Hear From Our Clients
You’re dealing with a roof that’s past its prime. Maybe you’ve got missing shingles after the last storm, or you’re seeing water stains on your ceiling. Maybe your asphalt shingles are curling and you know it’s only a matter of time before real problems start.
A new roof means you stop checking the forecast with dread. You stop putting buckets in the attic. You stop wondering if this is the storm that finally does serious damage to your home.
Most house roof replacement projects in East Northport take one to three days from start to finish. You get a roof that’s built for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, summer storms, and coastal weather. Your insurance company stops flagging your home. Your family stays dry. And if you’re thinking about selling in the next few years, you’ve just added serious value without the headache of negotiating roof credits at closing.
Home Team Construction is a family-owned roofing company that’s been serving Long Island homeowners for over a decade. We’re licensed and insured in Suffolk County, and we’ve replaced roofs on everything from post-war ranches to expanded Colonials throughout East Northport.
We’re not the crew that gives you a price over the phone and disappears for three weeks. We show up for the estimate, walk the roof, explain what you’re looking at, and give you a number that doesn’t change halfway through the job.
East Northport sits right in the middle of Long Island’s weather patterns, which means your roof takes a beating from nor’easters, summer humidity, and everything in between. We know what that does to shingles over time, and we know how to build a roof that holds up.
First, we come out and inspect your roof. We’re looking at shingle condition, flashing, underlayment, decking, and any signs of water intrusion. If you’re filing an insurance claim for storm damage, we document everything your adjuster needs to see.
You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, timeline, and warranty. No surprises, no add-ons later. If you’re moving forward, we schedule the work around your life, not ours.
On day one, the crew shows up early. We tear off the old roof down to the decking, inspect for any soft spots or damage, and make repairs if needed. New underlayment goes down, then starter strips, then your shingles. Flashing gets replaced around chimneys, skylights, and vents. Ridge caps go on last.
Most homes are done in one to three days depending on size and complexity. We handle the dumpster, the cleanup, and the final walkthrough. You get warranty paperwork for both labor and materials, and a roof that’s good for another 20 to 25 years.

A complete roof replacement means removing every old shingle, inspecting the decking, and rebuilding the system from scratch. That includes new underlayment, new flashing, new drip edge, new ridge vents, and new shingles rated for Long Island’s climate.
If you’ve got a flat roof over a garage or addition, we handle that too. Flat roof replacement uses different materials, typically EPDM rubber or TPO membrane, and requires proper drainage and flashing details to prevent ponding water.
East Northport homes built in the 1980s and 1990s are hitting that 25-year mark where asphalt shingles start to fail. You’ll see granule loss, curling edges, and brittleness. That’s not something you patch. That’s a full replacement, and it’s better to do it before you’re dealing with interior damage.
We also work with homeowners navigating insurance claims after storm damage. If your roof took a hit from high winds, hail, or falling branches, we document the damage, meet with your adjuster, and make sure you’re getting the coverage you’re paying for. Most policies cover sudden storm damage, and a proper claim can offset a significant portion of your replacement cost.
Most homeowners in East Northport pay between $8,000 and $15,000 for a complete asphalt shingle roof replacement, with the average landing around $11,500. That’s for a typical single-family home with a standard pitch and no major complications.
The price depends on roof size, material choice, and complexity. A simple ranch with minimal penetrations costs less than a two-story Colonial with multiple valleys, chimneys, and skylights. If we find rotted decking during tear-off, that’s an additional cost, but we flag it before we proceed.
Flat roof replacement for garages or additions runs differently because the materials and labor are different. EPDM or TPO systems are priced per square foot, and most garage roofs fall in the $2,000 to $5,000 range depending on size. We give you a written estimate before any work starts, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most roof replacements in East Northport take one to three days from start to finish. A straightforward ranch with good access can be done in a day. A larger two-story home with multiple roof lines might take two or three days.
Weather affects the timeline. We don’t install shingles in the rain, and we don’t work in high winds. If the forecast looks bad, we’ll reschedule rather than rush a job that needs to be done right.
The process moves fast once we start. Day one is usually tear-off and underlayment. Day two is shingle installation and flashing. Day three, if needed, is finishing details and cleanup. You’ll have a dumpster in your driveway during the job, but we remove it as soon as we’re done.
If your roof was damaged by a sudden weather event like high winds, hail, or falling trees, your homeowners insurance will likely cover the replacement. Policies typically cover storm damage, but they don’t cover wear and tear or roofs that failed because they were old.
The key is documentation. We take photos of missing shingles, damaged flashing, and any signs of water intrusion. When your adjuster comes out, we walk them through what happened and what needs to be replaced. Most adjusters are reasonable if the damage is clear and recent.
Your deductible applies, so if your deductible is $2,500 and your roof replacement costs $12,000, insurance covers $9,500. Some policies have separate wind and hail deductibles, which can be higher. We’ve worked with dozens of insurance companies, and we know how to document claims so you get the coverage you’re entitled to.
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice in East Northport because they balance cost, durability, and performance. Architectural shingles last 25 to 30 years in Long Island’s climate if they’re installed correctly and maintained. They handle freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and coastal humidity better than three-tab shingles.
Metal roofing lasts longer, often 40 to 50 years, but it costs significantly more upfront. It’s a good choice if you’re planning to stay in your home long-term and want to avoid another replacement. Metal also sheds snow and ice better than shingles, which matters during heavy winter storms.
Flat roofs over garages or additions use EPDM rubber or TPO membrane, which last 15 to 25 years depending on maintenance and sun exposure. Flat roofs need more attention because water doesn’t shed as easily, so proper drainage and flashing are critical. We recommend inspecting flat roofs annually to catch small issues before they turn into leaks.
If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re seeing widespread shingle damage, curling, granule loss, or multiple leaks, you need a replacement. Repairs make sense for isolated damage on a newer roof, but they’re a temporary fix on an aging system.
Storm damage is different. If you lost a few shingles in a windstorm but the rest of the roof is in good shape, we can replace those sections without tearing off the whole roof. But if the storm exposed underlying problems, like old brittle shingles or failing underlayment, a full replacement is the smarter move.
We’ll tell you honestly what you’re looking at. If repairs will buy you a few more years, we’ll say so. If you’re throwing money at a roof that’s going to fail anyway, we’ll recommend replacement. The inspection is straightforward: we look at shingle condition, check for soft spots in the decking, inspect flashing and vents, and give you a clear answer.
Yes. Roof replacement in East Northport requires a building permit from the Town of Huntington, and we handle the permit application as part of the job. The permit ensures the work meets local building codes and gets inspected after completion.
The inspection happens after the roof is finished. The building inspector checks that flashing is installed correctly, underlayment meets code, and shingles are properly fastened. Once the roof passes, you get a signed-off permit, which is important for your home’s records and for future buyers if you sell.
Some contractors skip permits to save time or avoid scrutiny. That’s a red flag. Unpermitted work can cause problems with insurance claims, home sales, and code enforcement. We pull permits on every job because it protects you and ensures the work is done to Long Island’s building standards.
