Hear From Our Clients
You stop worrying every time the forecast calls for heavy rain. Your attic stays dry during nor’easters, your energy bills drop because heat isn’t escaping through damaged shingles, and you’re not calling emergency roofers at midnight when the next storm rolls through.
That’s what happens when roof installation is done right the first time. You’re not patching problems every season or wondering if your ceiling will hold up when winds hit 60 mph.
Your home becomes the barrier it’s supposed to be. Water stays outside. Temperature stays controlled. Your investment holds its value because buyers see a roof that’s been installed correctly with materials designed for coastal conditions, not the cheapest option a contractor could find.
Home Team Construction has spent over 10 years installing and replacing roofs across Suffolk County. We’re licensed, insured, and we live here too, which means our work reflects on us every time a neighbor drives by.
Kings Park homes face specific challenges. Salt air from the Sound corrodes standard materials faster than most contractors expect. Winter freeze-thaw cycles crack shingles that weren’t rated for temperature swings. Summer heat bakes poorly ventilated roofs until they fail early.
We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. That’s why we use impact-resistant shingles rated for high winds, coastal-grade materials that resist algae growth in humid conditions, and installation techniques that account for Long Island’s weather patterns. You’re not getting a generic roof. You’re getting one built for where you actually live.
We start with an inspection of your current roof. You get photos of problem areas, an explanation of what’s failing and why, and a transparent estimate before any work begins. No surprises, no pressure to decide on the spot.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule around your life and Long Island weather. Our crew arrives on time, protects your property with tarps and magnetic sweeps for nails, and tears off old materials down to the decking. We inspect the substrate for rot or damage, replace any compromised sections, then install new underlayment and drip edge.
Shingles go on according to manufacturer specs, not shortcuts. Every nail is placed correctly. Flashing is sealed properly around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Ridge caps get installed to prevent wind uplift.
You receive photo updates throughout the project so you see progress even if you’re at work. When we’re done, we walk the property with a magnet to pick up stray nails, haul away all debris, and show you the completed work. Then we follow up to make sure everything performs exactly as it should.

Every roof installation includes a full tear-off of existing materials, inspection and repair of decking, new underlayment, and shingles rated for Long Island’s coastal environment. We install proper ventilation to prevent heat buildup and moisture damage. Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents gets sealed correctly to stop leaks before they start.
In Kings Park, you’re dealing with salt air that accelerates corrosion and storms that test every weak point in your roof. That’s why we use materials specifically chosen for Suffolk County conditions. Impact-resistant shingles hold up to hail and wind-blown debris. Algae-resistant options prevent the black streaks that show up on roofs near the water. Metal components are treated to resist salt corrosion.
The average cost for roof replacement on Long Island runs between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on size and materials, with most homeowners paying around $11,500 for a standard asphalt shingle roof. That investment typically returns 50% to 70% of its cost when you sell, and homes with newer roofs sell faster than those with visible wear.
You’re not just fixing a leak. You’re protecting a property worth over $700,000 in a market where buyers notice roof condition immediately.
Most residential roof installations take two to four days depending on size, complexity, and weather. A straightforward ranch with good access can be done in two days. Larger homes with multiple levels, chimneys, or skylights take longer.
Weather delays are common on Long Island. We don’t install shingles in rain or high winds because it compromises the seal and your protection. If a storm is forecast mid-project, we secure everything with tarps and resume when conditions are safe.
You’ll know the timeline upfront. We schedule around your life and keep you updated if anything changes. The goal is a roof that lasts decades, not one that’s rushed to meet an arbitrary deadline.
Architectural shingles with impact resistance and algae protection perform best in Suffolk County. They’re rated for high winds, resist the black streaks caused by humidity and salt air, and hold up to temperature swings better than standard three-tab shingles.
Metal roofing is another strong option if you want maximum durability. It sheds snow and rain efficiently, resists corrosion when properly coated, and can last 50+ years. The upfront cost is higher, but you’re looking at fewer replacements over the life of your home.
Slate and tile look great but add significant weight. Your roof structure needs to support the load, which sometimes requires reinforcement. We evaluate your home’s framing during inspection and recommend materials that match both your budget and your building’s capacity.
Yes. The Town of Smithtown, which governs Kings Park, requires building permits for roof replacement. We handle the permit process as part of our service so you don’t have to navigate town requirements or wait in line at the building department.
Permits ensure the work meets code, which protects you during resale and insurance claims. Inspectors verify that materials, ventilation, and installation meet standards designed for Long Island weather and building practices.
Skipping permits might save a few hundred dollars upfront, but it creates problems when you sell or file a claim after storm damage. Insurance companies and buyers both ask for permit records. We pull them correctly so your investment is documented and protected.
If you’re missing a few shingles after a storm or have a small leak in one area, repair usually makes sense. But if your roof is over 20 years old, showing widespread curling or cracking, or leaking in multiple spots, replacement is the smarter move.
Repeated repairs add up fast. You’re paying for service calls, temporary fixes, and materials that don’t solve the underlying problem. A roof near the end of its life will keep failing no matter how many patches you apply.
During our inspection, we show you exactly what’s happening. You see photos of problem areas, get an honest assessment of remaining life, and understand the cost difference between patching and replacing. Then you decide based on real information, not a sales pitch.
We monitor weather closely and don’t start tear-off if heavy rain is forecast. If unexpected rain hits mid-project, we immediately cover exposed areas with tarps secured against wind. Your home stays protected even when the roof is partially open.
Modern underlayment provides a waterproof barrier once it’s installed, so even if shingles aren’t complete, you have coverage. We work in sections to minimize exposure time and keep as much of your roof intact as possible until we’re ready to replace each area.
Long Island weather is unpredictable. We plan for it, prepare for delays, and prioritize keeping your home dry over rushing through the job. You won’t have water pouring into your attic because we pushed forward in bad conditions.
Yes, if your current roof has poor ventilation or damaged insulation. Heat escapes through gaps in winter, and attics overheat in summer when ventilation is inadequate. Both problems force your HVAC system to work harder.
Proper roof installation includes ridge vents, soffit vents, and adequate airflow to regulate attic temperature. When hot air can escape in summer and cold air doesn’t infiltrate in winter, your heating and cooling costs drop. Some homeowners see 10-15% reductions depending on how bad the original ventilation was.
We assess your current setup during inspection and recommend ventilation improvements as part of the installation. You’re not just getting new shingles. You’re getting a system that performs efficiently and protects your investment for the long term.
