Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of patching the same spots. Tired of wondering if the next coastal storm will finally do your roof in. Tired of contractors who don’t understand what salt air does to flashing and sealants.
A proper roof replacement means you stop climbing into the attic with a flashlight after every heavy rain. It means your insurance company stops sending adjusters to your door. It means you can actually sleep through a nor’easter without wondering if you’ll wake up to water damage.
The right materials, installed correctly for coastal conditions, last 15-20 years or more. That’s not marketing talk. That’s what happens when we use shingles and underlayment designed for the humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and salt exposure that come with living this close to the water. You get a roof that holds up because it was built for exactly where you live.
Home Team Construction has spent over 20 years replacing roofs across Suffolk County. We’re licensed, insured, and registered with the Better Business Bureau because we’re not going anywhere.
Blue Point sits right on the Great South Bay. That means your roof takes a beating from salt air that corrodes metal components faster than you’d see a few miles inland. It means nor’easters and summer storms that strip shingles in minutes. We deal with the same conditions on our own homes, so we know exactly what works and what fails here.
When you call, you’re talking to people who understand Blue Point’s coastal environment because we work in it every day. No runaround. No surprises. Just honest work from contractors who live in the same neighborhood.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current roof. Not just the shingles—we’re checking flashing, underlayment, ventilation, and any storm damage that might not be obvious from the ground. If you’re filing an insurance claim, we document everything properly so your carrier sees the full scope.
Once you approve the estimate, we handle all permits and schedule the work around weather windows. We’re not tearing your roof off the day before a storm hits. The old materials come off, we inspect the decking for any soft spots or damage, then install new underlayment designed for coastal moisture. New shingles go on with proper sealing techniques for high-wind areas. All flashing gets replaced—not reused. Any masonry work on chimneys gets done right, with proper crown work and caps.
The job typically takes 2-4 days depending on your home’s size and complexity. We clean up completely when we’re done. You get documentation of all work completed, warranty information for both materials and labor, and a roof that’s actually ready for Blue Point weather.

You’re getting more than new shingles. A complete roof replacement includes tear-off and disposal of all old materials, inspection and repair of any damaged decking, new underlayment rated for coastal conditions, and premium shingles with lifetime warranties. All flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights gets replaced with materials that resist salt air corrosion.
For flat roofs on garages or additions, we use membrane systems designed for standing water and UV exposure. These aren’t the same materials you’d use on a pitched roof. Flat roof replacement requires proper drainage planning and seam work that holds up when water pools during heavy rain.
Blue Point homes face specific challenges. The salt air from the Great South Bay accelerates deterioration of standard materials. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter cause expansion and contraction that breaks down sealants. Summer humidity gets under shingles that aren’t properly ventilated. We account for all of this because we’ve seen what fails and what lasts in this exact environment.
Most roof replacements here run between $8,500 and $28,000 depending on size, pitch, and material choice. That includes everything—permits, labor, materials, and cleanup. You’ll know the exact number before we start, and we work directly with insurance companies if you’re filing a storm damage claim.
Most residential roof replacements take 2-4 days from start to finish. That timeline assumes decent weather and a standard single-family home. Larger homes or complex roof designs with multiple valleys, dormers, or steep pitches take longer.
We don’t start a job if storms are forecast. Leaving your home exposed overnight with weather coming isn’t worth the risk. If rain shows up mid-project, we tarp everything properly and wait it out. That might add a day, but it’s better than rushing and doing sloppy work.
Flat roof replacement on a garage typically takes 1-2 days. The prep work and membrane installation move faster than shingled roofs, but proper seam sealing can’t be rushed. You need dry conditions for adhesives to cure correctly.
Insurance covers roof replacement if damage came from a sudden event—storm, hail, fallen tree, fire. They don’t cover wear and tear from age or neglect. If your roof is just old and tired, that’s on you.
Storm damage is common here. Nor’easters and coastal storms strip shingles and damage flashing regularly. If that happened to your roof, you likely have coverage. The key is filing quickly—most policies give you 1-2 years, but waiting makes it harder to prove the damage came from a specific storm.
We work directly with insurance companies. That means proper documentation, photos of all damage, and estimates that match what adjusters expect to see. Insurance companies sometimes miss damage or try to approve the cheapest fix that doesn’t meet code. We make sure you get what you’re entitled to under your policy. The process usually takes 2-4 weeks from claim filing to approval.
Architectural shingles rated for high winds and salt air exposure. You want materials designed for coastal environments, not standard shingles that work fine inland but fail fast near the water.
Salt air corrodes metal components—flashing, drip edges, fasteners. We use galvanized or coated materials that resist corrosion. Standard aluminum flashing rusts through in a few years this close to the Great South Bay. The upgrade costs more upfront but saves you from repairs down the road.
Underlayment matters more than most people realize. Synthetic underlayment handles moisture better than felt paper and doesn’t deteriorate as fast in humid conditions. It’s also more tear-resistant during installation when wind picks up. For flat roofs, TPO or EPDM membranes handle standing water and UV exposure better than modified bitumen. These materials last 15-20 years in coastal conditions when installed correctly. Cheap materials might save you money now, but you’ll replace them sooner.
Most homeowners pay between $8,500 and $28,000 for complete roof replacement. The range depends on your home’s size, roof pitch, material choice, and how much repair work the decking needs.
A simple ranch with a low-pitch roof and no complicated valleys runs toward the lower end. A two-story colonial with steep pitches, multiple dormers, and chimney work costs more. Flat roof replacement on a garage typically runs $2,500-$6,000 depending on size.
Premium materials cost more but last longer in Blue Point’s coastal environment. You can save money with basic shingles, but they won’t hold up as well against salt air and storm damage. Most people choose mid-grade architectural shingles with good wind ratings and warranties. That balances cost with performance. We give you exact pricing upfront after inspecting your roof. No surprises, no change orders unless you request additional work.
Yes. We document all damage thoroughly, take photos that show what the insurance adjuster needs to see, and provide detailed estimates that match industry standards for your area.
Insurance companies sometimes send adjusters who miss damage or underestimate repair costs. They might approve replacing damaged shingles but not the underlayment that also got compromised. Or they’ll suggest repairs that don’t meet current building codes. We’ve worked with every major insurance carrier and know what proper storm damage restoration requires.
We’ll meet with your adjuster if needed, explain why certain work is necessary, and advocate for repairs that actually fix the problem. Some contractors just take whatever the insurance company offers and do minimal work. That leaves you with a roof that fails again in the next storm. We make sure the claim covers what you need, then do the work right. The process adds some time upfront, but you end up with a properly restored roof and full insurance benefits.
Yes. You get a lifetime warranty on materials from the manufacturer and our workmanship warranty covering installation. That means if shingles fail due to manufacturing defects, the manufacturer replaces them. If something fails because of how we installed it, we fix it.
Material warranties vary by product. Premium shingles come with lifetime coverage that’s transferable if you sell your home. Mid-grade shingles typically have 30-50 year warranties. The fine print matters—some warranties are prorated, meaning coverage decreases over time. We explain exactly what you’re getting before you choose materials.
Our workmanship warranty covers leaks or failures caused by installation errors. That includes flashing issues, improper sealing, or any other problem that traces back to our work. We stand behind every roof we install because we’re local and not going anywhere. If something goes wrong, you’re calling someone who lives in the same community and has a reputation to protect.
