What Kent Roofs Deal With
Weather
Roof life in Kent is shaped by one thing more than any other: the lake adds snow load and drags the freeze-thaw season out, which is why a shingle rated for thirty years rarely gets there in this county.
Housing
Housing in Kent adds a wrinkle: the housing here skews considerably older than central Ohio, which means steeper pitches, cut-up rooflines and decks that have seen three roofs.
Storms
As for storm damage around Kent, ice damming is close to a regional default, and the damage that costs the most is rarely the damage you can see from the driveway.
Every job here starts the same way: a free inspection where someone actually gets on the roof, then a documented report with no obligation attached. You will have a written number inside three business days.
