Common Questions

Answers, Up Front

How long does an asphalt shingle roof last in Ohio?

Typically 15 to 25 years, depending on the shingle grade, the attic ventilation underneath, and how much hail the roof takes over its life. Architectural shingles sit at the upper end of that range; three-tab at the lower.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most single-family asphalt replacements take one to two days once material is on site. Steep, complex or large roofs can run longer, and weather always gets a vote.

Will homeowners insurance cover my roof damage?

Policies generally cover sudden storm damage — hail and wind — and generally exclude wear and age. Where your roof lands is decided by your policy and your adjuster; what we provide is the assessment and the photo documentation of what is actually up there.

Do I need a full replacement, or will a repair do?

If the roof has years of life left and the damage is localized, a repair is usually the right call. If the shingles are failing across the whole field, repairs become payments on a roof that is ending. We price whichever option the evidence supports.

What does a free estimate involve?

We come out, walk the roof, photograph what we find, and give you a written price for any work it needs. You keep the photos and the findings whether or not you hire us.
