Hear From Our Clients
You’re dealing with shingles that curl after every freeze-thaw cycle. Water finds its way into your attic during heavy rain. Your insurance company keeps raising premiums because your roof hit 20 years old.
A new roof installation fixes all of that. You stop worrying about the next storm. You stop calling for emergency repairs that cost $1,500 each time. Your insurance premiums drop because carriers actually reward newer roofs with lower rates.
Most Deer Park homeowners see their energy bills go down too. Old roofs leak air, which means your HVAC works overtime in summer and winter. New shingles with proper ventilation keep your home comfortable without burning through electricity.
Home Team Construction has spent over 10 years installing roofs across Suffolk County. We’re licensed contractors who actually live in the neighborhoods we serve, which means we’ve seen what Long Island weather does to every type of shingle and metal roof system.
When storms roll through Deer Park, we’re the roofer contractor homeowners call because we show up fast. No two-week wait times like the national companies. We come out the same day, walk your roof, and give you a clear estimate before any work starts.
Our crew includes skilled roofers and masons who handle everything from asphalt shingle installation to metal roofing and gutter systems. You get one team for the whole job, not a revolving door of subcontractors.
You call us or fill out a contact form. We schedule a same-day visit to inspect your roof and measure the job. You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Once you approve the estimate, we order materials and schedule your installation. Most residential roof replacements in Deer Park take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. We tear off old shingles, inspect the decking for damage, make any necessary repairs, then install new underlayment and shingles rated for high winds.
We handle permits, cleanup, and final inspection. You don’t deal with debris in your yard or nails in your driveway. When we finish, your roof is ready to handle the next nor’easter without leaking, and you get documentation for your insurance company showing the installation date and materials used.

Every roof installation includes complete tear-off of old materials, inspection and repair of roof decking, new ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, and architectural shingles engineered to withstand winds up to 130 mph. That matters in Deer Park where coastal storms hit hard and fast.
We install proper ventilation systems because Long Island homes deal with extreme temperature swings. Poor ventilation causes shingles to fail early and drives up cooling costs in summer. You get ridge vents, soffit vents, or whatever your attic needs to breathe correctly.
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys gets replaced with new materials. Most roof leaks in Suffolk County start at flashing points, not shingles. We also inspect and replace pipe boots, which crack over time and let water straight into your walls.
You receive documentation showing installation date, materials used, and warranty information. Insurance companies in New York often reduce premiums for roofs under 10 years old, and you’ll need proof of installation date to claim that discount.
Most roof installations in Deer Park run between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on size, pitch, and materials. A typical colonial-style home with 2,000 square feet of roof space usually falls around $10,000 to $12,000 for quality architectural shingles.
That price includes tear-off, disposal, new underlayment, shingles, flashing, and ventilation. Steeper roofs cost more because they take longer and require more safety equipment. If we find rotted decking during tear-off, that’s additional material and labor.
Metal roofing costs more upfront but lasts 40-50 years compared to 20-25 for asphalt shingles. Some Deer Park homeowners choose metal for durability and insurance discounts. We walk through all options during the estimate so you can decide what makes sense for your budget and how long you plan to stay in the house.
Most residential roof installations in Deer Park take 1-3 days from start to finish. A straightforward ranch or cape with easy access gets done in one long day. Larger colonials with multiple levels or complex roof lines take 2-3 days.
Weather affects the timeline. We don’t install shingles in rain or high winds because adhesive strips need dry conditions to seal properly. If storms roll through mid-job, we tarp everything and resume when conditions clear.
We start early and work full days to minimize disruption. You’ll hear noise during tear-off and nailing, but you don’t need to leave your house. Most homeowners go about their normal routine while we work. We clean up at the end of each day so you’re not walking around debris.
Yes, most insurance carriers in New York reduce premiums for newer roofs. Older roofs get hit with age surcharges that can add 40% or more to your base premium. A roof under 10 years old typically qualifies for standard rates without surcharges.
Some carriers offer additional discounts for impact-resistant shingles rated for hail and wind damage. We install shingles that meet those requirements if you want to maximize insurance savings. You’ll need documentation showing installation date and materials, which we provide after the job.
Call your insurance agent before and after installation to confirm the discount. Some Deer Park homeowners save $500-$1,000 per year on premiums with a new roof. That adds up over 10-15 years and offsets a significant portion of the installation cost.
Architectural shingles rated for high winds perform best in Deer Park. Long Island gets nor’easters with sustained winds over 60 mph and gusts much higher. Standard 3-tab shingles blow off in those conditions. Architectural shingles with wind ratings of 110-130 mph stay put.
We typically install GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning architectural shingles because they carry strong warranties and hold up to temperature swings. Long Island summers hit 90+ degrees, winters drop below freezing, and that expansion-contraction cycle cracks cheap shingles within 10 years.
Metal roofing is another option if you want maximum durability. Standing seam metal roofs last 40-50 years and handle high winds better than any shingle. They cost more upfront but require almost no maintenance and many insurance companies offer additional discounts for metal roofs in coastal areas.
It depends on the age and overall condition of your roof. If your roof is under 10 years old and the leak is isolated to damaged flashing or a few missing shingles, a repair makes sense. We fix the problem area and you’re good for another decade.
If your roof is over 15 years old and showing other signs of wear like curling shingles, granule loss, or multiple soft spots in the decking, a full replacement saves you money long-term. You’ll keep paying for repairs every year or two, and each leak risks interior damage to ceilings, insulation, and walls.
We inspect the entire roof during our visit and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense. Some roofers push replacement on every job. We’d rather fix what needs fixing and build a relationship so you call us when you actually need a new roof.
Yes, we install roofs year-round in Deer Park as long as temperatures stay above freezing and conditions are dry. Asphalt shingles need temperatures above 40 degrees for the adhesive strips to seal properly. Cold weather slows that process but doesn’t prevent it.
Winter installations sometimes work in your favor. Roofing companies are less busy between November and March, which means shorter wait times and sometimes lower labor rates. If your roof is leaking now, waiting until spring just gives water more time to damage your decking and interior.
We don’t work in ice, snow, or freezing rain because it’s unsafe and shingles won’t seal. But plenty of winter days in Long Island hit 45-50 degrees with clear skies. Those are perfect conditions for roof installation, and you get your leak fixed before the next storm instead of dealing with tarps and buckets for four more months.
