Hear From Our Clients
You’re not looking for the cheapest patch job. You need your roof fixed so it actually holds up through the next nor’easter, the next heavy snow, the next summer storm that rolls through Greenport.
That means addressing what caused the leak in the first place. Not just the obvious damage, but the flashing that’s been compromised, the shingles around the problem area that are already lifting, the underlayment that’s been exposed to moisture. Most roof leak repair fails because contractors only fix what they can see.
We handle roof repairs the way they should be done: identify the root cause, address surrounding vulnerabilities, use materials that stand up to salt air and coastal wind, and give you documentation of exactly what we found and fixed. You get a roof that protects your home through Suffolk County’s weather, not just until the next storm.
Home Team Construction has spent over a decade fixing roofs across Greenport, Southold, and the North Fork. We’re licensed roof contractors who respond to the same coastal challenges you face because we live in the same community.
When a nor’easter hits and your roof starts leaking at 9 PM, you need someone who answers. We typically respond same day or within 24 hours for active leaks and storm damage. Our crews know how salt air accelerates corrosion, how ice dams form on North Fork homes, and which repair methods actually last in this climate.
You’re not getting a crew from out of town who’s never seen a coastal roof. You’re getting local roofers whose reputation depends on the quality of work we leave behind in our own neighborhood.
First, we actually show up when we say we will. You’ll get a clear arrival window, and we’ll call if anything changes.
We inspect the obvious damage and the areas around it. Most leaks start in one spot but compromise surrounding materials. We take photos of everything we find, explain what caused the problem, and walk you through what needs to be fixed now versus what you should monitor. If you’re filing an insurance claim, we document everything adjusters need to see.
You get a clear estimate before we start. No surprise charges, no “we found more damage” upsells unless we genuinely discover something that wasn’t visible during inspection. Then we make the repairs using materials rated for coastal conditions, clean up completely, and give you photos of the finished work plus any warranty information. If it’s an emergency roof repair, we secure your home immediately with proper tarping, then schedule the permanent fix.

Every roof repair includes a full assessment of the damaged area and surrounding sections. We’re looking at shingles, flashing, underlayment, valleys, and any penetrations like vents or skylights near the problem area. Greenport homes face unique challenges from Atlantic salt air and nor’easters that most of Long Island doesn’t deal with.
We handle everything from minor shingle replacement to major storm damage repairs, metal roof repair, flat roof leaks, and emergency tarping. If your chimney flashing failed or your skylight is leaking, we fix those too. All work is done by licensed, insured crews with materials that match your existing roof and hold up to Suffolk County weather.
You get complete documentation with before and after photos, a written scope of what we repaired, and clear warranty information. If you’re working with insurance, we provide the detailed assessment and photos they require. Most roof repairs in Greenport run between $450 and $3,000 depending on damage extent, and we’ll tell you upfront if you’re better off replacing sections versus patching.
We typically respond same day or within 24 hours for active leaks and storm damage. Roof emergencies don’t wait for business hours, especially during storm season when every hour of exposure causes more damage to your interior.
When you call with an emergency, we prioritize getting someone to your property to assess the damage and secure your home. That usually means tarping the affected area properly so you’re protected while we schedule the permanent repair. We keep emergency materials and tarps ready specifically for these situations.
The reality in Greenport is that coastal storms can cause multiple emergencies at once. If we’re genuinely backed up with active leaks, we’ll tell you honestly what our response time looks like rather than promise something we can’t deliver. But in over ten years serving the North Fork, we’ve built our crew and systems specifically to handle emergency roof repair when homeowners need us most.
If the damage is localized to one area and your roof is less than 15 years old, repair usually makes sense. If you’re facing multiple problem areas, your roof is over 20 years old, or this is your third repair in five years, replacement is probably smarter financially.
Here’s what we look at: the extent of current damage, the condition of surrounding shingles, how many previous repairs you’ve had, and your roof’s age. A single leak from storm damage on a 10-year-old roof? Repair it. Multiple leaks, curling shingles throughout, and the roof is 22 years old? You’re throwing money at a failing system.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options with clear costs. Sometimes homeowners are surprised that replacement is only $3,000 more than a major repair, which changes the math completely. Other times an $800 repair buys you five more solid years from a roof that’s otherwise in good shape. We explain the reasoning so you can make the right call for your situation and budget.
Yes, and we know exactly what insurance adjusters need to see. We provide detailed photos of all damage, written assessments explaining what failed and why, and documentation that separates storm damage from normal wear and tear.
The key thing to understand is that insurance typically covers sudden damage from specific weather events, not gradual deterioration. If a nor’easter ripped shingles off your roof, that’s covered. If your 25-year-old shingles are failing from age, that’s not. We document everything clearly so there’s no confusion about what happened.
We can meet with your adjuster on-site if needed, though many claims are handled with photos now. We’ll provide an estimate that matches insurance requirements and explain any differences between what’s covered and what you might need to pay out of pocket. We’ve worked with every major insurance company serving Suffolk County, so we know their processes and what documentation they require.
Flashing failures around chimneys and skylights are the most common culprit, followed by wind-damaged shingles and ice dam problems in winter. Greenport’s coastal location adds salt air corrosion that accelerates these issues compared to inland areas.
Flashing is the metal that seals the gaps where your roof meets chimneys, walls, or skylights. When it corrodes or pulls away, water gets underneath. Most homeowners don’t notice until they see ceiling stains. Nor’easters and summer storms with high winds lift shingle edges, and once a few are compromised, the problem spreads quickly.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow, and the water refreezes at the roof edge. That ice backs water up under your shingles. It’s a bigger problem on the North Fork than people realize because we get heavy, wet snow that sits on roofs. The fix isn’t just repairing the leak, it’s addressing the ventilation and insulation issues that caused the ice dam in the first place.
Most roof repairs in the Greenport area run between $450 and $3,000, depending on the extent of damage and what materials we’re working with. Simple shingle replacement on a small section costs less than repairing extensive flashing damage or addressing multiple leak points.
Emergency roof repair with tarping typically starts around $400-600 for the temporary protection, then you’re looking at the permanent fix cost on top of that. Metal roof repair often runs higher because the materials cost more and the work requires specialized experience. If we’re dealing with storm damage that compromised your underlayment or decking, costs increase because we’re repairing structural elements, not just surface materials.
We give you a clear estimate before starting any work. If we discover additional damage once we open up the roof, we stop and explain what we found, what it costs to fix, and what happens if you don’t address it. You’re never surprised by the final bill. For context, roof replacement in Suffolk County runs $5,000 to $31,000, so repair is almost always the more affordable option when it’s viable.
Get a bucket under the leak, move anything valuable away from the area, and call us right away. If water is actively coming in, don’t wait until morning or until the storm passes. The longer water runs into your home, the more damage it causes to ceilings, walls, insulation, and even electrical systems.
If you can safely access your attic, put a bucket up there at the source of the leak rather than just catching water from your ceiling. This prevents water from spreading through insulation and causing more extensive damage. Don’t try to get on your roof during a storm, that’s genuinely dangerous and not worth the risk.
Call us even if it’s 10 PM on a Saturday. We’ll talk you through immediate steps to minimize damage and get someone out for emergency tarping as quickly as conditions allow. Once your home is secured, we’ll schedule the proper assessment and permanent repair. The key is stopping more water from entering your home, then fixing the root cause so it doesn’t happen again.
