We’re 8 minutes up the road in Fayetteville, so we can get to you quickly when something goes wrong. Every part of your roof, from a complete replacement to an emergency repair, handled for DeWitt homeowners and built for real Central New York winters.

Snow removal and ice dam relief to protect your shingles, gutters and ceilings all winter.
Gutters replaced during the same project — one crew, one schedule, water going where it should.
DeWitt sees roughly 115 to 125 inches of snow in a typical winter. Add steady freeze-thaw swings under heavy mature tree cover, and a roof here takes a beating. Local housing plays a part too: DeWitt is characterized by established mid-century homes alongside newer construction, with mature tree cover over many roofs. That’s the reason a roof here needs to go on as a complete assembly, not just a new surface layer.
An ice dam forms when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the cold edge of the roof. Clearing it every winter isn't the answer; ventilation and ice-and-water shield are.
Months of accumulated snow sits on the structure and stresses the eaves. We frame and fasten for February, not for a sunny inspection in July.
Temperatures cross the freezing line over and over all season, working at small cracks and tired flashing until a minor issue becomes a real leak.

Most shingles have a “Limited Lifetime Warranty”, but what exactly does that mean?
Typically after 10 years the “Limited Lifetime Warranty” becomes pro-rated and you are no longer fully covered. This could mean only receiving pennies on the dollar for a potential manufacturing defect.
We offer a 50 year Non-Prorated Warranty on every roof project.
We work throughout DeWitt and the surrounding area, including Jamesville, Lyndon, Springfield Gardens — as well as the streets in between. You’ll often find our trucks near Green Lakes State Park and the Erie Canal trail. We cover the 13214 area and the towns around it.

Roofing is the core of what we do, though far from all of it. One team can take on the whole house. For DeWitt homeowners we also handle:
Because every layer of the exterior is in-house, water is managed as one system — with no gaps between contractors.
We take on roofing work throughout Onondaga County and across Central New York.
Yes, regularly. Our shop is roughly 8 minutes from DeWitt, and we cover Onondaga County as a whole.
It depends on your roof — size, pitch, how many layers come off, the condition of the decking, and the materials you choose. Rather than guess, we offer a free, no-pressure estimate with everything in writing.
Most DeWitt homes are finished in one to two days, depending on size, pitch and weather. We’ll give you a realistic timeline with your estimate.
We do. Given roughly 115 to 125 inches of snow in a typical winter, ice dams come up every winter. We clear them and reduce snow load — and on a replacement we design ventilation and ice-and-water shield in so they’re less likely to form at all.
Storm damage doesn’t wait, so neither do we — seven days a week, wide hours, and 8 minutes from DeWitt.
Our standard is a CertainTeed asphalt shingle system fitted as one assembly, because the shingle alone isn’t what makes a roof last here.
Both. Where a repair is the right answer, we’ll say so — an honest repair beats an unnecessary replacement.
