Why Medina Homeowners Are Choosing Metal Roofing

Medina, Ohio experiences some of the most challenging weather conditions in the Midwest. With an average annual precipitation of 42 inches, 48 inches of snowfall, freezing winters with temperatures regularly dropping below 20°F, scorching summers exceeding 85°F, and severe storms bringing high winds and hail, your roof faces relentless year-round challenges. Traditional asphalt shingles simply can’t keep up with these extreme conditions, often requiring replacement every 15-20 years.

Metal roofing offers a superior alternative that’s specifically engineered to withstand Northeast Ohio’s harsh climate while providing substantial long-term benefits:

Exceptional Longevity & Durability

While asphalt shingles deteriorate under constant freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure, professionally installed metal roofs from Eagle Eye Roofing last 50-70 years with minimal maintenance. Our premium steel and aluminum roofing systems are designed to resist:

• Wind Damage: Rated to withstand winds up to 140 mph, protecting your Medina home during severe storms
• Impact Resistance: Class 4 hail rating means our metal roofs can handle large hailstones without denting or cracking
• Ice Dam Prevention: Metal roofing’s smooth surface and superior snow-shedding capabilities prevent dangerous ice dams that plague traditional roofing materials
• Fire Resistance: Class A fire rating provides maximum protection for your family and property
• Moisture Protection: Interlocking panel systems with concealed fasteners create watertight barriers against Medina’s heavy rainfall

Significant Energy Savings

Ohio summers can drive cooling costs through the roof – unless you have a metal roof. Our advanced reflective metal roofing systems featuring Kynar 500® and PVDF coatings reflect up to 70% of solar radiant heat, keeping your home significantly cooler. When properly installed with adequate attic ventilation and insulation, Medina homeowners report energy savings of 20-30% on summer cooling bills.

In winter, metal roofing’s thermal properties help prevent heat loss, creating a more energy-efficient envelope for your home year-round. Over the 50+ year lifespan of your metal roof, these energy savings can amount to tens of thousands of dollars.

Superior Return on Investment

A metal roof isn’t just an expense – it’s a smart investment in your Medina property. Studies consistently show that metal roofing increases home resale value by 1-6%, with many homeowners recouping 85-95% of their installation costs upon sale. Prospective buyers in Medina County recognize the value of a home that won’t need a roof replacement for decades.

Additionally, many insurance companies offer premium discounts of 20-35% for homes with impact-resistant metal roofing, providing immediate ongoing savings that offset your investment.

Environmentally Responsible Choice

Unlike asphalt shingles that send millions of tons of waste to landfills annually, metal roofing is:

• 100% Recyclable: At the end of its 50+ year lifespan, every component can be recycled
• Made from Recycled Content: Our steel roofing typically contains 25-95% recycled materials
• Energy Efficient: Reduced cooling loads mean lower carbon footprint
• Long-Lasting: One metal roof replaces 3-4 asphalt roofs over the same timespan, dramatically reducing waste

Comprehensive Metal Roofing Services Throughout Medina, OH

Steel Roofing Installation – Premium Protection for Medina Properties

Steel roofing represents the gold standard in residential and commercial roofing protection. Our expert steel roofing installation service delivers:

Standing Seam Steel Roofing: The most popular choice for Medina homeowners seeking modern aesthetics and maximum weather protection. This premium system features vertical panels with concealed fasteners that interlock at raised seams, creating an impenetrable barrier against water infiltration. Perfect for properties throughout Historic Medina Square and Downtown Medina, standing seam roofing offers clean architectural lines and unmatched performance.

Stone-Coated Steel Shingles: Combining the durability of steel with the traditional appearance of architectural shingles, slate, or cedar shake, stone-coated steel provides the best of both worlds. Homeowners in East Medina and West Medina neighborhoods appreciate this option for its ability to complement historic home styles while providing modern protection.

Corrugated Steel Panels: Ideal for agricultural buildings, commercial properties, and budget-conscious homeowners in North Medina and South Medina, corrugated steel panels deliver exceptional performance at competitive pricing. The wavy pattern adds structural rigidity while efficiently channeling water and snow off your roof.

Our steel roofing systems come with:

• Kynar 500® Premium Finish: Fade-resistant coatings that maintain vibrant color for decades
• 26-29 Gauge Steel: Commercial-grade thickness for maximum durability

• Custom Color Selection: 40+ colors to match any architectural style

Aluminum Roofing Contractors – Lightweight Strength for Medina Homes

Aluminum roofing offers unique advantages that make it particularly suitable for certain Medina properties:

Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, aluminum naturally resists rust and corrosion, making it ideal for homes near water features or in high-humidity areas of Medina County. Properties near the Black River Reservoir or Lake Medina particularly benefit from aluminum’s corrosion-resistant properties.

Lightweight Construction: At approximately one-third the weight of steel, aluminum roofing places minimal stress on your home’s structure. This makes it an excellent choice for older homes in the Historic Medina Square district where structural considerations are paramount, or for homes with existing structural limitations.

Superior Reflectivity: Aluminum’s natural reflective properties provide exceptional energy efficiency without additional coatings, though we recommend premium paint finishes for aesthetic durability and color retention.

Saltwater Resistance: For homeowners with pools or in areas where road salt is heavily used during Medina’s harsh winters, aluminum won’t corrode like unprotected steel can.

Our aluminum roofing options include:

• Architectural Aluminum Shingles: Traditional appearance with modern performance
• Aluminum Standing Seam: Sleek contemporary styling for modern Medina homes
• Corrugated Aluminum Panels: Cost-effective protection for outbuildings and commercial structures
• Custom Aluminum Fabrication: Tailored solutions for unique architectural requirements

Metal Roof Replacement & Retrofit Services

If your existing asphalt shingle roof is approaching the end of its lifespan, showing signs of weather damage, or simply can’t keep up with Medina’s demanding climate, our metal roof replacement service provides a permanent solution.

Over-Roof Installation: In many cases, we can install your new metal roofing system directly over your existing asphalt shingles, eliminating costly tear-off expenses, reducing project timeline, and keeping waste out of landfills. Our team carefully evaluates your existing roof structure to determine if this cost-saving option is suitable for your Medina property.

Complete Tear-Off & Replacement: For roofs with underlying structural issues, water damage, or excessive layers, we recommend complete removal and replacement. This allows us to inspect and repair roof decking, update ventilation systems, and ensure your new metal roof is installed on a solid, properly prepared foundation.

Structural Assessment: Before any metal roof installation, our certified inspectors thoroughly evaluate your roof structure, identifying any repairs needed to support your new metal roofing system for decades to come.
