Ed Purcell grew up in the roofing business. He picked up his first hammer at 15 working in the family trade, spent years learning every corner of the craft across Central New York, and in 2006 founded EJ's Contractors on his own terms.
We're based in Manlius. Ed's kids grew up and went to school here. When we put a roof on your house, we drive past it every day — which is exactly why Ed still answers the phone himself, still climbs the ladder himself, and still writes the warranty in plain English.
From the first phone call to the magnetic sweep through your yard at the end — here's exactly what working with EJS looks like.
We come out, climb the roof, and give you a written quote with photos — no high-pressure sales.
We pull permits, schedule materials, and confirm a start date that works around your life and the CNY weather.
Owner-led crew tears off the old, installs ice & water shield, underlayment, and your new system.
Magnetic-sweep cleanup, final walkthrough with you, and a 10-year workmanship warranty in writing.
"These guys are the best. I reached out late Friday afternoon and Ed was there with his crew Monday to inspect the roof and emergency tarp the area. They put down a new asphalt shingle roof the following weekend — all done in a day. His crew is very skilled and professional. The cleanup after they finished was incredible."
"So personable and professional! When Ed initially inspected my roof, he immediately gave me options, photos of the areas of concern, and an estimate in writing before leaving — unlike other companies that had to go back to their office. He will not disappoint!"
"Excellent product, very competitive pricing, and excellent service! Ed and his entire crew were very honest, reliable, and professional. Ed was very thorough in keeping me up to date, and worked hard to get the job done right. The brand new roof looks fantastic!"
