Shingle Roofing for Long Island and Westchester
Durable Roofing Shingles at an Affordable Price
Certified Shingle Master, Premium Materials, Lifetime Guarantees
SERVING LONG ISLAND AND NY FOR 35 YEARS
Transform Your Old Roof with Premium Roofing Shingles
Your shingle choice determines how long your roof lasts, how well it performs, and how your home looks.
Asphalt shingles are the most popular residential roofing option in North America. But not all asphalt shingles deliver the same performance, durability, or protection.
Cheap shingles from box stores fail in 10-15 years. Premium architectural shingles professionally installed by County Roofing last 50 years and are backed by a lifetime warranty.
With over 35 years installing every shingle type in every condition Long Island weather creates, we know what works and what doesn’t.

Shingle Installation Process
How We Install Your Roofing Shingles
County Roofing uses a custom multi-step installation process to ensure your roofing shingles are installed properly. Not just for today by decades from now.
It starts with:
1. Complete Roof Preparation
We don’t just nail new shingles over problems. We prepare your roof properly:
Remove all old roofing materials down to deck
Inspect and repair damaged roof decking
Replace rotted or soft wood before new installation
Ensure solid, dry surface for new roof system
2. Ice & Water Shield Protection
Critical protection in Long Island’s climate where ice dams and wind-driven rain pose serious risks to your roofing system:
Install along all eaves (minimum 3 feet up from edge)
Cover all valleys completely to prevent leaks
Seal around all penetrations (chimneys, vents, skylights) for protection
Extend coverage in areas prone to ice dams and exposed to elements
This self-adhesive membrane prevents water infiltration even if shingles fail—your second line of defense against leaks and damage to your roof deck and interior.
3. Premium Underlayment Installation
We install synthetic underlayment across the entire roof:
Superior tear resistance compared to felt paper
Better weather protection during installation
Won’t wrinkle or telegraph through shingles
Enhanced warranty protection
4. Drip Edge & Flashing
Proper edge treatment and penetration flashing prevents rot and leaks:
Metal drip edge along all rakes and eaves
Step flashing along walls and dormers
Valley flashing in all valleys
Chimney flashing and counter-flashing
Pipe boot seals for plumbing vents
5. Starter Course Installation
Critical first step many contractors skip or do poorly. Shingles are typically installed starting with a starter course and ending with a ridge course to ensure proper water shedding and protection:
Specialized starter shingles along eaves and rakes
Creates sealed edge preventing wind uplift and enhancing performance
Establishes straight baseline for first shingle course
Ensures proper adhesive strip engagement for durability
6. Shingle Installation Course-by-Course
Precision installation following manufacturer specs:
Snap chalk lines ensuring straight courses
Proper shingle alignment and exposure
Correct nail placement and quantity
Hand-seal shingles in high-wind areas
Quality check alignment constantly
7. Hip & Ridge Cap Installation
Specialized shingles for hips and ridges:
Ridge cap shingles along all peaks
Proper overlap and nailing
Creates continuous sealed ridge
Allows proper ventilation at ridge vent
8. Final Inspection & Cleanup
Quality assurance before we leave:
Walk entire roof checking every detail
Verify all penetrations properly sealed
Confirm no exposed nails or fasteners
Magnetic sweep removing all nails from property
Gutter cleaning and site restoration
5. Factory-Certified Installation Standards
As a GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, and CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster certified contractor, our roofing process follows manufacturer specifications exactly. This guarantees warranty protection and optimal performance for your Albertson home.
6. Critical Detail Work
We ensure proper ventilation, flashing, and drainage—the critical details that determine whether your roof lasts 15 years or 35 years. With over 35 years protecting Long Island properties, we know exactly what Albertson homes need to withstand Nassau County’s coastal climate.
7. Multi-Stage Quality Inspections
Every project includes comprehensive inspections before, during, and after installation. We catch problems before they become leaks, ensuring your roofing process delivers flawless results backed by detailed warranties on both materials and workmanship.
Asphalt Shingle Types
What Are Your Options?
Most Long Island homes use asphalt shingles—but there’s enormous variation in quality, performance, and durability within that category.
There are three main classes of asphalt shingles: strip shingles, dimensional shingles, and luxury shingles. Each offers different benefits, protection, and longevity for your roofing system.
Shingles are typically flat, rectangular shapes laid in courses from the bottom edge of the roof up. Roof shingles are installed in overlapping courses from the bottom edge of the roof up to shed water effectively. Shingles should be installed with an underlayment material to prevent leaks from wind-driven rain and snow.
Strip Shingles (3-Tab Shingles)
Strip shingles, also known as three-tab shingles, are the most basic and affordable option for residential roofing. These flat, uniform shingles have been used for decades but represent older roofing material technology.
Characteristics:
- Single-layer construction
- Flat appearance with highly visible tab pattern
- Lighter weight (easier to install)
- 20-25 year typical lifespan
- Limited wind resistance (60-70 mph ratings)
- Fewer color and style options
Best for:
- Rental properties
- Budget-conscious project needs
- Properties being flipped for resale
- Temporary roofing solutions where initial price matters
Limitations:
- Less durable than architectural shingles
- Lower wind ratings problematic for areas prone to coastal weather
- Less dimensional appearance impacts curb appeal and beauty
- Shorter warranties and warranty coverage than premium options
Dimensional Shingles (Architectural/Laminate Shingles)
Dimensional shingles, also known as architectural or laminate shingles, are made from two or more laminated layers of asphalt.
