Serving Madison County
Wondering who to call for roofing in Madison? River Roofing and Construction has spent 38 years looking after roofs across Madison County. We’re about 45 minutes away in Fayetteville — close enough to be there quickly when a storm rolls through or a leak shows up on your ceiling. Whether it’s a complete tear-off or a single urgent repair, we handle every part of your roof for Madison homeowners — and we build for the winters we actually get here.
Old roof off, deck inspected, then a CertainTeed shingle system built for Central New York weather.
We track down what's actually leaking — shingles, flashing or storm damage — and fix the cause rather than cover it.
Clear written inspections for home sales, insurance claims and storm damage assessments.
Emergency tarping and fast repairs after wind or hail — we're available seven days a week.
Roof snow-load reduction and ice dam clearing through the heaviest weeks of a Madison winter.
Gutter replacement handled as part of your roof project, carrying water away from the roofline.
Homeowners in Madison deal with roughly 110 to 140 inches of snow in a typical winter. On top of that, elevated terrain along the Route 20 ridge. The housing stock matters as well — Madison is characterized by historic homes along the Route 20 corridor. 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.
Heat escaping into the attic melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves, forcing water back under the shingles. The fix is ventilation and ice-and-water shield.
Snow piles up for months and puts real weight on the roof. Joist support and fastening have to be sized for that load.
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 come with a “Limited Lifetime Warranty” — but what does that actually cover?
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.
Our crews work across Madison, including Madison village, Bouckville, and the neighborhoods between them. You’ll often find our trucks near the Bouckville antiques corridor. We cover the 13402 area and the towns around it.

Roofing is what we’re known for, but it isn’t everything we do. That means a single contractor for the whole house. For Madison homeowners we also handle:
Because we handle every layer of the exterior ourselves, water is managed as a single system, with nothing falling between trades.
We work across Madison County and throughout Central New York.
Yes, regularly. Our shop is roughly 45 minutes from Madison, and we cover Madison 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.
Typically one to two days for a standard Madison home. Steeper or more complex roofs take longer, and we’ll tell you that before we start.
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 work seven days a week with wide hours and respond quickly to storm damage. Being about 45 minutes out means we can get a tarp on fast when it matters.
We install CertainTeed asphalt shingle systems: architectural shingles over quality underlayment, with ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys and balanced ventilation throughout.
We do both. Plenty of roofs need a targeted repair, not a replacement, and we’ll give you a straight answer after we look.
