Your roof stops leaking. Period. No more buckets catching drips during storms, no more wondering if that water stain will spread, and no more sleepless nights when the weather turns bad.
You get a roof that handles whatever Long Island throws at it. The nor’easters that rip through Suffolk County every winter, the summer heat that bakes shingles until they crack, the coastal storms that test every nail and seal. We know this weather because we’ve been dealing with it for over 15 years as your local roofing contractor.
When we finish your project, you’ll have documentation of everything we did, photos showing the work completed, and the confidence that comes from hiring people who actually show up and do what they promise. Your home value stays protected, your family stays dry, and you can focus on everything else that matters.
Home Team Construction has weathered 15 years of Long Island storms right alongside our neighbors in Lake Grove, NY. We’ve seen what happens when roofs fail during the big ones—the nor’easters that knock out power for days, the hurricanes that turn tree branches into missiles, the ice storms that create dams you can’t see until it’s too late.
That’s exactly why we approach every roof installation and roof repair like it’s our own house. We know the difference between a quick patch and a repair that lasts. We understand that when you call us, it’s usually not because you want to spend money on your roof—it’s because you have to.
Our customers in Lake Grove, NY and across Suffolk County keep calling us back because we do what we say we’ll do. No surprises on price, no shortcuts on materials, no disappearing acts when the job gets complicated. Just honest work from people who live here too.
We start with a real inspection, not a sales pitch. You’ll get photos of any damage we find, an explanation of what needs roof repair and why, and a written estimate with no fine print surprises.
If you decide to move forward, we handle the permits and schedule the work around your life, not ours. Our crew shows up when we say they will, protects your landscaping and property, and cleans up completely each day. No nails in your driveway, no debris scattered around your yard.
During the roof installation or repair work, we document everything with photos so you can see the progress and know exactly what you’re getting. When we’re finished, you get all the documentation for your records, warranty information, and our direct number in case you ever have questions. Most of our customers never need to call, but it’s there if you do.

Every roofing project includes a complete assessment of your current roof condition, proper material selection based on your home’s specific needs, and professional installation using proven techniques. We don’t cut corners on flashing, underlayment, or ventilation—the parts you can’t see but that determine how long your roof actually lasts.
For Lake Grove, NY homeowners, this means materials chosen specifically for our coastal climate. We account for the salt air that corrodes metal faster than inland, the freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior products, and the high winds that test every fastener. Your roof gets the same attention whether it’s a small roof repair or a complete roof replacement.
You also get our insurance claim expertise when storm damage strikes. We know how to document damage properly, what adjusters look for, and how to make sure you get the coverage you’re entitled to. After 15 years of dealing with insurance companies, we know which battles are worth fighting and how to win them.
Look for missing or damaged shingles, water stains on your ceiling, or granules collecting in your gutters. These are signs your roof is failing and needs professional attention from a qualified roofer.
However, the real answer depends on your roof’s age, the extent of damage, and your long-term plans for the house. A roof that’s 15-20 years old with multiple problem areas usually makes more financial sense to replace than patch repeatedly. We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options with real numbers so you can make the right decision for your situation.
The key is catching problems early. A small leak that gets ignored becomes rotted decking, damaged insulation, and potential mold issues that cost far more than the original roof repair would have.
Get containers under any active leaks immediately, then move anything valuable away from the affected area. Don’t go on your roof during a storm—it’s dangerous and you won’t be able to make permanent repairs in those conditions anyway.
Once it’s safe, take photos of any visible damage from the ground and document any interior damage for your insurance company. If you can safely access your attic, check for signs of water entry and place containers there too if needed.
Call us as soon as possible for emergency roof repair. We can often provide temporary protection with tarps or other coverings until permanent repairs can be made. The key is preventing additional water damage while you wait for proper weather conditions to complete the work.
Most residential roof replacements in Lake Grove, NY take 2-4 days depending on the size of your house, weather conditions, and complexity of the roofline. Simple ranch homes often get done in two days, while larger colonials or houses with multiple levels and angles take longer.
Weather is the biggest variable we can’t control. We won’t start or continue work in unsafe conditions, which sometimes means delays during Long Island’s unpredictable weather patterns. We’ll always communicate any schedule changes as soon as we know about them.
The actual timeline also depends on permit approval and material delivery, which we handle for you. We typically schedule work 2-3 weeks out during busy season, but emergency repairs get priority scheduling when needed.
Yes, we have over 20 years of experience working with insurance companies on storm damage claims. We know how to properly document damage, what information adjusters need, and how to present your claim for the best possible outcome.
We’ll meet with your adjuster, provide detailed damage assessments with photos, and make sure all necessary repairs are included in the claim. Many homeowners don’t realize that storm damage often includes more than just obvious problems—things like compromised flashing, damaged gutters, or blown-off ridge vents that aren’t immediately visible.
Our goal is to make sure you get the full coverage you’re entitled to under your policy. We handle the paperwork and documentation so you can focus on getting your home back to normal after storm damage.
Long Island’s coastal location creates unique challenges that require specific expertise from your roofing contractor. The salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components, frequent nor’easters bring sustained high winds that test every fastener, and the freeze-thaw cycles are harder on materials than steady cold climates.
We also deal with specific code requirements and permit processes that vary by township across Suffolk County. What works in other parts of New York doesn’t necessarily meet local requirements or perform well in our specific weather patterns.
Our material choices and installation techniques account for these local conditions. We use upgraded fasteners in high-wind areas, specify corrosion-resistant metals near the coast, and ensure proper ventilation for our humid summers. This local knowledge makes the difference between a roof that lasts 15 years and one that lasts 25.
Small repairs like replacing a few damaged shingles typically run $300-800, while larger repairs involving multiple areas or structural issues can range from $1,500-5,000. Emergency repairs during storms often cost more due to the urgency and difficult working conditions.
The real cost depends on the extent of damage, materials needed, and accessibility of the problem areas. A simple shingle replacement is straightforward, but if we find rotted decking or compromised flashing underneath, the scope changes significantly.
We always provide written estimates before starting work so there are no surprises. For insurance claims, we work directly with your carrier to ensure repairs are covered appropriately. The key is getting problems assessed quickly before they become more expensive to fix.
