Hear From Our Clients
You shouldn’t have to wonder if your roof can handle another nor’easter. When wind gusts hit 60 mph and rain comes sideways off the Sound, you want to know your house is sealed tight.
That’s what happens when your roof is installed with coastal-grade materials and proper flashing details. No buckets in the attic. No stains spreading across your ceiling. No frantic calls to your insurance agent.
Most roofs in Kings Park fail because they weren’t built for this climate. Standard asphalt shingles might last 25 years in Kansas. Out here, with salt air eating at the granules and freeze-thaw cycles lifting the edges, you’re lucky to get 20. We use impact-resistant shingles with enhanced adhesion and corrosion-resistant fasteners because that’s what actually lasts near the water.
You’ll know the job is done right when the next storm rolls through and you don’t even think about your roof.
Home Team Construction has been replacing roofs and fixing leaks across Suffolk County for over a decade. We’re not a national franchise with a rotating crew. We’re local contractors who live in the same towns we work in.
That matters because our reputation isn’t built on Google reviews alone. It’s built on doing work we can stand behind when we run into you at King Kullen or at a game at Sunken Meadow. We handle the permits, coordinate inspections, and make sure every detail meets local building codes—because we know exactly what those codes require.
When storms hit Kings Park, we’re the ones responding. Not a call center in another state.
First, we come out and inspect your roof. We’re looking at shingle condition, flashing integrity, ventilation, and any signs of water intrusion. You’ll get photos and a clear explanation of what needs to be fixed or replaced—no upselling, no scare tactics.
Once you approve the estimate, we pull the permits and order materials. Most roof replacements in Kings Park take two to five days depending on size and complexity. Smaller homes are usually done in two to three days. We tear off the old roof, inspect the decking for rot or damage, then install new underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and shingles.
Every day ends with a full cleanup. No nails in your driveway. No debris in your landscaping. We use magnetic rollers and tarps to make sure your property looks the same as when we arrived—just with a new roof.
After the final inspection passes, you get two warranties: one from the manufacturer covering the materials, and one from us covering the installation. If something goes wrong, we come back and fix it.
Ready to get started?
You’re not just getting new shingles. You’re getting a roof system designed for Long Island’s coastal climate. That means Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that can take a beating from hail and wind-driven debris. It means ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations to stop leaks before they start. It means proper ventilation so your attic doesn’t turn into a sauna in July.
We also handle the details most homeowners don’t think about until there’s a problem. Chimney flashing gets replaced with corrosion-resistant materials. Gutter systems get inspected and repaired so water drains away from your foundation. Skylights get resealed or replaced if the seals are compromised.
Kings Park sees more rain than most of the country, which means water damage is a constant risk. Our installations account for that. We calculate proper wind load requirements based on your proximity to the water and your roof pitch. We use fastener patterns that exceed code minimums because we’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners.
If you need emergency roof repair after a storm, we respond fast. Temporary tarps and patches to stop active leaks, then a full assessment once it’s safe to get up there. Storm damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Most roof replacements in Kings Park run between $8,000 and $18,000 depending on size, pitch, and materials. A typical 1,500 square foot ranch with standard architectural shingles falls around $10,000 to $12,000. Larger colonials with steeper pitches or multiple valleys cost more because they require more labor and materials.
Impact-resistant shingles add about 10% to 15% to the total cost, but many insurance carriers offer premium discounts of up to 35% for Class 4-rated roofs. That discount can pay for the upgrade in three to five years. If you’re near the water or in a high-wind zone, the upgrade makes even more sense because those shingles hold up better against coastal weather.
We give you a detailed written estimate before any work starts. No surprises, no hidden fees. If we find rotted decking during tear-off, we’ll show you photos and explain what needs to be replaced before moving forward.
Standard asphalt shingles typically last 20 to 25 years in most climates, but coastal conditions shorten that lifespan. Salt air accelerates granule loss, which exposes the asphalt mat underneath to UV damage. Humidity and temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that can lift shingle edges over time.
Impact-resistant shingles with enhanced granule adhesion last longer because they’re built to handle harsher conditions. You’re looking at 25 to 30 years with proper installation and ventilation. Metal roofs last even longer—40 to 50 years—but they cost significantly more upfront.
The biggest factor in roof longevity is installation quality. Proper underlayment, correct fastener placement, and adequate ventilation make a huge difference. We’ve torn off 15-year-old roofs that failed because the original installer didn’t use enough nails or skipped the ice and water shield. Don’t let that be you.
Yes. The Town of Smithtown requires a building permit for any roof replacement in Kings Park. The permit ensures the work meets current building codes, including proper wind load calculations and fire ratings.
We handle the entire permit process for you. That includes submitting the application, providing proof of insurance, and coordinating the required inspections. The town inspector will check the work after installation to make sure everything is up to code. Once the inspection passes, you get a signed-off permit that becomes part of your property record.
Skipping the permit might save a few hundred dollars upfront, but it creates problems down the road. When you sell your house, unpermitted work shows up during the title search. Some insurance companies won’t cover damage to unpermitted roofs. It’s not worth the risk.
First, contain the water. Put a bucket under the leak and move anything valuable out of the way. If water is pooling in your attic, poke a small hole in the ceiling to let it drain into a bucket—sounds counterintuitive, but it prevents the ceiling from collapsing under the weight.
Call us as soon as it’s safe. We offer emergency roof repair in Kings Park and can usually get someone out within a few hours to tarp the area and stop further water intrusion. Once the storm passes, we’ll do a full inspection to find the source of the leak and give you a repair estimate.
Most leaks happen around flashing—chimneys, skylights, valleys, and roof penetrations. Sometimes it’s a lifted shingle or a nail that backed out. We fix the immediate problem first, then assess whether you need a full replacement or just a targeted repair. If your roof is older than 15 years and showing other signs of wear, replacement usually makes more sense than patching.
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized—a few missing shingles after a windstorm, a small leak around a chimney—repair usually makes sense. We can replace damaged sections and reseal flashing without tearing off the entire roof.
If your roof is over 20 years old, or if you’re seeing widespread issues like curling shingles, granule loss, or multiple leaks, replacement is the better move. Patching an old roof is like putting a bandage on a bigger problem. You’ll end up spending more on repeated repairs than you would have on a new roof.
We’ll give you an honest assessment. If a repair will buy you another five years, we’ll tell you. If your roof is at the end of its lifespan and a replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll explain why. You make the final call—we just give you the information you need to decide.
Yes. We work with homeowners on insurance claims regularly. After a storm, we’ll inspect your roof and document any damage with photos and notes. That documentation goes directly to your insurance adjuster to support your claim.
We can also meet the adjuster on-site to walk through the damage together. Sometimes adjusters miss things or underestimate the scope of repairs needed. Having a licensed roofing contractor there ensures nothing gets overlooked.
Once your claim is approved, we coordinate the work according to the insurance timeline. We’ll work with your deductible and make sure the repairs meet all code requirements so there are no issues during the final inspection. If the insurance payout doesn’t cover everything, we’ll explain what’s not covered and why, so you can decide how to move forward.
