Who we are
Syracuse Roof Co. is a locally operated marketing and booking service for roofing in Syracuse and Onondaga County, New York. Roofing work booked here is carried out by independent roofing contractors who carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
Licensing in New York
New York has no statewide roofing license. Local rules apply instead. A full roof replacement inside the city needs a building permit from the City of Syracuse; towns and villages outside the city set their own permit and registration rules. Permit fees show as their own line on an estimate.
Prices you see here
Ranges on this site help with budgeting. They are not quotes. Your price is the written estimate you get after the roof has been seen. It lists materials, layers to remove, the decking price per sheet and the permit. It stays good for the period printed on it, normally 30 days. An estimate isn't a contract until you sign it.
Paying
Any deposit, and when it's due, is printed on the estimate. The balance is due when the job is finished and walked through with you. Financing, where offered, is between you and the lender.
Safety
Roofs are dangerous, more so with snow and ice on them. Nothing on this site tells you to climb onto a roof. We aren't responsible for injury or damage from doing so.
Weather and schedules
Lake-effect snow, rain and high wind move roofing dates. A roof is never opened when it can't be closed the same day. We'll reschedule with you rather than take that risk.
Using this site
The writing here is general information about roofs in Central New York. It isn't an engineering opinion, legal advice, an insurance determination or a permit ruling. Copying the text or photos for another site isn't allowed.
Disputes and governing law
Start with our complaints process. These terms are governed by New York law. Your agreement with the contractor who does the work governs that work.
