Roofing Contractor in Rockville Centre
County Roofing Systems
Rockville Centre Roofing and Home Exterior Services
SERVING LONG ISLAND AND NY FOR 35 YEARS
Rockville Centre is one of Nassau County’s most established communities — and its housing stock reflects that directly.
The village is dominated by colonial revivals, tudors, craftsman bungalows, and two-story homes built predominantly between the 1920s and 1950s, many on tree-lined streets with significant canopy overhead.
At this age range, homes in Rockville Centre aren’t just on their first replacement roof — many are on their second, and the cumulative history of repairs, partial recovers, and deferred maintenance shows up when you pull back the first layer. South Shore proximity adds a separate dimension: nor’easters track directly through this part of Nassau County, and the wind and rain loads they bring stress every detail of a roofing installation from starter shingles to ridge caps.
County Roofing Systems has served Nassau County communities for over 35 years, including Rockville Centre and the surrounding South Shore corridor. We know the home styles in this village, we work within the Village of Rockville Centre Building Department’s permit process, and we bring the same installation standards to every project regardless of home age or complexity.

Our Services in Rockville Centre
We’re a full-service exterior contractor for Rockville Centre homeowners across every major category of exterior work.
A BEAUTIFUL NEW ROOF
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a Rockville Centre roof has aged beyond repair, or storm damage has compromised it structurally, we handle the complete replacement with the highest quality workmanship. 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 accessory structures, we install from the ground up.
All projects are permitted through the Village of Rockville Centre Building Department. See our Roof Replacement and Roof Installation pages for full details.
FAST ROOF INSPECTIONS
Roofing Repair & Roof Leaks
Flashing failures at dormers and chimneys, valley leaks, deteriorated pipe boots, and storm damage from South Shore nor’easters are the most common repair issues in Rockville Centre. We find the root cause of every problem rather than patching over it, and we tell you plainly whether repair makes sense or whether the roof’s age and overall condition make replacement the better investment. Full details on our Roof Repair page.
EXPAND YOUR HOME
Siding
Rockville Centre’s older homes frequently present original or aging wood siding, and early vinyl that has reached the end of its useful life is common throughout the village. We install James Hardie fiber cement siding and CertainTeed vinyl across all home styles, with all flashing and trim details handled correctly. See our Siding Installation page.
BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME
Windows
Aging windows throughout Rockville Centre’s housing stock are a consistent source of energy loss, drafts, and moisture infiltration — particularly in homes dating to the 1920s through 1940s where original wood frames are still in place. We install Marvin and Pella replacement windows with proper flashing and sealing at every opening. Details on our Window Installation page.
GUTTERS AND LEADERS
Gutters
Rockville Centre’s mature street trees — the elm and oak canopy that defines many of the village’s oldest blocks — keep gutters heavily loaded with debris through fall and into winter. We install seamless aluminum gutters sized and pitched for proper drainage, and we address any fascia or soffit deterioration before installation. See our Gutter Installation page.

Roofing Considerations Specific to Rockville Centre Homeowners
Aging Housing Stock and Layered Repair History
Rockville Centre’s homes are genuinely old by Long Island standards. A 1935 Colonial that has had two roofing systems installed over its lifetime may be carrying multiple layers of shingles, a deck that has been patched in sections, and original board sheathing beneath everything.
Full tear-off — not a recover — is the correct approach on homes at this age. You can’t assess deck condition without removing everything down to bare wood, and decking in poor condition will shorten the service life of any new roofing system installed over it. We document every section of the deck before we proceed.
Dormers, Slate Transitions, and Complex Roofline Details
Many of Rockville Centre’s older homes have architectural details that require extra precision at the roofline: steep-pitched dormers, front gable configurations, decorative valleys, and in some cases slate or tile sections adjacent to asphalt areas. Every transition point and penetration is a potential failure point if the flashing isn’t installed correctly.
We take dormer head flashing, chimney counter-flashing, and valley installation seriously on every job — not because the customer asks for it specifically, but because those are the details that determine whether a roof leaks in five years.
South Shore Wind and Nor’easter Exposure
Rockville Centre’s South Shore positioning puts it directly in the track of nor’easters moving up the coast — and the open Nassau County terrain doesn’t provide much wind shelter. Heavy rain events driven by coastal storms are a routine occurrence, and wind uplift failure at the eaves or ridge is how poorly installed roofs fail when they get tested.
Both GAF Timberline HDZ and Owens Corning Duration carry 130 mph wind ratings when installed to certification specifications — and those ratings depend on correct starter shingle placement, nail pattern, and proper ridge cap installation. A certified installer is the difference between a rated installation and one that just uses rated products.
Village of Rockville Centre Building Department
Rockville Centre is an incorporated village, which means all roofing permits are filed with the Village of Rockville Centre Building Department rather than the Town of Hempstead.
County Roofing manages all permit filings and inspections directly with the village on every project. You don’t need to navigate the process yourself.

How Our Roof Installation Process Works
- Complete deck preparation: We remove all existing materials down to bare wood, inspect every section of decking for rot, soft spots, and deterioration, and replace compromised sheathing before any new material goes down
- GAF WeatherWatch ice-and-water shield: Applied along all eaves (minimum 3 feet from the edge), through every valley, and around all penetrations including dormers, chimneys, and pipe boots
- GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment: Installed across the remaining deck for superior tear resistance and weather protection throughout 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 from South Shore storm events 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 high-wind 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 and flashing, magnetic nail sweep of the entire property, gutter cleaning, and complete site restoration

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.

Rockville Centre Roofing FAQs
How long does a roof replacement take on a typical Rockville Centre home?
Most single-family replacements in Rockville Centre are completed in one to two days. Older homes with complex rooflines, multiple dormers, or deck repairs that surface during tear-off may require additional time. We give you a realistic schedule before any work begins.
Do you handle permits with the Village of Rockville Centre?
Yes. County Roofing manages all permit filings and inspections directly with the Village of Rockville Centre Building Department on every project. You don’t need to handle anything on the permitting side.
My home was built in the 1930s or 1940s. Is there anything special to know about roofing an older house?
A few things. Original board sheathing is common at that age and its condition at tear-off is unpredictable — we inspect every inch and replace what’s compromised before proceeding. Full tear-off is essential: covering over existing layers prevents proper deck assessment and creates premature failure. And architectural details common on Rockville Centre’s older homes — dormers, ornate chimneys, decorative valleys — require precision flashing work that not every contractor executes correctly. We do.
What shingles work best for South Shore homes in Rockville Centre?
GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration are our primary recommendations — both carry 130 mph wind ratings when installed correctly and hold up well under the nor’easter conditions that track through this area. For Rockville Centre’s older homes with steeper pitches and architectural styling, the Timberline UHDZ or Owens Corning Duration Designer lines also complement the home’s appearance well.
Do you do full tear-offs, or will you install over an existing layer?
We always do full tear-offs. Installing over existing shingles prevents a proper deck inspection, adds unnecessary weight, and shortens the service life of the new installation. On homes the age of most in Rockville Centre, going over existing material without assessing the deck underneath is not a responsible approach.
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. Rockville Centre’s older homes often need attention across multiple exterior systems at once, and coordinating it under one contractor reduces disruption significantly.
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.
