Serving Oneida County
Searching for a roofing company in Rome? River Roofing and Construction has spent 38 years looking after roofs across Oneida County. 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. From full roof replacements to emergency repairs, we handle every part of your roof for Rome homeowners, and we build for the winters this region actually gets.
Full tear-offs taken right down to the deck, then rebuilt with CertainTeed shingle systems made for our weather.
Missing shingles, worn flashing, storm damage and stubborn leaks, sorted at the source.
Straightforward inspections with everything written down — for sales, claims or routine maintenance.
Storm damage, emergency tarping and quick repairs, seven days a week with wide hours.
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.
Rome sees roughly 90 to 110 inches of snow in a typical winter — and Mohawk Valley cold with Tug Hill influence from the north. Housing here adds to it, since Rome is characterized by an older industrial-era housing stock with many aging roofs. 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.
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.
Weeks of accumulated snow load the structure long before spring. We frame and fasten for the heaviest part of the winter.
Every freeze and thaw widens whatever is already loose. Flashing that would sit quietly in a milder climate fails here.

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.
Every roof we install carries a 50 year Non-Prorated Warranty.
We work throughout Rome and the surrounding area, including Rome city, Lee Center — as well as the streets in between. You’ll often find our trucks near Fort Stanwix and the Erie Canal Village. We cover the 13440 area and the towns around it.

Roofing is what we’re known for, but it isn’t everything we do. That means a single contractor for the whole house. For Rome 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 work across Oneida County and throughout Central New York.
Yes. Rome is well within our service area — we’re about 55 minutes away in Fayetteville and work throughout Oneida County.
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.
One to two days covers most Rome roofs. Size, pitch and the forecast decide where you land, and you’ll get a realistic timeline up front.
Yes. With roughly 90 to 110 inches of snow in a typical winter, ice dams are a real problem here. We provide snow-load reduction and ice dam relief, and we build proper ventilation and ice-and-water shield into every replacement to prevent them.
We work seven days a week with wide hours and respond quickly to storm damage. Being about 55 minutes out means we can get a tarp on fast when it matters.
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. If your roof has life left in it, we’ll tell you that rather than sell you a new one.
