Hear From Our Clients
You wake up to water stains spreading across your bedroom ceiling. Or you notice shingles scattered across your driveway after last night’s nor’easter. Maybe you’ve been watching that small leak near your chimney, hoping it won’t get worse before spring.
Here’s what happens when you call Home Team Construction: we answer the phone, show up when promised, assess the damage honestly, and fix it properly. No runaround about scheduling, no surprise charges that double your estimate, no temporary patches that fail when the next storm hits.
Your roof protects everything valuable inside your East Northport home. When it’s compromised, every day you wait makes the problem more expensive and potentially dangerous. We handle emergency roof repairs and routine maintenance across Long Island because we understand that weather doesn’t wait for convenient timing.
You get peace of mind knowing the repair will hold up through multiple storm seasons, not just until we drive away.
Home Team Construction has been handling roof repairs for East Northport homeowners who need reliable service, not high-pressure sales presentations. We’re the contractors who answer our phones during storms, show up with the right materials loaded in our trucks, and get your roof sealed quickly so you can stop worrying about interior damage.
Long Island homes face unique roofing challenges that contractors from other areas don’t always understand. Nor’easters with driving rain, heavy snow loads that stress roof structures, and summer storms with damaging hail all take their toll on roofing systems. We’ve seen what materials and techniques work in this climate and what fails after one season.
When your East Northport neighbors recommend us, it’s because we’ve earned that trust by doing exactly what we say we’ll do. Licensed, fully insured, and focused on keeping your home dry while treating your property with respect.
First, we thoroughly assess the damage. Not just the obvious problem you called about, but what’s causing it and what other areas might need attention before they become expensive problems. You get a clear explanation of what we found, why it happened, and exactly what it’ll cost to fix properly.
Next, we handle the repair using quality materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s weather patterns. We protect your landscaping and outdoor furniture, work efficiently to minimize disruption, and clean up completely when finished. Your property should look better than when we arrived.
Finally, we walk you through exactly what we did and provide warranty information in writing. If you’re dealing with insurance for storm damage, we document everything properly and can communicate directly with adjusters. You shouldn’t have to become a roofing expert just to get your roof fixed correctly.
The goal is solving your problem completely, not creating return visits for issues that should have been addressed the first time.

We handle everything from emergency leak repairs to complete shingle replacement projects. Flashing repair around chimneys and skylights, storm damage assessment, hail damage repair, and fixing missing shingles are all standard services we provide to East Northport homeowners.
Many homes in the area were built during the 1960s and 70s construction boom, and these properties often need flashing updates around chimney penetrations and vent areas. These vulnerable spots fail first during heavy rains, and temporary fixes rarely hold up to Long Island’s weather patterns. We use proper step flashing and waterproof membranes that integrate correctly with your existing roof system.
Missing or damaged shingles after storms need immediate attention to prevent water infiltration. What looks like a cosmetic issue can allow moisture into your roof deck and insulation, creating much bigger problems including mold growth and structural damage. We stock common shingle types and can often complete minor roof damage repair the same day you call.
Our residential roof repair specialists understand that every repair needs to blend seamlessly with your existing roof while providing long-term protection against future storms.
We typically respond to emergency roof repair calls within 2-4 hours during normal weather conditions. During major storms when multiple homes are affected, response times may extend to same-day or next-day service depending on safety conditions and call volume.
Emergency roof repairs focus on immediately stopping active leaks and preventing further water damage to your interior. We carry emergency supplies including heavy-duty tarps, roofing cement, and temporary patching materials to secure your roof quickly and effectively. Permanent repairs are scheduled once weather conditions allow for safe, quality workmanship.
For true emergencies where water is actively entering your living spaces, we prioritize these calls above routine maintenance and will work in marginal weather conditions when it’s safe to do so. Your East Northport home’s protection is our priority.
Document the damage with clear photos from ground level before anyone touches anything, then call us for a professional assessment. Never climb on your roof or attempt repairs yourself – storm-damaged roofing can be unstable and dangerous, especially when wet.
If water is actively leaking inside your home, place buckets or containers to catch drips and move valuable items away from affected areas. Check your attic space if it’s safely accessible to see if insulation is wet, which helps us determine where water is entering and how extensive the damage might be.
We’ll assess both visible damage like missing shingles and potential hidden issues such as loose flashing or compromised roof deck areas. Insurance companies require professional documentation for storm damage claims, and we provide detailed reports with photos and comprehensive repair estimates that meet their requirements.
Minor repairs like replacing a few damaged shingles or sealing small leaks typically range from $300-800 depending on materials and roof accessibility. Larger repairs involving flashing replacement around chimneys or multiple damaged areas can range from $800-2500 based on scope and complexity.
Emergency temporary repairs to stop active leaks are usually $200-500, with permanent repairs scheduled separately once conditions allow proper installation. We provide upfront, written pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying without surprise charges.
Several factors affect repair costs including roof pitch and height, specific materials needed to match your existing roof, extent of damage, and whether additional structural work is required. We don’t charge for estimates on repairs over $500, and we’ll clearly explain what drives the pricing so you understand the value you’re receiving.
Yes, we regularly work with insurance companies and can help document storm damage properly for your claim. We provide detailed estimates with photos and specific material specifications that insurance adjusters need for accurate processing and appropriate settlements.
We’ll meet with your adjuster on-site if needed and can explain the full scope of necessary repairs in terms they understand. Our estimates clearly break down labor and materials, which helps ensure you receive appropriate coverage for quality repairs that will last.
Keep in mind that insurance typically covers sudden storm damage like hail damage repair or wind-related issues, but not maintenance problems or gradual wear. We’ll help you understand what’s likely covered under your policy and what isn’t, so you can make informed decisions about proceeding with repairs.
Temporary repairs focus on immediately stopping water intrusion using heavy-duty tarps, emergency roofing cement, or temporary patches. These solutions are designed to protect your home until permanent repairs can be completed safely, but they’re not meant to last more than a few weeks or months.
Permanent repairs involve replacing damaged materials with proper roofing components, addressing underlying causes of the problem, and ensuring the repair integrates seamlessly with your existing roof system. This includes matching shingles to your current roof, proper step flashing installation around penetrations, and professional sealing techniques.
We only recommend temporary repairs when severe weather conditions prevent permanent fixes or when you need time to coordinate with insurance adjusters. All permanent repairs come with written warranties and are designed to last as long as your overall roof system, not just until the next storm season.
Most roof problems can be effectively repaired if caught early and the overall roof system is still in good structural condition. We evaluate the age of your roof, extent of current damage, and condition of surrounding areas to make an honest recommendation about repair versus replacement.
Signs that typically point toward replacement include multiple leak areas across different sections, widespread shingle deterioration, visible sagging in the roof deck, or a history of repeated repairs in the same areas. If total repair costs would approach 30-40% of full replacement cost, replacement usually makes better financial sense long-term.
We’ll give you a completely honest assessment of whether repairs will solve your problems for years to come or if you’re likely to face ongoing issues that make replacement more cost-effective. Our goal is helping you make the smartest decision for your situation and budget, not automatically selling you the most expensive option available.
