Hear From Our Clients
You’re not just getting shingles nailed down. You’re getting a roof system engineered for North Patchogue’s specific conditions—48 inches of rain annually, coastal salt air that corrodes inferior materials, and wind gusts that can hit 60 mph during nor’easters.
When we install your roof, you stop worrying about the next storm. You stop checking the attic after heavy rain. You stop wondering if that contractor actually knew what they were doing.
The difference shows up in January when ice dams don’t form because the ventilation was done correctly. It shows up in July when your cooling bills drop because the materials actually reflect heat. It shows up every time high winds blow through and your shingles stay exactly where we put them.
Most roofers repair problems. We prevent them. That’s what proper roof installation does—it eliminates the issues before they start. You get decades of protection, not just a patch job that buys you a few more years.
Home Team Construction isn’t a crew that shows up from out of state during storm season. We’re based in Suffolk County, and we’ve been installing roofs throughout North Patchogue and surrounding communities for years.
We know what Long Island weather does to roofs because we see it every day. We know which materials hold up to salt air and which ones fail in three years. We know the local building codes, the permit process, and what actually works on homes in this area.
When you call us, you’re talking to people who understand exactly what you’re dealing with. We’ve handled insurance claims after hurricanes. We’ve replaced roofs on homes built in the 1950s with structural issues nobody warned the homeowner about. We’ve been the second or third contractor called in to fix what someone else messed up.
You’re not getting a sales pitch. You’re getting straight answers from roofer contractors who have to live with our reputation in this community.
We start with an inspection of your current roof and attic. Not a five-minute glance from the driveway—an actual assessment of what’s happening with your decking, ventilation, and structural support. You need to know if there are issues before we start tearing anything off.
Once we know what we’re working with, we walk you through material options. Asphalt shingles, metal roofing, slate—each has advantages depending on your home, your budget, and how long you plan to stay there. We’ll tell you what makes sense for your situation, not what makes us the most money.
Installation day, we protect your property first. Tarps go down, magnetic rollers get used to pick up nails, and we don’t leave until your landscaping looks the same as when we arrived. The actual roof installation follows manufacturer specs exactly—proper underlayment, correct flashing around chimneys and skylights, ventilation that actually works.
We handle permits, inspections, and cleanup. You don’t coordinate anything. When we’re done, you get documentation for your records and warranty information that actually means something. If you’re working with insurance on storm damage, we help with that process too.
The whole project typically takes two to five days depending on size and complexity. We don’t drag it out, and we don’t leave your house exposed overnight.

Every roof installation we do includes complete tear-off of old materials down to the decking. We inspect that decking and replace any rotted or damaged sections—this isn’t optional, it’s structural. Then we install high-quality underlayment that adds another layer of water protection.
Flashing gets done right. That’s where most leaks start, so we use proper materials around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and any roof penetrations. Shingle roofers who skip this step are the reason you end up with water stains on your ceiling three years later.
Ventilation matters more than most homeowners realize. North Patchogue gets hot summers and cold winters, and without proper attic ventilation, you’re looking at ice dams, premature shingle failure, and higher energy bills. We calculate the right intake and exhaust ventilation for your specific roof size and install it correctly.
Ridge caps, drip edges, and starter strips all get installed to manufacturer specifications. This isn’t where we cut corners to save time. These details determine whether your roof lasts 15 years or 30 years.
If you need gutter installation or repairs while we’re up there, we handle that too. Same with minor chimney flashing repairs or skylight resealing. We’re already on your roof with all our equipment—it makes sense to address everything at once.
You also get a thorough cleanup. We run magnets across your entire property to pick up nails. We haul away all debris. Your yard doesn’t become a construction zone that you have to deal with after we leave.
For a typical North Patchogue home, full asphalt shingle roof replacement runs between $25,000 and $35,000 depending on size, pitch, and complexity. That’s for complete tear-off and quality materials that will actually last in Long Island weather.
Metal roofing costs more upfront—usually $35,000 to $50,000 for the same house—but it lasts 50+ years versus 20-25 for asphalt. If you’re planning to stay in your home long-term, metal often makes more financial sense.
Labor accounts for about half the total cost. In Suffolk County, you’re paying for licensed, insured roofer contractors who know local building codes and won’t disappear after the deposit clears. The cheapest bid usually means shortcuts you’ll pay for later.
