We document storm damage, meet your adjuster, and replace the roof to code. These four Cincinnati roofs were replaced through homeowners insurance.

White Oak Wind Damage Claim: New OSB Roof Deck to Ohio Code

Flat Roof Leak Repair in Cincinnati

Mt. Adams Membrane Flat Roof Leak Repair

On this newer Mt. Adams home, water was getting inside. After cleaning the membrane we found small cuts and punctures causing the leak. Because the roofing materials are modern, the membrane is repairable rather than needing replacement. We stopped the leak with a silicone coating over the damaged areas, so the home did not need a new roof.

Clay Tile Roof Inspections in Cincinnati

Paddock Hills Ludowici Tile Roof Assessment Before Purchase

Before buying this Paddock Hills home, our client hired us for a paid assessment of its Ludowici clay tile roof. Our report found the Ludowici Spanish barrel tile field repairable, with some localized damaged tiles, and flagged the mortar-set ridge and hip caps for rework, so the buyer knew the roof's condition before closing.

Cincinnati Roofing Questions and Answers

Does Fortress Solutions do roofing in Cincinnati, Ohio?

Yes. Fortress Solutions is based in Elsmere, KY and works across Cincinnati, including White Oak, Mt. Airy, Mt. Adams, Paddock Hills, Pleasant Run, Fruit Hill and the Coverdale area. Call (859) 328-6338 for a free estimate.

Do you help with wind and hail insurance claims in Cincinnati?

Yes. We inspect and document wind and hail damage with photos, then work through the claim with you and your adjuster. Recent Cincinnati insurance replacements include homes in White Oak, Mt. Airy, Pleasant Run and Fruit Hill.

What is Ohio code R905.2.1 and why does it matter on a reroof?

Ohio Residential Code R905.2.1 requires asphalt shingles to be fastened to solid sheathing. Older Cincinnati homes often have spaced board decking, so we install new OSB sheathing over or in place of the boards before shingling, as we did on a White Oak insurance job.

What shingles do you install in Cincinnati?

We install CertainTeed Landmark PRO architectural shingles. Recent Cincinnati colors include Moire Black, Colonial Slate, Driftwood, Cobblestone Grey and Prairiewood.

Can a leaking flat roof be repaired instead of replaced?

Often, yes. If the membrane is modern, localized damage like cuts or punctures can usually be repaired. On a newer Mt. Adams home, cuts in the membrane caused interior leaks; we repaired the leak instead of replacing the roof.

Do you inspect clay tile roofs before someone buys a house?

Yes. We do paid pre-purchase assessments of clay tile roofs, such as a Ludowici clay tile roof in Paddock Hills, documenting damaged tiles, ridge and hip mortar, and overall repairability so the buyer knows the roof's condition before closing.

Can you replace the roof, siding and gutters in one project?

Yes. On a retail job near Coverdale we replaced the roof and roof sheathing, installed LP SmartSide lap siding, new soffit and fascia, and 6-inch seamless aluminum gutters with 3x4-inch downspouts.

Can you remove and reinstall a lightning rod system during a reroof?

Yes. On a Mt. Airy insurance replacement we removed the lightning rod system before tear-off and reinstalled it on the new roof.

Is the estimate free?

Roof replacement and repair estimates are free. Call (859) 328-6338, Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm, or book online.
