COMMACK, N.Y. – September 21, 2026 – County Roofing, a roofing contractor founded on Long Island in 1987, is marking nearly four decades of work in Commack.
The company has served the community across most of its history, working on the postwar Colonials, ranches, splits, and Capes that make up much of its residential stock, along with the commercial properties along the Jericho Turnpike and Commack Road corridors.
Commack carries a permitting situation that catches homeowners regularly. The hamlet straddles a township line, with its western portion falling in the Town of Huntington and its eastern portion in the Town of Smithtown. That means two separate building departments, two sets of requirements, and two timelines depending on which side of the line a property sits.
The mailing address gives no indication which applies, and many residents are unaware the division exists until a project requires a permit.
“Commack is one of those places where the paperwork depends on your driveway, not your zip code,” said Keith Schmied, founder and CEO of County Roofing. “We’ve been filing in both Huntington and Smithtown out there for decades, so we know which office a job goes through before we quote it. That sounds like a small thing until you’re the homeowner waiting on a permit nobody filed correctly.”
The community also developed rapidly during the postwar decades, which produced neighborhoods where homes went up within a few years of one another. The practical consequence is that roofs across a street tend to reach the end of their service life at roughly the same time, and many of those homes have since had dormers or additions built on. The junctions where those additions meet the original roof account for a large share of local leaks.
Commack’s mature tree cover adds a further factor. Shaded slopes hold moisture longer after rain, which promotes algae growth and the gradual granule loss that follows, and heavily shaded roofs frequently reach the end of their useful life several years ahead of comparable roofs on open lots.
County Roofing holds elite certification from all three major roofing manufacturers, GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, and CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER, a combination reached by a small percentage of contractors nationwide. The certifications allow the company to offer enhanced manufacturer warranty coverage not available through non-certified installers.
Services available in the area include roof replacement, repair, installation, and inspection, along with commercial roofing, gutters, siding, and windows. Roof inspections are offered at no cost, every crew member is a direct employee rather than a subcontractor, and emergency response is available around the clock.
The company is headquartered in Melville and operates additional offices in Hauppauge, Massapequa, Forest Hills, and Tarrytown. The Hauppauge location places crews within a short distance of Commack. Schmied founded County Roofing in 1987 and remains directly involved in its projects.
