Find Out If Your Roof Is Ready for What Ohio Skies Bring
From blazing summer sun to icy winter storms, Ohio weather puts every roof to the test. The question is — can yours handle it?
At Next Day Roofing & Gutter Solutions, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly severe weather can expose a roof’s weaknesses. That’s why we help homeowners across Cincinnati, Mason, and Columbus assess, strengthen, and protect their roofing systems before the next storm hits.
If you’re unsure how your roof would hold up under high winds, hail, or heavy snow — this guide is for you.
🌪️ How Extreme Weather Impacts Your Roof
1. High Winds
Strong winds can loosen, lift, or completely remove shingles — especially on older roofs or improperly installed systems. Once a shingle lifts, rainwater can seep underneath and cause hidden leaks or structural damage.
What to look for:
- Missing or curled shingles
- Loose flashing around vents or chimneys
- Debris buildup in gutters after a storm
2. Hail & Flying Debris
Hail doesn’t have to be large to cause damage. Even small stones can bruise shingles, dislodge granules, and compromise waterproofing.
Signs of hail damage:
- Dents or dimples on shingles or flashing
- Granules collecting in gutters
- Black spots or soft patches on shingles
3. Heavy Rain & Flooding
Ohio’s spring storms can dump inches of rain in a single day. Without a well-functioning roof and gutter system, that water can back up under shingles or pool near your foundation.
Preventative measures:
- Clean gutters regularly or install GutterDome® gutter guards
- Ensure proper roof slope and drainage
- Inspect seals and flashing around vents and skylights
4. Snow, Ice, and Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Winter weather can be just as destructive as summer storms. Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes at the roof edge, trapping water beneath shingles.
To prevent damage:
- Keep gutters clear for proper drainage
- Ensure attic insulation and ventilation are balanced
- Schedule an annual winter readiness inspection
🧱 Is Your Roof Built for Ohio’s Climate?
A strong roof isn’t just about looks — it’s about materials, installation, and ongoing maintenance.
At Next Day Roofing & Gutter Solutions, we install GAF-certified roofing systems designed specifically to withstand extreme conditions. These advanced shingles feature:
- High wind resistance up to 130 mph
- Impact-rated protection against hail and debris

With proper installation and maintenance, your roof can perform like new through years of storms.
💡 How to Know If Your Roof Needs Reinforcement
Your roof might look fine from the ground, but small vulnerabilities can become major leaks after the next storm. Schedule a professional inspection if:
- Your roof is over 10 years old
- You’ve noticed missing or cracked shingles
- You see leaks, stains, or moisture spots inside your home
- You’ve recently experienced wind or hail storms in your area
Our certified inspectors will assess your roof’s condition, identify weak points, and recommend repairs or rejuvenation before damage occurs.
