The honest answer is: it depends on what the inspection finds. The two main factors are how much of your roof's functional life remains and whether the damage is localized or widespread. If your roof has at least 5 years of remaining life and the problem is limited to a specific area - a failed flashing, a cracked pipe boot, a few missing shingles - repair is usually the smarter financial move. If the damage is widespread, the shingles are past their service life, or you're experiencing multiple leak points, replacement is likely the right call. Our 21-Point Inspection gives you a clear, documented answer with no pressure either way.

Pricing depends on the size of your roof, the system you choose, and any additional work required (decking repair, ventilation upgrades, etc.). As a general reference, Ohio Roof Masters' residential replacement systems range from $600 to $750 per roofing square (100 sq ft). For a typical 2,000 sq ft home with a 20-square roof, that puts the investment range between $12,000 and $15,000 before any applicable discounts. Metal roofing systems start at $2,200+ per square for stone-coated steel and $1,400+ per linear foot for standing seam. The most accurate way to get pricing is through our instant online quote tool or a free in-person inspection.

Most residential roof replacements in Ohio are completed in 1–3 days. A straightforward tear-off and replacement on a standard-pitch home is typically done in a single day. Larger homes, steeper pitches, complex rooflines, or roofs requiring significant deck repair may extend the timeline to 2–3 days. Your project timeline is confirmed before scheduling, and any changes are communicated immediately.

The GAF Silver Pledge is the highest level of residential warranty available through a GAF-certified contractor. Unlike a standard contractor warranty, the 10-year workmanship portion of the Silver Pledge is backed directly by GAF - not just by Ohio Roof Masters. That means if our company were no longer in business, GAF would still honor the workmanship warranty on your roof. It also covers the entire GAF roofing system - shingles, underlayment, starter strips, ridge cap, and ventilation components - not just the shingles alone. It's transferable once to a future homeowner, which is a meaningful selling point if you plan to sell.

Directorii is an independent third-party certification and financial guarantee platform. Every registered Ohio Roof Masters project includes Directorii protection covering deposit loss (if we fail to start work after receiving a deposit), contractor fraud, contractor bankruptcy, code and manufacturer non-compliance, workmanship defects, and material failures - up to $250,000 per project. This protection exists independently of our workmanship warranty. For homeowners who've been burned before or who simply want documented proof rather than a contractor's promise, Directorii is the most concrete protection available in the residential roofing market.

Homeowners insurance typically covers damage caused by specific events - wind, hail, falling objects, fire, and ice dams, depending on your policy. It does not cover normal wear and tear, age-related deterioration, or maintenance neglect. If you've had a storm come through your area, Ohio Roof Masters can conduct a full damage assessment, document findings with photos for your insurance adjuster, and help coordinate the claims process. We work with all major insurers and can meet with your adjuster directly.
