Roofing in Ohio

Ohio sits in the Midwest, where the hail corridor, the lake-effect snow, and the freeze-thaw cycles test every roof. The spring storms bring the hail, the Great Lakes cities face the lake-effect snow, and the humid summers feed the algae on the shaded slopes. Roofing in Ohio means building roofs for the hail, the snow, and the storms — and we do it in 80 cities across the state.

The Roofing Regions of Ohio

The state splits into two main roofing climates, and the roofs need to match each one.

The Northeast Ohio cities — Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, and the Great Lakes towns — face the lake-effect snow and the cold winters. The ice-and-water shield at the eaves is essential.

The central and southern cities — Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, and the Ohio River towns — face the hail and the spring storms. The impact-rated shingles handle the hail the best.

Ohio Roofing Considerations

The hail is the dominant force across the state. The spring and summer storms drop the hail that bruises the shingle mats and knocks the granules loose. The post-storm inspection and the insurance claim are the standard practice.

The lake-effect snow hits the Northeast Ohio cities. The Great Lakes drop the heavy snow on Cleveland, Erie, and the surrounding towns.

The freeze-thaw cycles stress the flashing and the seals. The temperature swings through the winter open the gaps that the spring rain finds.
