FAQs
What types of roofing materials are best suited for homes in Dayton’s climate?
Dayton experiences hot, humid summers, cold winters, and frequent hail and wind events. Asphalt shingles remain the most popular choice because they balance cost, durability (15–30 years), and easy repair. Architectural or dimensional shingles give better wind resistance than 3-tab styles. For longer life spans, consider metal roofing, which lasts 40–70 years and sheds snow and ice quickly, or synthetic slate/shake that resists impact and moisture while weighing less than real slate. We assess your home’s pitch, ventilation, and budget to recommend the optimal material.
How much does a typical roof replacement cost in Dayton?
Costs depend on roof size, pitch, layer tear-off, material, and flashing or decking repairs. On average, a standard asphalt-shingle replacement in the Dayton area runs $4.00–$6.00 per square foot, or roughly $9,000–$15,000 for a 2,000-square-foot roof (20 squares). Metal roofs range from $8.00–$14.00 per square foot, while premium products like synthetic slate can exceed $18.00 per square foot. We provide a free on-site inspection and written estimate so you know exact pricing before any work begins.
How long does it take to install a new roof?
Most single-family asphalt-shingle roofs in Dayton can be removed and replaced in one to two days, weather permitting. Complex roofs with multiple valleys, very steep pitches, or specialty materials (metal panels, synthetic slate) may require three to five days. We schedule projects to minimize disruption, use dump trailers instead of roll-off dumpsters where possible, and conduct a final magnetic nail sweep to leave your property clean.
Do I need a permit for roofing work in Dayton?
Yes. The City of Dayton and surrounding Montgomery County jurisdictions require permits for full roof replacements and some major repairs. As your contractor, we handle the permit application, pay the associated fees, and schedule all required inspections. This ensures the project complies with local building codes, manufacturer installation guidelines, and Ohio’s Residential Code regulations.
How can I tell if my roof needs repair or full replacement?
Warning signs include curled, cracked, or missing shingles; granular loss that exposes the fiberglass mat; persistent roof leaks or water stains inside the attic; sagging decking; and higher energy bills from lost ventilation. If damage is isolated to a small area (for example, a few blown-off shingles after a storm), a repair may suffice. Roofs over 15–20 years old with widespread shingle deterioration generally benefit from full replacement. We offer free inspections with drone imagery and attic evaluations so you can make an informed decision.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage repairs to my roof?
Most policies in Ohio cover sudden, accidental damage caused by wind, hail, or falling debris, minus your deductible. Age-related wear or improper maintenance, however, is excluded. After a storm we perform a no-cost inspection, document damage with photos, and assist you in filing the claim. Our team meets with the adjuster, reviews the scope of loss, and completes the approved repairs to restore your roof to pre-storm condition while ensuring code compliance.
