24 Roofing Companies in Syracuse, New York

We don’t yet have enough itemized residential roofing permits in Syracuse to publish a reliable local cost range.

As more Syracuse permits come on record, we’ll show the local range here.

Of the 5 companies we track in Syracuse, 0 have an active contractor license located in public records, 3 are registered business entities, and 4 operate from a commercial rather than residential address. New York does not issue a statewide roofing license, so roofing is regulated at the city or county level - confirm licensing with the local building department rather than expecting a state license number. A company not appearing with a license here isn’t proof it’s unlicensed - some jurisdictions don’t publish - so verify directly, and always confirm liability and workers’ comp insurance before work starts.

The roofers we track in Syracuse have been in business a median of 8 years, by their state formation date. The longest-operating is Van Derhoof Roofing, in business since 1956 (70 years); 0 were formed less than two years ago. A verifiable formation date and registered agent on file is one of the clearest lines between an established local company and a transient operator.

Onondaga County has recorded 216 significant storm events in the past decade, including hail up to 1.75" and wind gusts to 90 mph, so storm-driven roof damage is common here. After big storms, be wary of out-of-area crews who show up unsolicited, pressure you to sign immediately, or ask you to sign over your insurance claim. 5 of the roofers we track are based in Syracuse itself, alongside 19 that service it from nearby - favor an established local firm you can verify over a crew that appeared after the hail.

4 of the 5 roofers we track in Syracuse hold at least one manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, IKO, Malarkey). Certification means the manufacturer vetted the contractor and lets them back your roof with stronger, longer material-and-labor warranties. Not required to install a roof, but a real signal of training and standing.

Across the 5 companies we track in Syracuse, the average rating is 4.7★, combining Google, BBB, and Yelp. 3 appear on more than one platform and 5 have owners who actively respond to reviews.
