One of the best times to deal with roof damage is before anything bad happens. That’s why roof inspections in Salina, NY, are so important.

All of our asphalt shingle installations use Owens Corning materials and are backed by manufacturer warranties and our own workmanship guarantee.
Gutters really aren’t optional in our area. They’re your best line of defense against ice dams. When water’s backed up or not draining properly, it freezes at the eaves and works its way under your shingles. It’s one of the most common (and most preventable) sources of winter roof damage.
Forte Roofing provides complete gutter services: installation, repairs, and maintenance. We’ll make sure your gutters are properly sized, securely attached, and flowing freely before the season starts. Clear gutters won’t prevent every ice dam. But they do take one major variable off the table.

Here are some common questions Salina residents ask us about roofing.
Every roof is different, so the numbers fluctuate. It depends. The size of the roof, the materials, the condition of the decking underneath, and the complexity of the job all factor into that final number. The only real way to get an exact figure is an on-site estimate, which we’ll provide for free.
Most of the country averages 20 to 30 inches of snow per year. Salina averages over 110. Lake-effect storms off Lake Ontario make the Syracuse area one of the snowiest places in the entire United States, even more than Chicago, Boston, and Detroit. All that snow puts serious pressure on roofs over the course of a season. Add in the freeze-thaw cycles (snow melting during the day, refreezing overnight), and you start getting ice dams, flashing damage, and lifted shingles. Roofs here simply work harder than anywhere else in the country. They need to be built and maintained with that in mind.
The biggest sign of an ice dam is a thick ridge of ice that builds up along the edge of your roof. There are often big icicles hanging from it, too. Inside your house, you’ll likely notice water stains on the ceiling or walls. You might not actually see any ice dam damage until spring. If you want to make sure, we can come out and do a roof inspection for you.
