## Roof Replacement Project Overview

For a full roof replacement, the most common options are asphalt shingle replacement, metal roof installation, and flat or low-slope roof replacement. Slate, tile, and wood are less common, but the contractors listed below may offer them. Many homeowners bundle roof replacement and gutter replacement.

Roof repairs are a good option for isolated problems on a roof that still has enough remaining life that replacement isn't justified. Roof inspections are a separate service that can make sense when you're buying a home, after a major storm, or when you're getting conflicting opinions from contractors about whether you need a repair or replacement.

## What Cleveland’s Climate Means for Your Roof Replacement

Ice dams are the most common winter roofing failure across this region. Ice-and-water shield on the first several feet of roof deck plus proper attic insulation prevents most of the damage. Heat cables are a secondary fix, not a primary one.

## What Drives Cleveland Roof Replacement Costs?

Installed cost in Cleveland runs within about a percentage point of the national average for this trade. Here's how we got to that number.

Project costs include three main components: labor, materials, and overhead. Material ships at national prices no matter where you live, and overhead is fairly consistent as well. So the main pricing difference between metro areas is labor costs. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect.

To get Cleveland labor costs, we compared the average hourly wage in the Cleveland, OH area to the national average hourly wage for this trade. (source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025)

We found that the local trade wages sit about **2% above** the national figure. Labor costs typically make up about **22%** of a roof replacement project cost, so the weighted difference between Cleveland and national averages is **under 1%**. [See methodology and sources.](/how-we-calculate-costs/index.md)

## Roof Replacement Permitting in Cleveland

Permit complexity Simple Moderate Complex Permit complexity in Cleveland is rated moderate.

It depends on the scope of your project, so you should talk to the permitting authority to find out what your project needs. In general, Cleveland permitting is moderately complex compared to other metros we cover.

Permitting for structural, roofing work in this area goes through City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. Many Cleveland homes are pre-1950. Lead paint assessment may be required.

You should ask each contractor if they pull the permits for you and if the fee for pulling permits is included in their quote. Also, tell them you need to see the written, approved permit before work starts.

There is no Ohio state license for roof replacement. This work is governed locally. ([source](https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-4740.01), verified as of 2026-08-12)  [What that means and how to verify a contractor in Ohio →](/roofing/roofers/oh/index.md)

## Roof Replacement Contractors in Cleveland Ranked by Homeowners

Here are the roof replacement companies OH homeowners in and around Cleveland turn to, ranked by real customer rating and review volume, no filler. [See our Editorial Standards.](/editorial-standards/index.md)

Home Genius Exteriors

★★★★★ 4.7 [Google · Streetsboro, OH location (842 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/place/x/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88311f600a1f03f1:0x5b39c0629c754d69) as of August 2026

Highest-rated multi-trade exterior contractor. Full roofing + siding + windows from one company.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

Home Genius Exteriors holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status alongside James Hardie Elite Preferred and CertainTeed 5-Star contractor certifications, and covers roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters and attic insulation. Reviewers name their project manager more often than almost anything else about the job, and describe them staying involved and checking in through to the finish. Siding and gutter work draws the warmest praise for how it looks once finished, and most installs wrap up in just a few days. Their free inspection is thorough and photo-led, with some homeowners noting drone footage of the roof itself. Promotional discounts are tiered by trade rather than applying across the board, so ask what your specific project qualifies for. If your roof is flat or low-slope, ask what warranty comes with it, since those systems are covered differently.

Erie Home

★★★★★ 4.5 Google · pooled across 19 US locations (6,606 reviews) as of August 2026

Stone-coated metal roofing specialist. 34+ states, 50-year transferable warranty, $0 down financing.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

Erie Home’s install crews draw the same specific praise at branch after branch: cleanup. Reviewers describe a full tear-off (sometimes stripping two layers of old shingles) finished in well under a day, with every nail and scrap of packaging cleared and the dumpster hauled away before the crew leaves. Their core product is stone-coated steel roofing, a heavier-duty alternative to asphalt backed by a fifty-year transferable warranty covering manufacturing and installation defects, including wind and hail. Erie Home’s two divisions are Roofing Systems and Basement Solutions, and it shares ownership with LeafFilter under Leaf Home. Metal costs more up front than asphalt; the trade-off is longevity and storm resistance. If you are quoted asphalt instead, ask how the warranty changes after year ten, since labor is covered differently from that point on.
