Serving Madison County
Thinking about a new roof in Sullivan? We’re River Roofing and Construction, and we’ve worked on Madison County homes for 38 years. From our Fayetteville shop we’re about 20 minutes away, near enough to respond quickly when a storm hits or a ceiling stain appears. We handle everything from a full tear-off to an emergency patch for Sullivan homeowners, built for the winters this region really delivers.
Full tear-offs taken right down to the deck, then rebuilt with CertainTeed shingle systems made for our weather.
Leaks, lost shingles and failed flashing, repaired properly so the problem doesn't come back next season.
Clear written inspections for home sales, insurance claims and storm damage assessments.
Wind and hail damage, tarping and fast-turnaround repairs. Seven days a week with wide hours.
We take weight off the roof and clear ice dams before they push water back under the shingles.
Gutters replaced during the same project — one crew, one schedule, water going where it should.
Sullivan sees roughly 110 to 140 inches of snow in a typical winter — and corridor exposure with bands coming off Oneida Lake. The housing stock matters as well — Sullivan is characterized by a broad mix of village-edge and rural properties. 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.
A season's worth of snow rests on the structure and works at the eaves. We build for February, not for a clear day in July.
Water gets into a hairline crack, freezes, expands, and makes the crack bigger. Repeat that for a season and you have a leak.

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.
We back every roof project with a 50 year Non-Prorated Warranty.
Our crews work across Sullivan, including Sullivan, Lakeport, Chittenango Falls area, and the neighborhoods between them. You’ll often find our trucks near the Old Erie Canal corridor. We cover the 13037 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 Sullivan homeowners we also handle:
Handling each layer ourselves means the roof, walls and gutters work as one system rather than three separate jobs.
Our service area covers Madison County and the wider Central New York region.
We do. Sullivan sits comfortably inside our service area, about 20 minutes from Fayetteville.
Cost comes down to the specifics of your roof rather than a rate per square. We’ll look at it, walk you through the options, and put real numbers in writing at no charge.
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.
Yes, both. roughly 110 to 140 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.
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.
Our standard is a CertainTeed asphalt shingle system fitted as one assembly, because the shingle alone isn’t what makes a roof last here.
Both. Where a repair is the right answer, we’ll say so — an honest repair beats an unnecessary replacement.
