YICN Roofing: #1 Roofing Company in Cleveland, OH & Northeast Ohio

Complete Roofing & Exterior Services

Your roof started leaking at 2 AM last Tuesday during that storm. Or maybe you noticed a few shingles in your yard after the wind hit Lakewood last month. I talked to a homeowner in Parma last week who ignored a small leak for six months—and ended up with $8,000 in water damage to their ceiling and insulation. That's the thing about roof problems. They don't fix themselves and don't get cheaper if you wait.

YICN Roofing handles everything from emergency repairs to full roof replacements across Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and the surrounding areas. We also install siding, gutters, and skylights. Have been doing this long enough to know that most roofing problems show warning signs before becoming disasters—you just need to know what to look for.

Roof Replacement

Most roofs in Northeast Ohio last 20-25 years depending on the material. If your roof is hitting that age or seeing widespread damage, replacement makes more sense than patching. We had a customer in Strongsville try to patch their way through another winter—spent $2,000 on repairs over two years when replacing a roof would've cost $7,500 total.

We install asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat roof systems for homes throughout Cuyahoga, Summit, and Medina counties. The process takes 1-3 days for most residential homes. You'll get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and disposal costs before we start anything.

Roof Repair

Small problems turn into big ones fast. Missing shingles let water under your roof deck. That water sits there and rots the wood. Now you're replacing decking and dealing with mold instead of just replacing a few shingles.

Common repairs we handle: missing or damaged shingles, flashing issues around chimneys and vents, valley damage, and leak repairs. If you're in Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, or any of the older neighborhoods with steep roofs, ice dams cause problems every winter. We fix the damage and can prevent it from happening again.

Commercial Roofing

Flat roofs leak differently than residential roofs. Pooling water is usually the culprit. We work on retail buildings, apartment complexes, and small commercial properties throughout the Cleveland metro area.

TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen are the most common commercial roofing systems we install and repair. Most commercial clients call us for annual inspections because catching problems early saves thousands compared to emergency repairs during business hours.

Residential Roofing

Every house is different. Ranch homes in Mentor have different roofing needs than two-story colonials in Hudson. We handle all residential roofing projects from small Cape Cods to large custom homes.

Asphalt shingles work perfectly on most homes in our area. Metal roofing is more popular because it lasts 40+ years and handles the weather better. We'll walk you through options based on your house style, budget, and how long you plan to stay in the home.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Metal roofs last 40-50 years, sometimes longer. We've seen metal roofs in Lakewood and Cleveland Heights that are 60 years old and still going strong. Compare that to asphalt shingles that need replacing every 12-20 years, and the math works out fast. Plus, Ohio weather is brutal on roofs. Heavy snow in winter, ice dams along the edges, pounding rain in spring, and those summer storms that rip shingles right off. Metal handles all of it without breaking a sweat.

A couple in Medina told us they were spending $800 a year on roof repairs - fixing storm damage, replacing blown-off shingles, patching leaks. We put metal roofing on their house three years ago, and they haven't spent a dime on repairs since. Metal doesn't crack, split, or blow off in high winds. It sheds snow better than anything else, so you don't get those dangerous ice dams that backup water under your roof.

We install standing seam, corrugated panels, and metal shingles throughout Medina, North Olmsted, Mentor, and Willoughby. Yeah it costs more upfront, but you'll never replace it again.

Storm Damage Restoration

That storm that hit Avon Lake last spring? We got 47 calls in three days. Wind and hail damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Sometimes it takes weeks before leaks start showing up inside.

Get your roof inspected after major storms even if everything looks fine. Insurance companies give you specific timeframes to file claims—usually one year but sometimes less depending on your policy. We document everything with photos and measurements to help with your claim process.

Hail Damage Repair

Hail hits Northeast Ohio harder than most people realize. I've seen golf ball-sized hail in Brunswick punch straight through asphalt shingles. The damage looks like dark spots or divots on the shingles where the granules got knocked off.

Most insurance policies cover hail damage if you file within the claim period. We inspect roofs throughout Medina, Summit, and Cuyahoga counties after hail storms. Contact YICN Roofing for your free, no-obligation roof inspection in Northeast Ohio.

Emergency Tarping

Trees fall at 2 AM. Storms hit weekends. We provide emergency tarp services around the clock throughout our service area. The tarp stops additional water damage until we can schedule proper repairs.

Had a customer in North Olmsted lose part of their roof during a windstorm on Saturday night. We had the tarps up Sunday morning before the next round of rain came through. Quick response prevents water from destroying ceilings, insulation, and belongings.

