Roof Inspection in Akron, Ohio
Whether you just bought a century home in Highland Square or you are wondering how much winter your Goodyear Heights roof has left, our free 21-point inspection gives you the answer in writing. We climb and walk the whole roof, check the attic when it helps, and hand you a report with photos you can keep.

From our S Main St office, we can usually get out quickly, and there is never a cost or any obligation to hire us afterward.

What Akron's Weather & Homes Mean for Your Roof
Akron gives a roof inspection plenty to look at. The heavy lake-effect snow that settles over Summit County drives ice dams and stresses eaves and valleys, leaving damage you cannot see from the yard. Hail and summer wind add their own wear. On Akron's older homes, an inspection often turns up aging or original flashing, layered roofs hiding earlier problems, and attic ventilation that was never quite right, all things that shorten a roof's life if nobody catches them. For the city's many century and bungalow-era houses, knowing the real condition of the roof is especially valuable before you buy, sell, or budget for the next few years. We put it all in a clear written report so you can plan with confidence.

What Summit County Homeowners Say
Got several estimates and HOF came in well under all of the others. They gave us informative options as far as financing and broke down the scope of work so we could decide what to do now versus next year. No pressure at all.
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.
Jessica, Rodney and the entire team at HOF Roofing were excellent to work with. We are extremely grateful that they went above and beyond for us to ensure that our roof was paid for by the insurance company. The crew had the new roof on in one day! Meticulous cleanup and care for our plants.

FAQs
Roof Inspection in Akron: Your Questions
What does your roof inspection include?
Our free inspection is a 21-point walkthrough of your whole roof. Where it is safe, we climb up and check the shingles, flashing, valleys, ridges, drip edge, and penetrations, and we look at the decking and attic for soft spots, moisture, and ventilation problems. Then you get a thorough written report you can keep, with photos of anything we find. We will even drop off a physical copy along with a folder of product information if that is easier for you. No pressure, no obligation, and no cost.
Is a roof inspection really free?
Yes, 100 percent free with no obligation. We will climb and inspect your entire roof, document what we find, and hand you a written report, whether or not you ever hire us. There is no catch and no high-pressure pitch at the end. A lot of homeowners use our free inspection just to find out how much life is left in their roof, or to have documentation ready before filing an insurance claim. Either way, it costs you nothing. Call us and we will get one scheduled.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
Once a year is a good habit in Northeast Ohio, plus a check after any major storm. Our freeze-thaw winters and summer hail and wind are hard on roofs, and small problems caught early are cheap to fix. Catching a lifted shingle or a cracked boot before water gets in can save you thousands in interior damage down the road. If your roof is older than 15 years, or you have not had eyes on it in a while, it is worth a look. The inspection is free, so there is no reason to put it off.
Will you give me a written report after the inspection?
Yes. After every inspection you get a detailed written report you can keep, with photos of anything we found and a clear summary of your roof's condition. We can print it, email it, or both, whatever reaches you fastest. A lot of homeowners like that we will drop off a physical copy along with a folder of product info. That report is useful whether you are planning ahead, comparing quotes, or building a case for an insurance claim. And it is yours free, with no obligation to hire us.
How do I know if I need a new roof?
A few signs point to replacement rather than repair: shingles that are curling, cracking, or losing their granules, bald spots, daylight showing through the attic, or a roof that is simply past 20 years old. One leak usually means a repair. Widespread wear across the whole roof usually means it is time. The honest way to know is to have someone climb up and look. Our inspection is free and ends with a written report you keep, so you can decide on facts instead of a sales pitch.
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.
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.
