Professional Roof Replacement in New Franklin, OH

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against Northeast Ohio’s harsh weather conditions. When you notice missing shingles, persistent leaks, or your roof has exceeded its 20-25 year lifespan, it’s time to consider a complete roof replacement. Our expert roofing contractors provide comprehensive roof replacement services that combine premium materials with superior craftsmanship.

We begin every roof replacement project with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure, including the decking, ventilation systems, and underlying framework. This detailed assessment allows us to identify any hidden damage from water infiltration, ice dams, or structural concerns that could compromise your new roof installation. Unlike competitors who rush through inspections, we take the time to document everything with detailed photographs and measurements, ensuring complete transparency throughout your project.

Our new roof installation process includes:

Complete Tear-Off and Disposal: We safely remove all existing roofing materials, including multiple layers if present, and haul away all debris. Your property is protected with tarps during removal to safeguard landscaping, and we run industrial magnets across your entire yard twice to ensure no nails or fasteners are left behind where your family walks.

Deck Inspection and Repair: Once old materials are removed, our certified roofers inspect every inch of roof decking for water damage, rot, or structural weakness. Any compromised boards are replaced with quality plywood or OSB to create a solid foundation for your new roof.

Advanced Weather Protection: New Franklin’s position in Northeast Ohio means your roof must withstand freezing winters, ice dams, heavy snow loads, and severe summer storms. We install ice and water shield protection along all eaves, valleys, and critical penetration points to prevent leak pathways. This crucial underlayment layer stops water infiltration even when ice dams form during those brutal January cold snaps.

Premium Roofing Materials: We exclusively use architectural shingles from industry-leading manufacturers including GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. These materials are specifically engineered to handle Ohio’s temperature extremes – from sub-zero winter nights to 90-degree summer days – without cracking, warping, or losing granules prematurely.

Superior Ventilation Systems: Proper attic ventilation is critical in New Franklin’s climate. We install balanced intake and exhaust ventilation to prevent heat buildup in summer (which can shorten shingle life by years) and moisture accumulation in winter (which leads to mold growth and insulation damage).

Expert Flashing Installation: All chimneys, skylights, plumbing vents, and wall intersections receive custom-fit flashing made from corrosion-resistant materials. This custom metalwork is sealed and secured to provide decades of leak-free performance.

The average cost for roof replacement in New Franklin typically ranges from $7,500 to $13,000 for a standard 2,000 square foot home with architectural shingles, though costs vary based on roof complexity, material selection, and the extent of decking repairs needed. We provide transparent, written estimates that break down all costs – no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Your new roof will be installed correctly the first time, with manufacturer certifications that provide the strongest warranties available.

Emergency Roof Repair Services Throughout New Franklin

Roofing emergencies don’t wait for convenient timing. When severe thunderstorms roll through Summit County bringing damaging hail and high winds, or when winter ice dams cause sudden leaks, you need a local roofing contractor who responds quickly. Our emergency roof repair services provide rapid response to protect your home from further damage.

We understand that small leaks quickly become major problems. Water infiltration can damage ceilings, walls, insulation, and even your home’s electrical systems. Our experienced roofers identify the source of leaks – which isn’t always directly above the visible water damage – and implement permanent repairs that prevent recurrence.

Common roof repairs we handle include:

• Storm Damage Restoration: High winds can tear off shingles, damage flashing, and even lift entire sections of roofing. We work directly with your insurance company to document damage, provide detailed estimates, and handle your entire claim process from inspection through final restoration.
• Ice Dam Remediation: New Franklin’s freeze-thaw cycles create perfect conditions for ice dams along roof eaves. When melting snow refreezes at the roof edge, it creates a dam that forces water under shingles. We safely remove ice dams, repair any resulting damage, and implement prevention strategies including enhanced insulation and ventilation.
• Leak Detection and Repair: Not all roof leaks are obvious. Our expert technicians use proven diagnostic methods to trace leaks to their source, whether it’s damaged flashing around your chimney, compromised valley metal, or failed pipe boots.
• Wind Damage Repairs: Severe thunderstorms with straight-line winds can lift shingles, damage ridge caps, and tear off soffit and fascia. We provide comprehensive wind damage repairs that restore your roof’s integrity.
• Hail Damage Assessment: Hail storms can compromise shingle integrity even when damage isn’t immediately visible. We provide thorough hail damage inspections and work with insurance adjusters to ensure proper claim handling.

