Asphalt shingles from the 1980s through early 2000s often curl or cup at the edges once the sun bakes them for twenty years. You might see dark patches where granules have worn off, especially on the south-facing slopes. Inside, a water stain on the ceiling or paint bubbling near the chimney means the shingles above are failing. If you find granules in the downspouts every time it rains, the surface is wearing thin.

You check the weather app more than you used to. A heavy downpour keeps you awake because you know the attic might drip. Wet insulation jacks up your heating bill, and that damp smell in the upstairs hallway doesn't go away. You put off painting the ceiling until the leak is fixed, but the leak isn't fixing itself. Every time the wind gusts, you wonder if more shingles blew off.

TruRoof starts by stripping every layer of old shingle down to the bare wood deck. The crew checks for rot and replaces any bad boards before laying a synthetic underlayment that stops wind-driven rain. New architectural shingles go on with the exact nail pattern the manufacturer requires—usually four nails per shingle in a specific placement. Ridge cap shingles get hand-sealed along the peak. At the end, the crew cleans up all debris and sweeps the yard with a magnet to catch nails. If your gutters or skylight flashing need work, those are separate and we'll give you a price before we start.

You'll have a roof that doesn't leak when it storms. The ceiling stays dry and you stop checking the attic with a flashlight. Your house looks sharp from the street again, and the shingle warranty is actually valid because the install was done right. You can sleep through a downpour without that knot in your stomach.

Our process

  1. 1
    Strip old shingles down to the wood deck
    The crew removes every layer of old roofing until the plywood deck is bare.
  2. 2
    Inspect and replace rotted deck boards
    Any soft or water-damaged wood gets cut out and replaced so the new roof sits on a solid base.
  3. 3
    Install synthetic underlayment
    A waterproof barrier goes down over the entire deck to block wind-driven rain.
  4. 4
    Nail new architectural shingles to manufacturer spec
    Each shingle is fastened with the exact nail pattern and count required to keep the warranty valid.
  5. 5
    Clean up and magnet-sweep the property
    The crew removes all debris and runs a magnet over the ground to pick up stray nails.

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.

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.

The roof is starting to look rough, and I'm worried about water getting in. Every storm, I'm checking the attic for drips. I don't want to replace the whole thing if I don't have to, but those missing shingles aren't going to fix themselves.

Roof problems we fix

How many years does a shingle roof lastYour shingle roof has some age on it and you want to know how long it should go before replacement is the smart move.Most architectural shingles run 20 to 30 years in Ohio weather. Ventilation and installation quality decide which end you land on.
Shingle roof cost for a 2,000 square foot houseYou want a ballpark for a typical house before you invite anyone over. Online calculators disagree.A written estimate priced by roof squares, not house square footage, is the only number that means anything.
Asphalt vs architectural shinglesYou are comparing quotes and one says 3-tab, one says architectural, and the price gap is real.Architectural shingles cost more up front and last longer with better wind ratings. We show both on your house.
Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft houseYou 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 to choose a roofing contractorYou 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 roofYou 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.
Shingle roof vs metal roofYou are deciding between a shingle roof and a metal roof. You have heard metal lasts longer but costs more. You are not sure which one makes sense for your house and your budget.Asphalt shingles cost less upfront and are easy to repair. Metal roofs last much longer, reflect heat, and stand up to high winds. Think about how long you plan to stay in the home. A metal roof pays off over time, but shingles are still the most common choice in Cincinnati neighborhoods.
