New Roof Installation in Medina, OH

Medina sits at the edge of the secondary snowbelt — enough winter to punish shortcuts, not so much that anyone specs for it by default. That edge position is exactly why our installs run the full system: ice and water shield past the warm-wall line (further upslope than code minimum, because code minimum assumes less ice than a bad Medina February delivers), synthetic underlayment, drip edge, and starter courses at eaves and rakes.

Ventilation is designed, not assumed. The intake-to-exhaust balance at the soffit and ridge determines whether the new roof runs cool — which is the difference between a Medina roof that ices its eaves every winter and one that doesn't. On the older square-area homes we frequently correct fifty-year-old ventilation as part of the install, because a perfect shingle job over a hot attic is an ice dam with a warranty.

Tear-off is non-negotiable for us. A layover hides deck condition — and Medina's freeze-thaw finds every soft spot in a deck within two winters. Stripping to wood lets us replace what's compromised, re-nail what's loose, and give the manufacturer warranty a substrate it actually covers.

The schedule runs one to two days for most Medina homes, weather-windowed so the deck never sleeps exposed. If storm damage is what brought you here, start with the roof insurance claim page instead — the sequence changes when a carrier is involved, and the order of operations protects your payout.
