Hear From Our Clients
You shouldn’t have to wonder if your roof will hold up every time a storm rolls through. That sinking feeling when you see dark clouds forming or hear wind picking up at night means something’s already wrong.
A roof that’s installed correctly with the right materials for coastal Long Island doesn’t keep you up at night. You’re not climbing into the attic with a flashlight looking for water stains. You’re not calling around for emergency roof repair after every nor’easter.
When your roof is built to handle salt air, temperature swings from the low 20s to the low 80s, and the hurricane threats that hit Suffolk County regularly, you stop worrying about it. You get back to your life. That’s what a local roofing company that understands Gordon Heights weather should deliver.
Home Team Construction has been serving Gordon Heights and the surrounding Mastic area for over a decade. Alban and his crew aren’t storm chasers who show up after a hurricane and disappear when problems arise.
We’re based at 74 Patchogue Avenue. We know what Gordon Heights homeowners deal with because we see the same weather, the same coastal conditions, and the same housing stock you do. Over 82% of homes here are owner-occupied, which means most of our neighbors have real skin in the game when it comes to protecting their investment.
Our 5-star rating across HomeAdvisor and Angi comes from showing up on time, pricing jobs honestly before we start, and doing the work right so you don’t have to call us back. Every crew member is licensed and insured. Every job gets documented with photos so you see exactly what we did, even when you’re not home.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a quick glance from the driveway—we get up there, check the shingles, flashing, valleys, and any spots where water typically finds its way in. We take photos and show you what we’re seeing.
Then we give you a clear estimate. No vague “we’ll know more once we get started” language. You know what the job costs before we touch a single shingle. If we find something unexpected once we’re into it, we stop and talk to you before adding anything to the scope.
During the work, we document everything. You get progress photos. If you’re not home, you still see what’s happening. We pull the proper permits, follow Suffolk County building codes, and make sure everything is done so it passes inspection and doesn’t come back to bite you when you sell.
After we finish, we walk the property with you. We show you what we did, answer your questions, and make sure you’re clear on the warranty. Then we clean up like we were never there—except for the new roof that actually protects your home.
Ready to get started?
We handle everything from emergency storm damage to full roof replacements. If you’ve got missing shingles after a windstorm, we can get out there fast. If your roof is 20+ years old and you’re seeing granules in the gutters or daylight through the attic boards, we’ll walk you through whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget.
Gordon Heights homes face specific challenges. The salt air from being this close to the coast breaks down roofing materials faster than inland areas. Since 1930, 45 hurricanes have hit Suffolk County. Your roof needs to be engineered for that reality, not just slapped together with whatever’s on sale.
We also handle the related systems that keep water out of your home—gutters, skylights, chimney flashing, siding repairs. A lot of what people think is a roof leak is actually a gutter problem or failed flashing around a chimney. We look at the whole system because that’s what actually keeps your home dry.
The average roof replacement on Long Island runs between $9,000 and $18,000 for a standard-sized home in 2026. That’s a real number based on current material costs and labor rates. If someone quotes you $5,000 for a full replacement, they’re either cutting corners on materials, skipping permits, or planning to hit you with change orders once they start. We price it right from the beginning so there are no surprises.
Most residential roof replacements take two to four days depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the roof design, and weather conditions. A straightforward ranch with a simple gable roof might be done in two days. A larger two-story home with multiple valleys, skylights, or chimney penetrations takes longer.
We don’t rush the job to hit an arbitrary deadline. Proper installation matters more than speed. That means taking time to install underlayment correctly, ensuring flashing is sealed properly around chimneys and vents, and making sure every shingle is nailed according to manufacturer specs so your warranty stays valid.
Weather delays happen, especially during spring and fall when Suffolk County gets unpredictable storms rolling through. If conditions aren’t safe or if rain is coming, we’ll pause and reschedule rather than risk doing substandard work or leaving your home exposed.
Architectural shingles rated for high wind resistance are the most common choice for Gordon Heights homes, and for good reason. They’re engineered to handle the coastal wind conditions we get here, they come with solid warranties, and they’re priced reasonably compared to premium materials.
Metal roofing is gaining popularity because it handles salt air well, sheds snow and ice effectively, and can last 40+ years with minimal maintenance. The upfront cost is higher—sometimes double what architectural shingles run—but if you’re planning to stay in your home long-term, the math can work out.
Avoid basic three-tab shingles in this area. They’re cheaper initially, but they don’t hold up to the wind and temperature swings we see on Long Island. You’ll end up replacing them sooner, which costs more in the long run. The goal is to install a roof once and not think about it again for 20-25 years.
Yes, and skipping them creates problems you don’t want. Suffolk County requires permits for roof replacements and major repairs. If a building inspector discovers unpermitted work—during a home sale inspection, after storm damage, or during unrelated work—you’re the one who’s responsible, not the contractor who’s long gone.
You’ll face fines, plus you’ll have to obtain after-the-fact permits, which often means bringing the work up to current code even if it was done years ago. That gets expensive fast. Worse, unpermitted work can kill a home sale or give buyers leverage to demand price reductions.
We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure everything passes. It’s built into our process because we know you’re not selling your home next month—you might be selling it in ten years, and we don’t want our work coming back to create problems for you then.
Age is the first indicator. If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re starting to see issues, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. You’re not just fixing today’s problem—you’re buying yourself another 20-25 years of protection.
Look for these signs that point toward replacement: curling or missing shingles in multiple areas, granules collecting in gutters, daylight visible through attic boards, or sagging sections. If the damage is widespread, repair costs start approaching replacement costs anyway, and you’re still left with an aging roof.
Limited damage from a recent storm—a few missing shingles, one area of flashing that failed—that’s usually repairable. We’ll be straight with you about which makes more financial sense. We’re not trying to upsell you into a full replacement if a repair genuinely solves your problem. But we’re also not going to patch an old roof repeatedly when replacement is the smarter long-term move.
Emergency repairs for storm damage typically run $500 to $2,000 depending on the extent of the damage and how much material needs replacing. A full roof replacement on a standard-sized Gordon Heights home generally falls between $9,000 and $18,000 in 2026, though larger homes or premium materials can push that higher.
That price includes tearing off the old roof, installing new underlayment, putting on new shingles, replacing flashing around chimneys and vents, cleaning up all debris, and pulling the proper permits. If someone’s quoting you significantly less, ask what’s not included. Are they layering new shingles over old ones? Skipping the underlayment? Using substandard materials? Not pulling permits?
We give you the full price upfront. No “we’ll know more once we get started” uncertainty. You know what you’re paying before we begin. If we discover something unexpected—rotted decking that needs replacing, structural issues—we stop and discuss it with you before adding any costs.
Yes. We know storms don’t wait for business hours, and neither does the damage they cause. If you’ve got missing shingles, a tarp situation, or active leaking after a nor’easter or tropical storm, we prioritize getting someone out to assess the damage and make temporary repairs to prevent further water intrusion.
Emergency response means we’re securing your home first—tarping exposed areas, replacing missing shingles, sealing obvious entry points. Then we give you a full assessment of what permanent repairs look like and what they’ll cost. Insurance often covers storm damage, and we can work with your adjuster to document everything properly.
The key is calling a local roofing company that’s actually going to be here next month, not a storm chaser who appeared in your neighborhood the day after the weather cleared. We’re based in Mastic, we’ve been serving Gordon Heights for over a decade, and we’ll still be here if you need us two years from now.
