Hear From Our Clients
Your roof becomes the reliable barrier it should be. No more buckets in the hallway during rainstorms. No more wondering if that stain on the ceiling is getting bigger.
You stop worrying about what the next nor’easter will do to your home. The drip is gone, the damaged shingles are replaced, and your insulation stays dry where it belongs.
When coastal winds pick up or a summer storm rolls through, you’re not scrambling for tarps or calling around for someone who’ll actually pick up the phone. Your roof is solid, and you know it. That’s what happens when the repair is done right the first time by roof contractors who’ve been doing this work in Flanders for over a decade.
Home Team Construction has been serving Flanders and Suffolk County long enough to know what the coastal climate does to your roof. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, summer humidity, wind gusts that hit 50 mph during storms—this isn’t theory for us.
Every crew member is licensed and insured. Alban, the owner, runs jobs himself and keeps you updated with photos and progress reports throughout the process. No disappearing acts, no subcontractors you’ve never met.
You’ll find us working on homes throughout Flanders, from older colonials near Hubbard County Park to newer builds closer to Route 24. When your neighbor asks who fixed your roof, you’ll have a name you’re confident recommending.
You call or submit a request. If it’s an emergency roof repair situation—active leak, storm damage, missing shingles—we respond the same day. For scheduled work, we’ll set up a time that works for you within 48 hours.
We inspect your roof in person, not over the phone. That means getting up there to check flashing, underlayment, shingle condition, and any hidden damage you can’t see from the ground. Most homeowners don’t realize their roof needs attention until water starts dripping through the ceiling, but by then you’re looking at damaged insulation and rotted framing.
Once we know what’s wrong, you get a transparent estimate before any work starts. No surprises, no upselling. If your roof leak repair requires replacing a section of decking or fixing a valley, we’ll explain why and show you the damage.
Then we fix it using materials built for Long Island weather—wind-resistant shingles, proper flashing, moisture barriers that hold up in humidity. You get photo updates as we go, and a follow-up summary when the job’s done so you have documentation for your records.

Roof repairs in Flanders mean dealing with specific challenges. Coastal wind damage is common here—even moderate gusts compromise shingle integrity over time, and a nor’easter can rip off entire sections. We handle storm damage, wind-lifted shingles, and the hidden problems that come with them.
Metal roof repair is different from asphalt. Fasteners loosen, seams separate, and panels expand and contract with temperature swings. If you’ve got a metal roof, we know how to seal it properly and prevent future leaks without creating new problems.
Roof leak repair isn’t just about stopping water. It’s about finding where the water’s getting in, which isn’t always obvious. A leak in your living room might be coming from damaged flashing fifteen feet away. We trace it back, fix the source, and check for any secondary damage to insulation or framing.
You also get help with insurance documentation if the damage is storm-related. We’ll photograph everything, provide detailed estimates, and answer questions from your adjuster. Suffolk County has strict permit requirements for certain repairs, and we handle that process so you don’t have to figure it out yourself.
Same day for true emergencies. If water is actively coming into your home or you’ve got storm damage that’s exposed your roof to the elements, we treat that as priority-one.
Storm damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Most emergency calls get a response within two to four hours, depending on the severity of the situation and our current job schedule. If we’re already on another emergency, we’ll tell you an honest timeframe and help you secure the area with tarps if needed.
For non-emergency roof repairs—like a small leak that only shows up during heavy rain or a few damaged shingles you noticed during yard work—we’ll schedule an inspection within 48 hours. That’s usually fast enough to prevent the problem from getting worse, and it lets us give you full attention instead of rushing through your job.
Roof repair makes sense when the damage is localized and the rest of your roof is in decent shape. If you’ve got a leak in one area, storm damage to a section of shingles, or flashing that’s failed around your chimney, repair is usually the right call.
Roof replacement becomes necessary when the damage is widespread, your shingles are at the end of their lifespan, or you’re dealing with repeated leaks in multiple areas. If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re starting to see granule loss, curling shingles, or multiple problem spots, replacement is often more cost-effective than patching things every few months.
We’ll tell you honestly which one you need during the inspection. If repair will buy you another five to seven years and replacement can wait, we’ll say that. If your roof is failing and repair is just delaying the inevitable, we’ll explain why replacement makes more sense now. You’ll get a clear recommendation based on what we actually see, not what’s more profitable for us.
Yes, and we’ll document everything your insurance company needs to process the claim. That includes detailed photos of the damage, written estimates that break down materials and labor, and a timeline of when the damage occurred if we can determine it.
Most homeowners don’t realize how specific insurance companies are about documentation. Your adjuster needs to see proof that the damage was caused by a covered event—wind, hail, falling tree—and not just normal wear and tear. We know what they’re looking for because we’ve worked with adjusters from every major carrier operating in Suffolk County.
We can’t guarantee your claim will be approved, but we can make sure you’re submitting complete information that gives you the best chance. If your claim gets denied and you disagree with the decision, we’ll provide additional documentation to support your appeal. We’ve seen plenty of initial denials get overturned once the insurance company has all the facts.
Minor repairs—like replacing a few damaged shingles or resealing flashing—usually run between $300 and $900. That covers straightforward fixes where the damage is easy to access and doesn’t involve underlying structure.
Moderate repairs, like fixing a valley, replacing a section of decking, or addressing multiple leak points, typically cost between $1,000 and $3,000. This range includes situations where we need to remove shingles, repair what’s underneath, and reinstall new materials.
Major storm damage that affects large sections of your roof can run $5,000 or more, especially if there’s structural damage to framing or extensive water damage to insulation. At that point, you’re often looking at whether repair or replacement makes more sense financially.
Keep in mind that emergency roof repair calls, after-hours service, permit fees, and debris removal can add to the base cost. We’ll give you a complete estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Coastal weather. Flanders sits close enough to the water that salt air, humidity, and wind patterns create specific challenges you don’t see inland. Salt accelerates corrosion on metal flashing and fasteners. Humidity promotes algae growth and speeds up shingle deterioration. Wind gusts during coastal storms are consistently stronger here than in areas just twenty miles north.
That means the materials we use and the installation methods we follow have to account for these conditions. Standard flashing might last fifteen years in central Long Island but fail in seven years here. Shingles need higher wind ratings. Underlayment needs better moisture resistance.
Suffolk County also has strict building codes and permit requirements that vary by town. Some roof repairs in Flanders require permits that wouldn’t be necessary in other areas, and inspections have to meet local standards. We handle that process because we’ve been doing this work here long enough to know exactly what the building department expects.
We handle both. Metal roof repair requires different skills and materials than asphalt shingle work, but it’s something we do regularly throughout Flanders and Suffolk County.
Metal roofs fail differently than shingles. You’re usually dealing with fastener issues, separated seams, or panels that have expanded and contracted so many times the attachment points have loosened. Sometimes it’s corrosion from salt air eating through the coating. Other times it’s improper installation from years ago finally causing problems.
The repair process involves resealing seams with the right type of sealant for your specific metal roofing material, replacing corroded fasteners with stainless steel versions that resist salt air, and sometimes replacing entire panels if the damage is too extensive. We don’t use generic fixes that might work short-term but fail again in six months. Metal roofs can last 40-plus years if they’re maintained correctly, and our repairs are designed to preserve that lifespan.
