Expert Metal Roofing in Syracuse, NY
Permanent Protection for Central New York Homes & Businesses.
The Salt City’s Choice for Durable Metal Roofs
Syracuse is consistently ranked as one of the snowiest cities in America. Standard asphalt shingles often fail here because they trap moisture and allow ice dams to form during our brutal winters. At GMR Metal Roofs, we provide a lifetime solution designed to handle Central New York’s 100+ inches of annual snow.
Whether you have a historic home in Sedgwick, a modern build in Onondaga Hill, or a commercial property in Liverpool, we are your local experts for residential and commercial metal roofing.
Why Syracuse Homeowners Prefer Metal
Central New York weather is notoriously hard on roofing materials. A metal roof from GMR offers advantages that shingles simply cannot match:
Superior Snow Shedding: Our slick metal surfaces allow snow to slide off before it can pile up and cause structural stress or leaks.
Ice Dam Elimination: Metal warms quickly in the sun, preventing the ice ridges at the eaves that cause water to back up into your Syracuse home.
Energy Efficiency: During humid July days, our reflective coatings keep your attic cooler, reducing A/C costs by up to 25%.
Lifetime Durability: While shingles last 12-15 years in this climate, a GMR Metal Roof is a 50+ year investment.
Specialized Roofing Systems for Central NY
We install high-performance systems tailored to the unique architecture of the Syracuse area.
Snap Lock Standing Seam
The most popular residential choice. It features concealed fasteners, providing a clean, modern look with zero exposed screws to prevent leaks during heavy snow melts.
Mechanically Seamed Panels
The ultimate “watertown” seal. These panels are physically locked together, making them the most wind-resistant and leak-proof option for commercial buildings or low-slope roofs in high-wind areas.
LokSeam Metal Panels
A versatile, high-strength system that accommodates the extreme thermal expansion and contraction caused by Syracuse’s wild temperature swings.

Syracuse Roofing FAQs
How do you handle snow sliding off roofs in Syracuse? We install heavy-duty, color-matched snow guards to ensure snow sheds in small, safe amounts rather than large “avalanches,” protecting your landscaping and walkways.
Can you install in the winter? Yes. Unlike shingles, which require heat to seal, we can install metal roofing throughout the Syracuse winter, providing you protection when you need it most.
