County Roofing Systems: Long Island's Platinum Preferred Roofing Contractor
County Roofing Systems has worked with Owens Corning on residential and commercial roofing projects throughout Long Island. We’ve had many good experiences working with Owens Corning customer service teams. Because they’ve been in business since 1935, Owens Corning built a long track record of excellence.
We’ve also worked to establish a track record of excellence in the Long Island roofing industry. Unlike many contractors who cut corners with supplies, we use only top quality roofing materials. If Owens Corning wasn’t a reputable company with excellent roof products, we wouldn’t waste our time or yours. Cheap roofing materials lead to costly roof repairs down the road.

What are the Different Owens Corning Shingle Styles?
DURATION® SHINGLES
Duration® Shingles are the most popular line of Owens Corning roof shingles. A Duration shingle roof offers wind resistance up to 110 mph, which means you can sleep soundly through the roughest nor’easters and windstorms.
But Duration shingles also offer a rich color selection that makes your new Owens Corning roof not only energy-efficient and durable but also beautiful.
DURATION DESIGNER® SHINGLES
Are you looking for striking asphalt roof shingles that resemble an old wood shake or slate roof but requires much less maintenance? Then you’ll love the Duration Designer line.
TruDefinition Duration Designer laminated architectural shingles provide a beautiful sense of texture and color variation to your roof. Owens Corning’s Duration Designer shingles are a great choice if you want your roof to be the envy of your neighbors.
DURATION FLEX® SHINGLES
Duration FLEX shingles provide your roof with additional protection in the event of hailstorms or fallen branches.
Duration FLEX shingles have Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating available for a roof shingle. That means they can handle a 20-foot impact from a 4-inch steel ball without cracking. This extra strength means your shingles remain intact and your home remains free of leaks and water damage.
OAKRIDGE® SHINGLES
Oakridge laminated shingles provide premium roof protection and impressive curb appeal. A full double layer in the nailing zone gives Oakridge Shingles greater integrity and better holding power.
Oakridge shingles are also a bit less expensive per square foot than the Duration line. But they still provide excellent value, fade-resistant colors, and superior protection for your home. If you’re on a tight budget but still looking for an attractive, rugged, durable asphalt roof, Owens Corning Oakridge shingles are a great choice.
