Hempstead Roofing Contractor
County Roofing Systems
Hempstead, NY Roofing and Home Exterior Services
SERVING LONG ISLAND AND NY FOR 35 YEARS
The Roofing Contractor Hempstead Trusts
Hempstead is one of the largest and most densely populated communities on Long Island — and the roofing demands here reflect that.
The housing stock in Hempstead is predominantly older, with a heavy concentration of capes, colonials, and multi-family homes built between the 1930s and 1960s.
Nassau County’s year-round weather cycle adds pressure to all of it — summer heat and humidity, hard freeze-thaw cycles through winter, and nor’easters that routinely bring wind-driven rain across the South Shore corridor.
County Roofing Systems has been protecting Nassau County homes for over 35 years, including Hempstead’s dense residential neighborhoods and multi-family properties. We know the home styles here, we understand the permit process through the Village of Hempstead Building Department, and we deliver the same quality on every job regardless of property size or complexity.

Our Hempstead Roofing and Home Exterior Services
We’re a full-service exterior contractor for Hempstead homeowners and property owners across every major category of exterior work.
A BEAUTIFUL NEW ROOF
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a Hempstead roof has aged beyond repair — or storm damage has compromised it structurally — we handle the complete replacement. That means full tear-off, thorough deck inspection to replace any compromised sheathing, a complete underlayment system, and new shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed.
For new additions and accessory structures, we install from the ground up. We’re fully licensed and certified and all projects are permitted through the Village of Hempstead Building Department. See our Roof Replacement and Roof Installation pages for full details.
FAST ROOF REPAIR
Roof Repair
Missing shingles, flashing failures at chimneys and dormers, valley leaks, and deteriorated pipe boots are common issues on Hempstead’s older homes. We diagnose the root cause of every problem rather than patching over symptoms, and we give you an honest assessment.
We have decades of experience with every roof type, from flat roofs to shingle roofing and more. Full details on our Roof Repair page.
EXPAND YOUR HOME
Siding
Hempstead’s older housing stock frequently presents wood or early-generation vinyl siding that has reached the end of its maintenance cycle. We install James Hardie fiber cement siding and CertainTeed vinyl across all home styles, with all flashing and trim details handled correctly for long-term performance. See our Siding Installation page.
BEAUTIFUL NEW WINDOWS
Windows
Aging windows are common in Hempstead’s older homes — a consistent source of drafts, energy loss, and moisture infiltration. We install Marvin and Pella windows with proper flashing and sealing at every opening. Details on our Window Installation page.
KEEP YOUR ROOF RUNNING SMOOTHLY
Gutters
Hempstead’s mature tree coverage and dense lot layout means gutters are constantly under load. We install seamless aluminum gutters sized and positioned for proper drainage, and we address any fascia or soffit deterioration before professional installation. See our Gutter Installation page.

Roofing Consideration for Hempstead Homeowners
These are unique factors you need to consider if you own a home in Hempstead:
Aging Housing Stock and Deck Condition
Hempstead’s residential properties skew older than most Nassau County communities, with a large share of homes built before 1960. Original board sheathing and early plywood are common, and their condition at tear-off is unpredictable.
Deteriorated or soft sections of decking must be replaced before any new roofing system goes down — skipping that step creates premature failure no matter how good the shingles are. We inspect every inch of exposed deck and report what we find before proceeding.
Flat Roof Sections on Additions and Multi-Family Properties
Many Hempstead homes have low-slope or flat roof sections over rear additions, enclosed porches, or ground-floor extensions — and multi-family properties in the area often have flat roofing across significant portions of the structure.
Flat and low-slope sections require EPDM or modified bitumen membrane systems rather than shingles, and drainage design matters as much as the membrane itself. We handle both pitched and flat roofing on the same project, so the entire property is covered under one installation and one warranty.
Village of Hempstead Permits
Hempstead is an incorporated village within the Town of Hempstead, which means all roofing permits are filed with the Village of Hempstead Building Department rather than the town.
County Roofing handles all permit filings and inspections on every project — you don’t need to navigate the process yourself.
Multi-Family and Rental Property Considerations
Hempstead has a higher concentration of multi-family and rental properties than most Long Island communities. Roofing timelines on occupied buildings require careful coordination to minimize disruption, and documentation of work completed is often required by property management or lenders.
We’re experienced with multi-family projects, provide full written documentation, and communicate proactively throughout every job.
Long Island Deserves Industry-Leading Protection
Lifetime Material, Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
CertainTeed’s lifetime-limited transferable warranty is a true industry standout. Whereas other manufacturers only warrant against defects that cause leaks, CertainTeed protects your Melville home against all manufacturing defects, including aesthetic defects.
County Roofing Systems can offer you the longest warranties available because we’re a CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, a certification only 1% of contractors qualify for.

County Roofing Systems Reviews

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.

Hempstead Roofing FAQs
How long does a roof replacement take on a typical Hempstead home?
Most single-family replacements in Hempstead are completed in one to two days. Multi-family properties or homes with flat roof sections may require additional time. Deck repairs that surface during tear-off can also extend the schedule. We give you a realistic timeline before any work begins.
Do you handle permits with the Village of Hempstead?
Yes. County Roofing manages all permit filings and inspections with the Village of Hempstead Building Department on every project. You don’t need to do anything on the permitting side.
My home has both a pitched roof and a flat section. Can you handle both in one project?
Yes. We install shingle roofing on pitched sections and EPDM or modified bitumen systems on flat and low-slope sections in a single project, so everything is installed and warranted together under one contractor.
What happens if you find rotted decking during the tear-off?
We photograph the damage, show you what we found, and give you a clear explanation before proceeding. Replacing compromised sheathing is essential — no new roofing system performs properly over a deteriorated deck. We price deck repair fairly and never inflate findings.
What shingles do you recommend for Hempstead homes?
For most Hempstead properties, GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration are our primary recommendations. Both carry 130 mph wind ratings and use enhanced granule adhesion technology that holds up well through Long Island’s weather cycle. For homes with complex rooflines or higher curb appeal goals, we can walk you through designer options as well.
Do you also handle siding and windows, or just roofing?
We’re a full exterior contractor. We install James Hardie and CertainTeed siding, Marvin and Pella replacement windows, and seamless gutters in addition to all roofing services. Many Hempstead homeowners use us for multiple exterior projects at once, which keeps the process consolidated and reduces disruption.
What financing options do you offer?
We offer financing with approvals as low as 0% interest, up to 15-year terms, with monthly payments starting at $149. Quick approval, no income check required. Ask about current offers when you call for your estimate.
