When Does a Roof Need Replacement?
Several indicators suggest a roofing system has reached the end of its serviceable life and replacement is more reliable than continued repairs.
Storm Damage Triggers
Central Ohio experiences severe weather capable of instantly damaging an otherwise functional roof. Hail larger than one inch, sustained winds over 60 mph, and fallen trees can cause damage extensive enough to warrant full replacement. In these cases, homeowners insurance typically covers replacement costs.
How It Works
Residential Roofing Materials We Install
Selecting the right roofing material impacts your home's protection, appearance, and long-term value. We install several options suited to Ohio's climate demands.
Asphalt Shingles Systems
What this solves
The most popular roofing material in Ohio, covering approximately 80% of residential roofs.
The most popular roofing material in Ohio covers approximately 80% of residential roofs. Content: Modern architectural shingles offer significant advantages over older 3-tab designs. They provide a dimensional, layered appearance that enhances curb appeal.
Performance specs:
- Wind ratings: 110-130 mph
- Warranty: 25-30 years
- Cost: Typical installed cost ranges from $4.50 to $6.75 per square foot, depending on roof size, complexity, and material selection.
As an Owens Corning certified contractor, we install their Duration, TruDefinition, Oakridge, and Flex product lines. These shingles feature SureNail technology for superior wind resistance, which is particularly important given Ohio’s severe thunderstorms.
Metal Roofing Systems
What this solves
Built to last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Ideal for Ohio's weather extremes.
We install both standing seam and ribbed metal panel systems. Standing seam offers concealed fasteners and a premium residential look, while ribbed panels provide excellent value for garages, outbuildings, and budget-conscious projects.
Key benefits:
- Wind ratings: 140+ mph
- Warranty: 40-50 years
- Cost: Typical installed cost ranges from $8 to $14 per square foot, depending on roof size, complexity, and material selection.
Metal roofing reflects heat, handles heavy snow loads, and carries a Class A fire rating.
Stone-Coated Steel Systems
What this solves
The durability of steel with the classic look of shingles or shake.
Stone-coated steel combines a steel base with stone granule coating to mimic traditional roofing materials at a fraction of the weight. It won’t crack, curl, or rot and carries Class 4 impact resistance.
Considerations:
- Wind ratings: 120+ mph
- Hail raiding: class 4 impact-resistant
- Warranty: 50 years
- Cost: Typical installed cost ranges from $10 to $16 per square foot, depending on roof size, complexity, and material selection.
- Energy-efficient: Reflective coating reduces attic heat buildup and cooling costs
Best for homeowners planning to stay long-term or those wanting shake aesthetics without wood maintenance.

Our Roof Replacement Process
Professional roof replacement follows a systematic process that ensures quality results and long-term performance. Here's what to expect when KFX Roofing handles your project.
Inspection and Assessment
We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing roof, attic space, and ventilation system. Our assessment includes:
- Complete roof surface examination
- Attic and ventilation system review
- Identification of underlying issues
- Detailed photo documentation
Material Selection
Based on your home's requirements, aesthetic preferences, and budget, we'll recommend appropriate materials:
- Shingle grades and warranty levels
- Color options and samples
- Examples of completed projects in your area
Complete Tear-Off
We remove all existing roofing materials down to the deck:
- Full removal of existing shingles and underlayment
- Inspection of entire deck surface
- No "roof-over" installations
Deck Inspection and Repair
With roofing materials removed, we inspect every square foot of decking:
- Check for rot and water damage
- Verify structural integrity
- Replace damaged sections with new plywood or OSB
Installation
Installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly, which is required to maintain warranty coverage:
- Ice and water shield membrane in valleys and along eaves
- Synthetic underlayment across the entire deck surface
- Drip edge and flashing at all roof edges and penetrations
- Field shingles installed with proper nail placement
- Ridge cap shingles with integrated ventilation
Final Inspection and Cleanup
Upon completion, we conduct a thorough quality inspection:
- Quality inspection and photo documentation
- Magnetic sweeping of entire property (3 passes)
- Complete debris removal

