Serving Oneida County
Thinking about a new roof in New Hartford? We’re River Roofing and Construction, and we’ve worked on Oneida County homes for 38 years. From our Fayetteville shop we’re about 65 minutes away, near enough to respond quickly when a storm hits or a ceiling stain appears. We handle everything from a full tear-off to an emergency patch for New Hartford homeowners, built for the winters this region really delivers.
Complete tear-offs down to the deck, built on CertainTeed shingle systems rated for Central New York 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.
Wind and hail damage, tarping and fast-turnaround 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.
New Hartford sees roughly 90 to 110 inches of snow in a typical winter. Add valley exposure with sustained wind and freeze-thaw cycling, and a roof here takes a beating. Housing here adds to it, since New Hartford is characterized by established 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.
Snow piles up for months and puts real weight on the roof. Joist support and fastening have to be sized for that load.
The thaw-and-refreeze cycle repeats all winter, opening small cracks and worn flashing until a small problem turns into 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 cover New Hartford and the area around it, including New Hartford village, Washington Mills and everything in between. Our crews are regularly near the Sauquoit Creek valley and village center, and we cover the 13413 area and beyond.

Roofing is the core of what we do, though far from all of it. One team can take on the whole house. For New Hartford 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 Oneida County and across Central New York.
Yes, regularly. Our shop is roughly 65 minutes from New Hartford, and we cover Oneida 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 New Hartford homes are finished in one to two days, depending on size, pitch and weather. We’ll give you a realistic timeline with your estimate.
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 65 minutes out means we can get a tarp on fast when it matters.
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. If your roof has life left in it, we’ll tell you that rather than sell you a new one.
