The town asks for a million in liability before it issues a permit. We carry it.
Pittsford is two jurisdictions sharing a name. The village sits on the canal at Schoen Place with its own code office, and the town wraps around it from Jefferson Road down to Mendon. Which one your address answers to changes the paperwork, so we check it before we quote.
The Erie Canal through the village, Monroe Avenue and Jefferson Road across the top, and 490 and 590 on the northern edge.
Federal and Greek Revival in the village, then post-war colonials, then the big late-century subdivisions out toward Mendon and Thornell.
Freeze-thaw and wind, same as the rest of the county, on roofs that are often large, cut up and expensive to get wrong.
A little over an hour from Attica, out 490 to Monroe Avenue.
A Pittsford roof rarely fails from a single storm. It fails because an architectural shingle laid in 2001 has reached the end of what it was rated for, or because ice has been working at the same north valley for fifteen winters. We photograph both and tell you which clock you are on.
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.

Before this town issues a permit it wants the roofer’s certificate of insurance on file, naming the town, at a limit most small outfits do not carry. Fully insured, certificate on request — True North Roofing LLC.

The Town of Pittsford sets a hard floor on contractor insurance: a minimum of $1,000,000 general aggregate and $1,000,000 each occurrence, on an ACORD certificate naming the Town of Pittsford as certificate holder, in place before the permit is issued and maintained for the length of the job. Workers’ compensation and disability proof go in with it, or a Certificate of Attestation of Exemption from the state board.
That requirement is doing real work. It is the reason the cash-and-a-ladder crowd quietly does not quote in this town, and it is worth knowing that whoever is on your roof had to clear it. True North Roofing LLC is fully insured and the certificate goes to the town, and to you, on request. New York does not license roofing contractors outside New York City and a handful of downstate counties, so insurance and a pulled permit are the real credentials here.
The Village of Pittsford is a separate jurisdiction with its own building inspector and its own requirements. If your address is inside the village we check with the village office rather than assuming the town’s rules carry over.
Yes. True North Roofing LLC carries general liability at the $1,000,000 aggregate and per-occurrence level the town requires, plus workers' compensation and disability. The certificate goes to the permit desk and to you on request.
Not in this part of the state. New York licenses roofing contractors in New York City and a few downstate counties, and nowhere in Monroe County. What you can actually check here is insurance, a pulled permit and a written scope — ask for all three, from us and from anyone else quoting.
It changes which office issues the permit and inspects the work. The village has its own building inspector. We confirm the jurisdiction from your address before we quote so the paperwork is right the first time.
Quite possibly. A late-nineties or early-2000s architectural shingle is at or past its rated life now, and the first sign is granule loss in the gutters rather than anything visible from the lawn. The roof report tells you how much life is left, and if the answer is 'several years', that's what it says.
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 →
