Hear From Our Clients
Your roof takes a beating from Smithtown’s coastal storms, heavy snow, and summer heat. When it fails, you’re looking at water damage, mold growth, and thousands in repairs that could have been prevented.
We install roofs that actually last. No more midnight calls about leaks. No more buckets catching drips in your living room. No more wondering if this storm will be the one that finally does your roof in.
You get a roof engineered for Long Island weather—one that keeps your family dry, your energy bills down, and your home’s value up. That’s what peace of mind looks like.
Home Team Construction has been protecting Smithtown homes for years. We understand what coastal weather does to roofs here—the salt air, the ice dams, the summer UV that cooks shingles until they crack.
Most contractors treat every roof the same. We don’t. Smithtown’s 1960s colonials need different solutions than the newer builds near Caleb Smith State Park. We’ve worked on both, and we know exactly what works in each neighborhood.
When you call us, you’re getting roofers who live and work in this community. We’re not some fly-by-night crew from three towns over. We’re your neighbors, and our reputation depends on keeping your roof solid for decades.
First, we climb up and inspect every inch of your roof. No guessing, no quick glances from the ground. We document problem areas, check flashing around chimneys and skylights, and test for soft spots that signal trouble underneath.
Next, we give you a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No surprises, no “we’ll figure it out as we go.” You know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Then we get to work. We protect your property with tarps, remove old materials carefully, and install your new roof using manufacturer-approved methods. Every nail, every shingle, every piece of flashing gets installed right the first time. When we’re done, we clean up completely—you won’t find a single nail in your driveway.
Ready to get started?
Your new roof comes with materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s climate challenges. We use impact-resistant shingles that laugh off hail, architectural-grade materials that handle wind uplift, and proper ventilation systems that prevent ice dams.
In Smithtown, where homes average 50+ years old, we often discover underlying issues during roof replacement. Rotted decking from old leaks, inadequate insulation, outdated ventilation. We fix these problems as part of the job—not as expensive add-ons you discover later.
Every installation includes comprehensive warranties: manufacturer coverage on materials for up to 30 years, plus our labor warranty that guarantees our workmanship. We also help navigate insurance claims if storm damage is involved, handling the paperwork so you don’t have to fight with adjusters.
Most residential roof replacements in Smithtown take 2-4 days, depending on your home’s size and complexity. Weather can extend this timeline—Long Island’s unpredictable storms sometimes force delays, but we’d rather wait for safe conditions than rush a job that protects your family.
We start each project by protecting your belongings with tarps and removing old materials section by section. This prevents your home from being completely exposed at any point. If weather threatens during the job, we can quickly weatherproof any open areas until conditions improve.
Complex roofs with multiple dormers, skylights, or chimneys take longer because these features require careful flashing work. We don’t cut corners on these details—they’re where most leaks start, especially in Smithtown’s harsh weather cycles.
Architectural asphalt shingles perform exceptionally well in Smithtown’s coastal environment. They resist wind uplift from nor’easters, handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, and their granule surface deflects UV rays that would otherwise break down the asphalt underneath.
For homes near the water, we recommend impact-resistant shingles rated for severe weather. These cost slightly more upfront but often qualify for insurance discounts and last longer when facing salt air and coastal storms. Metal roofing is another excellent choice for longevity, though it requires specific installation techniques to prevent noise and condensation issues.
We avoid basic 3-tab shingles in this area—they simply don’t hold up to Long Island weather. The small price difference between basic and architectural shingles pays for itself in longevity, especially when you factor in Smithtown’s property values and the cost of premature replacement.
Age is the biggest factor. If your roof is over 20 years old and showing multiple problem areas—missing shingles, curling edges, granule loss in gutters—replacement usually makes more financial sense than patching individual issues. Smithtown’s weather accelerates aging, so roofs here often need replacement sooner than the manufacturer’s estimated lifespan.
Interior signs tell the real story: water stains on ceilings, daylight visible through roof boards, or higher energy bills from poor insulation. These indicate problems beyond what surface repairs can fix. Multiple leaks, especially around flashing areas, usually mean the entire roof system is failing.
We provide honest assessments during our free inspections. If repairs will buy you several more years, we’ll recommend that route. But if you’re looking at multiple repair visits over the next few years, replacement becomes the smarter investment—especially with Smithtown’s home values where a new roof adds significant resale value.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies to streamline storm damage claims. After severe weather hits Smithtown, we document damage with photos and detailed reports that insurance adjusters need to approve claims. This documentation often makes the difference between approval and denial.
We’ve learned what local insurance companies expect to see in damage reports. Wind damage, hail impact, ice dam problems—each requires specific documentation and repair approaches. We handle the technical communication with adjusters, so you don’t have to translate between insurance language and roofing reality.
Our process includes meeting with adjusters on-site when needed, providing detailed repair estimates that match insurance requirements, and ensuring all work meets code standards that satisfy both insurers and local building departments. We also help identify damage that homeowners often miss, like compromised flashing or granule loss that isn’t immediately obvious but will cause problems later.
Our installations come with comprehensive dual warranties: manufacturer coverage on materials ranging from 25-50 years depending on the product chosen, plus our workmanship warranty covering labor and installation for a minimum of 5 years. This combination protects both the materials and the installation quality.
Manufacturer warranties cover defects in shingles, underlayment, and other roofing components. Our labor warranty covers installation issues—improper nailing, flashing problems, or ventilation mistakes that could cause leaks. If we installed it wrong, we fix it at no charge, including any damage caused by our error.
We’re selective about the manufacturers we work with, choosing companies with strong warranty support and local representation. This ensures you can actually use your warranty if needed—some manufacturers make claims difficult or require specific maintenance that’s unrealistic for homeowners. We explain exactly what’s covered and what maintenance helps preserve your warranty protection.
Roof replacement costs in Smithtown typically range from $12,000-$25,000 for most homes, depending on size, material choice, and complexity. Smithtown’s higher property values and coastal location justify investing in quality materials that last—cheaper options often end up costing more through premature failure and repeated repairs.
Several factors affect pricing: roof size and pitch, number of penetrations like chimneys and skylights, accessibility for our crews, and material selection. Architectural shingles cost more than basic options but last significantly longer in our climate. Premium materials like impact-resistant shingles or metal roofing increase upfront costs but often pay for themselves through longevity and insurance discounts.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, disposal, and permits. No hidden fees or surprise charges. We also offer financing options for qualified homeowners, because we understand that roof replacement is often an unexpected expense that shouldn’t be delayed due to budget constraints.