Weather Conditions
Why Ohio Weather Demands Quality Roofing
Quick Takeaway
Central Ohio's climate subjects roofing systems to four distinct challenges throughout the year. Understanding these stresses explains why proper materials and installation matter.
Central Ohio’s severe weather season brings thunderstorms with high winds, heavy rain, and hail. Properly installed architectural shingles resist wind uplift, but only when nailed according to manufacturer specifications in the reinforced nailing zone.
Our installers are trained on these requirements and we verify proper installation on every project.
Summer temperatures and intense UV radiation accelerate shingle aging. Quality shingles with adequate granule coverage protect the underlying asphalt from UV degradation.
Budget shingles with thin granule layers age faster, which is why we recommend mid-grade or better materials for Ohio installations.
Ohio’s humidity promotes algae and moss growth on north-facing roof slopes. Modern shingles include copper or zinc granules that inhibit this growth.
We recommend algae-resistant shingles for all installations to maintain appearance and prevent the moisture retention that algae causes.
Insurance May Cover Your Roof Replacement
If your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or a storm event, replacement may be partially or fully covered by insurance. We help document damage, meet with adjusters, and support supplements when needed.

Understanding Estimates
When comparing roofing estimates, ensure you're comparing equivalent specifications. A significantly lower bid often indicates lower-grade materials, improper installation methods, or corners being cut on items like ice and water shield coverage. We provide detailed, itemized estimates that specify exactly what materials we'll install and what warranty coverage you'll receive.
Repair vs. Replacement: How We Help You Decide
Fast Guidance
Repairs usually make sense when damage is limited and the roof system is still healthy. Replacement becomes more cost-effective when age and widespread wear reduce the value of continued repairs.
Not every roof problem requires a full replacement. We believe in honest assessments and cost-effective solutions. Use our quick assessment tool or review the comparison below.

Customer Reviews
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from Central Ohio homeowners who trusted us with their roof replacement.
"I would recommend KFX Roofing to all my friends. Kris kept us well informed on the whole process. He was there over looking the project from start to finish. The crew were hardworking gentlemen. We were so impressed with the workmanship of the crew and the meticulous clean up they did at the end of the day."
"KFX Roofing was professional in all communication, patient with our financing, and efficient in the roofing process. We are happy with the finished product, and clean up was fantastic. Highly recommended!"
"Tyler was great to work with. I appreciated his transparency during the process and quick communication. KFX scheduled really quickly which was nice because our roof was leaking and needed immediate attention. There was a portion of the roof that wasn't quite to my liking and they remedied this mistake within a week. I was thankful for their willingness to come back and fix the mistake. Four stars instead of five simply because of failure to accurately predict some of the decking that would need to replaced. This lead to a pretty significant price increase after the job had already started."

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our roof replacement services.
Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1-3 days, depending on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. A typical 2,000 square foot roof with standard complexity is usually finished in one full day. Larger or more complex roofs may require two days. We’ll provide a specific timeline during your estimate.
Yes, roofs can be replaced in winter, though we take additional precautions. Shingles must be hand-sealed in cold temperatures since the adhesive strips won’t activate naturally below 40°F. We plan winter installations during milder periods when possible. Some homeowners prefer winter scheduling to take advantage of greater availability and potential off-season pricing.
You don’t need to be present during installation, though we recommend being available by phone in case questions arise. We’ll need access to exterior electrical outlets for equipment. Many homeowners choose to be away during the noisiest tear-off phase and return later in the day.
Your roof is protected by two warranties: the manufacturer’s material warranty and our workmanship warranty. Owens Corning architectural shingles carry 25-30 year limited warranties. As a certified contractor, we can offer their enhanced warranty programs that cover both materials and workmanship. We stand behind our installation quality and will address any workmanship issues that arise.
Generally, localized damage affecting less than 30% of the roof surface can be repaired. Widespread damage, aging beyond 20 years, or multiple simultaneous issues typically indicate replacement makes more sense financially. We’ll give you an honest assessment—we don’t recommend replacement when repair will adequately solve the problem.
For a standard 2,000 square foot home with architectural asphalt shingles, Central Ohio homeowners typically invest between $8,000 and $15,000 for complete replacement including tear-off. Costs vary based on roof size, pitch, complexity, material selection, and deck repair needs. We provide detailed, itemized estimates with no hidden fees.
Homeowners insurance generally covers roof replacement when damage results from covered perils like hail, wind, or fallen trees. Policies typically don’t cover roofs that have worn out from age. Coverage specifics vary by policy. We work with insurance companies regularly and can meet with your adjuster to ensure all damage is properly documented.
