Your roof takes on more damage than any other part of your home. Sun, wind, hail, and heavy rain take a toll on your shingles year after year, and once that protection fails, the rest of your house is exposed. When your roof is on the line, you need a crew that installs shingles correctly, and that’s exactly what we do at Titan Siding and Roofing. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we specialize in roof shingles installation for homes throughout Greater Cincinnati and have earned the trust of homeowners by installing roofs that last. From your first call to the final inspection, you’re working with our small, family-owned team and talking directly with an owner who cares about getting it right the first time.
How Our Roof Shingles Installation Process Works
Installing a new shingle roof isn’t just laying down new material over what’s already there. It’s a full process that protects your home for decades when it’s done correctly. Here’s how we approach every project, step by step.
1. In-Depth Survey and Inspection
Before any work begins, one of our team members inspects your existing roof and the surrounding structure. We look for hidden issues like soft decking, damaged flashing, or ventilation problems that might not be obvious from the ground.
2. Work Area Preparation
Next, we protect your property. That means covering landscaping, moving lawn furniture, and shielding decks or walkways near the work zone. A new shingle roof creates a lot of debris, and we take the time to keep it contained.
3. Tear-Off and Pre-Installation Assessment
Our crew removes your old shingles down to the decking. This step matters more than most homeowners realize because it’s the only way to catch rotten or damaged wood underneath. Any compromised decking gets repaired before a single new shingle goes down.
4. Underlayment and Flashing Installation
We install new underlayment and replace metal flashing, including drip edges and gutter aprons, on most every project. Skipping this step is one of the most common causes of leaks down the road, even on a roof with brand-new shingles.
5. Shingle Installation
Now the new shingles go on, starting with starter strips along the edges to prevent wind uplift. Our crew follows manufacturer-specified nailing patterns and proper overlap and exposure for every course. This precision is what keeps your new roof performing well for its full lifespan instead of failing early.
6. Clean-Up and Final Walk-Through
Once installation is finished, we clean the entire work area, including a pass with a nail magnet across your yard and driveway. We finish with a walk-through so you understand your warranty, billing, and any maintenance tips specific to your new roof.
We also handle siding, seamless gutters, window replacement, and storm restoration, so if your project involves more than just your roof, we can take care of it all under one contract.
Shingle Types We Install
- Architectural (dimensional) shingles: They add depth, texture, and improved durability, and they tend to boost curb appeal more than a flat three-tab profile.
- Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles: They are built for storm-prone areas and hold up better against hail than standard options, which makes them a smart choice for many of our Cincinnati customers.
Benefits of a New Shingle Roof
A new shingle roof is a major investment, and it pays you back in ways that go well beyond a fresh look overhead. Here’s why professional installation makes the difference:
- Improved Curb Appeal: Your roof covers a large portion of your home’s exterior, so it has an outsized impact on first impressions. New shingles in a modern color and style can completely change how your home looks from the street, even if nothing else changes.
- Better Energy Efficiency: Older shingles lose their reflective granule coating over time, allowing more heat to transfer into your attic. New shingles combined with proper attic ventilation help regulate indoor temperatures, which can lower your heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
- Stronger Weather Protection: Ohio weather doesn’t hold back. New shingles rated for high wind resistance and impact resistance stand up better against hail, heavy rain, and the wind gusts that come with severe storms, reducing the odds of costly damage later.
- Enhanced Home Value: A new roof consistently ranks among the top features buyers look for during a home sale. Since an aging roof often raises red flags during inspections, a recently installed shingle roof can strengthen your negotiating position and boost your resale value.
- Fewer Repairs Over Time: New shingles, paired with new flashing and underlayment, address the small vulnerabilities that lead to leaks. This means fewer surprise repair calls in the years after installation, saving both money and hassle.
- Long-Term Peace of Mind: Once your new roof is in place, you gain the confidence that your home is properly protected against the elements. That peace of mind is one of the most valuable, if least visible, benefits of professional roof installation.
What Affects the Cost of Your New Roof
No two roofs cost the same to replace. Several factors go into every estimate we provide, and understanding them helps you budget for your project with confidence.
Roof Size and Pitch
The square footage of your roof is the biggest factor in your final price. A steeper pitch also adds cost, since it takes longer to work safely and requires more material to cover the same footprint as a flatter roof.
Shingle Material and Style
Standard three-tab shingles cost less upfront than architectural shingles, which offer more dimension, better wind resistance, and a longer lifespan. The Owens Corning product line you choose will affect your total investment.
Condition of the Decking
During tear-off, our crew checks the decking underneath your old shingles for rot or water damage. Any sections that need to be replaced are added to the project, which is why a thorough inspection upfront matters so much for an accurate estimate.
Flashing and Underlayment
We replace flashing, including drip edges and gutter aprons, and install new underlayment on every project we complete. This is built into our pricing from the start rather than treated as a surprise charge partway through the job.
Roof Complexity
Roofs with multiple valleys, chimneys, skylights, or dormers take more time and labor than a simple, single-slope roof, which affects the overall cost.
Our Financing Options
We understand that a new shingle roof is a significant expense, and paying the full amount upfront isn’t always realistic. That’s why we partner directly with Kemba Financing to give homeowners flexible payment plans built around real life, not just a sales quote. Kemba’s financing includes an introductory period with no interest, no back interest charges, and a low rate once that introductory period ends. This structure means you can move forward now, protect your home right away, and pay it off over time in a way that fits your budget.
The application process is simple. Once you receive an estimate from one of our HAAG Certified roofers, you can apply directly through Kemba’s online portal. Most applications are processed quickly, so you’ll know your approval amount, repayment terms, and interest details before work begins. Whether you’re dealing with an aging roof or storm damage that needs immediate attention, financing helps ensure cost never stands in the way of protecting your home.
