Roof replacement questions from Medina, Ohio homeowners

Guttrz does. It is a locally owned company in North Canton, roughly 45 minutes from Medina, and this site is its Medina roofing address. The phone is answered around the clock, and if you send a request online a text or call comes back within the hour.

Asphalt shingle roof replacement with a full tear-off, roof repairs such as pipe boots, flashing and nail pops, skylight and chimney flashing work, and free roof inspections. Gutters can be replaced the same week as the roof. Flat roofs, metal, slate and tile are not offered.

An average home is commonly finished in one to two days once work begins. A large roof, a steep Victorian near Public Square, or a deck that needs many sheets replaced can add a day, and so can rain.

Not if the house already has two layers. Medina's roof guidelines require a tear-off with two or more layers of any roof covering, and also where the existing shingles are curled or the old roof is too deteriorated to serve as a base. Every replacement quoted here is a full tear-off regardless, because the deck cannot be checked any other way.

The bad sheets come out and new decking goes in before any underlayment is laid. How deck repairs are handled is written on your quote, so that question is settled before the first shingle is pulled. The city also asks that an inspection be called before rotted wood is covered again.

Your mailing address will say Medina either way, so it is no help. The county auditor's parcel record shows the taxing district, which names the City of Medina or a township such as Medina, Montville, Lafayette or York. That answer decides which building office your roof falls under.

No. The inspection and the photo report are free, and no money changes hands at that visit. Payment terms for a replacement are written on the quote, and you have a year to decide on it.

No. The written price is good for one year from its date. A quote written in December covers an install the following spring at the same figure, provided the scope is the same.

An architectural asphalt shingle, the laminated two-layer kind. In the Midwest that type typically lasts 25 to 30 years and commonly carries a wind rating between 110 and 130 mph. You choose the color with the owner, at your house.

Yes, when the roof is asphalt shingle and is staying asphalt shingle. Properties in the district need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board before exterior changes, so allow time for that. If the board expects slate to remain slate, you need a slate roofer.

Two things. The shingle manufacturer provides a warranty on its product, and Guttrz gives a written workmanship warranty on the install. Both sets of terms appear on the quote itself, where you can study them before saying yes.

You should be reachable, and someone needs to be home if the attic is to be checked from inside. Otherwise the work happens outside. It is loud, so many people plan to be out during the tear-off hours.

Book the free inspection now. Once you have the photo report and a written quote, you can accept it whenever you are ready inside the year, and an install date in spring 2027 is set with you at that point.
