FAQs
How do I know if my Cleveland home needs a full roof replacement instead of just repairs?
Several indicators signal it’s time for a complete replacement: shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing in multiple areas; widespread granule loss that leaves bald spots; recurring interior leaks or water stains; sagging roof decking; and roofs older than 20–25 years (or 15–18 for 3-tab shingles). A precision inspection by our craftsmen includes attic moisture checks, infrared scanning, and structural assessments to confirm whether repairs or replacement is more cost-effective.
What roof materials do you recommend for Cleveland’s climate, and how do they differ in cost and longevity?
For Northeast Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect snow, and high winds, we typically recommend: (1) Architectural asphalt shingles—cost-effective, 25-30-year lifespan, good wind resistance; (2) Premium designer asphalt or SBS-modified shingles—higher impact resistance and 30-50-year warranties; (3) Standing-seam metal—exceptional durability (50+ years) and ice-shedding but higher upfront cost; (4) Synthetic slate or shake—lighter than natural slate, 40-50-year lifespan, premium aesthetics. We outline material pros/cons, warranty tiers, and lifecycle costs during your consultation so you can choose the best balance of appearance, performance, and budget.
How long does a typical roof replacement take, and will weather delays affect my project?
Most single-family asphalt shingle replacements in Cleveland are completed in 1–2 days, including full tear-off, underlayment, and new installation. Larger homes, complex rooflines, or premium products like metal may require 3–5 days. We monitor local forecasts closely; if lake-effect storms are predicted, we secure the work area with waterproof coverings and resume as soon as conditions are safe. All timelines we provide include a built-in weather buffer so you’re not surprised by unavoidable delays.
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Cleveland or surrounding suburbs?
Yes. The City of Cleveland and most suburbs require a building permit for complete roof replacement (tear-off and re-roof). As a full-service contractor, we handle the permitting process, schedule municipal inspections, and ensure the installation complies with Ohio Residential Code, local ice-shield requirements, and manufacturer specifications. Permit fees are included in your written proposal, so there are no hidden costs.
What warranties and workmanship guarantees do you provide?
You receive two layers of protection: (1) Manufacturer warranty—up to 50 years on materials and 130 mph wind coverage when we install their full roofing system; (2) Our Precision Craftsmanship Workmanship Warranty—15 years of coverage on labor, flashing, and installation techniques. We are certified by Owens Corning and CertainTeed, allowing us to register enhanced warranties that non-certified contractors cannot offer. Warranty documents are delivered and registered in your name upon project completion.
Can you assist with financing or insurance claims for storm-related roof replacement?
Absolutely. We partner with reputable financing providers offering low-interest and same-as-cash plans, so you can spread payments over 12–144 months. If your roof was damaged by wind or hail, our insurance restoration team documents the damage, meets the adjuster on-site, and helps you navigate claim paperwork to maximize coverage. You pay only your deductible for approved storm damage, and we handle the rest.
