Hear From Our Clients
You know that feeling when you hear rain hitting your roof and actually feel relieved instead of worried? That’s what a properly installed roof gives you. No more wondering if that stain will get bigger or if the next storm will be the one that finally causes real damage.
Your family deserves protection that works. When we install or replace your roof in Selden, you get materials that handle Suffolk County’s 47 inches of annual rain, heavy snow loads, and those brutal summer heat cycles that crack inferior work.
The right roof doesn’t just keep water out. It regulates your home’s temperature, protects your belongings, and gives you one less thing to worry about when the weather turns nasty.
Home Team Construction has been protecting Selden families for over 10 years. We’re the roofing contractor your neighbors call when they need work done right the first time.
Being family-owned and operated in Suffolk County means we understand what Long Island weather does to roofs. We’ve seen how those sudden thunderstorms test flashing, how ice dams form when ventilation isn’t right, and why some materials hold up while others fail after just a few seasons.
When you work with us, you’re not just hiring roofers. You’re working with people who live here, raise families here, and have a reputation to protect in this community.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just a quick glance from the ground, but a real inspection that tells you what’s happening up there and why. You get a detailed explanation of what needs to be done and what it’ll cost, with no hidden fees or surprise charges later.
When we start work, we protect your property first. Tarps go down, plants get covered, and we set up equipment where it won’t damage your lawn or block your driveway. Our crew works efficiently but never rushes the details that matter.
At the end of each day, we clean up completely. That includes a magnet sweep for any stray nails because we know you have family and pets who use that yard. When the job’s finished, your roof is solid and your property looks better than when we started.

Your roof faces unique challenges in Selden. Summer heat that can reach into the 90s causes thermal expansion that cracks weak materials. Winter brings heavy snow loads and ice dams that test every seal and joint. Spring rains find every small weakness and turn it into a bigger problem.
We use materials and techniques that handle these conditions. Proper ventilation prevents ice dams and reduces heat buildup. Quality flashing keeps water out of valleys and around chimneys. The right underlayment creates a backup barrier when shingles get damaged.
Most roof repairs in our area can be completed within a day, so you’re not left vulnerable while waiting for parts or dealing with scheduling delays. When storms hit Selden, you want your roof ready, not hoping it holds up until someone can get to it.
Look for multiple missing or damaged shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, or visible sagging areas. If you can see roof deck boards through your shingles, replacement is likely needed because those shingles have lost their seal and aren’t protecting your home.
Age matters too. Most asphalt roofs in Suffolk County last 20-25 years with proper maintenance. If yours is approaching that age and you’re dealing with recurring leaks or storm damage, replacement often makes more financial sense than continuing to patch problems.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during our inspection. Sometimes a few strategic repairs buy you several more years. Other times, continuing to fix an aging roof just wastes your money when a replacement would solve the underlying issues permanently.
Architectural asphalt shingles handle our climate well and offer good value for most Selden homes. They’re designed to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, and quality versions resist wind uplift during storms.
Metal roofing is becoming more popular because it reflects heat in summer, sheds snow easily in winter, and can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. It costs more upfront but often pays for itself through energy savings and longevity.
For any material we install, proper ventilation and quality underlayment are just as important as the shingles themselves. The best shingles won’t perform if air can’t circulate properly or if moisture gets trapped in your attic during our humid summers.
Most residential roof replacements in Selden take 1-3 days depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. A typical single-family home with straightforward rooflines usually gets completed in two days if conditions cooperate.
Complex roofs with multiple levels, chimneys, or skylights take longer because proper flashing and sealing around these features can’t be rushed. We’d rather take an extra day to do the details right than leave you with potential leak points.
Weather delays happen, especially during Long Island’s storm season. We monitor forecasts carefully and won’t start tear-off if rain is expected within 24 hours. It’s better to wait a day than risk exposing your home to water damage during installation.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and understand what documentation they need to process storm damage claims. We can provide detailed damage assessments, photos, and material estimates that help support your claim.
We’ll meet with your adjuster on-site and explain what we found during our inspection. Sometimes damage that looks minor from the ground is actually extensive once we get up there and see the full scope of what the storm did.
The key is acting quickly after storm damage. Insurance companies want to see that you’ve taken steps to prevent further damage, and temporary repairs or tarping may be necessary while your claim processes. We handle both the emergency protection and the permanent repairs once your claim is approved.
Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for a minimum of five years, which means if something fails because of how we installed it, we fix it at no charge. This covers things like flashing leaks, improper ventilation, or shingles that blow off due to installation errors.
Material warranties come directly from manufacturers and typically range from 25-50 years depending on the product. We only use materials from established manufacturers who stand behind their products with real warranty support.
The most important thing is proper installation in the first place. A roof installed correctly with quality materials rarely has warranty issues. When problems do occur, we respond quickly because our reputation in Selden depends on standing behind our work long after the job is finished.
Before we start any work, we walk your property and identify plants, outdoor furniture, or other items that need protection. Tarps and plywood go down to catch debris, and we move or cover anything that could get damaged during tear-off or installation.
Our crews are trained to work cleanly and efficiently. We don’t scatter materials around your yard or leave supplies where they block your driveway or walkways. Equipment gets positioned thoughtfully so you can still access your home normally during the project.
At the end of each workday, we do a complete cleanup including a magnetic sweep for nails and metal debris. We know you have family and pets using that space, so leaving a clean, safe work area isn’t optional – it’s just how we do business in this community.
