What’s the Best Type of Roofing for Houses in Ohio?

Feb 03, 2023

Large brick house with asphalt roofingA roof provides style and protection for your home, so if your roof is old, leaking, missing shingles, or damaged, it’s time to get a roof replacement. But how can you know which type of roof is right for your Ohio home when there are so many options? Do you want an asphalt roof, a wood roof, or something else? You’ll first want to consider the range of weather conditions your roof will face, including hot humid summers and frigid snowy winters. You should also think about which style would best suit your home.

If you’re still unsure which type of roof is right for your Ohio home, below we have listed some information that can help you make an informed decision.

Affordable and Durable Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for roofing. They come in many colors and styles, allowing you to get the perfect look for your home whether you’re living in a mansion or a cozy cottage. Additionally, asphalt roofs are:

  • Affordable
  • Lightweight
  • Durable
  • Waterproof
  • Fireproof

If you choose asphalt shingles for your roof, you can have them installed by Helping Hands Roofing. We use Owens Corning shingles that are specifically designed for the high Ohio winds.

Slate Tile for a Sleek Style

Some prefer slate shingles for their sturdy design and natural, sleek style. They easily shed ice and snow and are great at holding up against heat, hail, and moisture. The two main issues homeowners have with slate roofs are that they can be expensive and heavy. Not all houses can hold up the weight of slate tiles.

Eco-Friendly Wood Roofing

A wood roof can be good for those who like a rustic, natural aesthetic. This type of roof is environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Light-colored wood can even help your attic stay cooler. The major downside is that wood roofs are susceptible to fire and are even prohibited in certain places in the country depending on fire codes.

Strong Metal Shingles

Metal roofs are a lightweight option made of steel, copper, aluminum, or alloy. It’s the longest-lasting roof, but it’s also pricier than other roofs. Also, a noticeable downside of metal roofs is how loud they can be when there is hail or rain.

The Choice is Yours

Roofs affect the look and durability of any home. A leaky roof, after all, can create all kinds of costly problems. That’s why choosing the right roof is important for any Ohio home, but fortunately, there are many good options to select from.

Aub and his wife Lindsey spent months trying to work with my insurance company who insisted that I needed to make a total of 4 claims just to replace my main house roof. Aub and Lindsey went above and beyond for us and spent countless hours on the phone trying to get my claim approved. Without their commitment, persistence, dedication, and compassion for what they did, I’d still have a leaky roof. I would definitely hire Helping Hands Restorations again and highly recommend them.
