Hear From Our Clients
You’ve seen what happens to roofs in Blue Point. Salt eats through cheap nails in two years. Wind strips shingles during every nor’easter. Standard materials just don’t cut it near the water.
We use what actually works here. Stainless steel fasteners that laugh at salt air. Shingles engineered for 110+ mph winds. Ventilation systems that handle Long Island humidity without growing mold in your attic.
When the next coastal storm hits, your roof stays put. No emergency tarps. No insurance headaches. Just protection that works the way it should.
Home Team Construction knows Blue Point because we work here every day. Alban and our licensed crew have fixed every type of coastal roof damage you can imagine.
We’ve replaced roofs destroyed by nor’easters rolling off the Great South Bay. Fixed salt corrosion damage from homes near the marina. Handled ice dam problems from Blue Point’s brutal winter-to-spring temperature swings.
Our customers become repeat customers because we don’t use mainland roofing methods that fail here. We use coastal techniques that actually protect Long Island homes.
First, we inspect everything and document what needs fixing with photos. You see exactly what’s wrong before we touch anything. No “discoveries” that double your bill halfway through.
Then we explain your options in plain English. Which materials handle Blue Point’s conditions best for your budget. Why certain upgrades matter here when they don’t matter inland. What timeline works for your schedule.
Installation happens fast with minimal disruption. We protect your property, work efficiently, and clean up completely. You get photos of the finished work and a roof built to handle decades of coastal weather.

Every roof we install gets coastal-specific upgrades as standard. Multiple underlayment layers for moisture protection. Corrosion-resistant fasteners that won’t rust out. Sealants engineered for salt air exposure.
Ventilation gets special attention because Blue Point’s humidity kills roofs from the inside. We install balanced intake and exhaust systems that prevent moisture buildup without compromising energy efficiency. Your attic stays dry, your roof lasts longer.
Location matters too. Homes closer to the water get additional salt-air protections. Properties with mature trees get enhanced debris guards. We adjust our approach based on your specific exposure levels and risk factors.
With proper coastal materials and installation, expect 20-30 years from quality asphalt shingles and 50+ years from metal roofing. Standard installations using mainland techniques typically fail in 10-15 years due to salt air and storm damage.
The difference comes down to using the right materials for coastal conditions. Corrosion-resistant fasteners, enhanced moisture barriers, and wind-rated shingles cost more upfront but prevent early replacement. Cheap installations always cost more in the long run.
We’ve seen too many Blue Point roofs fail prematurely because contractors used standard materials and techniques. Don’t make that expensive mistake.
Architectural shingles with algae resistance offer the best value for most Blue Point homes. They handle salt air well and resist the black streaking common in humid coastal areas. Metal roofing provides maximum longevity and storm protection but costs more upfront.
The fasteners and underlayment matter just as much as surface materials. We use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners that won’t corrode. Enhanced underlayment creates multiple moisture barriers against Long Island’s humidity.
Avoid basic three-tab shingles or any contractor who doesn’t mention fastener upgrades. These shortcuts guarantee early failure in coastal environments.
Storm protection starts with proper fastening patterns and wind-rated materials. We use more fasteners per shingle than code requires, placed in optimal locations for wind uplift resistance. Each shingle gets sealed to prevent wind-driven rain infiltration.
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights gets extra reinforcement since these areas commonly fail during high winds. We fabricate custom pieces when needed to eliminate gaps where water can penetrate during driving rain.
Ice and water barriers go in all vulnerable areas where ice dams form during Blue Point’s freeze-thaw cycles. Proper attic ventilation prevents the heat buildup that creates ice dams in the first place.
Yes, we respond to emergency calls during and after coastal storms. When you discover leaks during a nor’easter or find damage after high winds, we provide immediate temporary repairs to prevent further damage to your home’s interior.
Emergency services include tarping damaged areas, securing loose materials, and sealing active leaks. We document everything with photos for insurance claims and provide permanent repair estimates once conditions allow safe roof access.
We keep emergency materials stocked specifically for common Blue Point storm damage patterns. This allows us to respond quickly when multiple homes need help after major weather events.
Mold prevention requires proper ventilation design for Blue Point’s humid conditions. We install balanced systems with adequate intake vents at soffits and exhaust vents at the ridge to maintain consistent airflow through your attic space.
Multiple moisture barriers prevent water infiltration even if outer roofing surfaces are compromised. We pay special attention to roof penetrations where moisture commonly enters, using marine-grade sealants that resist salt air degradation.
Proper insulation installation prevents condensation without blocking ventilation pathways. This keeps your attic dry and prevents the moisture problems that plague many coastal homes with inadequate ventilation systems.
Every estimate includes materials specifically chosen for coastal conditions – not standard options that fail quickly near the water. You’ll see corrosion-resistant fasteners, enhanced underlayment, and moisture barriers itemized clearly with explanations of why each is necessary.
We document your current roof condition with photos and explain exactly what work needs to be done. No hidden costs for “upgrades” that should be standard for Blue Point installations. No surprise charges discovered during the job.
Labor includes complete debris removal, landscape protection during work, and final inspection with completion photos. We explain warranty coverage and maintenance recommendations to maximize your roof’s lifespan in our challenging coastal environment.
