Roofing in Troy, Ohio.

Around the square and the older streets

Troy is the Miami County seat, and the blocks around Public Square and toward the Great Miami River hold some of the oldest homes in the county: two-story brick and frame houses with steep main roofs, dormers and wide front porches. The main roof is usually not where the trouble starts. It is the low-slope porch roof, where water and ice back up against the wall and slip under shingles that were never meant for that pitch.

We treat those as two different roofs. The steep section gets a full tear-off, new flashing and proper attic venting. The low-slope section gets an ice and water membrane or a low-slope system rated for it, so the porch stops leaking into the ceiling every March.

Subdivisions and newer builds

Troy has grown a lot in the last few decades, and many of those homes still have the shingles they were built with. On open lots with few mature trees, wind gets a clean run at the roof, and that is usually where we see lifted tabs and missing ridge caps first. A repair can often buy several more years. When it cannot, we will tell you, with photos.

Gutters and siding on Troy homes

Big, steep roofs shed a lot of water, and older gutters were often undersized for them. We form seamless gutters on site, size them for the roof they serve, and check the fascia and soffit behind them while the ladder is up. Siding repair and replacement are part of the same visit if storm damage reached the walls.
