Sunbury OH Roofing Contractor
Five minutes from our Lewis Center headquarters. We watch Sunbury grow and know what new construction and older downtown homes both need.
Roofing, Siding & Gutters in Sunbury
Sunbury has changed dramatically in the past decade. The historic downtown square with its 1800s Foursquare homes and early 1900s Cape Cods sits just miles from Northstar, Ivy Wood, and other new subdivisions where homes are still going up. Old Sunbury roofs have character and age. New construction roofs have warranties that need protecting. We work on both.
Our Lewis Center office is about 5 minutes south on Route 3. When Sunbury homeowners call, we can usually get there the same day. One customer in nearby Upper Arlington described our approach: “KFX gave me their quote and asked me to call back if I wished to move forward.” No games, no pressure. That is how we work everywhere we serve, including Sunbury.
Delaware County sees serious weather. March 2024 brought tornado warnings and half-dollar sized hail through Sunbury and surrounding areas. April 2024 produced an EF1 tornado in southeast Delaware County. When storms hit, we respond quickly, document damage thoroughly, and work directly with insurance adjusters to get claims processed right.

Understanding Sunbury's unique roofing needs
Sunbury Quick Facts
Local Housing
Common Roof Types: Asphalt architectural shingles on most homes. New construction in Northstar and Ivy Wood subdivisions uses standard asphalt. Older downtown homes occasionally have original or specialty materials requiring careful matching.
Home Ages: Downtown Old Sunbury: late 1800s Foursquare and early 1900s Cape Cod and ranch styles. Peripheral subdivisions: mostly 2000s to present new construction. Median home build year is 2005, making Sunbury one of the youngest housing stocks in the region.
Common Issues: Storm damage from hail and wind is the top reason people call. New construction roofs sometimes have improper ventilation that causes premature shingle failure. Older downtown roofs face age-related deterioration and ice dam issues in winter.
Weather & Climate
Climate: Hot humid summers reaching 90°F. Cold winters with regular snow and ice. Freeze-thaw cycles run November through March and stress roofing materials.
Storm History: March 2024: Tornado warnings issued for Sunbury with half-dollar sized hail reported across Delaware County. April 2024: EF1 tornado in southeast Delaware County near the Franklin County border. Delaware County averages multiple severe weather warnings annually.
Seasonal Concerns: Spring: severe thunderstorms with wind and hail damage. Summer: UV degradation on aging shingles. Fall: leaf buildup in valleys and gutters. Winter: ice dams on older roofs with inadequate ventilation.
Permits & Codes
Permit Info: Sunbury transitioned to Delaware County Department of Building Safety in October 2022. Most projects require a Zoning Certificate from Sunbury before applying for a building permit through the county. Re-roofing over existing shingles typically does not require a permit. Structural repairs or full tear-offs do.
Code Requirements: Ohio Residential Building Code applies. Roof live load and snow load requirements are 20 PSF each. Frost line depth is 32 inches minimum. Many newer subdivisions like Northstar and Ivy Wood have HOA requirements for material and color approval.

Sunbury Roofing FAQs
Common questions about roofing services in Sunbury
It depends on the scope of work. Re-roofing over existing shingles without structural changes typically does not require a permit. If we are doing a full tear-off or repairing decking, trusses, or rafters, a permit is required through Delaware County Department of Building Safety. Sunbury transitioned to the county building department in 2022. We handle the permit process for you.
Our office is in Lewis Center, about 5 minutes south on Route 3. We can usually reach Sunbury addresses the same day you call. For storm damage emergencies, we prioritize getting a tarp up quickly if needed, even before we know if you will hire us for the full job.
Most HOAs in Sunbury’s newer subdivisions require approval for exterior changes including roofing. We work with Northstar, Ivy Wood, Goldwell, Eagle Creek, and other HOAs regularly. We can help you submit the required documentation and ensure materials meet HOA specifications for color and style.
Storm damage is the number one issue. Delaware County gets hit by severe weather regularly, including the March 2024 hail event and April 2024 tornado. For older homes downtown, we see age-related shingle deterioration and ice dam damage. For newer construction in Northstar and surrounding subdivisions, improper attic ventilation sometimes causes premature shingle failure.
Yes. We document damage thoroughly with photos and detailed reports, meet with adjusters on-site, and help ensure your claim covers what it should. One customer said Kris “walked me through the steps to a new roof and worked well with my insurance representatives.” We have done this enough to know what carriers expect.
