Hear From Our Clients
You check the weather app differently now. Every nor’easter warning makes you wonder if this is the storm that finally does real damage. You’ve already patched things twice, and you’re tired of wondering when the next leak will show up.
A proper roof installation changes that. You stop climbing into the attic with a flashlight after heavy rain. You stop calling for emergency repairs every season. Your home stays dry, your belongings stay protected, and you actually sleep through storms instead of lying awake listening for drips.
The right roof handles what Long Island throws at it. Salt air, high winds, ice dams, heavy snow loads. When it’s installed correctly with materials built for coastal conditions, you’re not just covering your house. You’re done dealing with temporary fixes that never actually solve the problem.
Home Team Construction has been handling roof installations across Suffolk County for years. We’re not a national chain that shows up, does the work, and disappears. We’re local roofers who understand exactly what Mount Sinai weather does to your roof because we deal with the same storms you do.
Our crews are licensed, insured, and trained specifically for Long Island’s coastal conditions. We’ve replaced roofs damaged by nor’easters, repaired what shingle roofers couldn’t fix right the first time, and helped homeowners who got burned by contractors who never finished the job.
When you call us, you’re talking to people who know your neighborhood. We’ve worked on homes near Cedar Beach, handled storm damage throughout the North Shore, and built a reputation by actually showing up when we say we will.
First, we come out to look at your roof in person. Not a quick glance from the driveway. We get up there, check the decking, look for damage you can’t see from the ground, and measure everything properly. You get a clear estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline before we start anything.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the work around your life and the weather. Our crew shows up on time, protects your property, and tears off the old roof down to the decking. If we find rot or structural issues underneath, we tell you immediately and explain what needs to happen next.
Then we install new underlayment, flashing, and shingles designed for coastal exposure. We’re not rushing to finish three jobs in one day. We’re making sure your roof is installed right so it actually lasts. You get photo updates as we go, and we walk you through the finished work before we leave. The site gets cleaned up completely, and you get warranties on both materials and our installation work.

Every roof installation we do in Mount Sinai includes complete tear-off and disposal of your old roof. We don’t just layer over existing problems. You’re getting new underlayment rated for high winds, properly installed flashing around chimneys and valleys, and architectural shingles that hold up to salt air and coastal storms.
We also handle the details most homeowners don’t think about until something goes wrong. Proper ventilation to prevent ice dams during Long Island winters. Drip edge installation to protect your fascia. Starter strips along the edges where wind damage usually starts. These aren’t upsells or extras. They’re part of doing the job correctly.
Mount Sinai homes face specific challenges because of the location. You’re close enough to the water that salt air accelerates wear on certain materials. You get hit harder by nor’easters than homes further inland. We account for that when we’re selecting materials and planning the installation. Your roof needs to handle more than average conditions, so we don’t install it like an average roof.
Most roof installations in Mount Sinai run between $8,000 and $15,000 for a typical single-family home. The actual cost depends on your roof’s size, pitch, and what we find when we remove the old shingles.
If your decking is rotted or damaged, that adds to the cost because we have to replace those sections before installing the new roof. Steeper roofs take longer and require more safety equipment, which affects labor costs. Homes with multiple chimneys, skylights, or complex valley systems cost more because there’s more detail work involved.
We give you an upfront estimate that breaks everything down before we start. No surprises halfway through the job. If we discover additional damage during tear-off, we stop and discuss it with you before moving forward. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Most roof installations take two to four days depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. We’re not rushing through it, but we’re also not dragging it out for weeks.
Day one is usually tear-off and inspection of the decking. If everything looks good, we start installing underlayment and flashing. Days two and three are shingle installation, and the final day is cleanup and a walkthrough with you to make sure everything’s done right.
Weather delays happen, especially during Long Island’s unpredictable spring and fall seasons. If conditions aren’t safe or if rain is coming, we’ll reschedule rather than risk doing poor work. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process so you always know where things stand.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice for Mount Sinai homes because they balance cost, durability, and wind resistance. We typically recommend shingles rated for high winds, which matters when you’re this close to the coast.
Metal roofing is another option if you want something that lasts longer and handles salt air even better than asphalt. It costs more upfront but requires less maintenance over time. Some homeowners near the harbor go this route because they’re tired of replacing shingles every 15 years.
We don’t recommend the cheapest three-tab shingles for coastal locations. They don’t hold up as well to wind and weather, and you’ll end up replacing them sooner. Spending a bit more on quality materials now saves you from doing this again in ten years.
Yes. If you have active leaking or storm damage that needs immediate attention, we’ll get someone out to assess the situation and provide temporary protection while we schedule permanent repairs.
Emergency repairs usually involve tarping the damaged area to prevent water from getting into your home until we can do the full repair or replacement. We’re not going to leave you with a tarp on your roof for six months. We’ll schedule the permanent work as soon as possible.
Storm damage is common in Mount Sinai, especially after nor’easters and high wind events. We’ve seen everything from a few missing shingles to entire sections of roof torn off. The key is addressing it quickly before water damage spreads to your decking, insulation, and interior ceilings.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured to handle roof installations throughout Suffolk County, including Mount Sinai. That protects you if something goes wrong during the job.
Our crews carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. If someone gets injured on your property or if there’s accidental damage during installation, you’re not liable. Some contractors skip proper insurance to keep their prices lower, which puts you at serious risk.
We can provide proof of insurance before we start work. Any legitimate roofer contractor should be able to do the same. If someone can’t show you current insurance certificates, that’s a red flag.
You get two warranties with every roof installation we do. The manufacturer’s warranty covers the shingles themselves, usually for 25 to 50 years depending on which product you choose. That warranty is transferable if you sell your home.
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation for several years. If something fails because of how we installed it, we come back and fix it at no cost to you. That doesn’t cover damage from falling trees or extreme weather events, but it does cover installation errors.
Make sure you understand what’s covered before you sign anything. Some contractors offer lifetime warranties that sound great but have so many exclusions they’re basically worthless. We’d rather be honest about what’s actually covered than overpromise and underdeliver.
