Hear From Our Clients
You stop worrying every time a storm rolls in off Great South Bay. No more buckets in the hallway, no more stains spreading across your ceiling, no more wondering if that leak is getting worse while you wait for someone to call you back.
Your roof does what it’s supposed to do. It keeps water out when nor’easters hit. It handles the freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior materials. It stands up to the salt air that eats through cheap flashing in a few seasons.
You know exactly what you paid for and why. No surprise charges three weeks later. No “we found something else” mid-project unless we actually found something that matters. Just the work you agreed to, finished on schedule, with your property left cleaner than we found it.
And when the next storm comes through, you’re not scrambling for emergency roof repair. You’re not one of the homeowners frantically searching for local roofers at midnight because water’s coming through the bedroom ceiling. You handled it right the first time.
Home Team Construction has worked in North Great River since 2002. We’re not a crew that shows up after every storm trying to sell you a roof you don’t need. We’re the company your neighbors call when they actually have a problem.
We know what salt air does to flashing. We know how ice dams form on homes built in the ’60s and ’70s that make up most of this area. We know the difference between storm damage that insurance will cover and normal wear that’s just part of owning a $700,000 home near the water.
Most of our customers are on their third, fourth, or fifth project with us. Not because their roofs keep failing, but because when they need work done on their gutters, siding, or chimney, they remember we showed up on time and did what we said we’d do.
You call or fill out the form. We schedule an inspection at a time that works for you, not just when we have a gap in our route. One of our roofers comes out, gets on your roof, and actually looks at what’s happening. We’re not selling you anything during this visit.
After the inspection, you get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it. If you need a full replacement, we tell you. If you need a repair that’ll buy you five more years, we tell you that too. You get upfront pricing with everything included. No “we’ll know more once we open it up” unless we’re dealing with hidden damage that’s genuinely impossible to see from the surface.
Once you approve the work, we schedule it around your life. We protect your property before we start, document everything with photos as we go, and clean up completely when we’re done. You’re not finding nails in your driveway three months later.
If we’re dealing with storm damage, we help with the insurance paperwork. We know what adjusters look for and how to document damage so your claim doesn’t get denied over missing details.
Ready to get started?
Every roofing project starts with a thorough inspection. We check your shingles, flashing, ventilation, gutters, and anything else that affects how water moves off your roof. In North Great River, that means paying special attention to corrosion from salt air and damage from the temperature swings between 23°F winters and 81°F summers.
For repairs, we fix the actual problem, not just the symptom. When water shows up in your living room, the leak might be 15 feet away from where you see the stain. We find where water’s getting in and seal it properly with materials rated for coastal conditions.
For replacements, we remove your old roof completely, inspect the decking for soft spots or rot, replace any damaged sections, install new underlayment, and put down shingles designed to last 20-30 years in this climate. We install proper ventilation to prevent ice dams and use corrosion-resistant flashing that won’t fail in five years.
Most full replacements on North Great River homes run between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on size and pitch. That’s for quality asphalt shingles installed correctly. We’ll discuss other options if you want metal roofing or premium materials, but we don’t upsell you into something you don’t need just to pad the invoice.
If your roof is under 15 years old and you’re dealing with isolated damage from a recent storm or a few problem areas, repair usually makes sense. You’re looking at a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars to fix specific leaks, replace damaged shingles, or reseal flashing that’s failed.
If your roof is over 20 years old, you’re seeing widespread shingle damage, or you’ve already repaired multiple leaks in the past few years, replacement is usually the smarter move. You’re not throwing good money after bad trying to patch a roof that’s at the end of its life.
The honest answer comes from actually looking at your roof. We’ll tell you which way makes more financial sense based on what we see, not based on which job is bigger for us. Sometimes that means talking you out of a replacement you don’t need yet.
Most homeowners in North Great River pay between $8,000 and $15,000 for a complete roof replacement with quality asphalt shingles. The range depends on your home’s size, roof pitch, number of layers we’re removing, and how much decking needs replacement once we get the old roof off.
A typical 2,000 square foot home with a standard pitch runs around $10,000 to $12,000. Steeper roofs cost more because they’re harder to work on safely. If you’ve got multiple layers of old shingles, removal costs go up. If we find rotted decking underneath, that’s additional material and labor.
We give you the full price upfront after we inspect your roof. That number includes removal, disposal, new materials, labor, and cleanup. The only time the price changes is if we uncover hidden damage that was impossible to see until we removed the old roof, and we’ll show you exactly what we found before doing any additional work.
Most roof replacements in North Great River take two to four days of actual work. Day one is removal and inspection of the decking. Day two and three are installation of underlayment, shingles, flashing, and ventilation. Day four is final inspection, cleanup, and making sure we didn’t miss anything.
Weather affects the timeline. We don’t install roofing in rain or high winds because the materials won’t seal properly and it’s not safe for our crew. If we’re scheduled to start on Tuesday and a storm comes through, we reschedule rather than rush through a job that won’t hold up.
From the day you approve the estimate to the day we finish, you’re usually looking at two to three weeks. That includes scheduling, material delivery, and the actual work. If you need emergency roof repair after storm damage, we can often get a temporary fix in place within a few days while we schedule the full job.
Yes. We document storm damage with photos and detailed notes that insurance adjusters need to approve your claim. We know what they’re looking for and how to present the damage so you’re not fighting with your insurance company over whether the leak qualifies.
We’ll meet with the adjuster when they inspect your roof if you want us there. We can point out damage they might miss and explain why certain repairs are necessary. We’ve worked with every major insurance company that covers homes in North Great River, so we know their processes.
What we don’t do is promise to “cover your deductible” or tell you we’ll get insurance to pay for a whole new roof when you’ve only got minor damage. Those are red flags for insurance fraud, and they put you at risk. We document legitimate damage, help you file a proper claim, and let the insurance company make their decision based on facts.
Salt air from Great South Bay accelerates corrosion on metal flashing and fasteners. Cheap materials that last 25 years inland might fail in 15 years here. We use corrosion-resistant flashing and galvanized or stainless fasteners that hold up in coastal conditions.
Temperature swings from winter to summer cause expansion and contraction that stress roofing materials. North Great River sees temperatures from the low 20s to the low 80s, and that repeated cycle cracks shingles and opens up seals faster than in more stable climates. We install shingles rated for these temperature ranges and use proper underlayment that flexes without tearing.
Nor’easters dump heavy snow loads and drive rain sideways into places it normally wouldn’t reach. Ice dams form on homes with poor attic ventilation, forcing water under shingles and into your home. We pay special attention to ventilation and ice dam prevention when we work on roofs in this area because we’ve seen what happens when those details get skipped.
Check how long they’ve actually been working in North Great River. A company that’s been here for years knows the local challenges and has a reputation they need to protect. Storm chasers show up after every hurricane, do fast work, and disappear before problems show up.
Ask for a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. If someone gives you a number without getting on your roof or asks for a large deposit upfront, keep looking. Legitimate roofing companies inspect first, provide clear pricing, and don’t need half the money before they start.
Talk to them about what happens if they find additional damage once they remove your old roof. A good contractor explains the process for handling unexpected issues, shows you the problem, and gets your approval before adding costs. If they can’t give you a straight answer about their process, they’re probably not someone you want on your roof.
