Hear From Our Clients
You stop worrying every time the forecast shows rain. No more buckets in the hallway, no more wondering if that stain on the ceiling is getting bigger, no more calling contractors who never show up.
A properly installed roof in Holbrook means your home handles everything Long Island throws at it. Summer humidity doesn’t rot your decking. Winter ice dams don’t form because your attic ventilation actually works. Spring nor’easters don’t rip shingles off because the installation was done right the first time.
You’re not dealing with the same problems every few years. You’re not paying for repairs that should’ve been prevented. You’re not stressed about whether your insurance will cover the damage because someone documented everything properly from the start.
Home Team Construction has spent over a decade working on Long Island roofs. We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners on Holbrook homes—the callbacks, the leaks that start six months after installation, the homeowners who paid twice because the first crew didn’t know how to handle coastal conditions.
We’re licensed, insured, and we show up when we say we will. Our work reflects on us in this community, which is why we don’t rush jobs or use subpar materials. When you see our trucks in your neighborhood, it’s because someone trusted us enough to let us work on their home.
You call or message us, and we schedule a time that actually works for your schedule—usually within a few days. We come out, inspect your roof, and take photos of everything. If there’s storm damage, we document it properly for insurance purposes.
You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and any additional work like decking replacement or ventilation upgrades. No vague line items, no surprises later. Most Holbrook homeowners are looking at $7,400 to $8,500 for a standard roof replacement, but your actual cost depends on your roof’s size and condition.
Once you approve the estimate, we order materials and schedule the work. On installation day, we protect your property, remove the old roof, inspect and replace any damaged decking, install proper underlayment and flashing, and put on your new shingles. We clean up completely—you shouldn’t find a single nail in your driveway. Then we walk you through the finished work and make sure you understand your warranty coverage.

Your roof replacement includes complete tear-off and disposal of old materials. We’re not layering new shingles over old problems. We inspect and replace damaged decking—and in Holbrook, we find it often, especially on older homes near the airport where moisture and salt air accelerate deterioration.
You get synthetic underlayment that won’t break down from humidity, architectural shingles rated for high winds (because Long Island gets them), and proper flashing around every penetration. Ventilation gets upgraded if needed, which matters here because inadequate airflow causes ice dams in winter and premature shingle failure year-round.
We also handle related work that often comes up during roof replacement: chimney flashing and repairs, skylight replacement or installation, gutter replacement if your existing system is failing. One crew handling everything saves you from coordinating multiple contractors and ensures all the components work together properly. If insurance is involved, we document everything and work directly with adjusters to streamline your claim.
Most Holbrook homeowners pay between $7,400 and $8,500 for a complete roof replacement on an average-sized home. That’s not a firm quote because your actual cost depends on several factors we can’t know without seeing your roof.
Roof size matters most—a 1,500 square foot ranch costs less than a 2,500 square foot colonial. Material choice affects price too. Basic architectural shingles cost less than premium options, but both perform well in Long Island’s coastal climate. The condition of your decking makes a difference. If we find rot or damage when we remove your old shingles, that decking needs replacement before we can install your new roof.
Complexity adds cost. Multiple valleys, steep pitches, several chimneys or skylights—these take more time and materials to do correctly. If your attic ventilation needs upgrading to prevent future ice dams, that’s additional work. We break all this down in your estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for high winds perform best on Holbrook homes. They resist wind uplift better than basic three-tab shingles and typically last 25-30 years when installed properly with the right underlayment and ventilation.
Long Island’s coastal location means your roof faces challenges that inland homes don’t deal with. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components like flashing and gutters. Humidity in summer and freeze-thaw cycles in winter stress roofing materials. Strong winds during storms test how well your shingles are secured.
Architectural shingles handle these conditions well without the cost of metal roofing or specialty materials. They’re thick enough to resist wind damage, rated for the weather we actually get here, and readily available if you ever need a repair. The key is proper installation—using synthetic underlayment instead of felt, installing adequate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, and securing flashing correctly around chimneys and skylights. The shingle brand matters less than the installation quality.
Most roof replacements in Holbrook take one to three days depending on your home’s size and complexity. A straightforward ranch with good access and no complications usually gets done in a day. Larger homes or those with multiple levels, steep pitches, or several chimneys and skylights take longer.
Weather affects the timeline. We don’t install roofs in rain or high winds because proper installation requires dry conditions and stable weather. If the forecast looks questionable, we’ll reschedule rather than rush work that needs to be done right.
Unexpected issues can extend the timeline too. When we remove your old roof, we sometimes find decking damage that wasn’t visible from below. We replace damaged decking before installing your new roof, which adds time but prevents problems down the road. We’ll let you know immediately if we find issues and what it means for timing and cost. Most homeowners would rather add a day to the schedule than have a roof installed over rotted wood.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and adjusters regularly. Storm damage claims are stressful enough without trying to navigate the insurance process alone, especially when adjusters are backed up after major weather events hit Long Island.
We document damage thoroughly with photos and detailed notes before starting any work. This documentation matters because insurance companies need clear evidence of storm damage versus normal wear and tear. We know what adjusters look for and how to present the information so your claim doesn’t get denied or underpaid.
When the adjuster comes out, we can meet them at your property to walk through the damage together. We’ll point out issues they might miss and explain why certain repairs are necessary. After the inspection, we work with the insurance company to ensure the claim covers all necessary work. We’ve seen too many homeowners get a payout that doesn’t cover half the actual repairs because the damage wasn’t documented properly or the scope was incomplete. We handle this process regularly and know how to get fair coverage for legitimate storm damage.
We can replace sections of your roof if the damage is localized and your existing roof is in otherwise good condition. But partial replacement only makes sense in specific situations, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s the right approach for your home.
If storm damage affected one section—say a tree fell on part of your roof—and the rest of your shingles are relatively new and in good shape, a partial replacement might work. The challenge is matching your existing shingles. If your roof is more than a few years old, we might not be able to get the exact same shingles anymore, and even if we can, new shingles won’t match the weathered appearance of your existing roof.
If your roof is older and showing wear in multiple areas, partial replacement usually doesn’t make financial sense. You’ll pay for mobilization, setup, and cleanup whether we’re replacing 200 square feet or 2,000 square feet. Then in a year or two, another section fails and you’re paying those costs again. Most homeowners save money long-term by replacing the entire roof when it’s reached the end of its lifespan rather than patching sections repeatedly. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you an honest recommendation based on your roof’s age and condition.
We stop, take photos, show you exactly what we found, and explain what needs to happen next. Damaged decking gets replaced before we continue with your roof installation—there’s no way around it because installing a new roof over compromised decking just creates bigger problems later.
Decking damage is common in Holbrook, especially on older homes or roofs that had leaks. Water rots plywood and OSB decking. Sometimes we find damage around chimneys or in valleys where water concentrated. Other times we find it near the edges where ice dams formed or ventilation was inadequate.
We replace damaged sections with new plywood or OSB that matches your existing decking thickness. The cost depends on how much needs replacement—it might be a few sheets or it might be extensive if your roof had long-term leak issues. We give you the cost for decking replacement before we proceed, and we document everything with photos for your records and for insurance if applicable. Most homeowners understand that replacing bad decking isn’t optional—it’s the foundation for your new roof and it needs to be solid.
