Hear From Our Clients
You stop wondering if the next rain will bring water through your ceiling. You stop seeing those brown stains spread across your drywall. You stop worrying about what’s happening inside your walls while you’re at work.
A proper roof repair means the problem is actually solved, not just covered up until next season. It means the flashing around your chimney is sealed correctly. It means missing shingles are replaced with materials that match and last. It means you can sleep through a nor’easter without listening for drips.
In Deer Park, where salt air and coastal storms hit harder than most places, your roof takes a beating. Homes built in the 50s and 60s weren’t designed for the weather intensity we see now. When repairs are done right, you’re not just patching a hole. You’re protecting everything inside from the kind of damage that turns a $500 fix into a $5,000 nightmare.
Home Team Construction has spent more than 10 years working on Suffolk County homes. We’re a family-owned business that shows up when we say we will, finishes the work we start, and doesn’t disappear after the check clears.
We know the ranches and split-levels that fill Deer Park neighborhoods. We know how the salt air eats through shingles faster here than it does 20 miles inland. We know which storms cause the most damage and what that damage actually looks like when you get up on the roof.
We’re licensed, insured, and available when you need us, including emergencies. We’ve done enough roofs in this area to know what works and what doesn’t. And we document everything with photos and videos so you can see exactly what we found and what we fixed.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not from the ground with binoculars. We get up there, find the damage, and figure out what’s causing it. Sometimes it’s obvious—missing shingles, cracked flashing, a tree branch through the decking. Sometimes it’s not.
We take photos of what we find and explain what needs to happen. If it’s a simple shingle replacement, we tell you that. If the problem goes deeper—damaged underlayment, rotted decking, compromised structure—we tell you that too. You get a clear price before any work starts.
Then we fix it. We bring the right materials, do the work correctly, and clean up when we’re done. If it’s an emergency roof leak repair, we move fast. If it’s scheduled work, we show up on time. Most repairs get finished the same day.
You get documentation of the completed work. If insurance is involved, we help with that process. And if something doesn’t look right to you, we address it before we consider the job done.
Ready to get started?
Every roof repair starts with finding the real problem, not just the visible symptom. Water stains on your ceiling might come from damaged flashing three feet away from where you see the drip. We trace it back to the source.
Shingle replacement means matching your existing roof as closely as possible and installing new shingles correctly—proper nailing, correct overlap, sealed edges. Flashing repairs mean removing the old material completely, not just slapping sealant over rust. Leak repairs mean fixing what’s letting water in, plus checking for damage that’s already happened underneath.
In Deer Park and throughout Suffolk County, coastal weather accelerates roof deterioration. The same roof that lasts 30 years in Pennsylvania might fail in 15 here. Salt air strips granules off asphalt shingles faster. Wind-driven rain finds every weak point. Ice dams form in spots that don’t get enough sun.
We account for that. The materials we use—GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed—are chosen because they hold up in this climate. The techniques we use are proven to work on Long Island homes specifically. And the repairs we make are designed to last, not just get you through the next storm.
If your roof is under 20 years old and the damage is isolated to one area, repairs usually make sense. Missing shingles from a storm, a leak around the chimney, damaged flashing—these are repair situations.
If your roof is over 20 years old, has multiple problem areas, or shows widespread wear like curling shingles, bare spots where granules are gone, or sagging sections, replacement is probably the better move. Pouring money into repairs on a roof that’s near the end of its life just delays the inevitable.
We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in. There’s no point doing a $2,000 repair on a roof that needs replacing in two years. But there’s also no point replacing a roof when a $500 flashing repair solves the problem. We look at the age of your roof, the extent of the damage, and what makes financial sense for you.
We offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent situations. If your roof is actively leaking and causing damage inside your home, we prioritize getting someone out to stop the immediate problem.
Emergency response time depends on the situation—how bad the damage is, what the weather’s doing, and how many other emergencies are happening at the same time. During major storms, every roof contractor in Suffolk County is slammed. But we move as fast as we can.
The goal with emergency repairs is to stop the water intrusion and prevent further damage. That might mean tarping a section of roof, doing a temporary patch, or making a quick permanent fix if conditions allow. Then we come back when it’s safe to do a complete, proper repair. You’re not stuck with a tarp on your roof for six months.
Simple repairs like replacing a few damaged shingles run $300 to $1,500. More involved work like fixing flashing, repairing leak damage, or addressing multiple problem areas typically costs $1,500 to $7,000.
The wide range comes down to what’s actually wrong. If you’ve got three missing shingles and nothing else, that’s a quick, inexpensive fix. If water’s been leaking for months and now there’s rotted decking, damaged insulation, and mold in the attic, that’s a different situation entirely.
We give you an exact price after we inspect the damage. No ballpark estimates that turn into surprise bills later. You know what it costs before we start. And if we find additional damage once we open things up—which happens sometimes—we stop and talk to you before doing extra work.
Yes. We document storm damage thoroughly with photos and detailed notes about what’s damaged and why. That documentation helps when you file your claim.
We can meet with your insurance adjuster, explain what needs to be repaired, and provide estimates that match what insurance companies expect to see. We’ve done this enough times to know how the process works and what information adjusters need.
Some insurance companies are easy to work with. Some fight every claim. We can’t control that, but we can make sure your claim is documented properly and that the scope of work is accurate. If your adjuster misses damage or underestimates the repair, we point that out. We’re not public adjusters, but we know what storm damage looks like and what it takes to fix it correctly.
A properly done roof repair should last as long as the surrounding original roof material—assuming that material is still in decent shape. If we’re replacing shingles on a 10-year-old roof, those new shingles should last another 10 to 15 years, same as the rest of the roof.
Flashing repairs, if done correctly with quality materials, often outlast the shingles around them. The key is doing it right the first time—removing all the old material, installing new flashing properly, and sealing everything correctly.
The Suffolk County climate is tough on roofs. Salt air, nor’easters, summer heat, winter ice—it all adds up. Even the best repairs won’t last forever in these conditions. But quality work with quality materials gives you years of protection, not months. And when we repair something, we stand behind it. If there’s a problem with our work, we come back and fix it.
We handle both. Metal roof repair is different from shingle work—different materials, different techniques, different potential problems. Metal roofs typically fail at the seams, fasteners, or flashing points rather than the panels themselves.
Common metal roof issues include loose or missing fasteners, failed sealant at seams, damaged flashing, and rust spots on older roofs. We assess what’s failing, source the correct materials to match your existing roof, and make repairs that maintain the integrity of the metal roofing system.
Metal roofs generally last longer than asphalt shingles, especially in coastal areas, but they’re not maintenance-free. When problems develop, catching them early prevents water intrusion and more expensive repairs down the line. We work with standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle systems. If you’ve got a metal roof that’s leaking or showing damage, we can fix it.
