You shouldn’t have to rush around with buckets every time the forecast calls for rain. You shouldn’t wonder if that ceiling stain is getting worse or if your attic insulation is soaking up water you can’t see yet.
A solid roof repair means you stop thinking about your roof altogether. No more checking the weather app with dread. No more climbing into the attic with a flashlight after every storm.
Your home stays dry. Your belongings stay protected. And when those coastal nor’easters roll through Stony Brook—and they will—you’re not scrambling to find emergency roof repair at 2 a.m. You already handled it.
Home Team Construction is a family-owned roofing company that’s been working throughout Suffolk County for over 20 years. We’re licensed, insured, and we live in the same communities we serve.
We know what Long Island weather does to roofs. The salt air from the Sound, the ice dams from February storms, the wind-driven rain that finds every weak spot in your shingles. We’ve seen it all, and more importantly, we’ve fixed it all.
When you call, you’re talking to people who understand Stony Brook homes—not a call center three states away. We show up when we say we will, we document everything for your records, and we don’t leave until the job’s done right.
First, we actually answer the phone. Then we schedule a time that works for you—usually within 24 to 48 hours, or same-day if it’s an emergency.
We inspect your roof thoroughly. Not just the obvious problem spot, but the whole system—shingles, flashing, valleys, penetrations. We take photos and videos so you can see exactly what we’re seeing. If you’re filing an insurance claim, we document everything your adjuster will need.
You get a clear estimate before we start any work. No surprises, no upselling. If we find additional damage once we’re up there, we talk to you first.
Then our licensed crews get to work. We use quality materials that hold up to coastal weather, and we don’t cut corners. When we’re done, we walk you through what we did, clean up completely, and make sure you’re satisfied. You get copies of all documentation, warranties, and photos for your records.

We handle everything from small roof leak repairs to complete shingle replacement. That includes fixing storm damage, replacing missing or damaged shingles, repairing or replacing flashing around chimneys and vents, fixing valley leaks, and addressing any structural issues we find.
Suffolk County gets hit hard by weather. Since 1930, we’ve had 45 hurricanes pass through, plus countless nor’easters and ice storms. Your roof takes a beating from wind, salt spray, temperature swings, and UV exposure. Standard asphalt shingles that might last 30 years elsewhere often only make it 15 to 20 years here.
We also coordinate with your insurance company if you’re filing a storm damage claim. Roof-related claims made up over a quarter of all residential claim value in 2024, and insurance companies want specific documentation. We know what they need, and we provide it.
Whether you need metal roof repair, emergency leak fixes, or a full tear-off and replacement, we handle residential roofing, siding, gutters, chimneys, and masonry. One contractor for your whole exterior means less coordination hassle for you.
We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within 24 hours, often same-day if you call early enough. When you’ve got water coming through your ceiling, every hour matters.
The longer water sits in your attic or walls, the more damage it causes—ruined insulation, rotted framing, mold growth, damaged ceilings. What starts as a few hundred dollar shingle repair can turn into thousands in structural work if you wait.
If you call us during a major storm when half of Suffolk County is flooding, response times might stretch a bit longer. But we’ll be honest about timing, and we’ll talk you through temporary measures you can take to minimize damage until we can get there. We don’t ghost you or leave you wondering.
It depends on your policy, your deductible, and the cause of damage. Most homeowners insurance covers sudden storm damage—wind, hail, falling trees—but not gradual wear and tear or lack of maintenance.
Here’s what matters: you need to contact your insurance company within 24 to 48 hours of discovering damage. Take photos if it’s safe to do so. Don’t start repairs until the adjuster sees it, unless it’s an emergency that requires temporary tarping to prevent further damage.
We work with insurance companies regularly and know what documentation they require. We can provide detailed estimates, photo evidence, and material specifications that match what adjusters expect to see. That said, we work for you, not your insurance company. Our job is to fix your roof properly, whether insurance covers it fully or you’re paying out of pocket.
Small repairs—replacing a few shingles, fixing a flashing leak, sealing a small penetration—usually take a few hours to half a day. You’re often looking at a morning or afternoon job.
Larger repairs involving multiple areas, valley work, or structural fixes might take one to three days depending on scope and weather. A full roof replacement typically takes two to five days for most Stony Brook homes.
Weather plays a big role. We can’t install shingles in heavy rain or on icy roofs. If conditions aren’t safe or won’t allow proper installation, we’ll reschedule rather than do subpar work. We’ll keep you updated throughout and give you realistic timelines upfront, not best-case scenarios that we can’t actually meet.
If damage is localized—a section of shingles blown off, a leak around your chimney, one problem area—repair usually makes sense. You’re looking at a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on scope.
Replacement makes more sense when your roof is near the end of its lifespan (15-plus years in coastal Long Island), when you have widespread damage across multiple areas, or when you’re dealing with repeated leaks in different spots. At that point, you’re throwing good money after bad with patchwork repairs.
We’ll be straight with you about which makes financial sense. If your roof has 10 years of life left and you’ve got one leak, we’re not going to push a $15,000 replacement. But if your shingles are curling, you’ve got granule loss across the whole roof, and we’re finding rot in multiple spots, repair is just delaying the inevitable. We’ll show you what we’re seeing and let you make the call.
We handle roofing, siding, gutters, chimneys, masonry, skylights, and decks. That’s actually an advantage for you because roof problems rarely exist in isolation.
A roof leak might be caused by damaged flashing, but it could also be clogged gutters causing water backup, or a chimney that needs repointing. When one contractor can assess and fix all of those systems, you get better diagnosis and you’re not coordinating three different companies.
We’ve been doing complete exterior work on Long Island homes since 2002. Our crews are licensed for all of it, so whether you need roof repairs now and gutter replacement later, or you want to handle multiple projects at once, we can do it. One estimate, one timeline, one company you’re accountable to if anything goes wrong.
Small repairs—replacing a few shingles, fixing minor flashing leaks—typically run $300 to $800. Moderate repairs involving larger sections, valley work, or multiple problem areas usually fall between $800 and $2,500. Extensive repairs that involve structural work, large sections of decking replacement, or multiple systems can run $2,500 to $6,000 or more.
Every roof is different. Pitch, height, accessibility, material type, and extent of damage all affect cost. A ranch with easy roof access costs less per square foot than a steep two-story colonial.
We give you a clear written estimate before starting work. No “we’ll figure it out as we go” pricing. If we uncover additional damage once we’re into the job—rotted decking hidden under shingles, for example—we stop and talk to you before proceeding. You’ll know what you’re paying and why.
