A Dedicated Cuyahoga County Roofing Team, Backed by a Family Owned Company
Cleveland and Cuyahoga County are one of our main markets, so we run a designated Cleveland team led by Tyler Clauson, our Cleveland branch manager. For many homeowners Tyler is the first person they meet: he walks the roof, documents what he finds with photographs, and explains whether the damage calls for a repair, a full roof replacement or an insurance claim.
Behind the Cleveland team is a family owned, veteran owned company founded in 2014 by Kerri Leggett and Dean Ball. Kerri brings years of expertise in the roofing and siding industry, and Dean brings hands on construction experience and the discipline he learned in the Marine Corps. Our Canton home office sits straight down I-77 from downtown Cleveland, and every Cuyahoga County job carries the same inspection standard and the same 12 year workmanship warranty as our work at home.
Roofing in Cuyahoga County
Cuyahoga County Roof Replacement and Repair, From the Lakefront to the Heights
Cuyahoga County runs from the Lake Erie shoreline at Edgewater Park through the city of Cleveland, out to the inner ring suburbs like Lakewood, Parma and Cleveland Heights, and on to outer communities like Strongsville, Westlake and Solon. Our Cleveland team handles roof replacement, roof repair, storm damage inspections and emergency leak repair across the county, along with siding and seamless gutters.
Every job starts with a free inspection documented to the HAAG standard, and completed work carries our 12 year workmanship warranty, with nothing due until you are satisfied.
Communities we serve
Roofing Services Across Cleveland and Its Suburbs
Cuyahoga County is almost entirely made up of separate cities, each with its own building department, so we treat every community on its own terms.

East Side and West Side: Two Different Winters on a Cleveland Roof
Snow does not fall evenly across Cuyahoga County. NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 normals put Cleveland Hopkins Airport, on the west side, at 63.8 inches a season. The National Weather Service counts the eastern half of Cuyahoga County as part of Northeast Ohio’s primary snowbelt, where normals run from 70 to more than 100 inches as lake effect bands come off Lake Erie.
That difference changes what a roof needs. On the east side and in the Heights, deep snow and long freeze and thaw stretches make ice dams the main winter threat, so ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, balanced attic ventilation and sealed attic floors matter most. On the west side, lakefront homes from Edgewater to Bay Village take wind off open water, which tests shingle edges, ridges and gutters. We inspect for the conditions your side of the county actually sees, and our ice dam roof repair page covers the east side problem in detail.
Roofing Permits Across Cuyahoga County
Almost all of Cuyahoga County is incorporated, and every suburb, from Lakewood and Parma to Euclid and Cleveland Heights, runs its own building department with its own permits, fees and inspections. Inside the city limits, the Cleveland Department of Building and Housing requires a residential permit to reroof, apply siding or install gutters.
Mailing addresses make this easy to get wrong, because plenty of suburban homes carry a Cleveland address. We confirm which municipality actually covers your parcel, then pull the right permit and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
Older Homes, Storm Damage and What Cuyahoga County Roofs Need
Cuyahoga County’s inner ring is old housing by any measure. Census figures put the median home in Cleveland Heights at 1938, with 59 percent built before 1940, while the wider Greater Cleveland area has a median build year of 1969. Older roofs here often hide plank decking, multiple layers of shingles and chimney flashing patched for decades, so every recommendation we make starts with a documented inspection from the decking up.
Storms add to that. Hail and wind damage is rarely visible from the ground, and we photograph every finding to the HAAG standard before any tarp goes on, then tell you plainly whether it looks like it would support an insurance claim. See how we handle storm damage and insurance claims, or call for emergency roof repair if water is getting in.
Common questions
Cuyahoga County Roofing Questions
Who will I work with on a Cuyahoga County roofing job?
Our designated Cleveland team, led by Tyler Clauson, our Cleveland branch manager. Tyler or a member of his team handles the inspection and walks you through the findings, and every job is backed by the same owners, inspection standard and 12 year workmanship warranty as the rest of our work.
Who issues roofing permits in Cuyahoga County?
It depends on the city. Cleveland’s Department of Building and Housing handles permits inside the city limits, and each suburb, such as Lakewood, Parma, Euclid or Cleveland Heights, runs its own building department. We confirm which one covers your parcel and pull the permit as part of the job.
Do east side homes really get more snow than the west side?
Yes. NOAA normals put Cleveland Hopkins Airport on the west side at 63.8 inches a season, while the National Weather Service places the eastern half of Cuyahoga County in the primary snowbelt, where normals run from 70 to over 100 inches. That is why ice dam prevention matters most on east side and Heights roofs.
Do you replace siding and gutters in Cleveland suburbs too?
Yes. Along with roof replacement and repair, we replace vinyl siding with the sheathing inspected underneath and install seamless gutters sized to your roof, with guards where tree cover justifies them.
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection is free, documented to the HAAG standard, and you keep the photographs whether you hire us or not. If your roof does not need work, we will tell you that.
