Premier Exterior Remodeler in Cuyahoga County, OH
Uston Roof & Masonry brings 28 years of field experience to home projects across Northern Ohio. As a family-owned business, we focus on structural masonry, heavy-duty roofing systems, and detailed exterior repairs. Reach out to us today to discuss your upcoming project or schedule an on-site visit.
Built for Northeast Ohio Winters and Springs
Living around here means watching your roof and masonry take a beating year after year. Freeze-thaw cycles crack aging mortar, heavy lake-effect snow loads strain roof framing, and damp spring rains find every unsealed flashing gap. Fixing these issues takes materials and installation methods made specifically for local weather.
At Uston Roof & Masonry, we tackle root structural causes rather than putting cosmetic patches over hidden rot. That approach keeps your home tight, dry, and protected through every season.

Work We Handle
From full roof tear-offs to historic chimney rebuilds, our crew manages every project in-house with close attention to site safety and material standards. We choose products engineered to handle Midwest weather while giving your home a clean, finished look.
Full Roof Replacements
When shingles wear thin, crack, or lose their protective granules, replacing the roof prevents water from soaking into your timber framing. We install architectural asphalt shingles, synthetic composite systems, and heavy ice-and-water shielding across vulnerable eaves. Our crew manages the whole process, from stripping old material down to the deck to running magnetic sweepers through your yard for stray nails.

Rebuilding Damaged Chimneys
A leaning stack or severely spalling brickwork isn't just an eyesore—it lets water pour directly into your attic and walls. Our stonemasons rebuild crumbling chimneys using historic brick-matching techniques and high-strength mortar mixes built for cold climates. This restores structural stability and prevents future leaks.

Slate and Tile Roofing
Slate and clay tile offer unmatched lifespan and classic character for older or custom homes. Installing them correctly requires heavy-duty deck preparation, precise slate cutting, and careful copper flashing work. We lay every tile with balanced weight distribution and exact overlap to handle wind-driven rain and snow loads.

Navigating Storm Damage and Insurance Work
High winds, severe hail, and falling tree limbs can create sudden roof leaks or crush masonry structures. We help you work through the claims process by doing a comprehensive storm damage assessment, taking detailed photos of structural compromise, and meeting directly with your insurance adjuster on-site so nothing gets missed.

Custom Stone and Brick Masonry
Quality brickwork and stonework add lasting strength to your property line and home exterior. Our masons build retaining walls, set stone veneer, craft custom outdoor steps, and tuckpoint weathered brick structures. We anchor every installation on proper footings to prevent shifting during winter freeze cycles.

Gutter Systems
Sagging or undersized gutters let heavy rainfall overflow right along your foundation walls, causing damp basements and eroded soil. We custom-fit seamless aluminum and copper gutter systems on-site. These channels carry heavy rain safely away from your foundation without leaking at joint seams.

Targeted Leak and Roof Repairs
A leak doesn't always mean you need a brand-new roof. We track down tricky moisture entry points around chimneys, dormers, skylights, and valleys, swapping out damaged shingles and replacing corroded metal flashing. Quick repairs stop small drips before they turn into major structural framing rot.

Tuckpointing and Chimney Repairs
Cracked mortar joints, spalling brick faces, and rusted chimney caps let water penetrate your flue over time. We grind out failing mortar, pack in fresh weather-resistant joint compound, install custom concrete caps, and seal flashings. Regular maintenance keeps your chimney safe and operational.

Feedback from Nearby Homeowners
Read what your neighbors have to say about working with Uston Roof & Masonry on their home projects.
"Our roof was well past due and two other companies just wanted to patch it. Uston pulled everything down to the deck and showed me the rotted sheathing before they covered it back up. Four days start to finish and they ran a magnet over the whole yard twice. No complaints at all."
"The chimney on our 1920s house was leaning and dropping brick into the gutter. They matched the original brick so well that you honestly cannot tell where the old work stops and the new starts. John walked me through the whole plan before anything came apart."
"Finding someone who will actually touch a slate roof around here is hard. These guys knew exactly what they were doing with the copper flashing and the valley work. Priced fairly for the amount of labor involved."
"We had hail damage last spring and I had no idea where to start with the claim. They came out, photographed everything, and then stood on the roof with our adjuster. Got the full replacement approved. I would not have managed that on my own."
"Water had been running down the foundation for years and our basement showed it. New seamless gutters, bigger downspouts, and they re-graded where the water was pooling. First heavy rain since and the basement stayed completely dry."
"Tuckpointing on the front elevation plus a new chimney cap. Crew showed up when they said they would every single morning, kept the driveway clean, and the mortar color blends right in. Very easy to work with."
