Serving Onondaga County
Thinking about a new roof in Marcellus? River Roofing and Construction has protected homes across Onondaga County for 38 years. Our shop is in Fayetteville, roughly 40 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 Marcellus homeowners and built for real Central New York winters.
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.
We take weight off the roof and clear ice dams before they push water back under the shingles.
New gutters fitted alongside the roof, keeping runoff away from the fascia and the foundation.
Marcellus sees roughly 115 to 125 inches of snow in a typical winter. Add valley terrain that collects snow and channels wind, and a roof here takes a beating. The housing stock matters as well — Marcellus is characterized by village homes and rural properties across a range of build eras. Which is why a roof in this area has to be built as a full system — not another layer over the last one.
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.
Weeks of accumulated snow load the structure long before spring. We frame and fasten for the heaviest part of the winter.
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.

You’ll see “Limited Lifetime Warranty” on almost every shingle. The detail matters.
Usually after about 10 years that coverage becomes pro-rated, and you’re no longer fully protected. If a manufacturing defect turns up, it can mean pennies on the dollar.
We offer a 50 year Non-Prorated Warranty on every roof project.
Our crews work across Marcellus, including Marcellus village, Marcellus Falls, and the neighborhoods between them. Our crews are regularly near the Nine Mile Creek valley, and we cover the 13108 area and beyond.
