DeWitt's 1950s and 60s ranches and split-levels are solid homes, but their original shingle roofs are feeling every one of those 60-plus Syracuse winters. If you live off East Genesee Street or near Jamesville Road, you already know the drill: ice dams at the eaves, granules in the gutters, and shingles that curl after a lake-effect squall.
We're Syracuse Metal Roofing, and we've been solving those exact problems for homeowners in DeWitt (13214) for years. From the split-levels near ShoppingTown to the brick ranches off Erie Boulevard, we know how these roofs fail and how to fix them for good.
Metal Roofing in DeWitt (13214)
DeWitt sits on the same glacial till and clay that underlies much of Onondaga County, which means drainage matters. When snow melts fast after a warm spell, water needs somewhere to go. Older DeWitt lots often have mature sugar maples and Norway maples close to the house, so gutters fill with debris and ice dams form at the eaves. Many of these ranches and split-levels also have low-slope sections over additions and garages, where shingles wear out faster. We see a lot of failed fasteners, separated seams, and flashing gaps around chimneys and skylights, especially on homes that have been through 50 or 60 freeze-thaw cycles.
Our team has worked on roofs all over DeWitt, from the streets near the DeWitt Community Library to the neighborhoods around Moses DeWitt Elementary. We know the tight driveways, the mature trees, and the way lake-effect snow drifts against north-facing slopes. Whether you need a full metal roof replacement, a retrofit over existing shingles, or a targeted repair, we bring the right approach for your property.

How a Job Works in DeWitt
Step 1: You call us at (315) 679-5055 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment at your DeWitt home, usually within a few days. We'll inspect your roof, attic, and flashing, and talk through options like metal roof over shingles, standing seam, or a repair if that's all you need. You get a written estimate with clear pricing.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the required permits through the local building department. In DeWitt, that often means coordinating with the town or city office, and we handle that for you. If your home is in an HOA or historic district, we'll help with design review and color choices. On install day, our crew protects your landscaping, sets up safe access (even on tight lots with mature trees), and gets to work. We keep you posted on progress and any surprises we find under the old roof.
Step 3: When the job is done, we do a full cleanup, magnet-sweep for nails, and walk the property with you. We don't leave until you're satisfied and your yard is clean.
Pricing for metal roofing in DeWitt depends on the size and pitch of your roof, access, the condition of the existing roof, and the material you choose. For a typical ranch or split-level, metal roof over shingles (retrofit) starts around $7 per square foot, while a full metal roof replacement starts around $9 per square foot. Standing seam runs from $10 per square foot, and corrugated or ribbed panel roofing starts at $5.50 per square foot. Smaller jobs like metal roof repair or leak repair start at $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening starts at $750. We always provide a free, no-pressure estimate so you know exactly what to expect. Call (315) 679-5055 to schedule yours.
