Roof Replacement
A full replacement here begins by stripping the roof to the wood and reading what the old deck has to say. The river towns are old. Marietta, Belpre, and Beverly are full of homes from the 1800s and early 1900s, and under their shingles you often find plank decking, hand-cut framing, and flashing that rusted through decades back. We sound out every board, swap what has rotted, and lay fresh underlayment and flashing, then the new roof goes on. One Amish crew stays on your house start to finish, the same faces from the first tear-off to the last sweep of the yard.
Metal Roofing
On the open hilltops above the river, wind hits an asphalt roof harder than it was ever built to take. Standing-seam steel runs 40 to 70 years. Down along the shaded creek bottoms, its hard surface gives moss and mildew nowhere to dig in. Snow and ice slide clear of the panels rather than working under a shingle edge. Steel costs more at the outset, so we walk you through whether the longer life pays for itself on your home before you decide.
Seamless Gutters
We form every gutter on site, rolling it from one solid coil so the run has no seams to split or leak as the years pass. The bigger issue is usually pitch. A steep roof sends a wall of water down all at once, and a gutter sized wrong for that slope spills over its front lip in any hard rain. Leaves matter too, with so much timber across the county. They mat down in the trough, freeze through January, and the ice load can pull a whole run away from the fascia board.
Roof Repair & Storm Damage
In June 2025 a derecho ripped up the Ohio Valley with gusts past 75 mph, and southeastern Ohio took a beating, limbs punching through roofs, shingles stripped bare, and power out for days. Storms are what fill our repair calendar here. Most of the rest trace to flashing that gave out where a chimney or valley meets the shingles, ice wedging under the eaves in winter, or wind peeling at the ridge. The trouble is that none of it is easy to see from the ground. A cracked flashing joint or a lifted shingle stays invisible from the driveway until the ceiling below it turns brown. When the roof underneath is still solid, a repair beats tearing the whole thing off, and we will say so. The morning after a storm we have a crew out, photographing everything for the insurance claim and throwing a tarp over any breach before more rain finds it.
Roof Damage and Aging Homes in Washington County
Ohio's oldest ground sits here, settled at Marietta in 1788 where the Muskingum pours into the Ohio. The county runs two ways at once. Flat river bottoms follow the water through Marietta, Belpre, and Beverly, and behind them the land climbs fast into the unglaciated hills that cover most of the map. A roof on a bare hilltop fights wind the valley floor never feels, while one shaded in a wooded hollow fights damp and the moss that rides in with it. Whichever way a house sits, the flashing tends to fail before anything else.
The houses here wear their history. In Marietta, the county seat and Ohio's first city, the median home dates to 1954, but the figure that matters more is how many predate 1940, a full 41.6 percent. A roof structure from that era is pushing 70 years old, sitting on hand-laid plank sheathing and a single layer of tar paper, the best that a roof got back then. Owners hold 73 percent of the county's 25,254 occupied homes, so a roof at the end of its life usually falls to the family living beneath it. An old roof left too long gets costly. Leaks slip past the flashing into the decking, then down through the framing, where the repair bill only grows.
People around Marietta still trade stories about the June 2025 derecho. It charged up the Ohio Valley fast, snapping limbs onto roofs and dragging lines down from Belpre to New Matamoras. The cruel part of wind damage is how well it hides, sitting up top unseen until a stain spreads across a ceiling or a drip starts in the attic. Ohio gives you one year to file. Miss that window and the repair comes out of your own pocket, so a look while the damage is fresh pays for itself.

Permits for Roof Replacement in Washington County
The county runs its own building office, the Southeast Ohio Building Department in Marietta, and unlike the rural counties around it, that office handles residential permits along with commercial. Whether a reroof needs one comes down to where the house sits and how big the job is. A straightforward tear-off and recover often passes without a permit. Heavier structural work, or anything in a riverside flood-plain, can call for review. Either way, the asking falls to us, not you.
Pulling a permit, when one is needed, is part of what we do. We have roofed across this county long enough to know how the Southeast Ohio Building Department works and what it wants to see. From there we complete the application, submit it, and carry it through to approval, so you never have to make the trip to Marietta. The errand is ours.
Southeast Ohio Building Department, 205 Putnam Street, Marietta, OH 45750. Phone (740) 374-4185. Hours and requirements can change, so it is worth a call before you plan around them.
