Hear From Our Clients
You shouldn’t have to check your ceiling for water stains every time it rains hard. You shouldn’t wonder if that nor’easter finally did enough damage to cause a real problem. And you definitely shouldn’t be climbing a ladder yourself to see if those shingles are still holding on.
A properly repaired roof means you stop thinking about your roof. No more buckets in the attic. No more calling three different contractors hoping one actually shows up. No more wondering if that small leak is turning into expensive structural damage while you wait for someone to call you back.
We fix roof leaks, replace damaged shingles, repair storm damage, and handle emergency situations when Suffolk County weather hits hardest. You get clear communication about what’s wrong, what it’ll cost, and how long it’ll take. Then we fix it so you can stop worrying about it.
Home Team Construction has spent over a decade fixing roofs in Medford and throughout Suffolk County. We’re not storm chasers from out of state who disappear after the check clears. We’re local roof contractors who understand what coastal weather does to Long Island homes because we see it every season.
Our crews are licensed, insured, and trained to handle everything from minor leak repairs to full emergency storm damage response. We’ve been through enough nor’easters and hurricanes to know exactly where roofs fail and how to fix them permanently.
When you call us, you’re working with people who have a reputation to protect in this community. That means showing up when we say we will, doing the work right, and being here if you need us again.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a quick glance from the ground—a real inspection where we identify the damage, check for hidden problems, and document everything with photos. You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and why it’s happening.
Then we give you an upfront estimate. No surprises, no vague “we’ll see when we get up there” pricing. You know what you’re paying before we start. If insurance is involved, we help with that process too—we know what adjusters need to see and how to document damage properly.
Once you approve the work, we schedule it and show up on time. Our crews protect your property, fix the problem correctly, and clean up completely when we’re done. You get progress updates and photos throughout the job so you’re never wondering what’s happening.
After we finish, you get a roof that works the way it should. No callbacks, no patch jobs that fail in six months. Just solid repair work that holds up to whatever weather comes next.

We handle roof leak repair, shingle replacement, flashing repairs, storm damage fixes, and emergency tarping when you need immediate protection. Metal roof repair, flat roof repairs, and structural damage assessment are all part of what we do.
Medford homes face specific challenges. That August 2024 storm that dropped over nine inches of rain in 24 hours? We were out fixing the damage it caused. The salt air from being this close to the coast? We account for that in every repair. The way ice dams form during heavy snow? We’ve seen it hundreds of times and know how to prevent future problems.
You also get help with insurance claims when storm damage is involved. We document everything, provide detailed estimates, and work directly with adjusters who need proof that the damage is real and repair-worthy. Most homeowners don’t realize their policy covers storm damage until we walk them through it.
Every repair includes a thorough inspection of surrounding areas. If your shingles failed in one spot, we check why—and whether other sections are about to fail too. You get honest answers about whether a repair makes sense or if you’re throwing money at a roof that needs replacement.
Minor repairs like fixing a small leak or replacing a few damaged shingles typically run between $100 and $600. More complex work involving flashing, multiple problem areas, or structural damage ranges from $600 to $5,000 or more depending on what’s actually wrong.
Emergency repairs during or right after a storm cost more—usually 25% to 50% above normal rates. That’s because demand spikes, conditions are dangerous, and crews are working overtime. If you can wait until after the emergency passes, you’ll save money.
The real cost question is whether repairing makes sense or if you’re better off replacing. If you’ve already patched your roof two or three times in recent years, you’re likely spending repair money on a roof that’s going to keep failing. We’ll tell you honestly which option makes more financial sense based on your roof’s actual condition.
For true emergencies—active leaks, storm damage, or situations where your home is exposed to weather—we respond the same day when possible. Storm damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Our emergency response includes temporary protection like tarping to stop further damage while we schedule the actual repair work. This is critical because insurance companies can deny claims if you don’t take reasonable steps to prevent additional damage after the initial event.
During major storms when half of Suffolk County is calling for help, response times stretch longer. That’s reality. But we prioritize based on severity—if water is actively coming into your home, you move to the front of the line. If you’re just worried about potential damage, we’ll schedule an inspection as soon as crews are available.
Storm damage from wind, hail, falling trees, or heavy snow is typically covered by homeowners insurance. General wear and tear, age-related deterioration, or damage from lack of maintenance usually isn’t covered.
The key is documentation. Insurance adjusters need proof that a specific weather event caused the damage—not that your roof just got old and failed. We provide detailed photo documentation, written assessments, and estimates that clearly connect the damage to the storm that caused it.
Many Medford homeowners don’t realize they have coverage until we walk them through the claim process. If you have a percentage-based deductible common in coastal areas, that affects your out-of-pocket costs significantly. A $600,000 home with a 5% wind deductible means you’re paying the first $30,000 of damage yourself. We help you understand these numbers before you file a claim so you can make an informed decision about whether insurance makes sense for your specific situation.
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized to one area, repair usually makes sense. If you’re over 20 years old with multiple problem spots, or if you’ve already done several repairs in recent years, replacement is likely the smarter financial move.
Here’s the math that matters: if repair costs are approaching 30% to 40% of what a full replacement would cost, you’re better off replacing. You’re going to need a new roof soon anyway, and continuing to patch an aging system just delays the inevitable while costing you more money.
We don’t upsell replacements when repairs will actually work. But we also won’t take your money for a repair that’s going to fail again in two years. After inspecting your roof, we’ll give you honest guidance about which option makes sense based on the roof’s age, overall condition, and how much life it realistically has left. You make the final call with complete information.
Wind and water cause most of the damage we see. Nor’easters, hurricanes, and coastal storms create wind speeds that lift shingles, damage flashing, and expose your roof deck to water infiltration. Suffolk County has been hit by 45 hurricanes since 1930, and each one tests every roof in the area.
Ice dams during winter cause significant problems too. Snow melts, runs down to the cold eaves, refreezes, and creates a dam that forces water back up under your shingles. Once water gets into your roof system, it doesn’t just sit there—it travels, often causing damage in areas far from where you see the leak inside your home.
Salt air accelerates deterioration of roofing materials in coastal areas like Medford. Metal components corrode faster, shingles break down sooner, and small problems become big ones more quickly than they would inland. Regular inspections catch these issues before they turn into emergency repairs, which is why we recommend checking your roof after major storms and at least once a year even when everything seems fine.
No. Our crews are local, licensed, and directly employed. We don’t subcontract to whoever shows up after a storm looking for quick work.
This matters because storm chasers disappear. They come into neighborhoods after major weather events, do quick patch jobs, collect payment, and leave. When that repair fails six months later, good luck finding them. They’re in another state chasing another storm.
We’re here year-round because we live here. Our reputation in Medford and Suffolk County depends on doing work that lasts. If something goes wrong, you know exactly where to find us. That accountability is worth more than saving a few hundred dollars with someone who won’t be around to stand behind their work.
