Roof Replacement
Your roof is your home's first line of defense. When it's time for a replacement, trust M&T Roofing for quality materials, expert installation, and a stress-free experience from start to finish.
When shingles start curling, granules pile up in your gutters, or you spot a water stain spreading across the ceiling — your roof is telling you something. And in Northeast Ohio, where ice dams, hail storms, and 60 mph wind gusts are a regular part of the calendar, a failing roof doesn't give you the luxury of waiting.
The longer a compromised roof sits, the worse it gets. Water finds its way into your decking, your insulation, your walls. What starts as a $12,000 replacement can turn into a $25,000 project once mold remediation and structural repair enter the picture. The best time to replace your roof is before it becomes an emergency.
What's Included in a Roof Replacement
A roof replacement isn't just nailing shingles on top of plywood. Done right, it's a complete system — ventilation, ice & water shield, drip edge, underlayment, flashing, and shingles all working together. Here's what we do:
Signs Your Roof Needs Replacing
- Shingles are curling, cracking, or missing
- Granules accumulating in your gutters
- Roof is 20+ years old
- Visible daylight through the attic boards
- Sagging or uneven roofline
- Recurring leaks or water stains on ceilings
- Neighbors on your street are getting new roofs (same-age homes)
- Your energy bills have been creeping up
Who This Service Is For
Storm Damage Homeowners
Hail, wind, or fallen debris damaged your roof and you need a full replacement covered by insurance.
Aging Roof Owners
Your roof is 20–30 years old and showing its age. You want to replace it before problems start.
Home Sellers
You're preparing to list and a new roof adds immediate curb appeal and buyer confidence.
New Home Buyers
Your inspector flagged the roof. You want it replaced right so you don't inherit someone else's problem.
Timeline
Most residential roofs are completed in 1–3 days. We schedule your project within 1–2 weeks of signing, weather permitting. Emergency storm damage replacements can often start within 48 hours.
Investment
Most roof replacements in our area range from $8,000–$20,000+ depending on size, pitch, and material. Insurance claims often cover storm damage — many homeowners pay only their deductible. Financing options available.

Roof Repair vs. Roof Replacement
Not every roofing issue calls for a full tear-off. But knowing where the line is can save you thousands — or prevent a small problem from becoming a catastrophic one.
When Repair Makes Sense
- Damage is isolated to one small area (a few missing shingles, one leak point)
- Your roof is under 15 years old and otherwise in good shape
- Storm damage is localized — a fallen branch, minor hail in one section
- Flashing around a single chimney or vent needs resealing
- You're planning to sell in 1–2 years and the roof just needs to hold
When Replacement Is the Right Call
- Roof is 20+ years old — even if it 'looks okay' from the ground
- Widespread granule loss, curling, or cracking across multiple sections
- Multiple active leaks or water stains in different rooms
- Decking feels soft or spongy — sign of rot underneath
- You've already repaired it 2–3 times in the last few years
- Insurance adjuster has approved a full replacement claim
Our approach: We never upsell a replacement when a repair will do the job. During your free inspection, we document everything with photos and walk you through exactly what we're seeing — so the decision is yours, backed by real data.
Roofing Materials We Install
The right material depends on your home's architecture, your budget, and how long you plan to stay. We install two primary roofing systems — each with distinct advantages for Northeast Ohio's climate.
Asphalt Shingles
Most popular choice — 80% of our installs
We prefer to install GAF Timberline HDZ and UHDZ architectural shingles — among the top-selling shingles in North America. We can install any type of shingle, but Timberline HDZ and UHDZ handle Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles best, resist algae staining, and come in 20+ color options to match any home style.
Metal Roofing
Premium option — growing fast in Ohio
Standing seam and exposed fastener metal panels are becoming one of Ohio's fastest-growing roofing choices. Metal sheds snow faster, handles hail better than shingles, and won't rot or grow algae.
Why More Ohio Homeowners Are Choosing Metal Roofs
Today's residential metal roofs look great, last decades longer than shingles, and solve problems that Ohio homeowners deal with every winter.
Lasts 2–3x Longer Than Shingles
A quality metal roof lasts 50–70 years. Most asphalt shingle roofs need replacing every 20–30. Over a 60-year period, the math works out in metal's favor.
Energy Efficient Year-Round
Metal reflects solar heat in summer (reducing cooling costs by up to 25%) and sheds snow quickly in winter, preventing ice dam formation.
Superior Storm Resistance
Rated for 140 mph winds and Class 4 impact resistance (the highest rating). Metal gives you peace of mind that shingles can't.
Virtually Maintenance-Free
No granule loss, no moss, no algae, no cracking. Annual maintenance is basically a visual inspection — that's it.
Increases Home Value
Studies show metal roofing recoups 85–95% of its cost at resale. Buyers recognize the long-term value.
100% Recyclable
Every panel is fully recyclable at end of life. Asphalt shingles end up in landfills — 13 million tons per year in the U.S.
Is metal right for your home? It depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay, and your home's architecture. During your free inspection, we'll walk through both options with real pricing.
Need a Commercial or Flat Roof?
For commercial buildings and low-slope/flat roofs, we partner with West Roofing Systems to install silicone roof coatings and spray foam (SPF) systems — seamless, energy-efficient solutions that typically cost 1/3 to 1/2 less than a full tear-off and come with manufacturer-backed warranties up to 20 years.
