Serving Onondaga County
Searching for a roofing company in Pompey? We’re River Roofing and Construction, and we’ve worked on Onondaga County homes for 38 years. We’re 20 minutes up the road in Fayetteville, so we can get to you quickly when something goes wrong. Whether it’s a complete tear-off or a single urgent repair, we handle every part of your roof for Pompey homeowners — and we build for the winters we actually get here.
We strip the roof to the deck and rebuild it with CertainTeed shingle systems specified for Central New York.
Missing shingles, worn flashing, storm damage and stubborn leaks, sorted at the source.
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 removal and ice dam relief to protect your shingles, gutters and ceilings all winter.
Gutter replacement handled as part of your roof project, carrying water away from the roofline.
Pompey gets roughly 140 to 160 inches of snow in a typical winter, and hilltop exposure on some of the highest ground in the county. It isn’t only the weather. Pompey is characterized by larger rural and estate homes with complex, high-exposure 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.
Snow piles up for months and puts real weight on the roof. Joist support and fastening have to be sized for that load.
Water gets into a hairline crack, freezes, expands, and makes the crack bigger. Repeat that for a season and you have a leak.

Years Of Experience Serving Central NY
Nearly every shingle carries a “Limited Lifetime Warranty”. It’s worth knowing what that really means.
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 back every roof project with a 50 year Non-Prorated Warranty.
We cover Pompey and the area around it, including Pompey, Delphi Falls, Watervale and everything in between. Our crews are regularly near the Pompey hilltops and long valley views, and we cover the 13138 area and beyond.

Roofing is what we’re known for, but it isn’t everything we do. That means a single contractor for the whole house. For Pompey homeowners we also handle:
When one company does the roof, the siding and the gutters, water gets managed end to end — not handed between contractors.
We provide roofing services throughout Onondaga County and Central New York.
Yes — Pompey is one of the areas we work in most, and we serve Onondaga County throughout.
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.
We work seven days a week with wide hours and respond quickly to storm damage. Being about 20 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 — and we’d rather do an honest repair than talk you into a roof you don’t need yet.
