How to choose a roofing contractor without getting burned
A straight answer for homeowners in Middletown, OH, from TruRoof. Free roof inspection and written estimate.
You need roof work in Middletown. Maybe you saw a leak after that last storm off State Route 122. Or your home near Far Hills is 20 years old and the shingles look tired. You are scared of hiring someone who will take your money and vanish. This page helps you pick the right contractor.
Start by looking at what you can see. Curled shingles, dark streaks, or granules in the gutter mean your roof is aging. Water spots on the ceiling tell you there is a leak. A good contractor will climb up and show you photos of the damage. They will explain what needs fixing and why. If someone just hands you a number without walking the roof, that is a red flag.
The cost of a new roof in Middletown depends on size, pitch, and materials. A simple asphalt shingle roof on a ranch home costs less than a steep, cut-up roof on a two-story. Most jobs take a few days. A full tear-off costs more than an overlay. A free inspection with a written estimate gives you a real number, not a guess. Get at least three quotes before you decide.
This week, ask every contractor for a local address and proof of insurance. Check their license and read reviews. Call TruRoof for a free roof inspection. We will walk you through the job, hand you photos, and give you a written estimate with no pressure. A good contractor wants you to understand the work, not just sign a contract.
Once the job is done, you stop worrying every time it rains. Your home stays dry. You have a warranty and a contractor who answers the phone. The roof is one less thing on your list.
What people in Middletown say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
Other things people in Middletown ask
how much should a roof inspection cost
Our inspections are free and come with photos and a written report you keep, whether or not you hire us.
what does a roof inspection include
Shingles, flashing, penetrations, gutters, attic ventilation and decking, documented with photos.
why do i keep getting calls about roof inspections
Storm chasers follow hail maps. Use a local, licensed company that will still be here in five years.
attic wet after rain
Mark the wet area with tape. Check the roof directly above it for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or a bad pipe boot. Water travels downhill, so the entry point may be higher than the stain. Get a pro to trace it before it rots the decking.
shingles curling and losing granules
Curling and granule loss mean the shingles are past the middle of their life. A few bad shingles can be replaced. If it is widespread, start budgeting for a tear-off. Get an inspection with photos so you can see the truth.
