Hear From Our Clients
Your roof isn’t just shingles and nails. It’s what keeps your family dry during those brutal Long Island storms and your heating bills manageable when winter hits hard.
When we finish your roofing project, you get more than just a new roof. You get peace of mind knowing every shingle, flashing, and vent was installed by licensed contractors who understand what Elwood weather can throw at your home. No more buckets in the attic or stains spreading across your ceiling.
You’ll have a roof that actually protects your investment instead of threatening it. That means lower energy costs, no emergency repair calls at 2 AM, and a home you can feel proud of when neighbors walk by.
Home Team Construction was built on one simple idea: help Elwood homeowners with every roofing challenge, big or small. We’re licensed contractors and skilled roofers who have spent years mastering what it takes to protect homes on Long Island.
We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners or use cheap materials. That’s exactly why we use industry-grade equipment and stay current with the latest roofing techniques. When Long Island weather gets nasty, your roof needs to be ready.
We’re not the biggest roofing company around, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the team that shows up on time, finishes the job right, and treats your home like it’s our own. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in Elwood, one satisfied homeowner at a time.
We start with a thorough inspection of your roof, checking every potential trouble spot. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we find and an honest assessment of whether you need repairs or a full replacement.
Once you approve the work, we handle all the details. We order the right materials, pull any necessary permits, and schedule the job around your life. Our crew arrives on time with professional equipment and gets to work protecting your property while we work on your roof.
During installation, we keep you updated on progress and address any unexpected issues immediately. No surprises, no hidden costs. When we’re finished, we walk through everything with you and clean up completely. You get a roof that’s built to last and the warranty to back it up.

Whether you need emergency storm damage repair or a planned roof replacement, we handle every type of roofing project. Our services include asphalt shingle installation, metal roofing, flat roof repair, and complete tear-offs when necessary.
Long Island’s weather patterns mean your roof faces unique challenges. Heavy snow loads in winter, hurricane-force winds during storm season, and the constant freeze-thaw cycles that crack and loosen materials. We select materials and installation methods specifically designed to handle what Elwood weather delivers.
Beyond basic roofing, we also repair and install chimneys, gutters, skylights, and siding. This means one call handles all your exterior needs instead of coordinating multiple contractors. Every service comes with the same commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction that’s made us Elwood’s trusted roofing team.
Most residential roof replacements in Elwood take 2-4 days, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the job. Weather can affect timing since we won’t work in unsafe conditions.
We start by removing your old roofing materials and inspecting the decking underneath. If we find any damaged wood or structural issues, we’ll address those before installing new materials. This extra step protects your investment and ensures your new roof performs properly for decades.
The actual installation process involves laying new underlayment, installing shingles or other roofing materials, and finishing all the flashing and trim work. We clean up completely each day and make sure your home stays protected throughout the entire process.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for Elwood homes because they handle our weather extremes well while staying affordable. These shingles resist wind uplift, shed water effectively, and come with strong manufacturer warranties.
For homeowners wanting maximum durability, metal roofing is an excellent investment. Metal roofs handle heavy snow loads better than shingles, resist wind damage up to hurricane-force speeds, and can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. The upfront cost is higher, but the long-term value often makes sense.
We also install synthetic slate and tile options that give you the appearance of premium materials with better weather resistance and lighter weight. Every material choice depends on your budget, home style, and long-term plans. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make the right decision for your situation.
Age is the biggest factor. If your roof is over 20 years old and showing multiple problem areas, replacement usually makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. Widespread shingle damage, multiple leaks, or sagging sections typically mean it’s time for a new roof.
For newer roofs, we can often handle problems with targeted repairs. Missing or damaged shingles, small leaks around flashing, or minor storm damage can usually be fixed without replacing the entire roof. The key is addressing these issues quickly before they spread.
During our inspection, we’ll check your shingles, flashing, gutters, and underlayment condition. We’ll also look in your attic for signs of water damage or poor ventilation. You’ll get an honest assessment of what needs immediate attention and what can wait, along with cost comparisons between repair and replacement options.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help guide you through the claims process. We’ll document all storm damage thoroughly and provide detailed estimates that insurance adjusters need to process your claim.
Most insurance policies cover sudden storm damage like hail, wind, or fallen trees, but they don’t cover wear and tear or maintenance issues. We’ll help you understand what’s covered and work directly with your adjuster to ensure you get fair treatment.
The key is calling us quickly after storm damage occurs. Insurance companies want to see damage documented promptly, and waiting too long can complicate your claim. We’ll also provide emergency repairs if needed to prevent further damage while your claim is being processed.
Our workmanship warranty covers all labor and installation for a full five years from completion. This means if anything goes wrong due to installation issues, we’ll fix it at no charge to you.
Material warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from 20-50 years depending on what you choose. We only work with established manufacturers who stand behind their products with comprehensive coverage against defects and premature failure.
We also provide a detailed warranty document that explains exactly what’s covered and how to reach us if you ever need service. Most roofing problems that occur within the first few years are related to installation, which is why our workmanship warranty is so important for your protection.
Roof replacement costs in Elwood typically range from $12,000-$25,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials chosen, and complexity of the job. Factors like steep slopes, multiple chimneys, or extensive trim work can increase costs.
Basic asphalt shingle replacement usually falls on the lower end of that range, while premium materials like metal or synthetic slate cost more upfront but often provide better long-term value. We’ll always provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Many homeowners are surprised by hidden costs like permit fees, disposal charges, or repairs to damaged decking discovered during removal. Our estimates include these potential extras upfront so you can budget accurately. We also offer financing options to help spread costs over time if that works better for your situation.
