Our Process
How We Handle Roof Repair & Replacement in Over-the-Rhine

Emergency Tarp
When Over-the-Rhine residents call, when water is coming in, we tarp the damaged part of the roof to stop it, 24/7. A tarp protects the house until the roof can be repaired or replaced.
Inspect & Document

Repair or Replace
For Over-the-Rhine homes, we tell you straight whether a repair will do or the roof needs replacing, with a written estimate. Repairs cover missing or damaged shingles, flashing and leaks; replacements are a full tear-off and new shingle roof.
Dry & Rebuild Inside
Your Over-the-Rhine property is our priority. if the leak soaked insulation, drywall or ceilings, we dry it and put it back, so you are not calling three different companies for one leak.
