Hear From Our Clients
You shouldn’t have to put buckets in your attic or wonder if this is the year your roof finally gives out. When your roof is installed correctly with materials built for coastal weather, you stop thinking about it. No more emergency calls after every nor’easter. No more water stains spreading across your ceiling. No more wondering if that contractor is ever going to call you back.
Your home is worth protecting the right way. That means impact-resistant shingles that handle Long Island’s salt air and temperature swings. It means flashing installed so water goes where it’s supposed to. It means a crew that knows the difference between a quick patch and a real fix.
When the work is done right, your roof does its job quietly for decades. You get back to your life, and your biggest investment stays protected through whatever weather Suffolk County throws at it.
Home Team Construction has spent over a decade serving Long Island homeowners who are tired of contractors who don’t show up or surprise them with hidden costs. We’re licensed roofers who understand what coastal weather does to homes in East Hampton North, NY, because we deal with the same storms you do.
Every crew member is trained, insured, and held to the same standard. When we give you a price, that’s what you pay. When we say we’ll be there Tuesday, we show up Tuesday.
You’re not hiring a national chain that doesn’t know Suffolk County building codes or what salt air does to roofing materials. You’re hiring people who’ve been handling emergency roof repairs and full replacements in your neighborhood for years, and who’ll still be here when you need us again.
First, we come out and inspect your roof. Not a sales pitch, just an honest assessment of what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it. We check your shingles, flashing, underlayment, and structure. If you’ve got storm damage, we document everything you’ll need for insurance.
Then you get a clear estimate. No vague line items or “we’ll see when we get up there” pricing. You know what you’re paying before we start, and that number doesn’t change unless you change the scope.
Once you’re ready, we schedule the work and show up on time. Our crew protects your property, tears off old materials if needed, and installs your new roof using proper techniques for coastal conditions. We handle permits, inspections, and cleanup. When we’re done, your roof is built to last through decades of Long Island weather.
You get a warranty in writing, and a local roofing company you can actually reach if you ever need us again.
Ready to get started?
We handle everything from emergency roof repair after storms to complete tear-offs and replacements. That includes asphalt shingles, flat roofing systems, and materials engineered for the coastal conditions we face in East Hampton North, NY.
Every job includes proper ventilation, ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, and flashing that’s installed to prevent leaks around chimneys, skylights, and valleys. We’re not cutting corners to be the affordable roofers with the lowest bid. We’re pricing the job to do it correctly so you’re not calling someone else in three years to fix our work.
If you’re dealing with insurance after storm damage, we’ll document everything and work with your adjuster. If you just need a straight answer about whether to repair or replace, we’ll tell you what makes sense for your situation and your budget. East Hampton North sees some of the harshest weather on Long Island, with nor’easters, hurricanes, heavy snow, and salt air that never lets up. Your roof needs to handle all of it, and the installation matters just as much as the materials.
If your roof is under 15 years old and you’ve got isolated damage like missing shingles or a small leak, repair usually makes sense. If you’re over 20 years, seeing widespread curling or granule loss, or dealing with multiple leaks, replacement is probably the smarter move.
Here’s what we look at: how much of your roof is damaged, whether the underlayment is compromised, and how much life your shingles have left. A roof that’s been patched three times in five years is telling you something. At some point, you’re throwing money at a losing battle.
We’ll give you an honest assessment either way. If a repair buys you another five years and you’re planning to sell, we’ll tell you that. If your roof is failing and a replacement is the only real fix, we’ll tell you that too. You’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with before you spend a dollar.
Start with licensing and insurance. Every roofer in New York needs a home improvement contractor license, and their crew needs to be insured. If they can’t show you proof immediately, walk away. You don’t want to be liable if someone gets hurt on your property.
Next, ask for a detailed written estimate. Vague proposals with line items like “roofing materials” or “labor” are red flags. You should see exactly what materials they’re using, how they’re installing them, and what’s included in the price. If they’re pushy about signing same-day or offering a “discount if you decide right now,” that’s another red flag.
Finally, check how long they’ve been working locally. A company that’s been serving Suffolk County for a decade isn’t going anywhere. You want someone who’ll be around if you need warranty work or have questions five years from now. Ask for references from jobs in your area, and don’t be afraid to drive by and see their work.
Most residential roof replacements take two to four days depending on size, complexity, and weather. A straightforward ranch with good access can be done in two days. A larger two-story home with multiple valleys, chimneys, and skylights might take four.
Weather is the wildcard. We’re not installing roofing in the rain or when high winds are forecast, because that compromises the installation. If we have to pause for weather, we make sure your home is protected with tarps until conditions improve. Rushing through a roof replacement to hit a deadline is how you end up with leaks.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The goal isn’t to be the fastest crew in East Hampton North. It’s to install your roof correctly so it lasts 25 years instead of needing repairs in five.
Impact-resistant asphalt shingles are your best bet for most homes in East Hampton North, NY. They’re rated to handle high winds and hail, which matters when nor’easters and hurricanes roll through. Look for shingles rated for 130 mph winds minimum, and make sure your contractor is installing them with the right number of nails and proper starter strips.
For flat or low-slope roofs, TPO or EPDM rubber roofing holds up well against salt air and temperature swings. Modified bitumen is another solid option. What doesn’t work well here is cheap three-tab shingles or shortcuts on underlayment. The salt air and coastal humidity are tough on roofing materials, and you’ll pay for cheap materials with early failure.
Your underlayment matters just as much as your shingles. Synthetic underlayment lasts longer than felt paper and handles moisture better. Ice and water shield around eaves, valleys, and penetrations prevents the leaks that turn into major problems. The installation technique is what separates a roof that lasts from one that fails early.
It depends on your policy and what caused the damage. Most homeowners insurance covers sudden damage from wind, hail, falling trees, or fire. If a nor’easter rips shingles off your roof or a tree branch punches through during a storm, you’re typically covered minus your deductible.
What insurance doesn’t cover is damage from lack of maintenance or normal wear and tear. If your 25-year-old roof is leaking because it’s at the end of its life, that’s on you. If your gutters have been clogged for years and water damage results, they’ll likely deny the claim.
Here’s what to do after storm damage: document everything with photos before you make temporary repairs. Call your insurance company and get a claim number. Then call a local roofing company to assess the damage and provide an estimate. We work with insurance adjusters regularly and know how to document damage so your claim gets approved. We’ll meet with your adjuster, explain what needs to be fixed, and make sure nothing gets missed. Just don’t wait weeks to file—most policies require prompt notification.
For a typical single-family home in East Hampton North, you’re looking at $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on size, pitch, complexity, and materials. A simple 1,500 square foot ranch with architectural shingles might run $10,000 to $15,000. A larger two-story home with steep pitches, multiple valleys, and premium materials can easily hit $20,000 to $30,000.
What drives the price: your roof’s square footage, the number of layers being torn off, how many penetrations we’re flashing (chimneys, skylights, vents), the pitch and accessibility, and the materials you choose. Impact-resistant shingles rated for high winds cost more than basic three-tabs, but they last longer and perform better in coastal storms.
We give you a detailed written estimate before starting so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no “we found this once we got up there” upcharges unless you approve a change in scope. If you’re working with insurance, we’ll help you understand what’s covered and what’s out of pocket. The goal is a roof that protects your home for 25+ years, not the cheapest bid that fails in five.
