First, we respond fast. For active leaks or storm damage, we’re typically there the same day or within 24 hours. We know that when water’s coming in, every hour matters.
Once we’re on-site, we inspect the obvious problem and the surrounding area. Most leaks aren’t caused by the spot where water shows up inside—it’s usually traveling from somewhere else. We find the actual source, not just the symptom.
Then we give you a clear estimate before starting any work. You’ll know exactly what needs fixing and what it costs. No surprises, no pressure. If insurance is involved, we document everything with photos and provide the detailed paperwork adjusters need.
During the repair, we protect your property with tarps and do a complete cleanup afterward. You won’t find nails in your driveway or debris in your yard. The job isn’t finished until your property looks better than when we arrived.

Every repair starts with a thorough inspection to identify all damage—not just the obvious spots. We check flashing around chimneys and skylights, examine shingles for wind damage, and look for signs of water infiltration that haven’t shown up inside yet.
West Hills sits in the path of coastal storms that dump heavy snow, drive rain sideways, and create ice dams that standard materials can’t handle. We use quality materials designed for Suffolk County’s climate—products that hold up against salt air corrosion and temperature swings from 23°F winters to 81°F summers.
You get complete documentation of the work with photos showing what was damaged and what we fixed. If you’re filing an insurance claim, this paperwork makes the process smoother. We’ve worked with major insurance companies and know what they need to see.
The repair also includes a warranty, so if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. We’re not disappearing after cashing your check—we’re here in West Hills for the long haul.
Most roof repairs in West Hills range from $450 to $1,800, with the average landing around $1,100. Emergency repairs for small leaks typically start around $300 to $500. More extensive damage from storms or structural issues can run $2,500 to $7,000 depending on materials and labor involved.
The actual cost depends on what’s damaged and what caused it. A few missing shingles after a windstorm costs less than fixing rotted decking from a long-term leak. Metal roof repairs often cost more than asphalt shingle work because of specialized materials and techniques.
We provide a detailed written estimate before starting so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden costs, no surprises when the bill comes. If insurance is covering the damage, we help document everything to support your claim.
For active leaks or storm damage, we typically respond the same day or within 24 hours. If you call in the morning with water coming through your ceiling, we’re often there that afternoon. True emergencies—like major storm damage with rain pouring in—usually get a response within a few hours.
Speed matters because water damage gets worse fast. What starts as a small leak can ruin insulation, rot wood framing, and damage ceilings in just a day or two. Getting a tarp up and stopping the water quickly can save you thousands in additional repairs.
Even if we can’t complete the full repair immediately, we’ll secure your roof to prevent further damage and schedule the permanent fix as soon as possible. You won’t be left waiting and wondering while your home takes on more water.
Yes, if it’s done right the first time. We don’t do band-aid fixes that fail in six months. Every repair addresses the root cause—not just the visible symptom—using materials designed for Suffolk County’s coastal weather.
That means checking the area around the obvious damage for hidden problems. A leak in your living room might be caused by failed flashing 10 feet away. If we only patch the spot where water shows up inside, the real problem keeps getting worse.
We’ve handled thousands of repairs across West Hills and surrounding areas through Hurricane Sandy, countless nor’easters, and surprise ice storms. We know which materials and techniques hold up when wind-driven rain tests every weak spot. The repair gets documented with photos so you can see the quality of work, and it’s backed by a warranty.
Yes. We work directly with insurance companies and help guide you through the claims process. That includes providing detailed documentation with photos showing all storm damage, writing estimates that match what insurance adjusters need to see, and explaining what’s covered versus what’s not.
Our experience with local weather patterns helps us identify all the damage from a storm—not just the obvious missing shingles. Insurance companies have strict deadlines for filing claims, so documenting everything promptly matters. We know what adjusters look for when evaluating storm damage.
We can’t guarantee what your insurance will cover—that’s between you and your policy—but we make sure you have the paperwork and evidence to support your claim. Many homeowners don’t realize how much documentation insurance requires, and incomplete claims get denied or underpaid.
Wind-driven rain from coastal storms is the biggest culprit. Suffolk County sits right in the path of nor’easters that drive rain sideways into every weak spot—worn flashing, lifted shingles, gaps around chimneys and skylights. Standard materials that work fine inland don’t always hold up against salt air and sustained wind.
Ice dams are the second major cause. When snow melts and refreezes at your roof edge, it creates a dam that forces water under shingles. Winters that dump two feet of snow create conditions where this happens repeatedly, and the damage doesn’t show up until spring when everything thaws.
Failed flashing around chimneys, skylights, and roof valleys causes more leaks than most homeowners realize. The flashing is supposed to seal the gaps where different roof planes meet, but it corrodes faster in coastal air or gets damaged during storms. Once it fails, water finds its way in—and it often travels along rafters before dripping into your home, making the source hard to locate.
If the damage is localized—a section of missing shingles, one leaky valley, failed flashing around a chimney—repair makes sense. You’re looking at hundreds or a couple thousand dollars instead of $15,000 to $30,000 for a full replacement. Most storm damage falls into this category.
But if your roof is over 20 years old and you’re dealing with multiple leaks, widespread shingle deterioration, or sagging sections, replacement is usually the smarter move. Pouring money into repeated repairs on a failing roof means you’ll still need replacement soon—and you’ve wasted the repair costs.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during the inspection. If repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing good money after bad, we’ll tell you that too. Sometimes the answer is “repair this now, but start planning for replacement in the next few years.” You deserve straight information to make the right decision for your home and budget.
