Hear From Our Clients
When your roof starts leaking during a nor’easter or you spot missing shingles after last night’s storm, you need contractors who understand what Northport weather does to roofs. You get repairs that handle salt air corrosion, ice dam damage, and the constant expansion and contraction that comes with our coastal climate.
No more temporary patches that fail in six months. No more water stains spreading across your ceiling while you wait for callbacks. Your roof becomes the reliable barrier it should be—keeping you dry during the next storm and protecting your home’s value year-round.
We’ve seen what happens when roof repairs aren’t done right the first time. That’s why we use materials designed for Long Island’s demanding conditions and installation techniques that actually last.
Home Team Construction has been solving roof problems for Suffolk County homeowners for over a decade. We’re the contractors Northport residents call when they need their roof fixed right the first time.
Our team understands what salt air does to flashing, how ice dams form on Long Island roofs, and why some repairs fail after the first big storm. We’ve handled everything from emergency tarping during hurricanes to complex leak detection in historic Northport homes.
Being local means we’re here when you need us most. When that sudden storm hits or you discover water damage on a Sunday morning, you’re not dealing with some distant call center. You’re working with licensed professionals who live and work in your community.
First, we actually show up when we say we will. Our licensed contractor comes out to assess what’s really wrong with your roof—not just the obvious damage, but the underlying issues that could cause problems later.
We explain exactly what we found and what needs to be fixed. No technical jargon, no pressure tactics. Just a clear breakdown of the problem and how we’ll solve it, including what it’ll cost before we start any work.
Then we fix it using materials designed for Northport’s coastal conditions. That means proper fasteners that won’t corrode in salt air, flashing techniques that handle our freeze-thaw cycles, and sealants that actually stay sealed through summer heat and winter storms. When we’re done, we clean up completely and walk you through what we did.

Whether you’re dealing with missing shingles after last week’s storm, a persistent leak you can’t track down, or damage from falling branches, we handle the full range of roof repairs Northport homeowners face.
Emergency repairs get priority response because we know roof damage doesn’t wait for business hours. Storm damage repair includes everything from temporary tarping to complete section replacement, depending on what your roof needs.
Northport’s location means your roof faces unique challenges other Long Island towns don’t deal with. The combination of salt air from the harbor, temperature swings, and severe weather patterns requires repair techniques that account for these local conditions. We use appropriate materials and proven methods that work specifically for our area’s demanding climate.
We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within hours, not days. When storms hit Northport or you discover active leaks, we understand that every hour counts before water damage spreads.
Our emergency response includes temporary solutions like tarping to stop immediate damage, followed by permanent repairs once conditions allow. We keep emergency materials stocked specifically for situations like this, so we’re not scrambling to find supplies when you need help most.
For non-emergency repairs, we usually schedule within the same week. We know how frustrating it is to wait weeks for a contractor to show up, especially when you’re worried about your roof’s condition.
Northport’s coastal location creates specific challenges that require specialized repair approaches. Salt air accelerates corrosion of standard fasteners and flashing, so we use marine-grade materials that resist this constant exposure.
The freeze-thaw cycles here are particularly harsh because of moisture from the harbor combined with temperature swings. This creates expansion and contraction that loosens connections faster than in inland areas. We account for this by using flexible sealants and proper fastening techniques.
Storm patterns coming off the water also hit differently than storms that move across land. Wind-driven rain and debris require repair methods that handle both the immediate impact and the long-term effects of repeated exposure to these conditions.
Active leaks always require immediate attention, even if they seem small. Water damage spreads quickly through insulation, drywall, and structural components, turning a minor repair into a major renovation project.
Missing or severely damaged shingles after storms need prompt repair to prevent water infiltration. Even if you don’t see leaks yet, exposed underlayment won’t protect your home through the next heavy rain or snow event.
Sagging areas, visible structural damage, or anything that affects the roof’s ability to shed water should be addressed immediately. When in doubt, call us for an assessment. We’d rather check something that turns out to be fine than have you deal with extensive water damage because a problem wasn’t caught early.
Repair costs vary significantly based on the type and extent of damage. Minor repairs like replacing a few shingles or resealing flashing typically range from $300 to $800. More extensive repairs involving multiple areas or structural components can range from $1,500 to $5,000.
Emergency repairs during storms or after-hours service include additional charges for immediate response, typically $200-300 above standard pricing. However, this often saves money compared to the water damage that occurs while waiting for regular business hours.
We provide clear, upfront estimates before starting any work. Long Island pricing runs about 15-25% higher than national averages due to local labor rates and material costs, but you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. No surprise charges or “additional work discovered” halfway through the job.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and understand the documentation they require for storm damage claims. We can provide detailed reports, photos, and estimates that help support your claim process.
Our experience with insurance adjusters means we know how to document damage properly and communicate effectively with your insurance company. We’ll work directly with them when possible to streamline the process and reduce hassle for you.
Keep in mind that insurance typically covers sudden damage from storms but not wear-and-tear or maintenance issues. We’ll help you understand what’s likely to be covered and what might be your responsibility, so you can make informed decisions about repairs.
Most standard repairs are completed in one day, weather permitting. Simple jobs like replacing damaged shingles or fixing flashing issues typically take a few hours once we’re on site.
More complex repairs involving structural work or multiple roof areas might take 2-3 days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if weather or unexpected issues affect the schedule.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping immediate damage first, then completing permanent fixes when conditions allow. We understand that having your roof torn up during repairs is stressful, so we work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring quality work that lasts.
