What can I do to prepare for my roofing project?

Download our What to Expect guide for information on what you can expect when you work with Warner Roofing.

Why is it better to tear off the old roof rather than install a layover roof?

We tear off the old roof to ensure the end result is structurally sound and free of algae, mold or flashing issues. Applying new shingles goes beyond improving the look of the home. It increases the home value and extends the life of the roof.

What type of shingles will be used?

We use Owens Corning shingles as a Preferred Contractor. You may choose to upgrade to Oakridge by Owens Corning dimensional shingles.

Is there a warranty provided?

We are proud to provide our 10-year workmanship warranty. Owens Corning also offers a limited lifetime warranty, once transferrable.

What is ice guard and do I need it?

An ice guard protects roofs from ice dams and snow. It comes standard in all our Cincinnati-area jobs to protect against midwestern winters. Your ice guard will be placed in the valleys and 3’ up all edges of the roof.

Can I have ridge vents instead of box vents on my roof?

A ridge vent is included as part of your estimate. We remove box vents, cover the holes and, if needed, add soffit vent. As a Preferred Contractor, we make sure every roof meets the Owens Corning guidelines of intake and exit for proper air circulation.

I have a satellite dish. Is this a problem?

It’s not a problem at all. We will have to remove the dish from your roof to access the whole roof and reinstall upon completion. Check with your dish provider to see if they are solely responsible for re-installing and aligning your satellite dish.

Can you work on or add skylights?

Yes, we can. We can fix or install new skylights. You will just be responsible for all interior work, additions and repair. We can connect you with a contractor to help complete your project.

Jill and Bryan helped us with some issues we were having with our roof this winter. From setting up the appointment, to the initial appointment, and when Bryan came to fix it, we had nothing but a positive experience. We were so impressed with their professionalism, their willingness to work with our schedules, and their personals interaction, that we recommended them to my parents when they needed a new roof this summer.

We know there are other options in the city, but without a doubt, Warner Roofing was the only name we were going to give them based on our experience. We were confident that Warner Roofing would be fair, flexible and spend the time needed to make sure my parents made the best decision, as roofs aren't cheap. My parents were pleased with the estimate, the time that was spent in picking out what was needed, and said the workers were efficient, courtesy and left the yard and driveway even cleaner than when they arrived!
If you need a roof, or someone to fix your roof, look no further than WARNER ROOFING!

I contacted Jill via fb messenger on a Sunday, I didn't expect any response until Monday at the earliest. Not only did I get a response, I had an appointment set for Tuesday and my repair done on Friday! Their pricing was reasonable, Bryan and Jill were great and the crew that came out was courteous and efficient. I can't recommend them enough! Thanks so much!

"I found Bryan Warner from Warner Roofing, INC to be very accommodating, thorough and responsive. He did things that were not expected which resulted in further enhancements and complete customer satisfaction. Neighbors have commented on how good our roof looks and I have recommended him to several of our neighbors. Bryan was a big help to me in working with my insurance company and relating the storm damage that was done. If it had not been for Bryan, things probably would not have gone as smoothly with the insurance company. Bryan worked the job along with the crew to ensure a quality job. I have one of the best looking roofs on our street due to the high quality work of Bryan Warner and his team of employees."
