You can see daylight through the attic boards where shingles tore off in last month's storm. The brown stain on the upstairs ceiling keeps spreading after every rain. TruRoof handles full roof replacements for homes across Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana.
Why You Can Trust Us
If your asphalt shingles are curling at the edges or missing after a storm, it's time. Granules in the gutters look like coarse black sand. You might see daylight through the attic boards. Water stains on bedroom ceilings spread after heavy rain. These are signs your roof needs a full replacement, not just a patch.
Every storm brings new leaks. You move furniture and set out buckets. The upstairs hallway smells musty. You worry about mold in the drywall and insulation. Your home insurance might not cover damage if the roof was already failing. The longer you wait, the more the decking rots underneath.
TruRoof starts by protecting your landscaping with tarps and plywood barriers. The crew tears off every shingle and underlayment down to the wood deck. TruRoof replaces any rotted or soft decking boards. New synthetic underlayment and ice and water shield go on to seal the roof. Shingles or standing seam metal panels are fastened according to manufacturer specs. At the end, the crew sweeps the ground with a magnetic roller to pick up every nail. Your written estimate covers all this work before a single shingle is removed.
After the job, your attic stays dark and dry. Ceilings stay clean, even through Ohio Valley storms. You can put the buckets away and stop checking the weather. Your home is sealed tight for decades. You sleep through the rain without a second thought.

Roof problems we fix
How much does it cost to replace a roof
You know the roof is near the end. The number you have in your head is a guess and the two quotes you found online are a thousand miles apart.
Get a written, itemized estimate that shows squares, tear-off, decking, underlayment and shingle grade so you can compare like for like.
Should a 20 year old roof be replaced
The roof is around 20 years old. It is not leaking yet, but the shingles look tired and every insurance renewal asks about its age.
A free inspection tells you whether you have years left or whether waiting risks a leak and a denied claim.
Roof replacement quote seems too high
You got a quote and the number stopped you cold. You do not know if that is the going rate in Greater Cincinnati or if you are being taken.
Compare a second itemized quote and check what is driving the price: roof size, pitch, layers to remove, decking repairs, material grade.
Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house
You need a new roof. You don't want to call three companies just to get a ballpark. You want a real number before you start.
For a typical Cincinnati home, an asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement runs roughly $8,000 to $15,000 depending on pitch, layers, and shingle grade. Metal runs higher. Get a written estimate with line items so you can compare apples to apples.
How much does a new roof cost
Your roof is old. You start getting quotes and they are all over the place. You do not know what a fair price is for a new roof on a house your size.
A new roof cost depends on size, pitch, material, and how many layers need to be torn off. Get a written estimate that breaks down the work item by item. In Cincinnati, a typical asphalt shingle roof can range from $8,000 to $15,000, but the only way to know is to have a roofer measure your home.
How to choose a roofing contractor
You need a new roof. You are scared of picking a bad contractor who will cut corners, take your money, or disappear if something goes wrong. You do not know what questions to ask.
Ask for a local address and a written estimate. Check that they have insurance and a license. Read reviews and ask for references. A good contractor will walk you through the job, not just hand you a number. Get at least three quotes before you decide.
How to choose between shingle and metal roof
You need a new roof. You've heard metal lasts longer but costs more. You don't know if it's worth it for your house.
Asphalt shingles cost less upfront and last 20 to 30 years. Metal lasts 40 to 70 years and handles high winds better. If you plan to stay in the home long-term, metal often wins. If you're selling soon, shingles make more sense.
When is the best time to replace a roof in Ohio
Your roof is fading. You know it needs to be replaced, but you are not sure if you should do it now or wait until spring. You do not want to install a roof in bad weather and have it fail.
In Cincinnati, roofing can be done most of the year, but the best time is late spring through early fall when temperatures are steady. Shingles need warmth to seal properly. If you must replace in winter, a good crew can still do it, but you may need to plan around cold snaps.
How long does a roof repair take
You have a leak and it's raining. You need to know if a repair is a one-day job or if you need to make other plans.
Most small repairs take 2 to 4 hours. A tarp for an emergency leak can go up the same day. A full replacement takes 1 to 3 days depending on size and weather. Ask for a clear timeline before work starts.
How long does a roof replacement take
You are planning a roof replacement. You need to know how many days the crew will be on your property and if you need to stay somewhere else.
A typical asphalt shingle roof on a single-family home takes one to three days. Tear-off, repair of any bad decking, and new shingle installation happen in stages. You can stay in your home during the work. More complex roofs or metal roofs may take a few days longer.
