Farmingdale, NY Roofing, Siding and Windows
Farmingdale’s Premier Roofing, Siding, and Window Contractor
Farmingdale, an unincorporated village within the town of Oyster Bay, is a pleasant community providing a relaxed suburban lifestyle for residents and visitors. Attractions include the 447-acre Bethpage State Park, which is adjacent to the village, excellent shopping and transportation options (including proximity to Republic Airport), and a highly rated educational system.
First inhabited by Native American tribes, Farmingdale was settled by Europeans late in the 17th Century, who found the area’s flat terrain and fertile soil perfectly suited to agriculture. In the mid-19th Century, the Long Island Railroad arrived, spurring trade and further development. After World War II, Farmingdale experienced significant growth, reflecting the broader suburbanization trend occurring across Long Island.
Today, Farmingdale has a population of about 8,500. The community, served by the well-regarded Farmingdale Union Free School District, features a diverse mix of architectural styles, including Colonial Revival, Victorian, Cape Cod, Craftsman, Ranch, and contemporary.
While Farmingdale provides an attractive lifestyle for its residents, it’s also true that Farmingdale has experienced severe weather events in the past 20 years, including Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Winter Storm Nemo in 2013, Nor’easter Stella in 2017, Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020, and numerous other winter storms, thunderstorms, and tropical systems, resulting in flooding, power outages, and wind damage. Given that climate change is likely to produce more unpleasant weather for Farmingdale in the future, it is prudent for residents to take steps to fortify their residences to ensure they can weather future weather challenges.
The Farmingdale Climate and Your Home
Farmingdale’s climate is classified as “humid subtropical,” which means that summers are hot and humid, and winters are cool, with average temperatures ranging from 82°F in the summer to 26°F in the winter. Seasonal temperature variations such as these can be challenging for residential structures, because expansion/contraction cycles may cause exterior materials like roof shingles to expand, contract, and potentially break.
High winds also pose a risk to homes in Farmingdale. The windiest month is January, with average wind speeds of 13.2 miles per hour, with July being the calmest month, with wind speeds averaging 8 miles per hour. Additionally, excessive rainfall is also a concern, as rain is frequent throughout the year, with April being the wettest month and February the driest.
Strong Roofs for Rough Weather in Farmingdale
Residents of Farmingdale must ensure that their home’s protective roofs are well-maintained and capable of withstanding the severe weather conditions common to this area. King Quality offers durable, high-quality roofing installations designed to withstand the occasional extreme weather events experienced in Farmingdale. Given the fluctuating seasonal temperatures in the region, which can lead to expansion and contraction of building materials, regular roof inspections are also a must. Additionally, since humidity levels rise during warmer months, these inspections should include an assessment of the roof’s ventilation capabilities.
Durable, Attractive Siding for Farmingdale
Extreme weather conditions have the potential to cause substantial damage to the exterior siding of your home. Strong winds, heavy rain, and flying debris can weaken the siding, allowing moisture to seep into the structure. Compromised siding can also admit insects into the structure.

This siding features an oversized 6 to 7-inch reveal, enhancing insulation capabilities and providing resilience against any storm.
