Your Batavia Roofer.
It's Just Me, Joe.
As the county seat, Batavia is where Clermont County building permits get processed — and I know the office staff by name. That matters when your insurance claim requires permit documentation or when inspectors need to sign off on storm damage repairs.

Storm Siding Refasten + Gutter Repair
Wind pulled the siding fasteners loose across several courses — we unlocked, refastened and re-locked the wall so it lies flat with no bubbles, plus a matching aluminum gutter extension carried the downspout the rest of the way to the ground.
House, Garage and Outbuilding
Worn, curling three-tab with patch repairs already layered on it — on the ranch, the attached garage, and the detached outbuilding out back. All three came off and went back new, finished in one late-December push with the light going.

Storm Damage in Batavia
⛈️ Why Batavia roofs are at risk
Batavia's own storm record since 2019 is wind, not hail: NOAA logged wind damage reports in town and out toward Stonelick, and no hail an inch or larger within about 3.5 miles. Batavia's mix of older homes in the village core and newer subdivisions on the outskirts means every roof has a different story — and a different insurance situation.
The Batavia Roof Report
Batavia's housing has a median build year of 1955 (Census ACS), which makes the typical house about 71 years old. That’s post-war housing: board or early plywood decking, small attic vents, and roofs replaced two or three times, not always with a full tear-off. Your house can be the exception, which is what an inspection is for.
⛈️ Batavia storm history, 2019–2026
NOAA’s Storm Events Database has 15 reports of damaging wind, hail an inch or larger, or tornadoes within about 3.5 miles of Batavia between January 2019 and June 2026. The biggest:
- June 21, 2020 · wind damage report near Batavia · NOAA record
- August 30, 2019 · wind damage report near Stonelick · NOAA record
- May 23, 2019 · wind damage report near Stonelick; NOAA damage estimate $10,000 · NOAA record
- March 14, 2019 · wind damage report near Sky Hills airport, Amelia · NOAA record
No hail of an inch or larger was reported inside that radius in that span; wind is what shows up here. Wind damage reports are logged from what people saw on the ground, usually trees down or roofing torn loose. One of the strongest events in Clermont County over the same stretch came on July 6, 2022: EF2 tornado, 4.81-mile path from Goshen to Modest; NOAA damage estimate $3.0 million (NOAA).
Not sure the last storm did anything? I’ll get on the roof, photograph it, and give you a straight yes or no, free.
📋 Yes, a re-roof needs a permit
Roofing is on Clermont County Permit Central's list of projects that need a permit, and the 2026 residential application has a Roof Replacement box. Village or township zoning approval applies on top of that. Source: Clermont County Permit Central.
📜 Old bones
Batavia was platted in 1814 and has been the Clermont County seat since February 1824, when the seat moved from New Richmond. The courthouse still anchors the village center, where the oldest roofs in town are. Source
The Batavia Roofs I Actually See
Batavia splits into two very different roofing jobs, and knowing which one you have changes everything:
The village core — the older streets around Main Street and the courthouse carry homes that have been re-roofed more than once. Layered shingles, older decking, steep pitches. Ohio code limits how many layers a roof can carry, so some of these are tear-off jobs whether we like it or not — I'll tell you up front, with photos, before there's a contract in front of you.
The SR 32 corridor subdivisions — the newer developments off the Appalachian Highway and toward Amelia went up mostly in the 90s and 2000s with builder-grade shingles. Those roofs are aging into replacement territory together, and because Clermont County sees so much storm claim activity, a lot of them have storm damage worth documenting before you decide how to pay for the work. I document it so you have clear photos and an itemized estimate to share with your insurer.
The rural edges — out toward East Fork and Williamsburg, longer driveways and outbuildings. Barns and detached garages can go on the same claim as the house when the same storm hit them; most homeowners don't know to ask.
And because Batavia is the county seat, the permit office is a place I already know — your paperwork doesn't slow the job down.

Does a roof replacement in Batavia need a permit?
Yes. Roofing is on Clermont County Permit Central's list of projects that need a permit, and the 2026 residential application has a Roof Replacement box. Village or township zoning approval applies on top of that. Source: Clermont County Permit Central.
Has Batavia had hail recently?
Not on the record. NOAA shows no hail an inch or larger within about 3.5 miles of Batavia between January 2019 and June 2026. What it does show is wind; the strongest entry is the wind damage report near Stonelick on May 23, 2019. Spotter reports miss things, so a quiet record isn’t a guarantee for your roof.
What era are most Batavia homes from?
The median Batavia home was built in 1955, per the Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 survey, so half the houses are more than 71 years old. By now most have had two or three roofs, and many still sit on the original board decking. The roof’s own age is what matters, and the date of the last tear-off tells you more than the house does.
Do you cover all of Batavia?
All of it. Most of Batavia’s land falls in ZIP 45103, and I work every street. Clermont County is part of my regular Greater Cincinnati territory. Every inspection is free, and I do it myself, on the roof, with photos.