Roof Inspections and Maintenance

Preventive maintenance extends your roof’s lifespan and prevents minor issues from becoming expensive emergencies. Our comprehensive roof inspections examine every component of your roofing system, from shingle condition and flashing integrity to ventilation adequacy and structural soundness.

We recommend New Franklin homeowners schedule professional roof inspections twice yearly – once in spring after winter’s harsh conditions, and again in fall before winter weather arrives. These inspections identify small problems early when repairs are simple and affordable. Our detailed inspection reports include photographs, condition assessments, and recommendations prioritized by urgency.

Serving New Franklin’s Distinct Neighborhoods

Downtown New Franklin Roofing Services

The historic Downtown New Franklin area features a diverse mix of architectural styles spanning over a century. These established homes often have complex rooflines, multiple dormers, and unique features requiring specialized expertise. We’ve worked extensively throughout Downtown New Franklin, understanding the specific needs of these properties.

Many downtown homes feature steep roof pitches, multiple valleys, and intricate flashing details around chimneys and dormers. These architectural elements require experienced roofers who understand historical building methods while implementing modern weatherproofing techniques. We preserve your home’s character while upgrading its protection.

Downtown properties also benefit from mature tree canopy, which provides shade but increases moss and algae growth on roof surfaces. Our shingle selections include algae-resistant granules that maintain your roof’s appearance and prevent the organic growth that can shorten shingle life.

Portage Lakes Area Roofing Contractors

The Portage Lakes area is one of New Franklin’s most desirable locations, with waterfront and water-view properties around this beautiful chain of lakes. Homes in this neighborhood face unique roofing challenges from increased humidity, occasional flooding concerns, and mature lakeside vegetation.

Proximity to water increases moisture exposure, making proper ventilation absolutely critical. Without adequate airflow, attic moisture condenses on roof decking, promoting wood rot and mold growth. We design ventilation systems specifically for Portage Lakes properties, ensuring balanced air movement that removes moisture before it causes damage.

Many Portage Lakes homes feature more complex architectural designs with multiple roof planes, dormers, and integrated porches. These design elements create additional valleys, penetrations, and intersections where leaks commonly develop. Our expertise in complex residential roofing ensures every junction is properly flashed and sealed.

Waterfront properties also experience more severe weather exposure from storms moving across the lakes. We recommend impact-resistant shingles rated for severe weather and implement enhanced wind resistance installation techniques including supplemental fastening patterns.

Manchester Neighborhood Roofing Experts

Manchester’s established neighborhood features primarily single-family homes on generous lots with mature landscaping. These properties often include ranch-style homes, split-levels, and bi-levels built from the 1960s through 1990s, many now requiring their second roof replacement.

We’ve worked extensively throughout Manchester, understanding the common roofing configurations in this area. Many homes feature simple gable or hip roofs that allow for efficient, cost-effective replacement. However, proper preparation remains critical – we’ve encountered numerous homes where previous contractors neglected adequate ventilation installation, leading to premature shingle failure.

Manchester homeowners appreciate our careful attention to property protection during roofing projects. Mature landscaping represents years of investment, and we take extensive precautions to protect shrubs, flower beds, and lawn areas. Our crews use protective tarps, stage materials in designated areas, and conduct thorough cleanup to ensure your property looks pristine when we complete your project.

Premium Roofing Materials for New Franklin’s Climate

Architectural Asphalt Shingles

Architectural shingles represent the optimal combination of performance, aesthetics, and value for New Franklin homes. Unlike basic 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles feature multiple material layers creating dimensional appearance and enhanced durability.

We install premium architectural shingles from industry leaders:

GAF Timberline HDZ®: These advanced shingles incorporate LayerLock® technology and exceptional wind resistance rated to 130 mph winds. GAF’s StrikeZone® nailing area provides larger installation targets, ensuring proper fastening. Available in over a dozen color options, Timberline HDZ shingles complement any architectural style while providing superior protection for 25+ years.

