Roofsmith Restoration was born in the summer of 2009, while the recession was on. High-quality tradesmen were sitting at home due to the collapse of the homebuilding market here in North East Ohio. The idea of putting these master craftsmen back to work was the brainchild of Mike Farist. He saw the need these men had to apply their years of experience and tradecraft, and the need that homeowners had to find a company that they could trust employing people passionate about performing with excellence. From humble beginnings, Roofsmith has quietly grown into a small but thriving roofing and restoration company, servicing both residential homeowners and commercial property owners. From the very first Amish crew that put on the very first roof; Roofsmith has adhered to a very old, simple, and powerful business model. Treat everyone in the loop of a project as important, and in fact as slightly more important than the company itself. This applies to the customer, the men performing the work, the estimators measuring and figuring out the job, and it even applies to the manufacturers and suppliers of the materials used. By putting all these folks higher than ourselves, we have created a family of employees, suppliers, and customers that have guaranteed success. It is this commitment to others that has fueled our growth during the last 5 years. We really care about our property owners' satisfaction from the estimator to the office staff to the crews performing the work. In short, at Roofsmith Restoration, your project is our passion!

Over our years of operation, we have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of customers. Our clientele includes first-time home buyers as well as seasoned homeowners, spanning across different age groups, including the elderly. We cater to customers with varying levels of knowledge about roofing, from those with no prior experience to industry experts. Our expertise extends to both residential and commercial projects, including addressing storm damage and assisting with insurance claims. At Roofsmith Restoration, we are committed to providing top-notch services to all types of customers, ensuring their roofing needs are met with utmost professionalism and care.

You may have heard the common misconception that “all roofing material is the same” and won’t affect your roof’s overall performance. This is false! And it can end up costing you much more in the long run. It is important to spend time making sure that your roof is being installed or repaired using quality materials. Here are two reasons why selecting the right roof material for your home is vital: 1. Many roofing manufacturers will attempt to offer reduced prices or “specials” on roofing materials that are sub-standard or have been lightly used already. These materials may seem like a bargain at first with reduced cost, however, these materials will immediately pose the extra risks of premature wear, need for repair, and costly water damage. 2. Many homeowners are not aware of all of the products that are used for replacing or repairing a roof. These items include caulking and nails and some roofers will try to save money on these products by cutting corners and using only basic quality materials during the job. They can then save on these costs for themselves by spreading these products all throughout the year and not buying more or new ones. Many companies don’t use these shortcuts and will make sure that each customer is provided with quality materials; but to ensure that you don’t fall for this misconception, remain an active part of your roofing process and don’t necessarily accept what may seem like a bargain for materials. The cost you pay upfront for materials will save you from later repair costs.

Five Signs You Need a New Roof Have you taken a good look at your roof lately? No? You are not alone. Most people hardly notice their roof unless there’s major damage or interior leaking. While it’s easy to take your roof for granted, it protects your home and your investment. A roof in Northeast Ohio typically has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Beyond that point, it will start to have wear and tear from the daily elements. Once your roof begins to age, it’s important to replace it before there is any significant damage to the roof itself or your home’s interior. Is your roof trying to tell you something? Your roof will usually give you clues it’s time for a replacement. If you know what to look for, you’ll know when it’s time to contact a roof replacement specialist. If you’re wondering, “Do I need a new roof?”, it’s a good time to look at the signs. 5 signs you need a new roof 1. Missing, broken or buckling shingles When shingles look funny, that’s usually an obvious sign the roof needs to be evaluated. Your shingles should lie flat on the roof, be fully intact and cover the entire underlayment. If the shingles are compromised, the roof deck is not fully protected from moisture, which can lead to interior damage. 2. Shingles missing their protective granules Balding shingles are an obvious sign the roof has aged. Those granules protect the shingles from the sun and other elements, so their loss can lead to damage to the shingle itself. Asphalt shingles will rot, leaking moisture, once the granules wear away. 3. Cracks or gaps in flashing The flashing seals the “seams” of your roof, so it’s vitally important to keep your roof intact. If you see gaps around the flashing, it is often a sign that a roof replacement is a good idea. 4. Cracks that allow water or daylight to penetrate If you can see daylight or water seeping through your roof, that’s an obvious sign of an aged roof. If you have access to your attic, and you can see daylight from the interior, your roof is ready for replacement. Water coming from the ceiling or a sagging ceiling are obvious signs that your roof is no longer keeping the elements out. Address any signs of water damage promptly, as those issues only get worse – and sometimes quickly! 5. You’ve sustained a major storm Obviously, if you have a tree limb on your roof or major damage, you’ll know it. But what most people don’t know is storm damage might not be visible from the ground. Hail can leave thousands of tiny punctures that damage your roof. You should never attempt to get on your roof yourself. Call the professionals, who can safely assess your roof for damage. Why consider roof replacement? A new roof not only keeps the elements out, but it will improves your home’s curb appeal and protects its value. If you’ve noticed any of these signs of roof damage, there’s a good chance your roof needs to be replaced. Contact the roofing experts at Roofsmith Restoration.
