Roofing and exterior work for Perrysburg homes

A younger housing stock than most of the region

Perrysburg sits on the south bank of the Maumee River in Wood County, just southwest of Toledo and home to the Fort Meigs historic site. Its housing is newer than most of the area. U.S. Census Bureau survey data puts the median year a Perrysburg home was built at 1988, and about a third of the city's homes went up in 2000 or later. In Toledo, the median is 1955.

That shapes what homeowners here are dealing with. A house built in the late 1990s or 2000s may still have its original roof, gutters and windows, and those parts tend to age together. Homes in the older parts of town face a different list: second roofs, tired siding and drafty windows. Either way, the first step is an honest look at what the house actually needs.

What to expect from a first roof replacement

If your home still has the roof it was built with, replacing it is often the first time anyone has looked closely at the shingles, flashing and ventilation together. We look at the whole roof and tell you plainly whether you need a repair, a full replacement or nothing yet. You get a clear plan and upfront pricing before any work starts.

If a storm has damaged your roof, our team also assists with the insurance claims process. Start with our storm damage documentation checklist, then read how the roof insurance claim process works.

The rest of the exterior

Roofing is where most calls start, but one contractor for the whole exterior keeps the job simpler. Here is what we handle for Perrysburg homeowners.

Permits: city zoning first, then Wood County

Perrysburg splits permitting between two offices. The city's Planning and Zoning Division issues zoning permits, and the city contracts with Wood County Building Inspection for building permits. The city is clear that zoning permits must be obtained before building permits are issued.

The downtown Historic District adds a step. The city's guidance says exterior alterations there must be approved by the Historic Landmarks Commission before a permit can be issued, and the commission publishes design guidelines and a color style guide for the district. If your property is in or near the district, call Planning and Zoning at 419-872-8060 before settling on materials.

We pull the permits for the work we do, in every community we work in. We also take on work in the Historic District, where the Historic Landmarks Commission reviews exterior changes before a permit is issued.
