Serving Ontario County
Thinking about a new roof in Geneva? River Roofing and Construction has protected homes across Ontario County for 38 years. Our shop is in Fayetteville, roughly 75 minutes out, which means we’re on site fast when the weather turns or a leak starts. Every part of your roof, from a complete replacement to an emergency repair, handled for Geneva homeowners and built for real Central New York winters.
Complete tear-offs down to the deck, built on CertainTeed shingle systems rated for Central New York weather.
Leaks, lost shingles and failed flashing, repaired properly so the problem doesn't come back next season.
Documented inspections for home sales, insurance claims and post-storm checks.
Emergency tarping and fast repairs after wind or hail — we're available seven days a week.
Snow-load reduction and ice dam relief through the worst of a Geneva winter.
Gutter replacement built into your roof project, so water is carried cleanly away from the roofline and foundation.
Homeowners in Geneva deal with roughly 85 to 110 inches of snow in a typical winter. On top of that, Seneca Lake shoreline wind. Local housing plays a part too: Geneva is characterized by historic lakefront and city homes with detailed, visible rooflines. 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.
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.
Every freeze and thaw widens whatever is already loose. Flashing that would sit quietly in a milder climate fails here.

You’ll see “Limited Lifetime Warranty” on almost every shingle. The detail matters.
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 take on work throughout Geneva — Geneva city, Lakefront district and the streets around them. You’ll often find our trucks near the north end of Seneca Lake and the historic waterfront. We cover the 14456 area and the towns around it.

Roofing is the core of what we do, though far from all of it. One team can take on the whole house. For Geneva homeowners we also handle:
Handling each layer ourselves means the roof, walls and gutters work as one system rather than three separate jobs.
We take on roofing work throughout Ontario County and across Central New York.
We do. Geneva sits comfortably inside our service area, about 75 minutes from Fayetteville.
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 replacements here are a one- or two-day job. We’ll give you an honest timeline with the estimate rather than a best case.
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.
Yes. We’re available seven days a week with wide hours, and at roughly 75 minutes away we can get a tarp on quickly after a storm.
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.
