Wantagh, NY Roofing and Home Exterior Services
SERVING LONG ISLAND AND NY FOR 35 YEARS
Revitalize your Wantagh Home with a New Roof
Wantagh sits squarely on Nassau County’s South Shore, and as the gateway to Jones Beach, it carries the full coastal exposure profile that comes with that geography.
Postwar capes, ranches, and early colonials from the 1950s and 1960s define the residential landscape, and they’ve been absorbing South Shore conditions for 60 to 70 years.
Salt air off the Atlantic, nor’easters tracking up the coast, and bay wind exposure put consistent stress on roofing materials, flashing, and sealants. Like most communities built in this era, the housing stock is deep into its second or third roofing cycle, which means tear-off typically reveals deck conditions that haven’t been assessed in decades.
County Roofing Systems has served Nassau County’s South Shore for over 35 years, including Wantagh and surrounding communities. We hold elite certifications from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, placing us in the top 3% of contractors nationwide, and we handle all permit requirements in-house.

A BEAUTIFUL NEW ROOF
Roof Replacement and New Installation
When a Wantagh 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 accessory structures, we install from the ground up. All projects are permitted through the Town of Hempstead Building Department. See our Roof Replacement and Roof Installation pages for full details.
FAST ROOF REPAIR
Roof Repair
Wind damage, flashing failures at chimneys and dormers, valley leaks, and deteriorated pipe boots are the most common repair issues on Wantagh’s South Shore housing stock. We find the root cause of every problem rather than patching over symptoms, and we give you a straight assessment of whether repair or full replacement is the right call. Full details on our Roof Repair page.
EXPAND YOUR HOME
Siding
Wantagh’s older homes frequently present wood or early-generation vinyl siding at the end of its maintenance cycle, with salt air accelerating deterioration throughout the South Shore corridor. 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.
REVITALIZE YOUR HOME
Windows
Aging windows on Wantagh’s postwar homes are a consistent source of energy loss, drafts, and moisture infiltration, and seal failure accelerates on lower-quality products near the water. We install Marvin and Pella replacement windows with proper flashing and sealing at every opening. Details on our Window Installation page.
KEEP YOUR ROOF IN TOP SHAPE
Gutters
South Shore storm events push high water volumes through gutters quickly, and older gutter systems on Wantagh’s postwar homes are frequently undersized for that load. 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 Wantagh Homeowners
Atlantic and Bay Coastal Exposure
Wantagh’s position between the Atlantic Ocean to the south and the back bays to the north creates a coastal environment that works on exterior materials from multiple directions. Salt air accelerates granule degradation on asphalt shingles, corrodes exposed metal flashing, and shortens sealant service life at penetrations.
For Wantagh properties in close proximity to the water, higher-grade shingles with enhanced granule adhesion, like GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration, provide meaningfully better long-term performance than entry-level products in this environment.
Wind Exposure and Storm Track
Wantagh sits directly in the path of nor’easters tracking up the Atlantic coast, and its open South Shore geography provides little wind shelter during storm events. The causeway corridor and proximity to Jones Beach State Park means some properties in Wantagh face more direct wind exposure than inland Nassau communities.
Wind uplift resistance is a primary specification here. Both GAF Timberline HDZ and Owens Corning Duration carry 130 mph wind ratings when installed to certification standards, and those ratings depend entirely on correct starter placement, nail pattern, and sealed ridge details.
Aging Mid-Century Housing Stock
Wantagh’s capes and ranches built in the 1950s and 1960s are carrying 60-plus years of roofing history, often including prior re-roofings without full tear-offs. Deck conditions at tear-off range from solid to significantly deteriorated depending on how much water has reached the sheathing over the decades.
Full tear-off is the only approach that lets us assess the deck accurately. We document every finding and replace compromised sheathing before any new system goes down.
Town of Hempstead Building Department
All roofing work in Wantagh falls under the Town of Hempstead Building Department’s jurisdiction. Permits are required for replacement and certain repair scopes, and inspections must be completed before the project is closed.
County Roofing manages all permit filings and inspections on every project from start to finish.

How Our Roof Installation Process Works
1. 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.
2. GAF WeatherWatch ice-and-water shield
Applied along all eaves (minimum 3 feet from the edge), through every valley, and around all penetrations. Critical on coastal Wantagh properties given wind-driven rain and storm exposure.
3. GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment
Installed across the remaining deck for superior tear resistance and weather protection throughout the installation window.
4. 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.
5. GAF Pro-Start starter course
Specialized starter shingles installed along eaves and rakes, creating a sealed edge that resists wind uplift under South Shore storm conditions and establishes accurate alignment for every course above it.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.

Wantagh Roofing FAQs
How long does a roof replacement take on a typical Wantagh home?
Most single-family replacements in Wantagh are completed in one to two days. Homes with deck repairs discovered at tear-off, storm damage found during removal, or low-slope addition sections may extend the schedule. We give you a realistic timeline before any work begins.
Do you handle permits with the Town of Hempstead Building Department?
Yes. County Roofing manages all permit filings and inspections with the Town of Hempstead Building Department on every project. We handle everything from start to finish.
My home is near the water. What shingles do you recommend for South Shore conditions?
For coastal Wantagh properties, we recommend GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration, both carrying 130 mph wind ratings when installed correctly and use enhanced granule adhesion that holds up better under salt air and coastal wind conditions than standard products. Flashing installation quality is equally critical near the water.
My home was built in the 1950s or 1960s. What should I expect at tear-off?
Original board sheathing is common at that age, and deck condition depends on the home’s moisture history and prior re-roofing approach. We go down to bare wood, document every finding, and get your sign-off before proceeding with any deck repairs. Nothing unexpected gets covered back up without walking you through it first.
What happens if you find rotted decking?
We photograph the damage, walk you through exactly what we found, and get your approval before proceeding with repairs. Replacing compromised sheathing is essential: new shingles installed over a deteriorated deck won’t reach their rated service life. We price repairs fairly and transparently.
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. Salt air and age tend to affect multiple exterior systems at once on South Shore properties, and handling everything 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.
