Minor damage to shingles can easily be repaired

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense for protecting your family and possessions from outdoor weather. That’s why it’s important to repair damaged spots as soon as you notice them. Ignoring them can prove costly road and end when you end up paying hundreds of dollars extra to repair those items along with your roof.

If you notice a problem spot, give Ohio Roofing & Siding a call to come out and inspect your roof. Our experts will be able to tell you if your entire roof needs replaced, or if only a small section of it needs to be repaired. If you have a newer roof, chances are only a small section needs to be repaired.

Some common problems to be on the lookout for include:

Broken Shingles

Even if only a small part of your shingle is missing, you’ll experience big problems if it’s not replaced. Replacing a single shingle can be a tedious process that involves a hammer, pry bar and removing 11/4 inch roofing nails. If it’s not replaced correctly, you could have an even bigger problem on your hands.

Rather than going through this process yourself, let Ohio Roofing & Siding replace it for you so you know the job is done right.

Curled Corners

As your roof begins to age, the corners of some of your shingles may begin to curl before it’s time to replace the whole roof. Curled shingles leave small spots under your roof exposed to weather elements, so it’s important to have them repaired as soon as possible.

Cracked Shingles

Just as a cracked jar will leak fluid, a cracked shingle will let water leak through and damage your roof. It only takes one cracked shingle to lead to damage to the wood beneath the shingles, so if our crew notices a cracked shingle, it’s best to replace it right then.

If you notice any of these problems with your roof, contact Ohio Roofing & Siding and we’ll come out right away to evaluate and repair your roof. Call 419-531-4605 or complete our online form today.

Home builders rely on vinyl siding because of its versatility, durability and cost.


While vinyl siding is weather resilient, it does need to be cleaned occasionally to prevent mold and mildew growth. Here are some cleaning solutions you can prepare yourself:

  • Use a 70-30 ratio of water to vinegar. This mixture will remove light mold and erase mildew stains.
  • If you need a stronger solution, mix 1/3 of a cup of powdered laundry detergent, 2/3 of a cup of powdered household cleaner, one quarter of laundry bleach and a gallon of water. Beware, this solution may kill some of the landscaping near your home.
  • To preserve your landscaping, mix one cup of oxygen bleach with a gallon of water.
  • Simple Green is also environmentally friendly and will clean vinyl siding, stucco, and painted wood.

To apply these solutions, simply use a soft cloth or a soft-bristle brush. You can also use a power washer, but some vinyl siding manufacturers advise against this practice.


For more information about vinyl siding or to have it installed on your home, contact Ohio Roofing and Siding at 419-531-4605  or send us a message.