CertainTeed Landmark Series: CertainTeed’s Landmark shingles feature StreakFighter® algae resistance technology, maintaining your roof’s appearance in New Franklin’s humid conditions. These shingles meet the highest industry impact resistance ratings, protecting against hail damage common in Northeast Ohio. The Landmark PRO line adds enhanced dimensional styling with a lifetime limited warranty.

Owens Corning Duration®: Engineered with patented SureNail® technology, Duration shingles provide exceptional grip strength resisting high winds. These shingles incorporate Owens Corning’s TruDefinition® color platform, offering rich, dimensional colors that maintain vibrancy longer than conventional shingles.

• Wind resistance ratings up to 130 mph
• Impact resistance for hail protection
• Energy Star qualified options for reduced cooling costs

Metal Roofing Systems

Metal roofing is gaining popularity among New Franklin homeowners seeking ultimate durability and energy efficiency. While initial costs exceed asphalt shingles ($12,000-$18,000 versus $7,500-$13,000 for comparable homes), metal roofs provide 40-70 year lifespans and significant energy savings.

Metal roofing advantages in New Franklin’s climate include:

Snow Shedding: Metal’s smooth surface allows snow to slide off naturally, preventing heavy accumulation that stresses roof structures and creates ice dam conditions.

Wind Resistance: Properly installed metal roofing resists hurricane-force winds, protecting your home during severe thunderstorms.

Fire Protection: Metal roofing provides superior fire resistance, earning the highest UL fire ratings.

Energy Efficiency: Reflective metal surfaces reduce cooling costs by reflecting solar heat rather than absorbing it like dark asphalt shingles.

Longevity: Metal roofs outlast asphalt by decades, potentially eliminating the need for a second roof replacement during your home ownership.

We install standing seam metal roofing and metal shingle products in various profiles and colors. Our experienced metal roofing crews understand critical installation details including thermal expansion accommodation, concealed fastening systems, and proper underlayment selection.

Professional Installation

When project day arrives, you can expect professional, efficient service from start to finish:

Day One – Tear-Off and Preparation: Our crews arrive promptly at the scheduled start time with all necessary equipment and materials. We begin by protecting your property – tarps cover landscaping, driveways receive plywood protection, and we identify vulnerable areas requiring extra care.

The existing roof is systematically removed, typically starting at the ridge and working downward. All old shingles, underlayment, and flashings are stripped away and placed directly into our waste containers – no debris lands in your yard.

Once tear-off is complete, we inspect all roof decking carefully. Any damaged or compromised boards are photographed, shown to you for approval, and replaced. This essential step ensures your new roof has a solid, reliable foundation.

Installation Day: With decking prepared, we begin installing your new roofing system following manufacturer specifications and industry best practices:

• Drip edge installed along all eaves and rakes
• Ice and water shield applied to all valleys, eaves (extending at least 24″ inside heated areas), and around all penetrations
• High-quality synthetic underlayment covers remaining deck areas
• All ventilation components installed (ridge vents, soffit vents, power vents as specified)
• Starter strip shingles along all eaves and rakes
• Field shingles installed with precise nailing patterns in manufacturer-specified zones
• Hip and ridge cap shingles finishing all roof peaks
• New flashing installed around chimneys, plumbing vents, skylights, and wall intersections
• All edges sealed and secured

Most New Franklin homes are completed in 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Larger homes or those with multiple dormers and complex details may require an additional day.

Cleanup and Final Inspection: Before we consider your project complete, our crews conduct thorough cleanup including:

• All debris removed from your property in our containers
• Magnetic sweep of entire property (performed twice) collecting loose nails
• Gutters cleaned of installation debris
• Driveway and walkways blown clean
• Work area inspection ensuring nothing is left behind

We conduct a final walkthrough with you, explaining all work performed, reviewing your warranty information, and answering any remaining questions. We don’t request final payment until you’re completely satisfied with our work.

Warranty Registration and Follow-Up

After project completion, we register your roof with the manufacturer, activating your warranty coverage. We provide you with complete warranty documentation, care and maintenance guidelines, and our contact information for any future questions or concerns.

We stand behind every roof we install. If you notice any concerns in the months and years following installation, simply contact us. We promptly address any warranty-related issues at no cost to you.
