We know New Franklin well. Pete Navarro and our team have been driving the rolling roads of southern Summit County since 1984, from the postwar ranches clustered near Manchester Road to the acreage properties off Rex Lake Road and the older farmsteads along South Main Street. We understand that a detached workshop on a rural New Franklin lot is not an afterthought; it is where your equipment lives, and it needs a roof that holds up through the same freeze-thaw punishment as your house. That is why we built our operation for one-trip completion, with 40-foot service trailers and crews trained to handle both standard residential pitches and the low-slope structures common on New Franklin’s 1950s-1970s housing stock. When we commit to a date, we arrive with the materials, the people, and the equipment to finish. No return trips for forgotten underlayment. No subcontractor delays. We will be there when we say.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in New Franklin
Full Roof Replacement
A full roof replacement in New Franklin addresses what partial repairs cannot: the cumulative damage from decades of lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and northwest wind exposure. We strip to the deck, assess every sheet of OSB or plank sheathing, and install proper underlayment that meets current Summit County code. For the ranch homes near Portage Lakes and the older properties along Rex Lake Road, this often means correcting original construction that lacked ice-and-water shield entirely. Our crew brings everything needed for one-trip completion, including the 40-foot trailer for properties with long service drives.
New Construction Roofing
New builds in New Franklin’s remaining acreage parcels require roofing systems designed for the specific exposure of open, rolling terrain. We work with builders and homeowners to specify proper ventilation, underlayment, and flashing details that prevent the problems we see repeatedly on older homes. Getting it right during construction means never revisiting the roof for decades.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
Asphalt shingles remain the practical choice for most New Franklin homes, and we install Owens Corning Duration STORM, GAF Timberline HDZ, and Atlas StormMaster Slate lines with full manufacturer warranty registration. On low-pitch ranch roofs, we specify architectural shingles with enhanced sealant strips and full ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, because standard three-tab installations simply do not survive New Franklin’s winter thaw cycles. We replaced the low-pitch roof over a detached workshop on Maplecrest Drive, where the original 1950s asphalt shingles had failed under repeated freeze-thaw cycles. We installed Owens Corning Duration STORM shingles with a full ice-and-water shield, and our crew brought a dedicated 40-foot service drive trailer to handle the job in one trip.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is gaining ground on New Franklin’s rural properties for good reason: it sheds snow, resists wind, and outlasts asphalt on low-pitch applications where drainage is marginal. We install standing-seam and exposed-fastener systems from leading manufacturers, with proper thermal break details that prevent condensation in unheated workshops and barns. For detached structures with long service drives, metal’s longevity means one replacement instead of two or three.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in New Franklin Homes
- Ice dam backup on low-pitch ranch roofs. The 1940s-1970s ranches near Manchester Road and South Main Street were built before modern ice-and-water shield requirements. Snow melts, refreezes at the eave, and water backs up under shingles, rotting OSB decking for seasons before a ceiling stain appears.
- Wind-driven rain under aging flashing on exposed farmhouses. New Franklin’s open terrain offers little windbreak from northwest winds. Older farmhouses on acreage lots see accelerated granule loss and flashing separation as wind forces rain uphill and sideways into gaps that caulk cannot seal.
- Catastrophic failure of low-pitch garage and addition roofs. The attached garages and rear room additions common on 1950s-1960s New Franklin ranches were built without ice-and-water shield. These sections collect backed-up meltwater and fail first, often collapsing into the structure below during a heavy thaw.
- Granule loss and premature aging on south and west exposures. The same open terrain that makes New Franklin pleasant in summer exposes roofing to intense UV and thermal cycling. We see fifteen-year shingles failing in ten on unshaded slopes.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in New Franklin
They were built without ice-and-water shield, and the freeze-thaw cycle at New Franklin’s latitude forces meltwater to pool at the eave, back up under shingles, and rot decking from the inside out. The low pitch slows drainage just enough to guarantee trouble. We correct this with full ice-and-water shield installation and proper ventilation on every replacement. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free inspection of your eave condition.
Yes, if the workshop is unheated or has minimal insulation, because temperature differentials create condensation that standard felt cannot manage. We specify synthetic underlayment with a high perm rating or, for metal applications, a proper thermal break. Our 40-foot trailer lets us handle detached structures in one trip, even with long service drives. Call (844) 563-1816 to discuss your building.
Most 1940s farmhouses in New Franklin require decking assessment and often replacement of original plank sheathing, which we discover only after tear-off. We plan for this contingency, bring replacement OSB on every truck, and complete 90% of these jobs in a single day. The key is proper pre-inspection and honest communication about what we might find. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule a photo-documented assessment.
Owens Corning Duration STORM and GAF Timberline HDZ both carry Class 3 or 4 impact ratings and enhanced sealant strips that resist wind uplift to 130 mph. For New Franklin’s combination of lake-effect snow and northwest wind exposure, we typically recommend architectural shingles with these ratings over three-tab products. We bring samples to your home so you can compare. Call (844) 563-1816 to see them in person.
Look for granules in your gutters, daylight visible from inside the garage or addition, or any ceiling stain that appears during a thaw and disappears in dry weather. These are warning signs that water is already bypassing your shingles and attacking decking. Because 1970s additions in New Franklin almost never had ice-and-water shield, they fail suddenly and completely rather than gradually. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free inspection before the next thaw cycle.
