Hear From Our Clients
You wake up knowing your roof can handle whatever nature throws at it. No more buckets catching drips during storms. No more wondering if that stain on the ceiling is getting worse.
Your energy bills drop because proper insulation and ventilation actually work. Your home value stays protected because quality roofing shows.
Most importantly, you stop worrying. When we’re done, your roof replacement gives you decades of protection, not years of problems.
Home Team Construction has been replacing roofs across Long Island for years, and we understand what works here. St. James homes face unique challenges from coastal winds, ice dams, and strict building codes.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in materials that last, crews who show up on time, and work that passes inspection the first time.
Our team lives here too. We understand that your roof replacement affects your family’s daily life, so we work efficiently and clean up completely every day.
First, we inspect your current roof and explain exactly what needs replacing. No surprises, no upselling. You get a written estimate that covers everything from permits to cleanup.
On installation day, we protect your property with tarps and remove old roofing materials completely. Full roof tear-off reveals any deck damage that needs addressing before new materials go on.
We install new underlayment, flashing, and your chosen roofing material using manufacturer specifications. Every nail, every shingle, every detail follows Long Island building codes. Daily cleanup means your yard stays usable, and final inspection ensures everything meets our standards and yours.

Asphalt shingle roof replacement uses architectural shingles rated for high winds and impact resistance. These aren’t basic three-tab shingles that blow off in storms. We install dimensional shingles that handle Long Island’s weather patterns.
Metal roof replacement offers superior durability for homes near the coast. Metal roofing resists corrosion, reflects heat to lower cooling costs, and lasts 40-50 years with minimal maintenance.
Every roof replacement includes proper ventilation systems designed for our humid summers and cold winters. Ridge vents, soffit vents, and attic ventilation prevent ice dams and moisture problems that plague Long Island homes.
Residential roof replacement cost in St. James typically ranges from $12,000 to $25,000, depending on your home’s size, roofing material choice, and complexity. Asphalt shingle replacement costs less than metal roofing, but both offer different long-term value.
Several factors affect pricing: roof size measured in squares, pitch and accessibility, number of penetrations like chimneys and skylights, and permit requirements. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs.
The investment protects your home’s value and prevents costly interior damage from leaks. Quality roof replacement pays for itself through energy savings and avoided repair costs over time.
Complete roof tear-off removes all existing roofing materials down to the deck, allowing us to inspect and repair structural issues before installing new materials. This prevents problems that overlay installations can’t address.
New roof installation includes underlayment, flashing around penetrations, drip edge, and your chosen roofing material. We also install proper ventilation systems and ensure all work meets Long Island building codes.
Cleanup and debris removal are included in every job. We use tarps to protect landscaping, magnetic sweeps to collect nails, and dumpsters for efficient material removal. Your property looks better when we leave than when we arrived.
Most residential roof replacements in St. James take 2-4 days, depending on weather, roof size, and complexity. Simple ranch homes with asphalt shingles typically finish faster than multi-story homes with multiple roof lines.
Weather delays are common on Long Island, especially during storm season. We don’t install roofing materials in rain or high winds because proper installation requires dry conditions for adhesion and safety.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your family’s routine. Daily cleanup keeps your property usable, and we communicate progress throughout the project so you know what to expect each day.
Yes, we obtain all required permits for roof replacement in St. James and coordinate inspections with local building departments. Long Island has specific requirements for roofing materials, ventilation, and installation methods.
Permit costs are included in our estimates, and we handle the paperwork and scheduling. Most roof replacements require permits, especially when structural work is involved or when upgrading ventilation systems.
Final inspections ensure your new roof meets all building codes and manufacturer specifications. We don’t consider the job complete until everything passes inspection and you’re satisfied with the work.
Architectural asphalt shingles perform well in Long Island’s climate when properly installed with adequate ventilation. Look for shingles rated for high winds and impact resistance to handle nor’easters and summer storms.
Metal roofing excels in coastal areas because it resists corrosion and reflects heat. Standing seam metal roofs handle thermal expansion and contraction better than other materials, making them ideal for our temperature swings.
Proper underlayment and ventilation matter more than shingle choice. Ice and water shield prevent ice dam damage, while ridge and soffit vents control moisture and temperature in your attic space.
Roof replacement becomes necessary when repairs cost more than half the replacement value or when multiple systems are failing. Signs include widespread shingle damage, multiple leaks, sagging areas, and granule loss across large sections.
Age matters too. Asphalt shingles typically last 20-25 years on Long Island due to weather exposure. If your roof is approaching this age and showing wear, replacement prevents emergency situations during storms.
We provide honest assessments during inspections. Sometimes targeted repairs buy you time to plan and budget for replacement. Other times, continuing repairs just delay the inevitable while risking interior damage from leaks.
