Frequently asked questions
These are the questions we hear most from homeowners and building owners around Dayton, with straight answers.
Services
How do I know if I need a repair or a full roof replacement?
A few missing shingles, a leak at the chimney flashing or a worn valley can usually be repaired. If the roof is near the end of its life, leaks in several places, has soft decking, or shows widespread curling and granule loss, replacement is usually the better use of your money. We'll look at it and tell you which one makes sense, and the estimate is free.
How long does a typical asphalt shingle roof last here?
It depends on the shingle and the attic. In southwest Ohio, most asphalt shingle roofs last roughly 20 to 30 years. Older 3-tab shingles usually fall at the low end of that range and architectural shingles at the high end. Freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat and poor attic ventilation all shorten that life, so a roof past 20 years with curled shingles or bare spots is worth an inspection.
Do you handle storm damage and insurance claims?
Yes. We repair wind and hail damage, and we help homeowners work through the insurance claim and coordinate with the insurance company. Emergency service is available 24/7 if a storm leaves your roof open or leaking. More on our storm damage repair page.
What roofing materials do you install?
We install asphalt shingle, cedar shake and metal roofs on homes, and TPO membrane on flat and low-slope commercial roofs. We're certified installers for CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO and Tamko, and we're a CertainTeed 5-Star Installer. We also handle skylights and roof ventilation as part of a new roof.
Do you work on commercial roofs?
Yes. We install and repair TPO roofs on commercial buildings. See our commercial roofing page, or call for a free estimate.
Can you do gutters and siding at the same time as a new roof?
What causes ice dams, and can you remove them?
Ice dams form when heat escaping from the attic melts snow on the roof, and the water refreezes at the colder eaves and gutters. They're common in Ohio winters and can push water under shingles. We do ice dam removal, and we can look at your roof ventilation to help keep them from coming back.
Do you install fences and gates?
Yes. We install privacy, vinyl, wood, pool and ornamental fences, along with swing and sliding gates. We also stain fences. See fencing and gates for more.
