Thinking about a new roof in Camillus? River Roofing and Construction has been repairing and replacing roofs across Onondaga County for 38 years. We’re about 30 minutes away in Fayetteville — close enough to be there quickly when a storm rolls through or a leak shows up on your ceiling. We handle everything from a full tear-off to an emergency patch for Camillus homeowners, built for the winters this region really delivers.
Old roof off, deck inspected, then a CertainTeed shingle system built for Central New York weather.
Leaks, lost shingles and failed flashing, repaired properly so the problem doesn't come back next season.
Straightforward inspections with everything written down — for sales, claims or routine maintenance.
Emergency tarping and fast repairs after wind or hail — we're available seven days a week.
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.
Camillus gets roughly 115 to 125 inches of snow in a typical winter, and west-side exposure with steady wind coming off the lake. Housing here adds to it, since Camillus is characterized by postwar and 1960s–80s suburban housing with a strong owner-occupied base. That’s the reason a roof here needs to go on as a complete assembly, not just a new surface layer.
Warm air leaking into the attic melts snow higher up the roof. It refreezes at the cold eaves and pushes water back beneath the shingles. Ventilation is the real fix.
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.
Water gets into a hairline crack, freezes, expands, and makes the crack bigger. Repeat that for a season and you have a leak.

Years Of Experience Serving Central NY
Nearly every shingle carries a “Limited Lifetime Warranty”. It’s worth knowing what that really means.
Usually after about 10 years that coverage becomes pro-rated, and you’re no longer fully protected. If a manufacturing defect turns up, it can mean pennies on the dollar.
Every roof we install carries a 50 year Non-Prorated Warranty.
Our crews work across Camillus, including Camillus village, Fairmount, Split Rock, and the neighborhoods between them. Our crews are regularly near the Camillus Erie Canal Park and aqueduct, and we cover the 13031 area and beyond.

Roofing is our core trade, but it isn’t all we do — which means one contractor for the whole house. For Camillus homeowners we also handle:
When one company does the roof, the siding and the gutters, water gets managed end to end — not handed between contractors.
We work across Onondaga County and throughout Central New York.
Yes. Camillus is well within our service area — we’re about 30 minutes away in Fayetteville and work throughout Onondaga County.
Cost comes down to the specifics of your roof rather than a rate per square. We’ll look at it, walk you through the options, and put real numbers in writing at no charge.
One to two days covers most Camillus roofs. Size, pitch and the forecast decide where you land, and you’ll get a realistic timeline up front.
That’s a regular winter call for us. We take snow weight off the roof and free up ice dams, and we build the prevention into any replacement we install.
We take emergency calls seven days a week. From Fayetteville we’re about 30 minutes out, so we can be there fast when a roof opens up.
CertainTeed asphalt shingle systems — architectural shingles with proper underlayment, ice-and-water shield and balanced ventilation, installed as a complete assembly built for Central New York.
We do both. Plenty of roofs need a targeted repair, not a replacement, and we’ll give you a straight answer after we look.
