BBB Torch Award Winner For Ethics
Recognized for honesty, integrity and trust.
Lake Erie's lake-effect snow is the defining roofing challenge in Cleveland: heavy, wet snow that piles up fast and melts unevenly, setting up ice dams right at the eaves. Winter after winter of that cycle is hard on a roof that isn't built specifically for it.

John Beal Roofing serves Cleveland and Cuyahoga County — Lakewood, Parma, Euclid, Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, Strongsville, Westlake and Rocky River. Family-owned, lifetime warranty on every roof, and crews who have worked a lot of snow.
Lake Erie hands this city a winter most of the country does not have to plan for. Lake-effect snow sits on a roof for weeks instead of days. Heat escaping through a poorly insulated attic melts the underside of that snowpack, the meltwater runs down to the cold overhang, and it refreezes into a ridge of ice at the eave. Everything draining behind that ridge has nowhere to go but sideways, under the shingles and into the roof deck. Homeowners blame the shingles. The shingles are almost never the problem — the attic is.
An ice dam is a ventilation and insulation failure that happens to show up as a roof leak. If nobody corrects the airflow, a brand new roof will dam up exactly the same way the old one did, and you will have paid full price to reproduce the problem. Our inspection includes the attic: intake at the soffit, exhaust at the ridge, insulation depth, and whether the bath fans are actually vented outside instead of into the rafters. That is where the real answer usually is.
Much of Cuyahoga County was built before 1960, and the housing here reflects it — steeper pitches, deeper overhangs, framing sized for a different era, and a lot of roofs carrying more decking repairs than anyone bothered to write down. Add a wet lake-effect snow load on top and the margin for a shortcut disappears. This is not a market where a fast tear-off and a nail gun gets you a thirty-year roof.
Every roof we install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, and we hold the BBB Torch Award for Ethics. Cleveland has no shortage of roofers who appear after a storm and are unreachable by the following winter. We have been a family-owned company across the Midwest for decades, and the point of the warranty is that there is still somebody answering when you need to use it.
Yes — Cleveland proper plus Lakewood, Parma, Euclid, Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, Strongsville, Westlake and Rocky River.
Ice dams come from heat escaping into the attic and melting snow that refreezes at the cold eave. A new roof alone will not fix it. Correcting attic insulation and ventilation is what stops it, and we inspect both.
Often yes, depending on the policy and the cause. Sudden water damage from an ice dam is commonly covered while long-term wear is not, so documenting it early matters. We photograph the damage and work the claim with you.
Most asphalt shingle replacements here fall between $11,000 and $17,000, driven by pitch, size, layers, and any decking that has to be replaced. The price is in writing before we start.
Cleveland roofs deal with Lake Erie all year. Lake-effect snow piles up on the east side and in the snowbelt suburbs, and heavy, wet snow sitting on a roof for weeks turns any ventilation problem into ice dams and leaks at the eaves. Wind off the lake hammers lakefront homes in Lakewood, Euclid and Bay Village.
Spring and summer bring their own storm lines with hail and straight-line winds, and the constant freeze-thaw cycling from November to April is hard on flashing, pipe boots and older shingles.
We serve Cuyahoga County and the surrounding Lake, Geauga, Lorain, Medina and Summit county communities.
Cleveland has a deep stock of century homes — Cleveland doubles, colonials and bungalows — many with multiple layers, steep pitches and old plank decking. The postwar suburbs add brick ranches and split-levels with low pitches where ice dams are common.
Every Cleveland replacement gets a full tear-off, decking repair, extra ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys for lake-effect snow, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and a balanced attic ventilation system. Certified installation, lifetime warranty.
Ice-dam leaks at the eaves, chimney flashing failures, cracked pipe boots and wind-torn shingles are the most common Cleveland repairs. If your roof has life left, we repair it.
After a storm, we inspect and photograph the roof and exterior so you know whether you have an insurance claim.
Cleveland roof prices depend on roof size and pitch, how many layers come off, decking repairs, ice and water protection, flashing and the shingle you choose. Two-family homes and steep century homes take more labor than a simple ranch.

Yes. We roof single-family homes, Cleveland doubles and small multi-family buildings across Greater Cleveland.
With summer hail and wind off Lake Erie hitting Cleveland roofs, we see plenty of homeowners in Lakewood, Parma, Westlake and North Olmsted whose roofs clearly took storm damage, but whose insurance claims came back low or denied. A denial letter is not always the final word.
