No more buckets catching drips when it rains hard. Your heating and cooling bills stop climbing from air leaks. You sleep better knowing your family stays dry during nor’easters.
Your attic insulation stays dry instead of growing mold. Water stains stop spreading across your ceiling. You’re not scrambling to move furniture every time the forecast calls for storms.
The roof becomes what it should be: invisible. It does its job protecting your home while you focus on everything else. That’s what happens when the installation is done right the first time by roofers who’ve spent over a decade working in Suffolk County weather.
Home Team Construction has been handling roof installation and roof replacement across Selden and Suffolk County for over 10 years. We’re the roofing company Long Island homeowners call when they need their roof fixed right the first time.
We’re fully licensed and insured. We document every job with photos and videos so you see exactly what was done. Many customers hire us for multiple projects because the work holds up and we’re still here when they need us.
No runaround, no surprise costs. Just honest work from roofer contractors who understand that Long Island weather doesn’t give roofs a break—and you shouldn’t have to give your contractor one either.
First, we come out and inspect your roof. We’re looking at the decking condition, checking for any structural issues, and measuring everything. You get a clear estimate before we start so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Once you approve, we order materials. For most residential roof installation jobs in Selden, we’re talking GAF-certified shingles or metal roofing designed for coastal weather. We schedule the work around your life, not ours.
Installation day, we protect your property first—tarps, magnetic rollers for nails, the whole setup. Then we strip the old roof down to the decking, replace any damaged sections, install new underlayment, and put down your new roof using proper fastening techniques that hold up in winds over 100 mph.
We clean up completely. Every nail, every scrap. Then we walk you through the finished work and make sure you’re clear on your warranty coverage. For active leaks or storm damage, we typically respond same day or within 24 hours because water doesn’t wait.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a complete roof system, not just shingles slapped on. That means new underlayment, proper ventilation, ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, and flashing around chimneys and skylights. We handle the whole envelope.
In Selden and across Suffolk County, most homes need impact-resistant materials. Between the coastal storms and summer heat, your roof takes a beating. We use advanced adhesive seals so shingles stay put in winds up to 130 mph. For metal roofing, we’re installing standing seam systems that last 40+ years with minimal maintenance.
House gutter installation often happens alongside roof work because your drainage system matters just as much as what’s overhead. We also handle skylight installation or replacement if you’re adding natural light or fixing leaks around existing units.
The goal is simple: your roof becomes the reliable barrier it should be. You stay dry, warm, and worry-free year-round. And when the next nor’easter rolls through, you’re not wondering if this is the storm that finally causes problems.
For most homes in Selden, you’re looking at $10,000 to $20,000 for a complete asphalt shingle roof replacement. That’s based on an average home size of 1,500 to 2,000 square feet. Metal roofing runs higher—usually $15,000 to $30,000—but lasts twice as long.
The range depends on your roof’s size, pitch, and complexity. If you’ve got multiple valleys, dormers, or a steep pitch, that adds labor time. Material quality matters too. Basic three-tab shingles cost less than architectural shingles, but architectural shingles hold up better in Long Island weather.
We give you a clear estimate upfront. No surprises, no “we found this after we started” unless there’s actual hidden damage we couldn’t see until the old roof came off. And if that happens, we show you photos and explain your options before doing anything extra.
Most residential roof installations in Selden take one to three days once we start. A straightforward ranch with good weather? We’re done in a day. A two-story home with complex angles and multiple chimneys might take three days.
Weather plays a role. We don’t install roofs in rain or high winds because the work won’t hold up. If we’re halfway through and a storm rolls in, we make sure everything’s weatherproof, then finish when conditions clear.
From your first call to completion, you’re usually looking at one to two weeks total. That includes the initial inspection, estimate approval, material ordering, and installation. For emergency repairs after storm damage, we move faster—often starting within 24 hours if you’ve got active leaks.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Selden, and for good reason. They handle Suffolk County’s temperature swings, resist wind damage up to 130 mph, and last 25 to 30 years when installed correctly. They’re also the most cost-effective option for most homeowners.
Metal roofing is gaining ground, especially for homeowners planning to stay long-term. Standing seam metal roofs last 40 to 50 years, shed snow easily, and handle coastal moisture without the algae issues you sometimes see with asphalt. The upfront cost is higher, but you’re basically installing your last roof.
Slate looks great and lasts forever, but it’s heavy and expensive. Most Selden homes aren’t built for the weight without structural reinforcement. We’ll tell you honestly if your home can handle it, but for most situations, quality architectural shingles or metal roofing give you the best combination of performance and value.
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized—maybe some missing shingles from a storm or flashing that needs attention—repair usually makes sense. You’re fixing the problem without the cost of a full replacement.
But if your roof is over 20 years old, or if you’re seeing widespread issues like curling shingles, granule loss, or multiple leak points, replacement is the smarter move. You’ll spend money on repairs now, then need a new roof in a few years anyway. Better to do it once.
We’ll be straight with you about what your roof actually needs. If repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing money at a roof that’s at the end of its life, we’ll tell you that too. We’ve been doing this in Suffolk County for over a decade, and our reputation matters more than upselling you on work you don’t need.
We don’t start roof installation if rain is in the immediate forecast. But weather changes fast on Long Island, and sometimes storms show up that weren’t predicted.
If rain starts while we’re working, we immediately weatherproof whatever section is exposed. That means tarping, securing underlayment, and making sure no water gets into your home. Then we wait for conditions to clear before continuing.
Modern underlayment is water-resistant, so even if we’ve stripped your old roof and put down new underlayment, your home is protected short-term. The bigger issue is that we can’t install shingles in wet conditions—they won’t seal properly and you’ll have problems down the road. We’d rather delay a day and do it right than rush through and leave you with a roof that fails early.
Ask directly. Any legitimate roofer contractor should provide their license number and proof of insurance without hesitation. In New York, you can verify a contractor’s license through the Department of State’s online database.
Insurance matters more than most homeowners realize. If someone gets hurt on your property and the contractor doesn’t have workers’ comp, you could be liable. If they damage your home and don’t have liability coverage, you’re stuck with the bill.
We carry both workers’ compensation and general liability insurance, and we’ll show you the certificates before we start work. We’re also happy to provide references from other Selden homeowners we’ve worked with. After 10+ years in Suffolk County, we’ve got plenty of customers who’ll tell you about their experience. If a contractor hesitates on any of this, that’s your signal to keep looking.
