Do you have questions about roofing, siding, windows, framing, or exterior projects? Then you’ve come to the right place! Keith Hutchinson “Hutch” Schmied has spent several decades working as a Long Island roofing contractor.  Through his leadership, County Roofing Systems has grown into a leading provider of roofing, siding, windows, and other exterior home improvement and remodeling services.

A Little Roofing Knowledge
Can Save You a Lot of Hassles

Home improvement projects can be an enormous, expensive hassle. When you read Suffolk Shingles, you’ll learn more about repair and remodeling work. Our blog teaches you about roof replacement, window installation, siding renovation and other projects. It provides pointers on residential and commercial roofs, and details the process behind every job, from small roof repairs to giant commercial installations. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about a Long Island roofing contractor’s work, so you can make an informed decision. 

Today’s roofing materials employ the latest technology to make buildings safer and more energy efficient. This blog will teach you more about those materials. You’ll also learn about the technical advances we use to give you the best roof possible. Through the use of drones and sensors, we can spot damage from the ground and get immediate alerts. This lets us fix little problems before they become big ones, so you save money in the long run. 

Hutch knows customers are the center of our work. That’s why we make sure every member of our County Roofing team shares that vision. What’s more, we focus on results and strive to find the most effective, efficient, and lasting solutions to homeowner problems. Our roofing specialists are trained, educated, and certified. Modern roofing and exterior work can only be done correctly by skilled roofers. Our team knows how to install products to the most rigorous specifications. 

An Informed Client
is an Empowered Client

That’s why we provide detailed explanations of the work we propose. This includes educating our clients on the types of roof materials used, the benefits of each, and the expected longevity and maintenance requirements. By understanding the project, clients can make informed decisions that align with their long-term goals for their property. With this blog, we hope to provide information you can use when making important decisions about your building. 

Did you know that ventilation plays a key role in maintaining your roof’s health? If you didn’t until now, don’t feel bad. Many Long Island roofing contractors fail to provide adequate ventilation when installing or replacing a roof. But without proper airflow, your roof’s asphalt shingles will get overly hot in the summer. This can make them grow brittle and warped after just a few summers. In winter, a poorly ventilated roof can be prone to ice dams, one of Long Island’s most common winter roof problems. Ice dams can lead to broken gutters, warped fascias, and roof deck damage. 

If you read our blog, you’ll learn this and other important facts about your building. You’ll understand what Class A Fire Resistance means for your asphalt shingle roof and how it can stop a fire from spreading to your home. You’ll learn how to avoid warped siding in the summertime and how to tell when your window is no longer properly sealed. We love educated customers, because they know it’s important to get the best Long Island roofing contractor. And when you’re looking the best, you’re looking for the roofing experts at County Roofing Systems.
