Hear From Our Clients
Most roof repairs fail because contractors treat symptoms instead of causes. You call about a leak, they slap some sealant on a shingle, and six months later you’re dealing with the same problem—or worse.
We approach every repair differently. Before we touch anything, we trace exactly where water is getting in and why. That stain on your ceiling might be coming from damaged flashing around your chimney, not the obvious missing shingle you spotted from the ground.
When we’re done, your roof actually stops leaking. You get back to worrying about normal things instead of checking the weather forecast every time it might rain.
Home Team Construction has been fixing roofs in Fort Salonga for years. We’ve seen what Long Island’s coastal storms, nor’easters, and those sudden summer downpours do to homes in this area.
Living here means dealing with weather that most contractors don’t understand. The salt air that corrodes flashing faster than inland areas. The wind patterns that lift shingles in ways that surprise contractors from other regions. The way water moves differently on roofs near the coast.
We’re the local team that gets called when other contractors can’t figure out why a repair isn’t holding. We’re licensed, insured, and we actually answer our phones when you need us.
First, we inspect your entire roof system—not just the obvious problem area. Water travels in surprising ways, and the leak you see inside often starts somewhere completely different outside.
We use proper diagnostic techniques to trace the actual source. Sometimes that means checking flashing around chimneys and skylights. Sometimes it means looking at how your gutters are draining. Sometimes it’s as simple as a few missing shingles, but we verify that before we start.
Then we fix it right. We use materials designed for Fort Salonga’s weather conditions and install them properly. Most of our repairs get completed the same day, and we clean up completely when we’re done. You get a detailed explanation of what we found and what we fixed, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.

Every roof repair includes a complete assessment of your roof’s condition, not just the immediate problem. We check for potential issues that could become expensive problems later, especially after Fort Salonga’s frequent storms.
Our repairs cover everything from emergency leak fixes to shingle replacement, flashing repair around chimneys and skylights, and storm damage restoration. We work directly with your insurance company when storm damage is involved, providing the documentation they need and advocating for proper coverage.
Fort Salonga homes face unique challenges from coastal weather patterns. We select materials and techniques specifically for these conditions—wind-resistant shingles, corrosion-resistant flashing, and proper sealing methods that hold up against the salt air and sudden weather changes that define Long Island’s climate.
We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within hours, not days. When your roof is actively leaking, waiting until next week isn’t an option—water damage gets worse by the hour.
For true emergencies, we can often provide temporary protection the same day you call, then return to complete permanent repairs as soon as weather permits. We keep emergency materials stocked specifically for situations like storm damage or sudden leaks that can’t wait for a normal appointment.
Most repair failures happen because contractors fix what they can see instead of what’s actually causing the problem. A water stain on your ceiling doesn’t necessarily mean the leak is directly above it—water can travel along rafters and beams before it drips down.
We trace leaks to their actual source using proper diagnostic techniques. That might mean checking flashing, examining how gutters drain, or looking at areas where different roof planes meet. When we identify and fix the real cause, repairs last because we’re not just covering up symptoms.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and help document damage properly for claims. After major storms like the record-breaking rainfall Fort Salonga experienced in August 2024, proper documentation is crucial for getting fair coverage.
We take detailed photos, provide written assessments of damage, and can meet with insurance adjusters to explain what needs repair and why. Many homeowners don’t realize their insurance covers more than they initially think, and we help ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to.
Fort Salonga’s coastal location creates specific challenges that inland contractors often miss. The salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components like flashing and gutters. Wind patterns near the coast create uplift forces that can lift shingles in ways that surprise contractors from other regions.
We select materials and installation techniques specifically for these conditions. That means using corrosion-resistant flashing, wind-rated shingles, and sealing methods that account for the expansion and contraction caused by temperature swings near the water. Understanding these local factors is the difference between repairs that last and repairs that fail during the next storm.
The age of your roof, extent of damage, and number of previous repairs all factor into this decision. If you’re dealing with multiple leaks, widespread shingle damage, or repairs that keep failing, replacement might actually be more cost-effective than continued patching.
We provide honest assessments based on your roof’s actual condition, not what we’d prefer to sell you. Sometimes a targeted repair solves the problem completely. Sometimes we find underlying issues that make replacement the smarter long-term choice. We explain what we find and let you make the decision that makes sense for your situation and budget.
First, stay safe—don’t climb on a damaged roof or go outside during severe weather. Document any visible damage with photos from the ground for insurance purposes, and call us as soon as it’s safe to do so.
If water is actively leaking inside, use buckets to catch drips and move valuable items away from affected areas. Avoid using electrical fixtures near active leaks. We can often provide emergency tarping or temporary repairs to prevent further damage while we arrange permanent fixes. The key is acting quickly—water damage spreads fast and gets expensive when left unchecked.
