Roofing Contractor in Strasburg, OH
Platinum Home Exteriors is the roofing contractor in Strasburg, OH that Tuscarawas County homeowners call for replacement, repair, and storm inspections. No satellite estimates are used on any job. Amish crews arrive in person, measure every roof plane by hand, and cut all flashing on-site before a single shingle is installed. Nothing gets subcontracted.
Call (330) 275-0935 to schedule an inspection or written estimate. Strasburg's residential streets are lined with the ranch homes and Cape Cods that went up during the building waves of the 1960s and 1970s, and the asphalt on most of those roofs has been aging through Tuscarawas County freeze-thaw cycles for the better part of five decades. Platinum has the right crew. Every Strasburg homeowner gets a fixed-price written estimate based on in-person measurements before any installation begins.

Serving Strasburg and the Surrounding Area
Of the 1,160 occupied housing units in Strasburg, 62.3% are owner-occupied, with a median structure year of 1978. That ownership majority matters. When nearly two-thirds of households carry the maintenance responsibility, decisions about when to inspect, when to replace, and when to file a storm claim rest directly with the people who live in these homes rather than with distant landlords or property managers. Full area coverage details for the New Philadelphia market are at New Philadelphia, OH.
Subtract that year from 2026 and the average Strasburg structure is 48 years old. Four and a half decades is meaningful. Asphalt shingles installed in the late 1970s and early 1980s have cycled through more Ohio winters than most manufacturers warrant them for, and the granule loss and tab stiffening that accumulate over that span leave a roof far more vulnerable to the next storm than it appears from the ground. Every Strasburg homeowner whose roof has not had a physical inspection in the last two to three years should schedule one now.
Roofing Conditions in Strasburg
First settled in 1828 along Sugar Creek, Strasburg grew along North Wooster Avenue with vernacular Italianate and Greek Revival structures that predate the Civil War. That layer is a small fraction of the total stock. The dominant character of Strasburg's neighborhoods is mid-20th century, with ranch homes and Cape Cods built during the 1960s and 1970s making up the majority of residential rooflines, and a secondary cluster from the 1980s filling the remaining blocks. Profiles are simple. What they present to a roofing crew instead of complexity is sheer age, with granule-depleted asphalt on wide gable runs and valley sections that have been shedding protective mineral coating for the better part of five decades.
The primary failure mode on Strasburg's ranch and Cape Cod stock is valley flashing deterioration on the open valleys where two roof planes meet. Ranch homes concentrate a disproportionate share of total roof drainage through a small number of valleys, and when the asphalt in those valleys loses granule coverage, the underlying mat is exposed to UV degradation and standing water during freeze events. Water follows. A homeowner sees a ceiling stain weeks or months after the valley seam has already failed, by which point saturation has spread to the sheathing and framing on both sides of the intersection.
Tuscarawas County was hit by a windstorm on April 29, 2025 with gusts confirmed above 70 miles per hour, and WJER Radio documented incidents specifically at Hilltop Rd NW and Cherry Run in Strasburg. Wind peels tabs. Low-slope profiles expose more tab surface area to lateral wind load per fastener, meaning aged asphalt that has lost flexibility through years of freeze-thaw cycling can lift along the full tab length rather than just at the edge. Ohio's insurance claim window is one year from the storm date, and that window remains open through approximately April 29, 2026 for the April 2025 event.
What Our Customers Say
Roofing Permits in Strasburg
Roof replacements in Strasburg require a Tuscarawas County building permit before installation begins. Permit requirements cover the scope of work, the materials going down, and a final post-installation inspection before the project is officially closed. Closed means closed. Platinum files the permit application, coordinates the inspection, and handles every step of the county process as a standard part of every job in Tuscarawas County. Homeowners in Strasburg have never had to contact a permit office on a Platinum project. Skipping the permit creates problems for insurance documentation and property resale disclosures that attach to the property and surface years after the job is done.

Roof Replacement in Strasburg
At nearly five decades old on average, Strasburg's ranch and Cape Cod stock is squarely in the replacement window rather than the repair window. Deck condition drives that decision. Platinum's replacement process begins with a full sheathing assessment before any new material is installed, includes Class 4 impact-rated shingles as a standard option, and produces written documentation that insurers can use to reduce annual premiums. Full details at Roof Replacement.
Roof Repair in Strasburg
Valley flashing failure on Strasburg's ranch homes starts at the open valley seam and moves outward into both adjacent roof planes. Early repairs stop the spread. A repair that replaces the deteriorated valley flashing, installs new underlayment across the affected section, and seals the surrounding tab edges back to the deck stops water intrusion at the source before it spreads into the sheathing on either side of the intersection. Get details at Roof Repair.
Metal Roofing in Strasburg
For Strasburg homeowners replacing a ranch or Cape Cod roof, standing seam metal offers a lifespan that outlasts multiple asphalt replacement cycles across Tuscarawas County's freeze-thaw climate. Metal holds its valley seams. Unlike open-valley asphalt, a standing seam profile at the valley junction does not lose granule protection or develop tab lift over decades of thermal movement, and the simple gable geometry of most Strasburg ranch profiles makes installation straightforward. Both standing seam and corrugated steel options are available at Metal Roofing.
Seamless Gutters in Strasburg
Sugar Creek runs through Strasburg, and homes along the creek corridor and the lower streets feeding into it carry a drainage load where gutter failure translates directly into foundation saturation rather than just surface runoff. Gutters hold that line. Platinum fabricates seamless gutters on-site, cutting each run to the exact length of the roofline so there are no seam joints to split, leak, or overflow during the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy sectional gutters on Strasburg's older ranch and Cape Cod profiles over time. A single continuous run fitted on-site to the exact fascia profile outperforms anything assembled from overlapping sections, particularly on the wide eave runs that characterize ranch-home rooflines. See options at Seamless Gutters.
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims in Strasburg
Ohio's insurance claim window is one year, meaning Strasburg homeowners with roof damage from the April 2025 windstorm have until approximately April 29, 2026 to file. Act now. Adjusters working Strasburg properties regularly miss valley tab lift on ranch and Cape Cod rooflines because the deterioration at the valley seam is not visible from the ground, and the wide, low-slope profiles of these homes make it easy to overlook lifted sections without a ladder and a physical check. Platinum accompanies homeowners through the adjuster walkthrough, documents every valley failure and tab lift on the written scope, and makes sure wind damage on the low-slope sections gets included before the inspection closes. Full storm claim details are at Storm Damage and Insurance Claims.
Amish Roofing Crews in Strasburg
Amish crews from Platinum do not estimate from aerial imagery. No satellite shows valley granule condition. Every Strasburg job starts with a crew member walking the full roof, checking the valley seams by hand, measuring every plane, and assessing sheathing condition along the eaves and at every flashing transition before any number goes into a written estimate. On Strasburg's 1960s and 1970s ranch homes, that hands-on inspection is the only way to determine whether the sheathing underneath decades-old asphalt is still structurally sound enough to hold a new roof system without a full deck replacement.
The same crew that takes the measurements completes the installation. No handoff. Strasburg homeowners do not coordinate between a sales estimator, an installation team, and a separate cleanup crew. After the last shingle is laid, the crew runs a nail sweep across the full property, clears roofing debris from the gutters, and walks every valley on the completed roof to confirm the new flashing seams are seated flush and sealed end to end before leaving the site. Every replacement in Tuscarawas County comes with Platinum's Industry Leading Craftsmanship Warranty.
