Roofing in Medina County, Ohio

Roof Repair, Replacement, and Storm Work

Nobody shops for a roofer on a good day. A stain spreads across the ceiling, shingles land in the yard, a limb comes down. We are a locally owned Medina company built for that moment: we document the damage first, in photos and measurements, then repair or replace the roof. If your roof turns into an insurance claim, the evidence is already in hand.

A roof is layers, and most of them are invisible once the job is done. Here is what a complete one includes, so you know what you are paying for and what to ask about. The install carries Medwick’s own five-year workmanship warranty, on this and every project.

1. A deck that gets looked at

   Tear-off is the first time anyone sees the wood under your shingles. Soft or rotted decking has to come out before anything goes over it. Any bid that assumes not one sheet needs replacing is guessing, so ask what happens, and what it costs, when the crew finds rot.

2. Ice and water barrier where water backs up

   Ohio winters push melted snow back up under shingles at the eaves. A sealing membrane along the eaves and valleys, and around chimneys and skylights, is what stops that water. It is also the layer a cheap bid quietly leaves out, because it is buried and nobody sees it.

3. The layers you actually see

   Underlayment over the deck, then starter strip at the edges, the field shingles, and hip and ridge cap on top. The starter and the cap are the pieces most homeowners never hear about, and they are where wind damage usually begins.

4. Ventilation that balances

   Air has to come in at the soffit and leave at the ridge. Without that balance the attic bakes the shingles from underneath and feeds the ice dams that started the problem. New shingles over blocked ventilation is a roof that ages early.