If you’re dealing with insurance after storm damage, your out-of-pocket depends on your deductible and what the adjuster approves. We can walk you through that process and help document damage properly so you’re not leaving money on the table.
Late spring through early fall gives you the most consistent weather windows. Shingles seal better in warmer temperatures, and you’re less likely to deal with project delays from rain or snow.
That said, we install roofs year-round in North Patchogue. If your roof is leaking or you have storm damage, waiting six months isn’t an option. We just take extra precautions with cold-weather installation—proper storage of materials, adjusted installation techniques, and careful monitoring of weather forecasts.
Summer is busy season, so if you’re planning a roof replacement and you have flexibility on timing, booking in late spring or early fall often means faster scheduling. You’re also not competing with everyone else who just realized their roof is shot after the first big storm.
Winter installations cost the same as summer ones. We don’t charge extra for cold-weather work. The job just requires more attention to detail and sometimes takes an extra day if we’re working around weather.
If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re seeing multiple problem areas, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. You’re at the point where you’ll be doing repairs every year or two, and you’re just delaying the inevitable.
Widespread shingle damage—curling, missing granules, cracked or broken shingles across large sections—means the roof has reached the end of its lifespan. Fixing a few spots won’t solve the underlying issue that the materials are worn out.
Interior signs like water stains on ceilings, daylight visible through roof boards in the attic, or sagging sections all point to replacement. These indicate problems with the decking or structure, not just the surface shingles.
If damage is localized—one section hit by a fallen branch, flashing failure around a chimney, or a small area affected by a recent storm—repairs can work. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in. There’s no point selling you a full roof replacement if a $1,500 repair solves your problem for another five years.
Yes. We document damage thoroughly with photos and detailed notes that insurance adjusters actually need. We’ve worked with every major insurance company that covers North Patchogue homes, and we know what they’re looking for.
We’ll meet with your adjuster if needed and walk them through the damage. Sometimes adjusters miss things or underestimate what needs to be replaced—we make sure the claim reflects the actual scope of work required.
You still own the claim process and make final decisions, but we handle the technical side. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials and labor so there’s no confusion about what’s covered.
One thing we won’t do is inflate claims or tell you to file for damage that doesn’t exist. That’s insurance fraud, and it puts your coverage at risk. We document legitimate storm damage accurately, and that’s usually enough to get your claim approved if you have a valid policy.
The whole process typically takes two to four weeks from initial inspection to insurance approval. Once that’s done, we schedule your installation and handle everything from there.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice because they balance cost, durability, and appearance. Quality brands like GAF or Owens Corning hold up well to Long Island weather if installed correctly. You’re looking at 20-25 years of life expectancy.
Metal roofing is gaining popularity in North Patchogue, especially for homeowners who want a roof they’ll never replace again. It handles high winds better than shingles, doesn’t absorb water, and reflects summer heat. The upfront cost is higher, but over 50 years, it’s often cheaper than replacing asphalt twice.
Slate looks great and lasts forever, but it’s heavy and expensive. Most North Patchogue homes weren’t built with the structural support needed for slate, so you’d need reinforcement. It’s usually only worth considering if you’re doing major renovation work anyway.
Avoid the cheapest three-tab shingles. They don’t hold up to coastal conditions and you’ll be replacing them in 12-15 years. The money you save upfront gets eaten up in the shorter lifespan and more frequent repairs.
The right choice depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay in the home, and what your house can structurally support. We’ll walk you through the actual pros and cons for your specific situation—not just push whatever we make the most margin on.
Most residential roof installations in North Patchogue take two to five days of actual work. A straightforward ranch with easy access might be done in two days. A larger colonial with multiple levels, chimneys, and skylights might take four or five.
Weather can add time. If heavy rain is forecast, we don’t start tearing off your old roof the day before. We’re not leaving your house exposed. We schedule around weather windows and sometimes that means pushing back a day or two.
The timeline from when you call us to when the work is done runs about two to four weeks typically. That includes initial inspection, estimate, material ordering, permit processing, and scheduling. During busy season after major storms, it might stretch to six weeks.
Emergency repairs for active leaks or severe storm damage get prioritized. If your roof is actively leaking and causing interior damage, we can usually get a temporary fix in place within 24-48 hours, then schedule the full installation as soon as possible.
Once we start your job, we don’t leave to start someone else’s project. We finish your roof completely before moving to the next one. You’re not dealing with a crew that shows up for half a day, disappears for a week, then comes back. We start, we finish, we clean up, we’re done.
