Hear From Our Clients
You stop worrying about the next storm. Your attic stays dry when it rains. Your energy bills drop because your insulation actually works now.
That’s what happens when your roof gets installed right the first time. Not patched. Not “good enough for now.” Installed with impact-resistant shingles, proper flashing, and the extra nail fastenings that keep everything locked down when wind speeds hit 60 mph.
Long Island throws everything at your roof. Salt air from the coast. Nor’easters with sustained winds. Ice dams in February. The August 2024 storm that dumped record rainfall across Suffolk County in under 24 hours. Your roof either handles it, or it doesn’t. We make sure it does.
Home Team Construction has been installing roofs across Suffolk County for over 10 years. We’re not a national chain. We’re the crew you see at the hardware store on Sunday morning.
Every roofer on our team is licensed, insured, and trained to handle everything from asphalt shingle replacement to metal roofing installation. No subcontractors. No rotating crews. Just the same professionals who’ve been doing this work in Stony Brook University, Port Jefferson, and Brookhaven since day one.
When you call, you talk to Alban. When we show up, it’s our truck in your driveway. When something needs fixing years later, we’re still here.
You call or text. We schedule a same-day or next-day visit to look at your roof. No pressure. No upselling. Just a clear explanation of what needs to happen and why.
We measure everything, check your decking, inspect your flashing and gutters, then give you a written estimate before we leave. You’ll know the exact cost, the materials we’re using, and how long the job takes. If you want storm-rated shingles or algae-resistant materials for the coastal air, we walk through those options with real numbers.
Once you’re ready, we order materials and lock in your install date. Our crew shows up on time, protects your landscaping, tears off the old roof, replaces any damaged decking, and installs your new roof with proper ventilation and weatherproofing. We send photo updates throughout the day. When we’re done, we walk the property with a magnet to pick up every nail. You get a clean site and a roof that’s ready for the next 20 years.

Every roof installation includes a full tear-off of old materials, inspection and replacement of damaged decking, new underlayment, and your choice of shingle or metal roofing. We install drip edge, flashing around chimneys and skylights, ridge vents for proper attic ventilation, and starter strips that prevent wind uplift.
For homes near the coast in Stony Brook University and Port Jefferson, we recommend algae-resistant shingles that hold up against salt air. For older homes with ice dam issues, we add ice and water shield in valleys and along eaves. If your gutters are sagging or pulling away from the fascia, we handle gutter repair or seamless gutter installation at the same time so water drains properly.
You’re not just getting new shingles. You’re getting a complete roofing system designed to keep water out, regulate temperature, and survive the weather patterns that hit Suffolk County hardest. That includes the freeze-thaw cycles in winter, the humidity all summer, and the tropical storms that roll through every few years.
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Suffolk County run between $5,500 and $32,000 depending on size, pitch, and material quality. Metal roofing costs more upfront, typically $15,000 to $55,000, but lasts twice as long and handles coastal conditions better.
Your actual cost depends on square footage, how many layers we’re tearing off, whether your decking needs repair, and what materials you choose. A standard ranch with architectural shingles usually falls in the $12,000 to $18,000 range. A two-story colonial with steep angles and multiple valleys costs more because of labor and material waste.
We give you a written estimate before any work starts. No surprises. No change orders unless you ask for upgrades. And we offer 18-month interest-free payment plans if you need to spread the cost out.
Most residential roof installations take one to three days depending on size and complexity. A simple ranch with good weather? One day. A larger two-story home with multiple chimneys, skylights, and valleys? Two to three days.
We don’t stretch jobs out. Our crew shows up early, works straight through, and cleans up at the end of each day. If weather delays us, we tarp everything and reschedule as soon as conditions clear.
From the day you approve the estimate to the day we finish, you’re usually looking at one to two weeks total. That includes ordering materials, scheduling the crew, and completing the install. If it’s an emergency repair after storm damage, we move faster and can often start within 24 to 48 hours.
Algae-resistant asphalt shingles and metal roofing with rust-resistant coatings perform best in Suffolk County. The salt air accelerates corrosion on standard materials, so you need products designed for coastal exposure.
Architectural shingles with algae protection last 25 to 30 years here and resist the black streaks you see on older roofs. Metal roofing lasts 40 to 50 years, sheds snow and ice better, and holds up against high winds without losing panels. Both options handle the freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity without cracking or warping.
We don’t recommend basic three-tab shingles for Long Island homes anymore. They’re cheaper upfront but fail faster in this climate. You’ll replace them in 15 years instead of 25, and they don’t have the wind rating you need for Nor’easters. Spend a little more now, replace your roof half as often.
Not always, but it’s the right time to check. If your gutters are sagging, pulling away from the fascia, or more than 15 years old, replacing them during roof installation saves you money and prevents problems later.
Old gutters cause water to back up under your new shingles, which leads to fascia rot and leaks along the roofline. Seamless gutters installed at the same time as your roof create a complete water management system that protects your foundation, basement, and landscaping.
We inspect your gutters during the estimate and tell you if they’re still good or if replacement makes sense. Most homeowners replace them together because the scaffolding is already up and you avoid a second project six months later when the old gutters fail.
If you’re missing a few shingles after a storm, repair works. If your roof is over 20 years old, leaking in multiple spots, or showing curled and cracked shingles across large sections, replacement is the smarter move.
Repairs make sense for localized damage. A tree branch punched a hole? We patch it. Flashing around your chimney is loose? We reseal it. But if you’re patching the same areas every year or your roof is near the end of its lifespan, you’re throwing money at a problem that’s only getting worse.
We’ll tell you honestly which option makes sense. Sometimes a $1,500 repair buys you three more years. Sometimes it’s a waste because you’ll need a full replacement in 12 months anyway. We look at your decking, check for soft spots, and give you a recommendation based on what we actually see, not what makes us the most money.
Storm damage after installation is rare when the roof is installed correctly, but Long Island weather can be unpredictable. If a major storm causes damage, we come out the same day to assess it and tarp any exposed areas to prevent further water intrusion.
Most storm damage comes from falling trees or flying debris, not installation failure. Our roofs are built with extra fastenings and storm-rated materials specifically because we know what Nor’easters and tropical storms do to this area. We’ve seen the wind speeds. We’ve cleaned up after the flooding. We install every roof like it has to survive the next big one.
If something does fail because of our work, we fix it at no cost. If it’s storm damage beyond normal wear, we help you document everything for insurance and get repairs scheduled fast. You’re not waiting weeks with a tarp on your roof while water seeps into your attic.
