Residential Roofing Services
Your roof takes the brunt of Rochester's weather. Between heavy lake-effect snow loads, summer thunderstorms, and freeze-thaw cycles that start in October and don't quit until April, the average home roof in this region works harder than most.
Carter Exteriors provides full-service residential roofing across the greater Rochester area. Whether you need a complete roof replacement, targeted repairs, or a thorough roof inspection before winter hits, our crews handle every step from tear-off to final cleanup.
Our Residential Roofing Services Include:
- Asphalt shingle repair and replacement
- Full roof tear-off and new installation
- Flashing repair and leak prevention
- Ice dam protection and ventilation upgrades
- Soffit, fascia, and gutter work
We use Owens Corning Duration and TruDefinition shingles because they're built for climates like ours. High wind ratings, algae resistance, and a range of color profiles mean your home looks great while staying protected. Homeowners across Fairport, Victor, and Gates trust Carter Exteriors because we treat every home like it's our own.
Commercial Roofing Solutions
A leaking commercial roof doesn't just damage your building. It disrupts your operations, threatens inventory, and puts employees at risk. Carter Exteriors is a trusted commercial roofing company serving businesses across Rochester, Henrietta, and the surrounding region.
We install and repair a full range of commercial roofing systems built for the specific demands of flat and low-slope structures:
- Flat roof repair and installation
- Single-ply membrane systems (TPO, PVC, EPDM)
- Modified bitumen roofing
- Commercial roof coatings and restoration
- Preventive maintenance programs
We work with property managers, business owners, and facility teams to minimize downtime and extend the life of your roof. Our commercial crews understand the urgency. When your building needs attention, we respond quickly and communicate clearly from start to finish.
Metal Roofing Repair and Installation
Metal roofing is gaining serious traction in the Rochester area, and for good reason. A properly installed metal roof can last 40 to 70 years, shrugs off heavy snow, and reflects heat in the summer to reduce cooling costs. For homeowners tired of replacing shingles every 15 to 20 years, metal is the long-term investment that actually pays off.
Carter Exteriors specializes in metal roofing repair and installation for both residential and commercial properties. We work with standing seam panels, corrugated metal, stone-coated steel, and mechanical lock systems. Each option offers distinct advantages depending on your building type, budget, and aesthetic goals.
Benefits of Metal Roofing in Rochester:
- Longevity: 40-70 years lifespan vs. 15-25 years for asphalt
- Weather resistance: Handles heavy snow loads, ice, and high winds
- Energy efficiency: Reflective coatings reduce attic heat gain
- Low maintenance: No cracking, warping, or granule loss
- Curb appeal: Clean lines and modern profiles that increase property value
We've installed metal roofs on homes in Pittsford, businesses in Brockport, and agricultural buildings across Monroe County. If you're curious whether metal is right for your property, we'll walk you through the options honestly, with no pressure.
Storm Damage Roof Repairs
Rochester averages over 100 inches of snow per year, and severe thunderstorms regularly bring hail and high winds through Monroe County between May and September. When a storm damages your roof, fast action prevents thousands of dollars in secondary water damage to your ceilings, walls, insulation, and belongings.
Carter Exteriors provides rapid storm damage roof repair with crews ready to respond when you need us most. We handle the full spectrum of storm-related roofing emergencies:
- Wind damage repair — lifted, torn, or missing shingles
- Hail damage repair — dented shingles, cracked flashing, compromised underlayment
- Emergency tarping and temporary repairs
- Active leak repair and patching
Insurance Claims Assistance
Filing a roof insurance claim after a storm can be confusing and stressful. Our team helps you through the process. We document the damage, meet with adjusters on-site, and make sure your claim reflects the actual scope of work needed. We've helped homeowners across Penfield, Webster, and Greece get their roofs restored without overpaying out of pocket.

Would highly recommend!!
More detailed:
The sales process was great. It wasn't some random 20-something who had never been on a roof. Jim knew the business and process. I wanted a metal roof. He could have just gone with it but instead he really questioned me about why that was what I wanted. He wanted to be sure I would get the value out of the more expensive option. I even received a quote for a traditional asphalt roof in addition to the metal. They are out to get you the right solution for your application rather than the most expensive option.
I made the mistake of scheduling in the fall so project start got pushed a few times but that wasn't Carter's fault. They were pretty good about getting back to me when I called and didn't mind answering the same questions multiple times. Both Jim and the owner Austin were on site throughout the installation and cleanup to be sure everything was done right.
Overall, great quality, great experience.
