Roofing in Lakewood: what to know

Lakewood is one of the most densely built cities in Ohio, and much of it went up between the 1910s and 1930s. Houses sit close together, often with steep roofs, dormers, porches and chimneys, and many are two-family homes. Some still have original slate; most have been re-roofed in shingle. Apartment buildings and storefronts along Detroit and Madison avenues mostly have flat roofs.

Homes near the lake take the full force of wind off Lake Erie, which lifts shingles and drives rain under flashing. Tight lots make access and cleanup part of the planning. The city requires a permit to re-roof; we check what's needed and file it.

Questions from Lakewood

My house is a two-family. Do you work with landlords?

Yes. We work with owners who live in one unit and with landlords who rent both, and we give tenants notice before work starts.

The house next door is very close. How do you protect it?

We plan access, cover neighboring walls, windows and plants where needed, and clean up every day. Tell us about any shared driveway.

Wind keeps lifting shingles on the lake side. What can be done?

Repairs with proper nailing and sealing hold better than quick fixes. On a new roof, high-wind installation and sealed starter strips at the edges help shingles stay down.