These multi-layer shingles offer superior performance, durability, and appearance. They represent current industry standard for quality residential roofing.
Characteristics:
- Multi-layer laminated construction built for longevity
- Dimensional appearance mimicking wood shake or slate
- Enhanced wind resistance (110-130 mph ratings)
- 30-50 year warranties (some “lifetime” limited warranty options)
- Superior granule adhesion and UV protection
- Extensive color and style selection
Best for:
- Long-term homeownership
- Coastal properties needing wind and impact resistance
- Homes where curb appeal and beauty matter
- Properties wanting maximum warranty coverage
Benefits over 3-tab:
- 50-100% longer lifespan and durability
- Better wind and impact resistance performance
- More attractive appearance increasing home value
- Enhanced warranties with certified installation by qualified contractors
Designer/Premium Shingles (Luxury Shingles)
Luxury shingles are high-end laminate shingles that offer greater protection from the elements and sophisticated designs.
These top-tier shingles deliver enhanced aesthetics and performance that crafted roofing systems demand.
Characteristics:
- Multi-dimensional appearance enhancing curb appeal
- Exceptional wind ratings (130+ mph) for extreme weather
- Enhanced color depth and variety
- Specialized granule technology for algae resistance
- “Lifetime” limited warranties (typically 50+ years)
- Class 3 or Class 4 impact resistance ratings for hail-prone areas
Best for:
- Luxury homes and high-end properties
- Historic homes wanting authentic appearance and beauty
- Areas prone to severe weather exposure and hail damage
- Properties prioritizing maximum performance, protection, and aesthetics
Alternative Roofing Materials Beyond Asphalt
While asphalt shingles dominate residential roofing, other roofing materials offer unique benefits for specific situations.
Roof shingles vary by material including asphalt, metal, and wood, each offering different durability, cost, and maintenance characteristics.
Wood Shingles & Wood Shakes
Wood shingles provide a natural aesthetic and last 25–40 years but require significant maintenance.
Wood shakes are typically longer and thicker than wood shingles, with shingles always being sawn and shakes normally being split.
- Initial cost ranges from $6 to $30 per square foot
- Wood is biodegradable and can be sustainable if sourced responsibly
- Require regular cleaning, staining, and sealing to prevent damage
- Natural beauty enhances certain architectural styles
- Fire risk in some areas limits installation options
Metal Shingles
Metal shingles are crafted from durable heavy-gauge aluminum and designed to emulate the classic appearance of traditional materials.
Metal shingles can last 40–70+ years and offer excellent fire and impact resistance.
- Metal roofing typically offers energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat, potentially reducing cooling costs by up to 25%
- Metal shingles require little maintenance compared to wood and asphalt
- Excellent durability and longevity make them cost-effective long-term
- Superior performance in extreme weather and elements
- Higher upfront price offset by decades of service
Slate Shingles
Slate roof shingles can last 80 to 400 years depending on the quality of the slate used and maintenance.
Slate shingles are the longest-lasting roofing material, potentially exceeding 100 years.
- Premium appearance and beauty unmatched by other materials
- Extremely heavy—requires structural reinforcement for most homes
- High installation costs but exceptional longevity
- Natural stone beauty that enhances architectural styles
- Minimal maintenance once properly installed
Composite & Synthetic Shingles
Composite or synthetic shingles are made from a blend of materials, including asphalt, fiberglass, and other polymers. These engineered products offer benefits from multiple material types.
- Plastic has been used to produce imitation slate shingles that are lightweight and durable
- Rubber shingle roofs are typically made from 95% recycled material and last twice as long as asphalt shingles
- Homeowners should consider the environmental impact of roofing materials, including their energy efficiency and recyclability
- Eco-friendly technology includes shingles with smog-reducing granules that help clean the air
- Cost-effective alternative to premium natural materials
Clay & Concrete Tiles
Clay and concrete tiles offer excellent durability for Mediterranean and Spanish architectural styles. Heavy weight requires structural assessment before installation.
- Exceptional longevity in appropriate climates
- Limited performance in freeze-thaw environments like Long Island
- High cost and installation complexity
- Distinctive beauty for specific home styles
- Fire resistance and low maintenance once installed

County Roofing replaced my aging roof and all of the gutters. Keith was truly professional, performing the estimate, supervising the work, and keeping me informed at every step. The results were beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend County Roofing Systems to anyone.
Our roof was a bit of a tricky project, but Keith’s crew handled every nuance flawlessly—right down to protecting the gutters and surrounding landscaping. The workmanship is top-tier; you can see and feel the quality in every shingle. Equally impressive, Keith was completely transparent about costs and timelines, and his quote was the most competitive we received by a mile.
I had County Roofing Systems install new vinyl siding and gutters and leaders. Keith was very professional as well as personable and really knew his craft. Keith was on site the entire time with his crew. The house came out perfect. Just want to say thanks to Keith and I would give 5 stars plus! Thanks again Keith for all your good work.
Had a fantastic experience with County Roofing! Keith was extremely thorough. He walked through every detail, explained all the color options, and offered thoughtful recommendations that made a big difference. His crew did an outstanding job, and our new roof looks absolutely amazing.
Highly recommend County Roofing to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled roofing team!
Recently had a new roof done by County Roofing, and am so thankful for having met Keith. He is fair with the price, knowledgeable about his work, patient, responsive and professional. It really was a pleasure, and I will definitely be recommending Keith and his crew to anyone I know looking to do roof work.