Siding Services

Siding Services

Most people think siding is just about how your house looks. Yeah, nice siding makes your home look better and adds value, but the real job is protecting what's underneath. Your siding is the first line of defense against rain, snow, wind, and everything else Ohio weather throws at your house. When it fails, water seeps behind it and sits against your wood sheathing. That wood soaks up moisture, starts rotting, and then you've got mold, structural damage, and a huge repair bill.

We did a job in Parma where a guy ignored some loose siding panels for two winters. By the time he called us, water had rotted out the window framing and insulation in two rooms. What should've been a $3,000 siding repair turned into a $15,000 project because of all the hidden damage. A homeowner in Strongsville told us she noticed her heating bills going up but didn't connect it to the gaps in her siding. Cold air was getting in through cracks she couldn't even see from the ground. That's why keeping your siding in good shape isn't just about curb appeal—it's about protecting your home and your wallet.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is popular in Ohio because it handles our temperature swings without cracking and doesn't need painting. It comes in dozens of colors and styles that look like wood but without maintenance.

Most vinyl siding installations take 3-5 days for an average-sized home. We see a lot of wind damage on older vinyl in Elyria and Lorain where lakefront winds hit hardest. If your siding is cracked, faded, or pulling away from the house, replacement makes sense.

Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement costs more upfront but lasts longer than vinyl—typically 50+ years. It won't melt from a grill fire or crack in cold weather like vinyl sometimes does.

Popular in areas like Solon, Hudson, and Aurora where homeowners want the look of wood planks without rot issues. James Hardie is the brand most people request. It takes about a week to install on most homes.

Wood Siding

Real wood siding looks great but needs maintenance. You need to paint or stain every 5-7 years in Ohio's climate. Cedar and pine are the most common options we install.

Mostly we see wood siding requests in historic neighborhoods like Cleveland Heights and Lakewood where people want to match the original look of their home. If you're restoring an older house, wood siding might be required under historical guidelines.

Siding Repair

Don't replace all your siding if you don't have to. We repair sections damaged by storms, accidents, or woodpeckers (yeah, that's a real problem in the wooded areas around Brecksville and Broadview Heights).

Matching existing siding can be tricky if it's been on the house for 15+ years because colors fade. We keep samples from common manufacturers to find the closest match possible.

Siding Replacement

Full siding replacement makes sense when you've got widespread damage, fading, or if you're just tired of maintaining your current siding. Also, it's a good time to add insulation behind the new siding to cut heating costs.

We remove old siding, inspect and repair any wood rot or water damage underneath, then install replacement siding. The condition of what's under your current siding affects the final cost—something we can't know until we remove a section.

Guttering Services

Seamless Guttering

Your gutters are overflowing, pulling away from your house, or maybe you've got water pooling around your foundation. At YICN Roofing, we install and repair seamless gutters across Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, because bad gutters cause way more damage than they cost to fix. Last spring, we got called to a house in Lakewood where the homeowner ignored sagging gutters for two years. Water had been pouring over the sides and pooling next to the foundation - ended up with a cracked foundation and water in the basement. The foundation repair cost $8,000. New gutters would've been $1,500. That's why you can't ignore gutter problems.

Seamless Gutter Installation

Seamless gutters don't leak at the seams like sectional gutters because we form them on-site to fit your exact roof measurements. They look cleaner and last longer.

Most homes in Northeast Ohio need 5-inch or 6-inch gutters depending on your roof size and pitch. We install aluminum gutters with various colors to match your trim or siding. It takes about a day for most residential installations.

Gutter Guard Protection

Cleaning gutters twice a year isn't fun, especially for two-story homes. Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out so water flows freely.

Different systems work better in different situations. If there are a lot of trees near your house in areas like Pepper Pike or Hunting Valley, you need guards that handle heavy leaf debris. We'll recommend what actually works based on your property.

Professional Gutter Repairs

Sagging gutters, holes, and separate seams are the most common problems. Usually happens because gutters are filled with debris, got too heavy, and pulled away from the fascia board.

We fix leaks, reattach loose sections, and replace damaged downspouts. Sometimes the fascia board behind the gutter is rotted and needs replacing—pretty common on homes throughout Wickliffe and Willowick where ice dams are a regular problem.

Skylight Installation

Skylights bring natural light into dark spaces but they have to be installed right or they'll leak. We install Velux skylights—they're the most reliable brand and come with good warranties.

Common spots for skylights: bathrooms, hallways, and kitchen areas that don't get much natural light. The installation takes about half a day per skylight and includes proper flashing to prevent leaks.

Insurance Claims Help

Insurance companies don't always approve claims on the first try. We document roof damage thoroughly with photos, measurements, and detailed reports that adjusters need to process claims.

Been through hundreds of insurance claims with homeowners throughout Akron, Canton, and Cleveland. We can meet with your adjuster, explain the damage, and provide estimates that match insurance industry standards. No guarantees on claim approval but proper documentation will help your case significantly.
