Our Legacy: 55+ Years of Unbroken Craftsmanship in WNY Roofing

Since 1969, G.D. Fuller Contracting has defined what it means to build a true legacy in the Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania roofing industry. As a third-generation, family-owned company, our heritage is more than a story—it’s a living promise. Surviving when many competitors come and go, our legacy is measured in the roofs that still stand strong across Buffalo, Arcade, Ellicottville, Chaffee, and the Tri-County area. Our roots run deep, and our values are visible in every residential roof replacement, historic restoration, and light commercial project we complete.


Our commitment to legacy means every project is owner-guided—Gary Fuller, the third-generation tradesman, is personally involved from evaluation to final cleanup. This continuity of oversight ensures that your investment is protected by a tradition of technical mastery, honest evaluation, and integrity. We don’t just install roofs; we preserve the character of historic homes, safeguard family assets, and set the standard for craftsmanship in the region. Our legacy is your assurance: a roof built to outlast the warranty, designed to survive Buffalo’s toughest winters, and installed by a team whose name is on every shingle.

Preserving History: Our Legacy in Landmark & Historic Roofing

Our legacy is especially visible in the preservation of Western NY’s most treasured historic properties. G.D. Fuller Contracting is recognized for its rare expertise in restoring Victorian, Colonial, and National Register homes—skills few modern contractors possess. Using time-honored techniques and premium materials like slate, cedar shingles, and terra cotta, we’ve restored the original beauty and function of landmark roofs from Buffalo’s historic neighborhoods to rural Allegany County estates.


This legacy of preservation goes beyond technical skill—it’s about respect for architectural heritage. Our work on historic roofs is guided by meticulous attention to detail, adherence to period-correct methods, and a commitment to using only materials proven to survive harsh WNY weather. From specialty stained glass replacement to the “Steel Trap” policy that refuses unsuitable corrugated steel on homes, our legacy is your guarantee that your historic property receives master-craftsman treatment. For preservationists and legacy homeowners, choosing G.D. Fuller means investing in a roof—and a legacy—that will protect your home for generations.
