Here are the roof replacement companies OH homeowners in and around Cleveland turn to — ranked by real customer rating, no filler.
Home Genius Exteriors holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status (top 1% of contractors) plus James Hardie Elite and CertainTeed 5-Star certifications, and reviews back up the credentials — homeowners repeatedly single out their dedicated project managers for staying in touch throughout the job. Crews are described as fast and considerate of property across windows, roofing, siding, and gutters, not just one specialty. Their promotional "50% off materials" offer explicitly excludes windows and doors — confirm what's actually included before you count on it.
Erie Home specializes in stone-coated steel roofing — a heavier-duty alternative to asphalt shingles with a 50-year transferable warranty — and reviews back up their one-day installation claim even on large roofs, with repeated praise for thorough cleanup. Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles; the tradeoff is longevity and storm resistance, which matters most in hail- or wind-prone regions.
Lednor Home Solutions is the regional Gutter Helmet dealer for Maryland, DC, and Virginia, and reviews consistently praise punctual, clean installation crews. A recurring, fair theme in reviews is scheduling speed for repair/warranty service calls — ask about typical response time for service requests before you sign.

Cleveland tracks the national average, so local and national ranges match. Based on mean hourly wages for roofers in the Cleveland, OH area versus the national mean (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), applied to the labor share of the job. National ranges are market-wide averages; a written quote from a local contractor is the only figure that reflects your actual home.
New to this? Our roof replacement guide explains the options, what separates a repair from a replacement, and what drives the price — then come back here for what is specific to Cleveland.
Roof Replacement in Cleveland typically costs $8,500–$17,000 for a standard project on an average home. That is in line with the national average for this trade, on local wages. Where you land in that range depends on material grade, scope, and the type of company you hire. Every company below serves Cleveland and is ranked by real customer rating.
The questions below are the ones homeowners in Cleveland ask most often before booking roof replacement — what it costs locally, whether a permit is needed, how long the work takes and how to tell a good quote from a bad one. Answers reflect this market specifically, not national averages.
Permit requirements for roof replacement depend on the scope of your project and the municipality you are in, and Cleveland is rated moderate on permit complexity relative to other metros we cover. Ask each contractor who pulls the permit, whether the fee is inside their quote, and to show you the approved permit in writing before work starts.
Permitting for structural, roofing work in this area goes through City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. Many Cleveland homes are pre-1950 — lead paint assessment may be required.
There is no Ohio state license for roof replacement — this work is governed locally. (source, verified as of 2026-08-12) What that means and how to verify a contractor in Ohio →
Installed cost in Cleveland lands within about a percentage point of the national average for this trade. That figure is not a cost-of-living index — it is built from Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data for the Cleveland, OH metro area, weighted by the roughly 22% of a roof replacement job that is labor rather than material.
Local trade wages sit about 2% above the national figure, but the installed price moves less than that, because material ships at national prices no matter where you live. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect — and why a suspiciously cheap quote in an expensive market is worth a second look.
