Our Process
How a roofing job runs in Newark, step by step: the call, the written quote, the work and the final walkthrough — and the less expensive option named when there is one.
Four steps, start to finish
Every job ends with its paperwork: written quote, permit record, warranty papers and photos of the work.
Call with what you are seeing
The address, what is happening, and anything you already hold: an old invoice, a warranty card, the year the roof went on.
Look before any price
The slopes, the details that fail, then the attic where there is one.
A written quote, offices checked
The work in plain language, the materials by name, and on a replacement what the City of Newark and Licking County need for the job, settled before anything starts.
The work, then the folder
Photographs of the deck, underlayment and flashing before they are covered, a walkaround before the final payment, and the paperwork handed over: contract, permit record, warranty papers, workmanship terms.

What to do before a roofer arrives, and what to have ready
A few minutes now makes the visit shorter and the record better.
Catch the water and photograph it
A bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few dated photographs of the stain before anything is touched.
Note when it leaks
In every rain, only in wind, or only in a thaw. That one detail separates a flashing from ice at the eaves before anybody climbs a ladder.
Find whatever paperwork the roof has
An old invoice, a warranty card, the year it went on, the name of whoever did it.
Ask for the repair to be written up
The fix that stops the water, priced on its own, and a written record afterward of what was found and what was done.
After a Licking County windstorm, every roofer's phone rings
Worth knowing before you start calling around, because storm week is the worst week to be choosing.
This county's storm record is mostly wind: the 2011 EF1 east of the city, the 1978 blizzard, the April 2026 storm that left roof damage around Newark, Ohio. When wind goes through, the calls arrive together, and roofs with water coming in are covered first. Roofs that only need looking at are booked behind them.
Shingles also need warmth to seal down properly, so a replacement planned for a mild, dry stretch is a better roof than the same job squeezed into storm week. A repair that stops water is worth doing the week you find it.
- Active leaks covered the same day where light and weather allow
- Repairs booked within the week in normal conditions
- Temporary cover quoted separately from the permanent repair
