Hear From Our Clients
You stop worrying every time it rains. No more water stains spreading across your ceiling, no more buckets in the hallway, no more wondering if this storm is the one that finally does real damage.
A solid roof means your $850,000+ home stays protected. Your insurance company stops sending those letters about roof age. Your energy bills drop because you’re not heating and cooling the outdoors through gaps and worn shingles.
You get back to living in your house instead of stressing about it. That’s what happens when you work with a roofing contractor who knows East Setauket homes, understands what Long Island weather does to roofs year after year, and fixes problems correctly the first time.
Home Team Construction is a family-owned roofing company that’s been working in East Setauket and across Suffolk County for over two decades. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we live and work in the same communities we serve.
Most of the homes in your neighborhood were built between 1970 and 1999. That means a lot of roofs are hitting or passing that 20-25 year mark where problems start showing up—especially after Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, coastal storms, and salt air take their toll.
We handle everything from emergency roof repair after storm damage to complete tear-offs and replacements. We also take care of chimneys, gutters, siding, skylights, and decks, so you’re not coordinating three different contractors when you need exterior work done.
You reach out, and we actually answer. We schedule a time that works for you—usually within a few days, not weeks—and we show up when we say we will.
We inspect your roof and explain what’s wrong in plain language. If it’s a flashing issue causing leaks three rooms away from the actual problem, we’ll show you why. If your shingles are shot and a patch job won’t cut it, we’ll tell you that too. You get upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
Once you approve the work, most jobs start within two weeks. We handle permits if needed, order materials that can stand up to coastal conditions, and complete the work without leaving your property a mess. For full replacements, we do complete tear-offs, inspect the decking, replace any rotted sections, install new underlayment and shingles, and haul everything away.
You get photo or video updates if you want them. When we’re done, your roof works the way it should—and you have our number if anything ever comes up.

Emergency roof repair means we respond fast when storms cause damage. Tarps, temporary fixes, and permanent repairs to stop water from destroying your home’s interior. In East Setauket, where coastal storms hit hard and insurance claims jump 65% after severe weather, fast response matters.
Roof replacement covers full tear-offs for roofs that are past saving. We’re talking complete removal of old materials, inspection and repair of decking, new underlayment, quality shingles rated for Long Island conditions, proper ventilation, and flashing that actually keeps water out. Most replacements in your area run $8,000-$25,000 depending on size and materials.
Leak repair tackles the hidden problems—flashing failures, damaged valleys, worn pipe boots, and ice dam damage that shows up every February and March. We find the actual source, not just where the water’s dripping, because most leaks appear far from where they start.
We also handle gutters that protect your foundation from the $10,000+ repair bills that come with water damage, chimney work that prevents drafts and leaks, and siding repairs that keep your home’s envelope tight. One contractor, multiple services, no coordination headaches.
Most roof replacements in East Setauket run between $8,000 and $25,000. The range depends on your roof size, pitch, material choice, and how much decking needs replacement once we pull off the old shingles.
A typical single-family home here—around 2,000-2,500 square feet of roof surface—usually lands in the $12,000-$18,000 range for quality asphalt shingles. If you’re going with architectural shingles rated for coastal conditions, you’re looking at the higher end. Metal roofing costs more upfront but lasts longer in salt air.
The price includes complete tear-off, disposal, any necessary decking repairs, new underlayment, shingles, flashing, ridge vents, and cleanup. We give you upfront pricing before work starts, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprises when the job’s done.
For active leaks during storms, we can usually get someone out within 24-48 hours to tarp or temporarily seal the problem. Permanent repairs happen once conditions are safe and dry enough to work.
The reality is that working on a wet, icy, or wind-damaged roof is dangerous and often makes things worse. But we can stop water from pouring into your house while we wait for weather to clear. That means tarps, emergency sealant, or temporary patches that buy you time without risking anyone’s safety.
Once we can work safely, most leak repairs take a few hours to a full day depending on what’s causing it. Flashing repairs, shingle replacement, and valley work are usually same-day fixes. If we find rotted decking or structural damage underneath, that takes longer—but we’ll know once we open it up and we’ll tell you exactly what’s needed before we proceed.
It depends on what caused the damage and what your policy covers. Storm damage, wind damage, and hail damage are usually covered. Wear and tear from an old roof isn’t.
Insurance companies on Long Island have gotten stricter about roof age. Many policies shift to Actual Cash Value coverage once your roof hits 15-20 years old, which means they depreciate what they’ll pay out. Some carriers won’t renew policies at all if your roof is too old or shows significant wear.
We can document storm damage and provide the details your insurance company needs to process a claim. We’ll take photos, note wind speeds from the storm date, and give you a detailed estimate. But we’re not going to tell you to file a claim if the damage isn’t actually covered—that just wastes your time and raises red flags with your carrier. We’ll be straight with you about what’s storm damage and what’s just an old roof that needs replacing.
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for high winds and salt exposure work well for most East Setauket homes. They’re cost-effective, durable, and handle the temperature swings and coastal weather you get here.
Look for shingles with a Class 4 impact rating if hail is a concern—over 12 million properties got hit with hail damage in 2024. Wind ratings matter too. Long Island gets nor’easters and occasional hurricane remnants, so you want shingles rated for at least 110-130 mph winds.
Metal roofing is another solid option, especially if you’re planning to stay in your home long-term. It costs more upfront but lasts 40-70 years, resists salt air corrosion better than shingles, and reflects heat in summer, which helps with energy costs. The downside is higher initial investment and fewer contractors who install it correctly. We handle both, so we can walk you through what makes sense for your house and budget.
If your roof is under 15 years old and you’ve got localized damage—missing shingles from wind, a small leak, damaged flashing—repair usually makes sense. If your roof is over 20 years old or you’re seeing problems in multiple areas, replacement is likely the better move.
Here’s what points toward replacement: curling or missing shingles across large sections, granules washing into your gutters, daylight visible through roof boards in your attic, water stains in multiple rooms, or sagging sections. At that point, patching one area just buys you a little time before the next problem pops up somewhere else.
We’ll inspect your roof and give you an honest assessment. If repairs will hold you for another 5-7 years and you’re not ready to replace, we’ll tell you that. If your roof is barely hanging on and you’re throwing money at a losing battle, we’ll tell you that too. Most homeowners appreciate knowing the truth upfront instead of paying for repairs every six months.
We replace it before installing your new roof. Rotted or damaged decking can’t hold shingles properly, and putting a new roof over bad wood just means you’ll have problems in a year or two.
This happens more often than you’d think, especially on older East Setauket homes where small leaks went unnoticed for months or years. Water gets under shingles, sits on the plywood or boards underneath, and eventually rots the wood. You don’t see it until the old roof comes off.
Decking replacement adds to the cost—usually $3-$6 per square foot depending on the extent of damage—but it’s not optional if you want your new roof to last. We’ll show you the damage, explain what needs replacing, and give you pricing before we proceed. The good news is that once it’s fixed, you’ve got a solid base that’ll support your new roof for the next 20-25 years.
