Roofing Services

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, and when there’s an issue, it usually requires prompt attention. We help West Akron homeowners handle roof concerns without guesswork or shortcuts, whether it’s a small repair or a full replacement.

Our comprehensive roofing services include:

  • Roof inspections to identify problems and vulnerable areas
  • Roof repairs for leaks, storm damage, missing shingles, and flashing issues

Comprehensive Exterior Remodeling Services

No two homes have the same exterior remodeling needs. That's why we take the time to evaluate your home's exterior, identify areas showing signs of wear or damage, and discuss your goals for improving its appearance, protection, and performance. From there, we'll explain our recommendations, answer your questions, and help you determine which improvements make the most sense for your home.

Gutter Services

If your gutters are overflowing, sagging, or constantly clogging, water is not being directed properly. We address these problems through gutter system replacement, targeted repairs, gutter guard installation, and maintenance services.

If a new system is the right choice for your home, we offer durable aluminum, steel, vinyl, and copper options.

Siding Services

Siding concerns often start small, like cracks, fading, or slight warping, but over time they can let moisture get behind the surface and create more serious damage. When that happens, we handle siding repairs to fix the affected areas, stop further deterioration, and restore protection.

When siding damage is more widespread or the material has simply reached the end of its lifespan, replacement becomes the better long-term option. We install new siding using vinyl and fiber cement materials that are built to handle West Akron weather and improve your home’s durability.

Window Installation

Drafty or aging windows often lead to higher energy bills and uncomfortable rooms. Our team installs replacement windows in vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass, wood, and composite materials designed to improve comfort and energy efficiency. If you’re not sure which option is right for your home, we can recommend solutions that match your space and budget.

Exterior Painting

Faded or peeling paint is often a sign your home is losing both curb appeal and protection. We provide exterior painting with a focus on proper prep work and precise application so the finish holds up strong for years to come.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How Long Will My Roof Last?

Most asphalt roofs last 20–30 years. However, this depends on several factors, such as durability, quality, and the type of roofing materials used.

Can I Extend The Lifespan Of My Roof?

Proper installation, ventilation, and regular maintenance prevent the premature aging of your roof.

Which Is Better, Tile or Shingle Roofs?

Tile roofs are best for longevity and energy efficiency, but asphalt shingles are more cost-effective for areas with milder weather.

What Should I Do If My Roof Is Leaking?

  • Call a roofing contractor.
  • Protect your interiors by moving items, tarping walls, collecting water, and checking your attic.
  • Inspect the roof after the weather clears.
  • Clear gutters and tarp the leak area.

What Are the Signs My Roof Has Issues?

  • Missing shingles
  • Curling or buckling shingles
  • Granule loss
  • Water leaks
  • Ceiling stains
  • Damaged flashing
  • Rusted gutters
  • Mold on exterior walls

Do You Offer Warranties on Windows and Installation?

Yes, we do. First, it's important to know that there are usually two types of warranties—one from the manufacturer for the windows themselves and one from us for the installation work.

Manufacturer warranties can cover things like:

  • Defects in materials
  • Glass seal failures
  • Frame issues

While our workmanship warranty ensures the installation is done right.

Before we start, we'll review:

  • What's covered
  • How long it lasts
  • How to make a claim if needed

The best part? We keep your warranty information on file, so you don't have to dig through paperwork years later. That way, you can enjoy your new windows with total peace of mind.

How Do I Know It's Time to Replace My Windows?

If your windows feel drafty, are difficult to open or close, or show signs of condensation between panes, it may be time for a replacement.

You might also notice:

  • Peeling paint
  • Rotting frames
  • Higher-than-usual energy bills

These can all signal that your windows aren't performing well. At Storm Guard, we offer professional inspections to help you determine whether repair or replacement is the best solution, so you can enjoy improved comfort, energy efficiency, and curb appeal.

How Long Does New Siding Last?

The lifespan of siding depends on the material and maintenance:

  • Vinyl Siding: Lasts 20–40 years; affordable, versatile, and low-maintenance.
  • Aluminum Siding: Lasts 30–50 years; durable and resistant to pests and rot.
  • Fiber Cement Siding: Can last 50+ years; extremely strong and weather-resistant.
  • Engineered Wood Siding: Also lasts 50+ years; combines durability with a natural look.

With Storm Guard, you get high-quality materials and professional installation to help your siding reach its maximum lifespan and keep your property looking its best for decades.

Can I Install New Siding Over Old Siding?

Yes, in some cases you can install new siding over old siding—but it's not always the best option. The existing siding must be in good condition and free from rot, mold, or structural issues. If there's hidden damage, covering it up can lead to bigger problems later.

Storm Guard will inspect your current siding, identify any repairs needed, and recommend whether an overlay or full replacement will give you the best long-term results. This way, you get a solution that's both safe and cost-effective.

How Often Should I Replace My Gutters?

It depends on the material, installation quality, and how well you maintain them:

  • Aluminum Gutters: Last 20–25 years; lightweight, rust-resistant, and popular for residential use.
  • Steel Gutters: Last 20–30 years; strong and durable, but may rust without maintenance.
  • Copper Gutters: Can last 50+ years; premium choice with exceptional durability and a unique look.
  • Vinyl Gutters: Last 10–20 years; affordable and easy to install, but may not hold up well in extreme weather.

With Storm Guard, you'll install gutters professionally with the right materials for your home or business. It will help you avoid costly water damage and protect your property year-round.

How Long Do Gutter Guards Last?

Quality gutter guards can protect your home for 10–20 years or even longer with the right installation and minimal maintenance. The lifespan depends on the materials used, local weather, and how well they're cared for.

At Storm Guard, we install gutter guards made from durable, weather-resistant materials designed to handle heavy rain, snow, and seasonal debris. It ensures they last for decades and keep your gutters performing their best with less cleaning and fewer repairs.

Can Emergency Tarping Be Used for Siding or Windows?

Yes! While most people think of tarping for roofs, emergency tarps can also protect damaged siding or broken windows. Any opening in your exterior can allow water, wind, or debris to enter, potentially causing further damage.

Storm Guard can quickly secure tarps over these areas to prevent additional problems. We make sure everything is tightly fastened and weather-resistant until permanent repairs can be completed, keeping your home safe and reducing the risk of more costly damage.

What Kind of Tarps Does Storm Guard Use?

Storm Guard uses heavy-duty, weather-resistant tarps to withstand rain, wind, and sun exposure. These tarps are durable, reinforced, and securely fastened to prevent shifting or blowing away during storms. They provide reliable short-term protection for roofs, siding, and windows until permanent repairs are made.

With professional installation, Storm Guard ensures your property stays safe, minimizing further water or storm damage while repairs are scheduled and completed.

How Often Should I Repaint My Home's Exterior?

Most homes benefit from repainting every 5–10 years, depending on siding material, paint quality, and local climate. Harsh sun, rain, humidity, and temperature extremes can shorten the paint's lifespan.

Storm Guard uses premium paints and professional preparation techniques to help your exterior last longer. Regular maintenance, inspections, and timely touch-ups can also extend the life of your paint, keeping your home looking fresh while protecting it from weather-related damage.

Do You Offer Color Consultation Services?

Absolutely! Choosing exterior paint colors can feel overwhelming, so Storm Guard provides professional color consultation to help you pick shades that complement your home, fit your style, and enhance curb appeal.

We can provide visual samples, guidance on coordinating with trim and roofing, and advice based on durability and fade resistance. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident in your color choice and enjoy a stunning, long-lasting finish for years to come.
