Roof Repair in Kent, Ohio

Roof repairs start at 300 dollars and go up from there based on what is wrong and how hard the spot is to reach. A few lifted shingles is a small job. Tracking down a stubborn leak, replacing flashing around a chimney, or fixing rotten decking costs more because there is more work involved. We will never pad a repair, and if we find that a repair is just throwing good money after bad on an old roof, we will tell you honestly. The inspection and written estimate are free, so you know the price before we start.

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.

We start where the water shows up inside, then work backward up the roof, because leaks rarely start where you see the stain. Water runs along rafters and decking before it drips, so the entry point is often feet away. We check the usual suspects first, flashing around chimneys and vents, pipe boots, valleys, and lifted or cracked shingles, and we look in the attic for the trail. Finding the true source is the whole job. We have fixed leaks other roofers gave up on. It all begins with a free, careful inspection.

Most homes are done in a single day. About 99 percent of our roof replacements go from tear-off to cleanup in one day, and only the largest homes ever stretch into a second. We show up with a full crew, protect your property, strip the old roof, make any decking repairs, and install the new system, all in one visit. Before we leave, we run magnetic sweepers across your driveway and lawn and walk the finished job with you. Commercial projects take longer and depend on the size of the building.

Often, yes, if the damage came from a sudden event like hail, wind, or a fallen branch. Homeowners policies generally cover storm damage but not gradual wear and tear, so age alone usually will not get a roof approved. The tricky part is proving the damage and getting the insurer to pay what the job actually costs. That is where we help. We document everything, meet your adjuster on the roof, and push back when the first estimate falls short. We have handled over 1,000 claims. Start with a free inspection and we will tell you honestly whether filing makes sense.

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.

Every job we do is backed by a 10-year warranty on all of our labor, and it transfers to the next owner if you sell your home. That covers the workmanship, the part a lot of roofers stay quiet about. On top of that, the CertainTeed products we install carry their own manufacturer warranties, ranging from 20 years up to 50 years on the premium shingle lines. So you are protected two ways: by us on the install and by the manufacturer on the materials. We put it all in writing before any work starts.

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.
