Roof Repair For Kent Homes
Most roof problems on Kent homes are local: a handful of blown-off shingles, a cracked pipe boot, a flashing joint that has opened up at a wall or chimney. If the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is the right answer and we will say so.
We work Kent from our Wadsworth office, about 35 min away. Every repair starts with a free inspection so we fix the cause, not just the stain on the ceiling.

- Cracked rubber pipe boots, the most common leak we find

Local Factors In Kent
Weather
The weather pattern in Kent matters: winter runs longer and wetter here than anywhere else in Ohio, which is why a shingle rated for thirty years rarely gets there in this county.
Housing
There is a pattern to the homes in Kent as well: the housing here skews considerably older than central Ohio, which means steeper pitches, cut-up rooflines and decks that have seen three roofs.
When A Repair Is Not Worth It
- The roof is near the end of its life and failing in several places
- Shingles are brittle enough to crack when lifted for a repair
- The same area has leaked more than twice
- Damage covers more than one slope after a storm
Cost Of Roof Repair In Kent
Most repairs are priced by what is involved: number of shingles, flashing work, access and pitch. A pipe boot is a small job; rebuilding flashing at a chimney is a bigger one. You get the number in writing before we start.
