Union Furnace, OH Roof Installation & Repair

GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with StrikeZone nailing area for Class 4 impact resistance rated to UL 2218. We install the full GAF Roof System. Cobra ridge vent, FeltBuster synthetic underlayment, Starter Match starter strip, and Seal-A-Ridge caps. That qualifies your Union Furnace home for the Golden Pledge warranty: 25-year workmanship plus 50-year material.

Roof repairs get worse when you ignore them. A $400 flashing repair turns into $4,000 of water damage inside the wall. Our Union Furnace crew can usually get there within 48 hours for non-emergency repairs.

Our storm damage process: free inspection, full photo documentation, direct filing with your insurance carrier, meet the adjuster on-site, and handle the repairs once approved. We don't ask for money upfront on insurance claims.

We install new roofs on new construction, room additions, detached garages, and covered patios. Our Union Furnace crews handle residential and light commercial. Standard install time is 1-3 days depending on size.

Metal roofing in Ohio makes sense. It reflects heat, handles high winds, and sheds hail better than shingles. We install standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle panels.

Designer shingles like GAF Camelot and Owens Corning Berkshire mimic slate and cedar shake. Higher cost than standard architectural, but the look is incredible. We install all designer profiles in Union Furnace.

Flat roofs need special attention. Water doesn't run off, it sits. We install TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems designed to handle ponding water in Ohio's climate.

TPO is our most-requested commercial membrane in Ohio. Reflective, energy-efficient, and it welds together at the seams for a watertight bond. We install 60-mil and 80-mil systems with 15-20 year manufacturer warranties.

Improperly sized gutters cause fascia board rot and foundation erosion. We calculate gutter capacity using the rainfall intensity formula: roof square footage x pitch factor x rainfall rate (inches/hr for Union Furnace). Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 sq ft of effective roof area. Bigger roofs or steeper pitches need 6" gutters with 3x4" downspouts. We hang with hidden hangers screwed into rafter tails every 24".

Annual roof inspections catch small problems before they become expensive ones. A cracked pipe boot is a $150 fix. Ignoring it means $3,000 in ceiling and wall water damage. We recommend an inspection every 2-3 years for roofs under 10 years old, and annually after that.

Emergency roof repairs for active water intrusion follow a strict protocol: tarping with reinforced polyethylene sheeting secured to the roof deck, interior water extraction guidance, and temporary flashing at penetrations. Our Union Furnace emergency crews carry 20x30 tarps, 2x4 nailer boards, and masonry anchors for various deck types. Permanent repairs are scheduled within 48-72 hours once materials are sourced.

Skylight installation costs $1,200-$3,500 in Union Furnace depending on size, type, and roof pitch. That includes the unit, flashing kit, interior trim, and roof patch-in. We handle everything from the outside in.
