Your Local Kent, Ohio Roofing Company

Kent has a lot of older homes, and older homes need roofers who understand how they were built. The Victorian and early-1900s houses near downtown and around the Haymaker area have their own quirks: steep pitches, brick chimneys, and original details that reward careful work. The ranches and bungalows that fill the neighborhoods off Route 59 and Route 43 are often at or past the end of their shingle life. We come out from our Akron office on S Main St and show up with a full crew, not a salesman. Free no-obligation inspection, a straight answer about what the roof needs, and a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty on every job we do.

Kent Roofing Challenges

Roofing in Kent: What to Know

Kent's position in Portage County puts it in the path of the same lake-effect systems that hit Summit County to the west. The Cuyahoga River valley can channel cold air and add to snow accumulation in winter, feeding the ice dams that form on older homes with shallow eave overhangs. The university-town housing stock near downtown is among the oldest in the area, with century homes that often have multiple layers of previous repairs buried under the surface shingles. Knowing what is actually going on with the decking and flashing underneath matters a lot on these houses. The mid-century ranches and bungalows off Route 43 face the more common issue of aged-out ventilation. Summer hail events hit Portage County too, sometimes hard enough to bruise shingles that were already showing wear. We read all of it on every Kent inspection and plan the repair or replacement accordingly.

I recently had storm damage and HOF came to my rescue! They completed the roof in a day and the siding in another. Big project, done in two days. Jess kept me in the loop the whole time with what was happening. The house looks brand new.

FAQs

Roofing in Kent: Common Questions

Are you licensed and insured?

We are fully bonded and insured, and we are an A+ Accredited Business with the BBB. Worth knowing: Ohio does not actually license roofing contractors, so any company claiming a state roofing license is stretching the truth. What you should look for instead is proof of insurance, a manufacturer certification, and a real track record. We carry all three, including the CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster credential, the highest certification the manufacturer offers. Ask any roofer for their certificate of insurance before you hire. We are always happy to share ours.

Can I get a new roof installed in one day?

For most homes, yes. About 99 percent of our roof replacements are finished in a single day. We bring a full crew so the tear-off, any decking repairs, and the full new roof all happen in one visit, with the cleanup done before we leave. Only the largest or most complex homes ever need a second day, and we will tell you up front if yours is one of them. A one-day install also means your home is exposed for the shortest time possible, which matters during Ohio's unpredictable weather.

Can roof repairs stop leaks permanently?

When the leak is found and fixed correctly, yes. The catch is that a lot of leaks are misdiagnosed: water can travel along the decking and show up far from where it actually got in. We have solved leaks that other companies chased for years because we take the time to trace the real source, not just caulk the wet spot. On a roof with plenty of life left, a proper repair holds. On a roof that is worn out everywhere, repairs become a losing game, and we will tell you so honestly. The diagnosis starts with a free inspection.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We work with Foundation Finance and Acorn Finance to offer flexible plans, and on a typical roof around 9,000 dollars, payments run near 110 dollars a month. The application takes just a few minutes, and roughly 90 percent of applicants with a 550 or higher credit score are approved. Because offers are tailored to each person and change often, we go over your real options in person rather than guessing online. Financing can also help you cover an insurance deductible. We will lay it all out at your free estimate.

Do you remove the old roof or install over it?

We do a full tear-off down to the decking, every time. Layering new shingles over old ones hides problems, adds weight, and shortens the life of the new roof, so we do not do it. Stripping the roof lets us inspect the wood underneath, replace any rotten decking, and start clean. On every replacement we also swap out all the underlayment, soft metals, flashing, and drip edge, not just the shingles. That is the difference between a roof that looks new and a roof that is actually new.

Do you serve my area?

Most likely, yes. We run three offices, in Canton, Akron, and Parma, and our crews cover all of Stark and Summit County plus the surrounding towns every single day. That includes Cleveland, North Canton, Massillon, Green, Louisville, Alliance, Wadsworth, Kent, and many more. If you are anywhere in Northeast Ohio, there is a good chance we are already working in your neighborhood. Not sure? Just call us and we will tell you straight whether we cover your address. No runaround.
