In an era of cookie-cutter McMansions, nothing stands out like a well-maintained older home. But while old homes are beautiful, maintaining them can be a big challenge. These painted ladies flourished in a time without many of our modern roofing options. Keeping them up to code can be a big struggle. CertainTeed’s Carriage House architectural shingles mimic the look of scalloped natural slate or wood shake roof tiles. But they offer the durability and easy maintenance of asphalt shingles, as well as a variety of color options.
If you’re tired of constant roof leaks and roof repairs, a Carriage House roof replacement is a great investment. You not only save time and money on maintenance and repairs, you can also cut your utility bills.

At 425 pounds per square, Carriage House shingles are the heaviest CertainTeed shingles you can buy. They’re almost twice as heavy as CertainTeed’s highly-regarded Landmark shingles.
This makes them very durable, energy-efficient, and impact resistant. But it also means that your roofing contractor must take steps to ensure your house is ready to handle a heavy roof.
We have extensive experience with residential and commercial roof reframing. We can check to see if your roof can handle the weight. If not, we can make any reinforcements or roof frame changes necessary.
We do the job right the first time, so you can enjoy your new Carriage House roof with peace of mind. If you want the best roof in the business, you need to hire the best roofing specialists.
Carriage House shingles offer Class 4 fire resistance. Class 4 fire resistant shingles will withstand extended exposure to direct flames without catching fire.
This protects your home against windblown sparks and lightning strikes. But it also means that any fire which starts in your home will not spread to the roof. You and your family get valuable time to escape. Firefighters get a chance to contain the damage before the entire structure is alight.
You also get UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance with your Carriage House roof. CertainTeed designs Carriage House shingles to withstand multiple 20-foot impacts from a 2-inch steel ball without cracking or damage. This means your roof can stand up to windblown debris or hailstorms.
Carriage House roofing shingles are designed to withstand winds of up to 110 MPH. We can install your roof to withstand up to 130 MPH winds. Your roof will be safe from wind uplift and wind damage even during the worst squalls and nor’easters.
Carriage House shingles are a part of CertainTeed’s Integrity Roof System. The Integrity Roof System is a complete roof system. It accounts for everything from underlayment to shingles, accessories, flashing, and vents.
If your roofer follows every step of CertainTeed’s instructions, your new Integrity Roof will provide the best protection available. But those instructions are very detailed. Any missed steps or cut corners, and your roof no longer meets CertainTeed standards.
County Roofing is a CertainTeed certified Master Craftsman roofing contractor. We’ve installed many Integrity Roofs and our roofers are all old hands at following the instructions. When you install your Carriage House roof with County Roofers, you’re eligible for the best warranties CertainTeed offers.
Wind driven water from storms can lead to shingle damage and even deck rot. CertainTeed’s self-adhering underlayment protects your deck from rain.
To make doubly certain that your roof can handle heavy Long Island rains, CertainTeed installers then add a second layer to ensure that your roof stays watertight.
Starter Shingles at the roof edges help stop wind uplift and water infiltration.
When you choose Carriage House shingles, County Roofing installs them in accordance with CertainTeed’s instructions to ensure they stay on your roof despite inclement weather.
Our hip & ridge caps don’t just look good. They also are required for CertainTeed’s 130 MPH wind warranty.
The Integrity Roof System includes vents that help keep air circulating in the system. This prevents black mold and roof overheating that can damage your shingles.
