Fourteen places
Fourteen places, and a different permit office in each
Find your place below, see which office to ask about a roofing permit, then ask for a roofer's visit. Permits here come from a city, town or village office, never the county, and the right one depends on your address, not your mailing name.
What we do
Describe the roof in a few lines, and an independent roofing contractor comes out to look at it, then prices the work for you in writing.
What we promise while you decide
- No charge from us, whether you book or not.
- The roofer's price comes to you on paper first.
- You may ask for a repair price beside the replacement one.
- Credit terms are spelled out on our Terms page.
Workmanship and contract terms belong to the roofer you hire.

Questions about the places on this list
Why is there a separate page for each place?
Housing, local government and the permit office differ from one place to the next. A page that only swaps the town name would tell you nothing you could use.
Does the county issue roofing permits?
No. Onondaga County issues none. Your city, town or village office does, and the town-by-town permit page lists which office applies in each of the fourteen places.
My mailing address names a different town. Which page do I use?
Use the page for the place where your house sits. If you are unsure, call us and give your street address, or ask your local office.
Is Jamesville a town?
No. Jamesville is a hamlet within the Town of DeWitt with no local government, so its page sends you to DeWitt.

Look for your own place first
We cover the city of Syracuse and thirteen nearby places. Each page names its kind of government, the office to ask about permits, and what is typical of the housing there. Several villages sit inside towns of a different name, so read the card for your address rather than your mail.
Outside this list?
Call (315) 640-3590 and give us your street. If a roofer can reach you, we will say so, and if not we will say that too.
How to use the list
Pick your place, read the permit line, then choose a job from the four on that page. Send the form with what you see and when it shows, and ask for a visit. Housing of a given age commonly has particular needs, so use the housing note as a reason to ask your roofer what they find, not as a fact about your own roof.
If you are on the edge of two places, read both pages and ask the roofer which office covers your street. The town-by-town permit offices are listed with the question to ask each one. Before the visit, gather your photos, the dates you noticed the problem and any paper from a roofer you have already spoken to.
