Serving Oswego County
Wondering who to call for roofing in Oswego? River Roofing and Construction has protected homes across Oswego County for 38 years. We’re about 55 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 Oswego 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.
Missing shingles, worn flashing, storm damage and stubborn leaks, sorted at the source.
Documented inspections for home sales, insurance claims and post-storm checks.
When wind or hail opens up a roof, we tarp it and get the repair moving. We work seven days a week.
Roof snow-load reduction and ice dam clearing through the heaviest weeks of a Oswego winter.
Gutters replaced during the same project — one crew, one schedule, water going where it should.
Oswego sees roughly 150 to 180 inches of snow in a typical winter — and front-line shoreline exposure on Lake Ontario. Housing here adds to it, since Oswego is characterized by historic lakefront and city housing exposed to direct shoreline weather. 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.
An ice dam forms when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the cold edge of the roof. Clearing it every winter isn't the answer; ventilation and ice-and-water shield are.
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.

Most shingles come with a “Limited Lifetime Warranty” — but what does that actually cover?
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.
Every roof we install carries a 50 year Non-Prorated Warranty.
We work throughout Oswego and the surrounding area, including Oswego city, Fruit Valley — as well as the streets in between. the Lake Ontario harbor and Fort Ontario is familiar ground for us, and we work throughout the 13126 area.

Roofing is our core trade, but it isn’t all we do — which means one contractor for the whole house. For Oswego homeowners we also handle:
Handling each layer ourselves means the roof, walls and gutters work as one system rather than three separate jobs.
We provide roofing services throughout Oswego County and Central New York.
Yes, regularly. Our shop is roughly 55 minutes from Oswego, and we cover Oswego County as a whole.
Every roof prices differently. What drives it is the size and pitch, how much tear-off is involved, what the decking looks like underneath, and the materials. A free written estimate is the only honest answer.
One to two days covers most Oswego roofs. Size, pitch and the forecast decide where you land, and you’ll get a realistic timeline up front.
Yes, both. roughly 150 to 180 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 55 minutes from Oswego.
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.
Both — and we’d rather do an honest repair than talk you into a roof you don’t need yet.
