Roofers are independent. Any roofer you speak with through this site runs a separate business. We don't employ, supervise or guarantee them. Ohio doesn't issue a state license for home roofing, so ask any roofer for proof of liability insurance, workers' comp where it applies, written warranties and a written, itemized contract.

Costs are estimates. Price figures on this site come from published sources, labeled with the source and year (for example, This Old House, 2026 and HomeBlue, 2024). Real prices depend on your roof's size, pitch, layers, decking and material, and on the roofer you hire.

Rules can change. Permit and consumer-law summaries reflect public sources we read on the dates shown. City offices and the Ohio legislature can change them. Confirm permit questions with your city or county building office before work starts.

Insurance. The Ohio Department of Insurance advises homeowners not to let a contractor negotiate or settle their claim. Only a public adjuster holding an Ohio license may represent you for pay. We never handle claims.

Storm history. Storm facts come from the National Weather Service office in Wilmington, OH and FEMA records. They describe past events and say nothing about the condition of any particular roof.
