Thinking about a new roof in Brewerton? 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 Brewerton homeowners, built for the winters this region really delivers.
Full tear-offs taken right down to the deck, then rebuilt with CertainTeed shingle systems made for our weather.
Leaks, missing shingles, damaged flashing and storm damage — repairs that fix the cause, not the symptom.
Straightforward inspections with everything written down — for sales, claims or routine maintenance.
Storm damage, emergency tarping and quick repairs, seven days a week with wide hours.
We take weight off the roof and clear ice dams before they push water back under the shingles.
Gutters replaced during the same project — one crew, one schedule, water going where it should.
Brewerton gets roughly 115 to 125 inches of snow in a typical winter, and open water exposure at the west end of Oneida Lake. It isn’t only the weather. Brewerton is characterized by lakefront and near-lake properties, many seasonal-turned-year-round. Which is why a roof in this area has to be built as a full system — not another layer over the last one.
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.
A season's worth of snow rests on the structure and works at the eaves. We build for February, not for a clear day in July.
The thaw-and-refreeze cycle repeats all winter, opening small cracks and worn flashing until a small problem turns into a real leak.

You’ll see “Limited Lifetime Warranty” on almost every shingle. The detail matters.
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 cover Brewerton and the area around it, including Brewerton, Bartel Road corridor and everything in between. Our crews are regularly near the west end of Oneida Lake and the Oneida River, and we cover the 13029 area and beyond.

Roofing is what we’re known for, but it isn’t everything we do. That means a single contractor for the whole house. For Brewerton 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 provide roofing services throughout Onondaga County and Central New York.
Yes — Brewerton is one of the areas we work in most, and we serve Onondaga County throughout.
Every roof prices differently. What drives it is the size and pitch, how much tear-off is involved, what the decking looks like underneath, and the materials. A free written estimate is the only honest answer.
Typically one to two days for a standard Brewerton home. Steeper or more complex roofs take longer, and we’ll tell you that before we start.
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.
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.
Both — and we’d rather do an honest repair than talk you into a roof you don’t need yet.
