Hear From Our Clients
You know how it goes. A storm rolls through Amityville, and suddenly you’re staring at water stains on your ceiling or hearing drips in the attic. Maybe you’ve already patched it twice, or you’re just tired of wondering if this winter will be the one that finally does your roof in.
A proper roof installation means you stop playing defense. No more tarps. No more buckets. No more calling three different contractors who never show up. You get a roof built specifically for the wind, salt air, and heavy rain that hits Long Island year after year.
We’re talking about GAF materials designed to handle coastal conditions, installed by roofers who’ve spent over a decade working on homes just like yours. When the next nor’easter comes through, you’ll be the one sleeping through it instead of lying awake listening for leaks.
Home Team Construction has been fixing and replacing roofs across Suffolk County for more than 10 years. We’re not a national chain that parachutes in after a storm and disappears. We’re local roofers who understand what Amityville homeowners deal with because we deal with it too.
Every roof replacement we do comes with upfront pricing, licensed professionals, and a 50-year warranty on materials. We show up when we say we will, we finish the job without surprises, and we use the same products we’d put on our own homes.
You’re not hiring a salesperson. You’re hiring people who know how Long Island weather beats up a roof and how to build one that holds up.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a quick glance from the driveway—we get up there, check the decking, look for hidden damage, and measure everything. You get a clear estimate before we start, no fine print.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and order your materials. We use GAF shingles because they’re built for durability and come with real warranty protection. On install day, we tear off the old roof, inspect and repair any decking that’s compromised, then install your new system from underlayment to ridge cap.
Cleanup happens the same day. We use magnets to grab stray nails, haul off all the old materials, and leave your property the way we found it. You’ll have a final walkthrough so you can see the work up close, and we’ll go over your warranty paperwork so you know exactly what’s covered.
The whole process usually takes one to three days depending on your roof size and weather. If something comes up, we tell you right away—no waiting around wondering what’s happening.

Every roof installation includes full tear-off of your old shingles, inspection and repair of roof decking, ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, and GAF Timberline HDZ shingles rated for high winds. We also install proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and extend your roof’s lifespan.
Amityville sits right on the water, which means salt air, heavy wind, and more moisture than inland areas. That’s why we don’t skip steps like underlayment or flashing around chimneys and skylights. These details matter when you’re three years down the road and your neighbors are calling for repairs while your roof is still solid.
If you need gutter installation or repairs done at the same time, we handle that too. Same crew, same standards. We’re not trying to upsell you—we’re just making sure water moves off your roof and away from your foundation the way it should.
You’ll also get a transferable 50-year warranty on materials, which matters if you ever sell. Buyers notice a newer roof with warranty protection still in place, and it’s one less thing they’ll try to negotiate down.
Most roof replacements in Amityville run between $8,000 and $18,000 depending on the size of your home, the materials you choose, and whether we find any decking damage once the old shingles come off. Asphalt shingle roofs typically cost between $5 and $9 per square foot installed.
We give you a clear estimate upfront that includes labor, materials, permits, and disposal. If we find something unexpected—like rotted decking or damaged flashing—we’ll walk you through it and explain the cost before we do the work. No surprises on the final bill.
Financing is available if you’d rather spread out the payments, and some homeowners qualify for tax credits depending on the materials. We’ll help you figure out what applies to your situation so you’re not leaving money on the table.
Most residential roof installations take one to three days once we start. Smaller homes with straightforward layouts can be done in a day. Larger homes or roofs with multiple levels, chimneys, or skylights take closer to three days.
Weather plays a role too. We don’t install roofs in heavy rain or high winds because it’s not safe and it compromises the quality of the work. If we have to pause for weather, we’ll make sure your home is protected with tarps until we can get back out.
From the day you call to the day we finish, the timeline is usually one to two weeks depending on our schedule and how quickly permits come through. If you’re dealing with storm damage and need emergency repairs first, we can often get a crew out within 24 hours to tarp things off and stop further damage while we line up the full replacement.
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Amityville because they handle coastal weather well, come with strong warranties, and cost less than metal or slate. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles are what we install most often—they’re rated for winds up to 130 mph and have a Class A fire rating.
Metal roofing is another solid option if you want something that lasts 40+ years and reflects heat in the summer. It costs more upfront but requires almost no maintenance and holds up extremely well in high winds and salt air.
Slate and tile look great but they’re heavy, expensive, and not necessary for most homes unless you’re going for a specific aesthetic. For the majority of Amityville homeowners, a quality asphalt shingle roof gives you the best balance of cost, durability, and weather protection. We’ll walk you through the options based on your home, your budget, and how long you plan to stay there.
It depends on why your roof needs replacing. If storm damage caused the problem—like wind tearing off shingles or hail creating dents and cracks—your insurance will usually cover most or all of the replacement cost minus your deductible.
If your roof is just old and worn out, insurance typically won’t cover it because that’s considered normal wear and tear. Most policies also won’t cover damage that happened because of poor maintenance, like leaks that started small and got worse because they weren’t fixed.
We can help you document damage for your insurance claim. We’ll take photos, write up a detailed report, and work with your adjuster to make sure everything that needs replacing gets included. A lot of homeowners don’t realize their roof has insurance-covered damage until someone who knows what to look for gets up there and documents it properly.
Roof repair makes sense when the damage is localized—a few missing shingles after a storm, a small leak around a chimney, or flashing that’s come loose. Repairs cost a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars and can buy you a few more years if the rest of your roof is still in decent shape.
Roof replacement is what you need when the damage is widespread, your roof is over 20 years old, or you’re dealing with recurring leaks that keep coming back no matter how many times you patch them. At that point, you’re throwing money at a roof that’s past its useful life.
Here’s the honest truth: if your roof is over 15 years old and you’re calling for repairs, we’ll tell you whether a replacement makes more sense. Sometimes spending $1,200 on a repair buys you five more years. Other times, it buys you six months and you’re right back where you started. We’d rather give you the real answer upfront than take your money for a repair that won’t hold.
Yes. If a storm just tore through and your roof is leaking, we can usually get someone out within 24 hours to tarp it off and stop water from getting into your home. Emergency repairs aren’t pretty, but they prevent a $2,000 roof problem from turning into a $15,000 roof and ceiling problem.
Once we’ve got your home protected, we’ll assess the full damage and give you a plan for permanent repairs or replacement. A lot of times, storm damage that looks minor from the ground is more extensive once we get up there, so the temporary fix buys you time to deal with insurance and schedule the real work.
We keep tarps, plywood, and emergency materials on hand specifically for situations like this. You’re not waiting three weeks for us to “fit you in.” If your roof is actively leaking and causing damage inside your home, that’s a priority, and we treat it like one.
