About Us

Built for Northeast Ohio Weather

Living around here means watching your home endure heavy freeze-thaw cycles, driving spring rain, and severe winter ice dams. If your flashing gives out or moisture creeps behind your brickwork, sub-zero temperatures will crack that masonry apart faster than you think.


As an exterior remodeler in Summit County, OH, we build and repair exteriors with those local weather patterns in mind. That means choosing breathable mortar formulations, putting down heavy-duty ice barrier membranes under shingles, and making sure water sheds cleanly away from your foundation.

What We Do

Your home's exterior takes a beating through every season. We provide focused solutions designed to improve protection, performance, and appearance.

Full roof replacement by an exterior remodeler in Summit County OH

Full Roof Replacements

When shingles start curling or losing their protective granules, patching usually just delays the inevitable. We strip old materials clear down to the wood decking, replace any rotted plywood sheets, and install fresh underlayment alongside modern architectural shingles.

Aging chimney rebuild during a home renovation in Summit County OH

Rebuilding Aging Chimneys

Water sneaking into porous brick freezes in January, expanding and pushing the structure apart. When mortar joints crumble past the point of simple tuckpointing, we knock down the damaged courses of brick and rebuild the stack solid.

Slate and clay tile roofing home improvement in Summit County OH

Slate and Clay Tile Roofing

Natural slate and clay tile can last upwards of a century, provided the underlying timber framing can hold the load. These heavy natural materials require precise hand-craftsmanship and reinforced decking.

Storm Damage and Insurance Claims

Hail and fallen branches can strip granule coatings off shingles or lift metal flashing without causing immediate interior drips. We inspect the entire roof, photograph hidden structural damage, and map out what needs repair.

Targeted residential roof leak repair in Summit County OH

Targeted Leak and Roof Repairs

Cracked chimney mortar and crown repair by an exterior remodeler in Summit County OH

Fixing Cracked Chimney Mortar and Crowns

The flat concrete crown at the top of your chimney takes direct impact from rain and snow. Once hairline cracks open up, water trickles down behind the outer layer of brick.

★★★★★

"Our 1920s brick chimney was shedding mortar every spring. They rebuilt the top eight courses, matched the old brick better than I expected, and poured a new cap. Two winters later it still looks sharp."

Michael R.
Hudson, OH
★★★★★

"Full tear-off on our ranch. They found two sheets of rotted decking near the valley and showed me the photos before replacing them instead of just shingling over it. Crew ran a magnet over the yard twice."

Danielle P.
Stow, OH
★★★★★

"Hail took out half our shingles last June. John met the adjuster on the roof and pointed out damage the adjuster had missed on the first pass. The claim covered far more than I would have gotten alone."

Greg S.
Green, OH
★★★★★

"We had water staining a bedroom ceiling and assumed the worst. Turned out to be a cracked pipe boot about six feet from the stain. Fixed in an afternoon and they did not try to upsell us a whole roof."

Angela M.
Copley, OH
★★★★★

"Seamless gutters and new downspouts around the whole house. They sized the spouts up because our old ones overflowed onto the foundation every heavy rain. First real storm since and the basement stayed dry."

Thomas B.
Macedonia, OH
★★★★★

"Repointing on our front porch stonework. They used a softer mortar mix because of the age of the brick and explained exactly why. Quote was itemized and the final bill matched it to the dollar."

FAQ

Common Questions About Exterior Remodeling in Summit County

That depends on the scale of the work and the weather. Minor roof repairs or targeted tuckpointing often wrap up in a day. Standard asphalt roof tear-offs and chimney rebuilds take about two to three days. Complex slate replacements or complete stonework overhauls can run two to three weeks. If severe rain or extreme freezing temp moves in, we pause sensitive mortar or roofing steps and let you know immediately.
Yes. If your roof or chimney suffered wind, hail, or tree damage, we document the structural issues with photo evidence and detailed measurements. We can meet your adjuster on-site during their inspection to walk the roof together, ensuring all necessary repair work is included in their estimate.
Regularly. Many Summit County neighborhoods feature older brickwork, custom stone accents, and original slate roofs. We source historically accurate brick patterns, mix softer mortar formulations that will not crack historic brick, and retain your home's original look while upgrading the weatherproofing underneath.
Natural slate, brick, and heavy stone are long-lasting, but they are not zero-maintenance. Clean out your gutters twice a year—especially in late autumn—so trapped water cannot freeze under the roof edge. A simple visual check of your chimney mortar every spring helps catch tiny hairline cracks before winter moisture expands them.
No. We come out to your property, evaluate your roof or masonry, discuss what you want accomplished, and provide a clear written estimate at no charge.
We work throughout all of Summit County, including Hudson, Stow, Green, Macedonia, Copley, Fairlawn, Twinsburg, and surrounding townships.
Some of it can. While bricklaying and mortar repointing require temperatures above freezing (or temporary heated enclosures so the mortar cures correctly), roof tear-offs and emergency repairs happen year-round whenever snow and ice clear off the roof pitch.
National chains often hand off jobs to sub-contractors and route your calls through distant call centers. When you hire our family-owned business, you work directly with experienced local tradesmen who know area building codes and local weather conditions inside out.
