A roof replacement is one of the most important upgrades a homeowner will ever make. Whether your roof has reached the end of its lifespan, suffered storm damage, or is showing signs of wear, knowing what to expect can make the process smoother and more affordable.
Stuart Conrad Roofing has been a trusted local choice in the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Eastern Indiana region for over 30 years, offering hand‑nailed craftsmanship, GAF‑certified installations, and fast, reliable service.
This guide covers everything you need to know before replacing your roof.
Do You Need a Roof Replacement? Key Signs to Look For
1. Aging or Damaged Shingles
Curling, cracking, and missing shingles indicate failing materials. Midwest temperature fluctuations speed up deterioration, making timely replacement essential.
Stuart Conrad Roofing specializes in hand‑nailing shingles, a method that provides stronger fastening and better long‑term performance compared to air‑nailing.
2. Frequent Leaks or Interior Water Stains
Leaks often point to underlying issues like damaged decking or failing underlayment, which typically require full replacement—not just repairs.
3. Your Roof Is 20+ Years Old
Even the best shingles eventually age out. Homes in the tri‑state region commonly need replacement around this timeframe due to years of weather cycles.
4. Wind or Storm Damage
Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana experience severe storms that can lift shingles, create weak spots, or expose underlayment. Fast inspections are crucial to prevent major interior damage.

Working with a certified, experienced roofer ensures a smooth, stress‑free experience from start to finish.

2. Material Selection and Warranty Options
Because the company is a GAF Certified Plus™ Contractor, homeowners get access to the GAF System Plus® warranty, a 50‑year transferable protection plan available only through certified installers.
3. Removal of Old Roofing
The team removes existing shingles, underlayment, nails, and any compromised decking. Cleanliness and property protection are top priorities.
4. Installation Using Hand‑Nailed Precision
Every shingle is installed by hand, ensuring accurate nail placement and long‑term durability. This method is rare and provides superior results in the Midwest climate.
5. Final Inspection and Jobsite Cleanup
Before leaving, the team performs a thorough inspection and cleans up all debris so your property looks spotless.
How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take?
Most residential roof replacements in the tri‑state area take one to two days, depending on size, pitch, weather, and material type.
Stuart Conrad Roofing also offers emergency services when fast response is required.
