Roofing Services We Offer
Solutions tailored to your property, your budget, and the Western NY climate.
Roof Repairs
From a single missing shingle to active leaks and storm damage, we handle roof repairs across the Jamestown area. We start with a free inspection, identify the actual problem, and give you an honest answer on whether a repair will hold or if a replacement makes more sense.
Full Roof Replacements
When a roof has reached the end of its life, we handle complete tear-offs and replacements. We remove the old roof down to the deck, inspect the structure, and install your new roof with proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation. Most replacements wrap up in one to three days.
New Roof Installations
On new construction projects and home additions, we install roofs from the ground up. Whether you're building a custom home, putting up a pole barn, or adding onto an existing house, we match the roofing system to the building.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles are the most common roofing choice in Western NY for a reason. They handle the weather, last 20 to 30 years, and fit almost any budget. We install all major shingle brands and colors.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs and metal panel systems are built for the snow loads we get around Jamestown, Frewsburg, and Chautauqua County. Metal roofs shed snow, last 40 to 70 years, and look great on everything from custom homes to barndominiums to pole barns.
Storm Damage Repair
Wind, hail, ice damming, and heavy snow take their toll every winter. We handle storm damage repairs and work directly with you to document damage for insurance claims.
Commercial Roofing
We install and repair commercial roofs for businesses across the region. Flat roofs, sloped roofs, metal commercial systems — if you own a building that needs a roof, we can handle it.
Residential Roofing
From single family homes to additions and custom builds, residential roofing is the heart of what we do. Every job gets the same attention to detail, whether it's a small repair or a full replacement.
Why Roofing in Western New York Is Different
A roof in Jamestown takes a beating that roofs in most parts of the country never see. Lake effect snow drops two to three feet at a time. Ice dams form along eaves every winter. Freeze-thaw cycles work shingles loose over years. Wind off Lake Erie and Lake Chautauqua pulls at edges and flashing.
That's why we build every roof with this climate in mind. Proper attic ventilation to prevent ice dams. Ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys. Heavier underlayment than what you'd find in a milder climate. Flashing that's installed to actually shed water, not just look good on day one.
Twenty-eight years of roofing in Western NY teaches you what works and what fails. We don't cut corners on the parts of a roof you can't see, because those are the parts that fail first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
Common signs include missing or curling shingles, active leaks, sagging areas, granules in your gutters, daylight visible through the attic, and storm damage. If your roof is over 20 years old and showing multiple signs, replacement usually makes more sense than ongoing repairs. We offer free inspections to give you an honest answer either way.
How long does a roofing project usually take?
Most residential roof replacements take one to three days depending on the size of the home, the complexity of the roof, and weather. Repairs are often completed the same day. We give you a timeline upfront so there are no surprises.
Do you offer free roofing estimates?
Yes. Lewis Contracting provides free inspections and detailed roofing estimates with no obligation. We come out, look at the roof, and give you a straight answer on what needs to happen and what it costs.
What roofing materials do you install?
We install asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, standing seam metal roofs, metal panel systems, and commercial flat roofing systems. We can walk you through which option makes the most sense for your home, your budget, and the Western NY climate.
How much does a new roof cost in Jamestown, NY?
Roof replacement costs depend on the size of the roof, the material you choose, the pitch, and the condition of what's underneath. Most asphalt shingle replacements on average sized homes in the Jamestown area fall between $8,000 and $18,000. Metal roofs run higher but last two to three times longer. We'll give you a real number after a free inspection.
How long does a roof last in Western NY?
With proper installation and ventilation, an asphalt shingle roof in Western NY typically lasts 20 to 30 years. Metal roofs last 40 to 70 years. The biggest factors that shorten a roof's life around here are poor attic ventilation, ice damming, and improper flashing.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
We document the damage, provide detailed estimates, and work with you through the claims process. We don't act as your insurance adjuster, but we make the contractor side of the claim as easy as possible.
What's the difference between asphalt shingles and metal roofing?
Asphalt shingles are the most affordable option and last 20 to 30 years. Metal roofing costs more upfront but lasts 40 to 70 years, sheds snow better, and handles Western NY winters with less wear over time. Metal also works well for pole barns, steel buildings, and custom homes where the roof is part of the design.
Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
In some cases, yes. Metal roofing can be installed over an existing shingle roof if the deck is sound and local code allows it. We'll inspect first and let you know whether it's a good option for your home.
What should I do if I have an ice dam on my roof?
Don't try to chip it off yourself, you can damage shingles and gutters. Ice dams usually point to a ventilation or insulation problem in the attic. We can come out, address the immediate issue, and look at what's causing the dam in the first place.
What areas do you serve for roofing?
We are based in Frewsburg, NY and proudly serve surrounding communities throughout the region, including Jamestown, Falconer, Lakewood, Fredonia, Dunkirk, Westfield, Mayville, Buffalo NY, and Warren PA, Erie PA, and Russell PA.
