Hicksville Roofing Contractor
County Roofing Systems
GAF Certified, NRCA Trained, Industry-Leading Guarantees
SERVING LONG ISLAND AND NY FOR 35 YEARS
Become the Envy of Your Hicksville Neighborhood
Hicksville is one of Nassau County’s most recognizable postwar communities — and its housing stock tells that story plainly.
Those homes are now between 65 and 80 years old, and the roofing systems on them reflect the full weight of that timeline. Many have been re-roofed once or twice, some without full tear-offs, and the original deck sheathing beneath those layers- board sheathing in many cases- has absorbed decades of seasonal temperature cycling and, in some properties, water intrusion that was never properly addressed.
County Roofing Systems has served Nassau County communities for over 35 years, including Hicksville and the surrounding mid-island area. We understand the housing stock throughout this community, we work within the Town of Oyster Bay Building Department’s permit process, and we hold ourselves to the same installation standards on every job regardless of lot size or home age.
We hold elite certifications from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, placing us in the top 3% of roofing contractors nationwide, and we handle all permit requirements in-house.

ROOFING SERVICES BUILT FOR HICKSVILLE'S CLIMATE
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a Hicksville roof has reached the end of its service life — or storm damage has made repair impractical — we handle the complete replacement. That means full tear-off, thorough deck inspection with replacement of any compromised sheathing, a complete underlayment system, and new shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed. For additions and new accessory structures, we install from the ground up.
All projects are permitted through the Town of Oyster Bay Building Department. See our Roof Replacement and Roof Installation pages for full details.
ROOF REPAIR SERVICES
Roof Repair
Flashing failures, wind damage, valley leaks, and deteriorated pipe boots are the most common repair issues on Hicksville’s older homes.
We diagnose the root cause of every problem rather than patching over it, and we give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes sense or whether the roof’s age and overall condition make replacement the better call. Full details on our Roof Repair page.
EXPAND YOUR HOME
Siding
Hicksville’s older homes frequently present original aluminum, 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.
EXPAND YOUR HOME
Windows
Aging windows on Hicksville’s postwar homes are a consistent source of energy loss, drafts, and moisture infiltration. We install Marvin and Pella replacement windows with proper flashing and sealing at every opening. Details on our Window Installation page.
ASK US ABOUT OUR FREE GUTTERS & LEADERS SERVICE
Gutters
Hicksville’s established tree cover keeps gutters loaded with debris in fall and winter, and gutter systems on older homes are often undersized for modern rainfall events.
We install seamless aluminum gutters sized and positioned for proper drainage, and we address any fascia or soffit deterioration before installation. See our Gutter Installation page.

Roofing Considerations Specific to Hicksville Homeowners
Deep Postwar Housing Stock and Accumulated Repair History
Hicksville’s homes built in the late 1940s and 1950s are among the oldest standard residential construction in Nassau County, and most of them have a complicated roofing history. Multiple re-roofing cycles, partial recovers, and spot repairs over the decades create conditions at tear-off that aren’t predictable from a street-level assessment.
Board sheathing — common in homes of this era — deteriorates differently than plywood, and its condition depends heavily on whether any water intrusion has reached it over the decades. Full tear-off down to bare wood is the only way to assess it, and we document every finding before proceeding. Replacing compromised deck sections isn’t optional — it’s what determines whether the new system performs for its intended lifespan.
Cape Cods and Low-Slope Sections
Hicksville’s original cape cods frequently include low-slope sections over rear additions, enclosed porches, and dormer configurations that require different treatment than steeply pitched main sections. Low-slope areas need appropriately specified underlayment systems and careful attention at the transition points between different roof pitches.
These transitions — where a steep section meets a lower section, or where a dormer joins the main roof — are common water entry points when they’re not detailed correctly. We address every transition as a critical installation element.
Compact Lots and Neighbor Proximity
Hicksville’s dense lot pattern means tear-off debris, staging areas, and access points need to be managed carefully on nearly every job. We operate with that constraint in mind — tarping adjacent areas, managing runoff from the tear-off process, and leaving the property in the same condition we found it.
It also means gutter systems on older homes are frequently undersized or misaligned relative to what’s needed to handle discharge from typical Long Island rain events, and we address that as part of every gutter installation.
Town of Oyster Bay Building Department
All roofing work in Hicksville falls under the Town of Oyster Bay Building Department’s jurisdiction. Permits are required for replacement and certain repair scopes, and inspections must be completed before the work is closed.
County Roofing manages all permit filings and inspections on every project from start to finish.
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.

Hicksville Roofing FAQs
How long does a roof replacement take on a typical Hicksville home?
Most single-family replacements in Hicksville are completed in one to two days. Cape cods with dormer configurations, homes with deck repairs that surface at tear-off, or properties with low-slope sections requiring different underlayment systems may take longer. We give you a realistic schedule before any work begins.
Do you handle permits with the Town of Oyster Bay Building Department?
Yes. County Roofing manages all permit filings and inspections with the Town of Oyster Bay Building Department on every project. Permits are required for replacement and certain repair scopes — we handle everything from start to finish.
My home was built in the late 1940s or 1950s. What should I expect at tear-off?
Homes of that era commonly have board sheathing rather than plywood, and its condition depends on the home’s moisture history. Multiple prior roofing cycles without full tear-offs are also common, and layers of shingles can mask deck conditions that only become visible once everything comes off. We inspect every inch, document every finding, and get your approval before proceeding with any deck repairs.
My cape cod has a rear addition with a low-pitch roof section. Is that handled differently?
Yes. Low-slope sections require extended ice-and-water shield coverage and appropriate underlayment specs — different from a steeply pitched main section. The transitions between different pitch zones are also critical flashing points. We address every transition as a distinct installation detail rather than treating the whole roof as one flat task.
I've been told I can just add a new layer over my existing shingles. Is that a good idea?
It saves money upfront but creates problems on the back end. Layering prevents a proper deck inspection, adds unnecessary weight to the structure, and shortens the service life of the new installation. On homes the age of most in Hicksville, the deck needs to be looked at before anything goes over it — a recover makes that impossible.
Do you handle siding and windows as well as roofing?
Yes, we’re a full exterior contractor. We install James Hardie and CertainTeed siding, Marvin and Pella replacement windows, and seamless aluminum gutters in addition to all roofing services. Many Hicksville homeowners address multiple exterior systems in the same project cycle, and handling it under one contractor is more efficient.
What financing options are available?
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.
