The No Big Deal Difference
🤝 One name on the job: mine
The guy who climbs your roof writes the estimate and supervises the crew. There’s no salesperson in between, because there isn’t one.
🛡️ Storm work done by the book
Once you’ve filed, I meet the adjuster on the roof with photos of every hit and a line-item estimate. You own the claim and make the calls.
💰 The number holds up
Itemized, in writing, and explained line by line. If something on it doesn’t make sense, ask, and I’ll show you on the roof.
✅ A standing offer
While you own the home, anything I worked on gets a free look whenever you call. Workmanship issues are fixed under the written warranty, and full GAF system installs are eligible for enhanced GAF warranty coverage.
Storm Damage in Mt. Orab
⛈️ Why Mt. Orab roofs are at risk
Mt. Orab took 1.75-inch (golf-ball) hail on April 8, 2020, per NOAA, and an estimated 75 mph gust hit nearby Bardwell in June 2019. The community's mix of older homes and newer construction creates varied roofing challenges after every major weather event.
The Mt. Orab Roof Report
Mt. Orab's housing has a median build year of 1994 (Census ACS), which makes the typical house about 32 years old. That puts a lot of these roofs on their second round. On houses this age the first thing I check is whether the last re-roof was a tear-off or an overlay, and how the OSB has held up at the eaves. Your house can be the exception, which is what an inspection is for.

Not sure the last storm did anything? I’ll get on the roof, photograph it, and give you a straight yes or no, free.
📋 Permit rules: ask before the tear-off
Building permits here go through the Brown County Building Department after village zoning. Its listed scope for homes covers structural remodeling and does not name roofing, so a permit is likely only when decking or rafters are involved. That is unverified. From: Brown County Building Department.
Before a tear-off, ask the Brown County Building Department; the answer can change by address.

Is a permit required to re-roof a house in Mt. Orab?
No official page settles it. Building permits here go through the Brown County Building Department after village zoning. Its listed scope for homes covers structural remodeling and does not name roofing, so a permit is likely only when decking or rafters are involved. That is unverified.

When did hail last hit near Mt. Orab?
The most recent report was 1.75-inch hail on April 8, 2020 near Mt. Orab. NOAA logged 2 reports of hail an inch or larger within about 4 miles of Mt. Orab from 2019 through June 2026, on one day. Storm cells are narrow, so a report down the road says nothing certain about your street.
How old are most roofs in Mt. Orab?
The median Mt. Orab home was built in 1994, per the Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 survey, so half the houses are more than 32 years old. A lot of those roofs are the second the house has had, usually on OSB, and some went straight over the first layer. If you know when the last tear-off happened, that date matters more than the build year.
Which Mt. Orab ZIP codes do you cover?
All of them. Most of Mt. Orab’s land falls in ZIPs 45154 and 45176, and I work every street. Brown County is part of my regular Greater Cincinnati territory. Inspections are free and I do them personally, with photos you keep.
