Italianate brick home in downtown Toledo with restored slate-pattern roof

Roofing in Toledo, OH.

Toledo sits about 50 miles northeast of our Napoleon shop. We get there off US-24 along the Maumee or up I-475 from the south. The city is bigger than every other town in our service area combined, and the housing stock shows it. The Old West End around Bancroft and Robinwood holds some of the best brick housing in the Midwest. Old Orchard near the University of Toledo runs newer but still pre-war. West Toledo around Ottawa Park is bungalows and capes. Oregon, on the east side of the Maumee, is ranches and split-levels. Sylvania up north has affluent newer construction.

That range is what makes Toledo different from anywhere else we work. The Old West End might want a slate-pattern architectural shingle on a 1905 Foursquare. A house in Sylvania might want standing seam metal on a 2018 build. We can do both, and we know which is right for which house.

If you want to see how we run a residential roof from inspection through final cleanup, the residential roofing page walks through it. Same process in Toledo as anywhere else.

Italianate home with restored roof in the Old West End, Toledo

Old West End, Old Orchard, and Toledo's older homes.

The Old West End is one of the largest collections of late-Victorian and Edwardian housing in the country. Italianates, Queen Annes, Tudor Revivals, and Foursquares packed onto blocks between Bancroft and Monroe. Old Orchard, just south of UT, has its own mix of 1920s brick and stucco with cut-up rooflines and dormer details. These houses are not 1990s ranches, and their roofs do not get treated like 1990s ranches.

On older Toledo homes, the deck is often plank instead of plywood. The pitches run steep. The flashing details around chimneys, dormers, and turrets were fabricated by hand a century ago. We slow the work down, replace failed decking instead of nailing through it, hand-detail the flashing, and choose shingle profiles that read correctly against brick. When a slate roof is still serviceable, we tell the owner that before quoting a tear-off. The character of the house carries real value, and we treat it that way.

Storm damage and insurance work in Lucas County.

Toledo gets hit. Lake Erie weather pushes thunderstorms through Lucas County hard, and hail events have come through the metro often enough that most homeowners have a claim story. Tornado warnings are not rare here. After a real event, we drive the affected neighborhoods, document damage on every house we are called to with drone photography, and write a scope your adjuster can actually read.

Where we add value is the in-between. We meet adjusters on the roof so nothing gets missed, photograph hail bruises before the next rain washes evidence away, and push back when a scope short-pays for damage that is plainly there. The storm damage page covers how the process runs from inspection to finished roof.

If your roof is actively leaking after a storm, call us at (419) 518-7799. We can usually get a tarp on within a day across the Toledo metro.

We hand-detail flashing, replace failed decking, and match shingle profiles that read correctly against brick.

Most single-family homes in Toledo run $9,000 to $20,000 for a full tear-off and new architectural shingle roof.
