Severe Weather and Roofing in the Wheeling Area
NWS Pittsburgh handles Wheeling's forecasts and severe weather warnings. Tornado activity is uncommon in this part of West Virginia. According to NWS Pittsburgh, Ohio County recorded only one tornado from 1950 through 2021. That changed in August 2022.
August 1, 2022. An EF2 tornado touched down around 6:30 PM near Dallas, West Virginia, just east of Wheeling proper. Maximum sustained winds were estimated at 110 to 120 mph. The path was nearly two miles long and up to 400 yards wide. The tornado tore through Ohio County, Marshall County, and into Washington County, Pennsylvania.
The National Weather Service damage survey documented significant losses. A barn at the touchdown site was destroyed. A camper on the same property was overturned. A 160-year-old barn on Rock Valley Farm Road had its roof torn off. The Dallas United Methodist Church parsonage suffered major roof damage. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted, and 400 to 500 residents lost power initially.
This was the first confirmed tornado in Marshall County in 20 years. As one NWS meteorologist put it during the damage survey, the Ohio River disrupts the formation of tornadoes coming in from the west, which is why severe tornado events in this area are rare.
Tornadoes are unusual in Wheeling. The roofs we replace in Ohio and Marshall counties are far more often the result of accumulated wear over time rather than a single severe weather event. Decades of wind, hail, and freeze-thaw cycles produce the conditions we document during most of our inspections. The 2022 EF2 is the exception, not the pattern, but the pattern still wears out roofs on its own schedule.
What Our Customers Say
Permits and Inspections in Wheeling
Roof replacement inside Wheeling city limits requires a permit from the City of Wheeling Building & Planning Department. The department is located at 1500 Chapline Street, Wheeling, WV 26003. The phone number is (304) 234-3601.
On a Wheeling project, we handle the permit paperwork ourselves. You don't need to contact the Building and Planning Department. After the install, the city's inspector comes out to close the permit. We deliver the closeout documentation to you, which matters for any future insurance claim, refinance, or sale of the home.
Wheeling's surrounding county territory in Ohio County or Marshall County is permitted through the county itself. Platinum files the paperwork regardless of which jurisdiction applies.
