A village on the canal inside a much larger town. The permit desk depends on your address.
Fairport is an incorporated village sitting inside the Town of Perinton, with the Erie Canal running straight through the middle of it and the lift bridge at the centre. The village streets are old and close-set; the Perinton subdivisions beyond them are newer and wider.
The Erie Canal and the lift bridge through the village centre, Main Street and Turk Hill Road, with Route 31F and Ayrault spreading into Perinton.
Victorians and four-squares along the canal streets, then post-war ranches, then subdivision colonials from the eighties onward further out.
Standard Monroe freeze-thaw. The older village roofs are steep and shed well; the trouble is the porch roofs and additions hung off them.
A little over an hour from Attica, out 490 to Fairport Road.
On a Fairport village house the leaks almost always come from where something was added: a porch roof tied into a wall without proper counterflashing, a low-slope rear addition shingled when it should have been membrane, a chimney that has not been reflashed since the seventies. Every one of those is a photograph.
Straight talk on insurance claims. We inspect, photograph, and document the damage, and we give you a written, itemized estimate you can hand to your insurer — and we can meet your adjuster on the roof. Your insurance company decides what’s covered. We don’t negotiate settlements — by New York law only a licensed public adjuster or attorney can represent you in a claim. We never pay, waive, or absorb deductibles (New York GBL §771-b makes that insurance fraud), and no contractor can promise your claim will be approved.
Repair or full replacement — we photograph what we find and recommend the cheaper fix when it will hold.

Wind off the lake plain and ice at the eaves. We photograph every slope and put the findings in writing.

Wall-to-roof junctions, chimney flashing and low-slope additions are the recurring faults on a village house. We photograph each junction before quoting, and a flashing repair stays a flashing repair rather than growing into a roof.

Fairport is a village with its own code office, and Perinton is the town around it. They are separate jurisdictions with separate permit desks, and an address two streets apart can answer to different ones. We confirm which applies before we quote, because a permit pulled at the wrong counter is a delay you pay for in schedule.
Either way the permit is ours to pull and ours to close out. The fee goes in the written price as its own line, we meet the inspector, and you get the closed paperwork with the photo file at the end. That file is what a buyer’s attorney asks for when you eventually sell, and it is the practical difference between a contractor and a man with a ladder.
On the older village houses, anything built before 1978 brings the federal lead rule in once painted soffit or fascia is disturbed. True North is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, NAT-F347405-1, so that is covered rather than quietly ignored.
We check before we quote — it decides which office issues the permit and inspects the work. It is not something to guess at, and getting it wrong costs you a week.
A low slope needs a different material than the main roof. Shingles on a shallow pitch will keep failing no matter how well they're laid. We'll photograph the pitch and quote the right system for it rather than re-shingling the same mistake.
No, just a different job. Older framing, steeper pitch, and painted trim that puts it under the federal lead rule. We're an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm and we plan the staging around a narrow village lot.
Both. A chimney reflash or a porch-roof repair is a repair, and we price it as one. We don't use a leak as a way into a roof sale.
Every slope photographed, findings explained, and a written, itemized price — repair, replace, or “you’re good for now.”
The Walk-Away Promise: if the report says your roof is fine, we hand you the file and leave. No follow-up calls unless you ask for one. See all 27 points →
