The Last Roof You'll Ever Need to Buy
A metal roof isn't just a roof. It's a decision you make once and never think about again. While asphalt shingles need replacing every 20 to 25 years, a properly installed metal roof can last 50 years or more. It sheds snow before it piles up. It shrugs off wind that would tear shingles clean off. And it looks just as sharp on year 40 as it did on day one.
For Central New York homeowners dealing with lake-effect snow, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles, metal roofing isn't a luxury. It's the smartest long-term investment you can make in your home.
At Jewett Roofing Company, we've been installing metal roofs across Utica, Marcy, New Hartford, Whitesboro, and Clinton for over 40 years. We know the materials. We know the techniques. And we know how to make a metal roof look so good your neighbors will stop and stare.

SIGNS IT'S TIME FOR A METAL ROOF
Your Asphalt Roof Is Nearing 20 Years: Instead of replacing shingles every two decades, install metal once. It will outlast you.
You're Tired of Ice Dams: Metal roofs shed snow rapidly. No more ice buildup along the eaves. No more water backing up under shingles.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Metal Roof Installation FAQs.
Q: How much does a metal roof cost in Utica, NY?
A: Metal roofing costs vary based on style, metal type, roof complexity, and size. Standing seam metal roofs typically range from $14,000 to $30,000+ for an average Central New York home. Metal shingles and stone-coated steel fall in a similar range. While the upfront cost is higher than asphalt shingles, the 50+ year lifespan makes it a better long-term value. We provide a free, detailed estimate.
Q: How long does metal roof installation take?
A: Most residential metal roof installations take 3 to 7 days, depending on roof size, complexity, and weather. We'll give you a clear timeline during your estimate.
Q: Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
A: In many cases, yes. Metal roofing is lightweight enough to install directly over a single layer of asphalt shingles. This eliminates tear-off costs, reduces disposal, and adds an extra layer of protection. We'll inspect your roof and let you know if overlay is an option.
Q: Will a metal roof increase my home's value?
A: Yes. Homeowners typically recoup 85-95% of a metal roof's cost in resale value. Buyers recognize it as a premium, low-maintenance feature they won't have to worry about for decades.
Q: Does a metal roof require special maintenance?
A: Very little. We recommend an annual visual inspection to check for any debris accumulation, tree branch contact, or fastener issues. Beyond that, metal roofs are remarkably self-sufficient.
Q: Is a metal roof worth it in Central New York?
A: Absolutely. Our region's heavy snow, ice dams, and windstorms make metal roofing especially valuable. The snow-shedding capability alone prevents ice dam damage that costs homeowners thousands in repairs over a roof's lifetime.
Q: What colors and finishes are available for metal roofing?
A: Dozens. We offer a full palette of colors from leading manufacturers — from classic charcoal and slate gray to bold red, green, blue, and copper tones. Matte, gloss, and textured finishes are available. We'll bring color samples to your free estimate.
