#1 Rated Glen Head Roofing Contractor
County Roofing Systems
Glen Head Roofing and Home Exterior Services
SERVING LONG ISLAND AND NY FOR 35 YEARS
Transform Your Old Glen Head Roof
Glen Head is one of Nassau County’s most established North Shore communities — and the homes here reflect that history.
The housing stock in Glen Head runs heavily toward Colonials, Tudors, and split-levels built from the 1950s through the 1970s, many on wooded lots that create their own roofing challenges: heavy shade that promotes moss and algae growth, debris accumulation in valleys and gutters, and branch overhang that accelerates shingle wear.
Add Long Island’s year-round freeze-thaw cycles, nor’easter wind events, and the cold wind exposure that comes with North Shore positioning on the Long Island Sound, and you have a demanding environment for any roof.
County Roofing Systems has been protecting Nassau County homes for over 35 years — including the North Shore communities along the Oyster Bay corridor. We understand how these homes age, how the local climate stresses them, and what it takes to do the job properly.
We hold elite certifications from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed — placing us in the top 3% of roofing contractors nationwide — and we handle all Town of Oyster Bay permit requirements in-house.

How Our Roofing Process Works
- Complete deck preparation — We remove all existing materials down to bare wood, inspect the deck for rot, soft spots, or deteriorated sheathing, and replace any compromised sections before proceeding
- GAF WeatherWatch ice-and-water shield — Applied along all eaves (minimum 3 feet from the edge), through every valley, and around all penetrations including chimneys, skylights, and pipe boots. Critical on North Shore homes prone to ice dam formation
- GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment — Installed across the remaining deck for superior tear resistance and weather protection during the installation window
- Drip edge and flashing — Aluminum drip edge along all rakes and eaves; step and counter flashing at walls and dormers; valley flashing; pipe boot seals at all plumbing penetrations; chimney flashing and counter-flashing
- GAF Pro-Start starter course — Specialized starter shingles installed along eaves and rakes, creating a sealed edge that resists wind uplift and establishes accurate alignment for every course above it
- Shingle installation course-by-course — Chalk lines snapped for straight courses; correct nail placement and quantity per manufacturer spec; hand-sealing in wind-exposed zones; GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration applied in full compliance with certification requirements
- GAF TimberTex ridge cap — Specialized ridge cap shingles at all peaks and hips, properly overlapped and nailed, completing the sealed ridge over the GAF Cobra ridge vent
- Final inspection and cleanup — Full roof walkthrough, verification of all penetration seals, magnetic nail sweep of the entire property, gutter cleaning, and complete site restoration

DURABLE AND STYLISH OPTIONS FOR YOUR GLEN HEAD SIDING INSTALLATION
Siding
Glen Head’s older housing stock often presents wood siding that has reached the end of its maintenance cycle. We install James Hardie fiber cement siding and CertainTeed vinyl siding across all home styles, with all flashing and trim details handled correctly for long-term performance. Details on our Siding Installation page.
UPGRADE YOUR VIEW WITH PREMIUM WINDOW REPLACEMENT IN GLEN HEAD
Windows
Energy-inefficient windows are a common issue in Glen Head’s older homes. We install Marvin and Pella replacement windows across the full product line, with proper flashing and sealing that protects the surrounding wall assembly for decades. See our Window Installation page.
Long Island Deserves Industry-Leading Protection

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.

Roofing Considerations Specific to Glen Head Homeowners
Shade, Moss, and Algae
Glen Head’s heavily wooded lots create persistent shade on north and east-facing roof planes — ideal conditions for algae streaking and moss growth. Both accelerate shingle degradation if left unaddressed.
Algae-resistant shingle lines like GAF Timberline HDZ with StainGuard Plus are a smart long-term investment for properties with heavy tree coverage. Proper annual gutter maintenance also reduces the moisture accumulation that feeds growth at the eave line.
North Shore Wind and Cold Exposure
Glen Head sits within the Oyster Bay corridor on Nassau County’s North Shore, which means cold air off the Long Island Sound drives lower winter temperatures and higher wind chill than South Shore communities.
Ice dam formation is a real concern on under-ventilated roofs — particularly in older Colonials and Tudors where attic ventilation was not engineered to current standards. GAF WeatherWatch ice-and-water barrier at the eave line is essential, not optional, on these homes.
Aging Housing Stock and Dormers
The majority of Glen Head’s residential properties were built between 1950 and 1980. At this age, decking condition at tear-off is unpredictable — original boards or early-generation plywood sheathing may need partial replacement.
Complex rooflines with dormers, intersecting gables, and valleys require precise flashing detail work that simpler homes don’t demand. We inspect every deck before any new materials go down and report findings honestly before proceeding.
Town of Oyster Bay Permits
All roofing work in Glen Head falls under Town of Oyster Bay Building Department jurisdiction. County Roofing handles all permitting on every project — you don’t need to navigate the process yourself.

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.

Glen Head Roofing FAQs
How long does a roof replacement take on a typical Glen Head home?
Most single-family replacements in Glen Head are completed in one to two days. Larger homes with dormers, complex rooflines, or deck repairs that surface during tear-off may extend the timeline slightly. We give you a realistic schedule before work begins.
Do you handle permits with the Town of Oyster Bay?
Yes. We manage all permit filings and inspections with the Town of Oyster Bay Building Department on every roofing project. You don’t need to do anything on that front.
What shingles work best for North Shore homes with heavy tree coverage?
We typically recommend GAF Timberline HDZ with StainGuard Plus or Owens Corning Duration with algae resistance for shaded Glen Head properties. Both use copper-based granule technology that inhibits algae growth, extending the roof’s clean appearance and service life.
Can you replace just a section of my roof rather than the whole thing?
Depending on the age and overall condition of the existing roof, targeted replacement may be appropriate — particularly for storm-damaged sections on an otherwise sound roof. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or full replacement is the right call given the condition we find.
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 us about current offers when you call for your estimate.
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 Glen Head homeowners handle multiple exterior projects at once, which keeps the job site consolidated and reduces overall disruption.
How do I know if my roof needs replacement or just repairs?
It depends on the age of the roof, the extent of the damage, and the condition of the underlying deck. A roof under 15 years old with isolated damage is usually a repair candidate. One that’s 20-plus years old with granule loss, multiple failing sections, or deck deterioration typically makes more financial sense to replace. We give you an honest assessment after inspection — no pressure toward the more expensive option if repair is genuinely the right call.
