Roofing, Siding & Gutters in Lancaster
Lancaster sits at the edge of the Hocking Hills, where Central Ohio’s flat farmland gives way to wooded ridges and sandstone bluffs. The housing reflects that transition. Downtown and the surrounding historic neighborhoods have homes dating to the 1800s and early 1900s, many with steep-pitched roofs and original architectural details. Head toward the newer subdivisions like Hunter Trace, Colonial Estates, or Cedar Heights, and you’ll find ranch homes and split-levels from the 1960s through 1990s, plus ongoing new construction on the city’s edges.
From our Lewis Center headquarters, we reach Lancaster in about 45 minutes via Route 33. When we inspect a roof here, we document everything with photos, explain what we find, and give you a written estimate. No pressure tactics, no pricing games. As one customer put it: “KFX gave me their quote and asked me to call back if I wished to move forward.”
Fairfield County gets the same severe weather that hits all of Central Ohio. The February 2024 storm system brought tornado warnings to the county. Spring thunderstorms regularly produce hail and high winds. When storms roll through, we respond quickly, document damage thoroughly, and work directly with insurance adjusters. We know what carriers expect to see in a claim.

Lancaster Roofing FAQs
Common questions about roofing services in Lancaster
Yes. The City of Lancaster requires building permits for roof replacements. Contractors must be registered with the Building Department and post a $15,000 surety bond. We handle all permit paperwork for you. The Building Department is located at 121 S. Broad Street if you need to verify contractor registration.
We reach Lancaster from our Lewis Center headquarters in about 45 minutes via Route 33. For storm damage inspections, we can typically schedule within 24-48 hours depending on storm volume. Emergency tarping for active leaks gets priority scheduling.
It depends on the neighborhood. Historic downtown homes with steep-pitched roofs from the 1800s often have ventilation issues and ice dam problems in winter. Mid-century subdivisions like Cedar Heights and Collegeview commonly need replacement due to age, with original roofs from the 1960s-1970s well past their lifespan. Across all areas, storm damage from hail and wind is the most frequent reason homeowners call us, especially after spring thunderstorms.
Yes. We document storm damage thoroughly with photos and detailed reports, then work directly with insurance adjusters. We’ve handled enough claims to know what carriers expect to see. One customer noted that we “walked them through the steps to a new roof and worked well with their insurance representatives.”
Most Lancaster homes do well with architectural asphalt shingles rated for high winds and impact resistance. Given the area’s exposure to severe thunderstorms and hail, we typically recommend shingles with Class 4 impact ratings for maximum durability. For historic downtown properties, we can match existing materials to maintain architectural character.
