Serving Madison County
Searching for a roofing company in Cazenovia? River Roofing and Construction has been repairing and replacing roofs across Madison County for 38 years. We’re about 25 minutes away in Fayetteville — close enough to be there quickly when a storm rolls through or a leak shows up on your ceiling. Every part of your roof, from a complete replacement to an emergency repair, handled for Cazenovia homeowners and built for real Central New York winters.
We strip the roof to the deck and rebuild it with CertainTeed shingle systems specified for Central New York.
Leaks, lost shingles and failed flashing, repaired properly so the problem doesn't come back next season.
We inspect and document what we find, so you have a record for a sale, a claim or your own peace of mind.
When wind or hail opens up a roof, we tarp it and get the repair moving. We work seven days a week.
Snow-load reduction and ice dam relief through the worst of a Cazenovia winter.
New gutters fitted alongside the roof, keeping runoff away from the fascia and the foundation.
Cazenovia sees roughly 110 to 140 inches of snow in a typical winter. Add lake and hill exposure with sustained seasonal wind, and a roof here takes a beating. Housing here adds to it, since Cazenovia is characterized by high-value historic homes with steep pitches and period roof detailing. Put those together and it’s clear why a roof here has to go on as a complete system rather than a fresh layer of shingles.
Snow melts where the attic is warm, runs down, and freezes again at the eaves — building a dam that drives water under the shingles. Proper ventilation stops it.
Snow piles up for months and puts real weight on the roof. Joist support and fastening have to be sized for that load.
Every freeze and thaw widens whatever is already loose. Flashing that would sit quietly in a milder climate fails here.

Nearly every shingle carries a “Limited Lifetime Warranty”. It’s worth knowing what that really means.
In most cases the coverage goes pro-rated after roughly 10 years. From that point a manufacturing defect might return only a fraction of what the roof cost.
Every roof we install carries a 50 year Non-Prorated Warranty.
We work throughout Cazenovia and the surrounding area, including Cazenovia village, New Woodstock — as well as the streets in between. Our crews are regularly near Cazenovia Lake and the historic village, and we cover the 13035 area and beyond.

Because we handle every layer of the exterior ourselves, water is managed as a single system, with nothing falling between trades.
We provide roofing services throughout Madison County and Central New York.
Yes. Cazenovia is well within our service area — we’re about 25 minutes away in Fayetteville and work throughout Madison County.
There’s no single number. Size, pitch, the number of layers to remove, the state of the decking and the shingle you pick all move the price. We’ll give you a free estimate in writing instead of a guess.
Typically one to two days for a standard Cazenovia home. Steeper or more complex roofs take longer, and we’ll tell you that before we start.
Yes, both. roughly 110 to 140 inches of snow in a typical winter makes ice dams a recurring problem locally. Clearing them helps in the moment; ventilation and ice-and-water shield is what actually fixes it long term.
Storm damage doesn’t wait, so neither do we — seven days a week, wide hours, and 25 minutes from Cazenovia.
CertainTeed architectural shingles, installed as a full system — underlayment, ice-and-water shield where our climate needs it, and ventilation set up correctly.
Both — and we’d rather do an honest repair than talk you into a roof you don’t need yet.
