About Utica Premium Roofing: Licensed Roofing Pros in NY
Utica Premium Roofing works across Utica, the Sauquoit and Mohawk valleys and out to Rome, Ilion and Herkimer, on a housing stock that is genuinely unusual. Nearly half of everything standing in this city was built in 1939 or earlier, against about three in ten across New York State and roughly one in nine nationally, and that shapes every decision we make on a roof.
It also gives us one question we ask before any other. Where does the insulation sit? Above the deck and the state energy code has an opinion about your replacement, which for Climate Zone 5A means R-33ci and a finished surface several inches higher than the one you have. Below the deck and it has none, which frees the budget for air sealing, deck repair and intake ventilation that will do far more good.
Do not hire us if you want the cheapest number on the street. We price plank re-sheathing, fascia repair and curb extensions into the original estimate rather than discovering them later, so our figure often looks worse on paper than one that hides them. And if your slate roof is failing at the copper rather than the stone, we will tell you to repair it and take the smaller job.
If you have a roofing project in Utica, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate.

How Utica Premium Roofing works
How a job with Utica Premium Roofing runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. a written workmanship warranty backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a roofing job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Utica.
Where Utica Premium Roofing works and who we work with
Utica, NY first, then the surrounding communities of the Mohawk Valley: Rome, Oneida, Ilion, Herkimer, Chittenango, Little Falls, Canastota, Hamilton and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across the Mohawk Valley. Start with the Utica services, the Utica Premium Roofing homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why Utica Chooses Utica Premium Roofing
- ✓We establish whether your insulation sits above or below the deck before we quote, because that single fact decides whether the state energy code applies to your replacement at all
- ✓Where the code does apply, we draw and price the consequences of a raised assembly, the coping, drain sumps, curb extensions and thresholds, instead of issuing them as change orders later
- ✓Where it does not apply, we say so and redirect the budget to air sealing, deck repair and soffit intake, which is what a hundred-year-old Utica house actually needs
- ✓Low-slope roofs get cores rather than opinions, so nobody is guessing at insulation thickness or moisture from the parapet
- ✓We turn down coating work on assemblies we know are wet, because sealing water in makes the eventual tear-off cost more rather than less
- ✓Plank sheathing is assessed from inside the attic and the overlay or re-sheathing allowance appears in the first estimate
What Utica Customers Say
Two other outfits quoted a full tear-off with an insulated deck and used the new state code to justify it. These lads went in the attic, showed me the insulation was sitting on the ceiling joists, and said the code did not apply to my house. Shingles, deck repair and a proper soffit cut, for a lot less.
They cored our building before quoting and found two inches of board above the deck, which meant the replacement had to go to R-33ci. The coping, drain sumps and curb extensions were all on the first estimate. Nothing came back as an extra, which after our last roof was a genuine relief.
We had a stain over the bathroom for two winters and a roofer had already caulked half the roof. Utica Premium found it was condensation from an open chimney chase and air leaks at the top plates. Sealed it, cut intake in the soffit and the stain has not come back.
Asked them to coat our flat roof to put off the tear-off. They took cores, showed me the insulation was soaked, and told me a coating would just seal the water in and cost more later. Not what I wanted to hear. They were right, and they got the replacement.
