01
Steep pitch, real valleys
The pre-war stock around the old core needs someone who has worked it. Valleys and dormers are where the labor and the flashing detail sit.

Tell us roughly where you are. Near the old core or out in the newer estates changes the job entirely.
No travel surcharge
Eight miles from downtown and well inside the area we are working in every week.
Period work taken seriously
Steeper pitches and complex valleys get quoted by somebody who has actually done them.
Looked at before it is quoted
Never priced off square footage, because in this town that figure tells you very little.
The Problem
Old core, or newer subdivision?
In Englewood those are two genuinely different roofs and they should not be quoted the same way.
The town was founded in 1841 and incorporated in 1914, which by Ohio standards makes it properly old. The housing around the original core shows it. Steeper roofs, real valleys, dormer windows, and now and then a layer of slate or cedar somewhere in its history that changes what is underneath. Ten minutes away the 1970s stock is straightforward, low-pitch, single-layer work. Pricing both off square footage is how people end up with a number that moves halfway through the job.
- The old core quoted as period work, not as a ranch
- We establish what is under the covering first
- Eight miles out, and no travel charge for it
Why Us
Priced for the house you actually have
Two Englewood roofs of identical area can differ by thousands, and the difference is pitch, valley count and what previous owners left up there. We quote after looking rather than off a measurement.
02
We check the layer history
Slate or cedar somewhere in a roof's past changes the deck, the fixings and the tear-off. Better found before the quote than during it.
03
Covered daily, not occasionally
Most companies serving this end of the county point everything at Dayton and Kettering. Englewood is a regular run for us.
What We Do

Emergency Roof Repair

Gutter Services
New gutters, guards, repairs and cleaning. Dayton gets 41 inches of rain a year, and gutters that are too small show it fast.

Roof Cleaning
Soft wash for black streaks, moss and algae. No pressure washer goes anywhere near an asphalt roof.
Learn more
Skylight Repair
Leaking skylights, failed seals and misted glass. Nine times in ten the leak is the flashing, not the skylight.

The Difference
Why Englewood gets quoted twice as carefully
Most roofing companies covering this end of the county treat every town as one market and price off area. That works in a subdivision where every roof is the same shape. It does not work in a town where you can drive four streets and go from a 1970s ranch to something built before the Civil War.
So we establish pitch, valley count, dormers and whatever sits under the current covering before writing a number down. It takes longer, and it is the reason our Englewood quotes tend not to move once they are agreed.
How It Works
How an Englewood job runs
One extra look before the number, because the housing varies so much.
- 1
Tell us roughly where you are
Near the old core, or out toward the newer estates. That alone tells us a great deal about the roof.
- 2
We establish pitch and layers
Steep roofs need staging, and old layers change the tear-off entirely. Both get settled before quoting.
- 3
Quoted for the actual house
Itemized, with the complexity priced in rather than averaged out across the whole town.
- 4
Done, and walked with you
Including the valley and flashing detail, which is where a period roof is won or lost.
Reviews
What Dayton homeowners say
4.9 average from 38 reviews
“We had a leak over the back bedroom for almost two years and kept putting a bucket under it. The team found the problem in about ten minutes. It turned out to be the flashing around the chimney, not the shingles. They fixed it that same afternoon. I wish we had called sooner.”
“We had a full tear-off on our 1950s ranch. The crew arrived at 7 every morning and finished the job in three days. They even swept the entire driveway with a magnetic roller so our kids wouldn't pick up any nails. The final price was exactly what we were quoted.”
“After the hail last June, our insurance company questioned whether the damage was from the storm or simply the age of the roof. The team inspected everything, took detailed photos, and joined the call with our adjuster. The claim was approved. I don't think we would have managed it on our own.”
“Good work at a fair price. I gave four stars because our job had to be pushed back a week due to rain, and I had already taken the day off. They did call ahead and kept us informed instead of simply not showing up, which I appreciated.”
“A tree came down on our garage roof at around nine at night. Someone actually answered the phone, which I wasn't expecting. They had the roof tarped before midnight and came back the following week for the permanent repair. Great response when we needed help.”
“We had new seamless gutters and gutter guards installed around the whole house. They made the gutters right there on site, which I hadn't seen before. We've had two heavy storms since the installation and nothing has overflowed onto the patio. That was exactly the problem we wanted fixed.”
“I booked a roof inspection expecting to hear that we needed a full replacement because that's what the previous two companies told us. After inspecting it, they said our roof probably had about five years left and told us to call back when the time came. They didn't charge us for the inspection. That honesty is why they'll get the job when we eventually replace it.”
“This is the second time we've used them. They installed our gutters a couple of years ago, and we recently hired them again for a full roof replacement. We even had the same crew leader both times. The quote was clearly itemized, so we could see exactly what we were paying for, including the wood underneath repairs.”
More about Roofing in Englewood
Two housing eras in one town
Englewood was founded in 1841 and incorporated in 1914, which by Ohio standards makes it genuinely old. The early settlers along the Stillwater River shipped grain and bacon down to Dayton and on to New Orleans. For roofs that history means a small core of pre-war housing, wrapped in post-war and later subdivisions. The older houses have steeper roofs, more complicated shapes, and sometimes slate somewhere in their past.
Those are two different jobs. An older Englewood house needs someone who has worked a steep roof with real valleys; a 1970s ranch on the edge of town is a straightforward replacement. We quote them differently because they are different work.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work on older Englewood homes?
Yes. The pre-war housing around the old core needs a different approach from the post-war estates. Steeper roofs, more valleys, and sometimes slate or cedar in its history that changes what is underneath. We look before we quote.
How far is Englewood from your usual area?
About eight miles from downtown Dayton, well inside the area we cover daily. There is no travel surcharge.
