Penn Ohio Roofing
Roofing Contractor in Medina County, OH
Fast-growing Cleveland-Akron commuter country - Victorian Medina, postwar Brunswick, and I-71 corridor new builds.
Economic History
Medina County was Western Reserve farmland that became one of Ohio's fastest-growing suburban counties once I-71 and I-76 put Cleveland and Akron within commuting distance. Medina's Public Square was rebuilt in Victorian brick after an 1870 fire and is now a designated historic district. The A.I. Root Company, founded in Medina in 1869, made the city a world center of the beekeeping supply trade and still operates there as a candle manufacturer. Wadsworth grew on coal and matches; Brunswick grew almost entirely after 1960 as a bedroom community.
Housing Stock Across Medina County
Medina's historic core holds Victorian-era homes with steep pitches, decorative gables, and slate history near the square. Wadsworth mixes prewar in-town housing with postwar neighborhoods. Brunswick is overwhelmingly 1960s-1990s ranches, splits, and colonials - large, uniform subdivisions where tear-off and replacement is straightforward production work. Newer construction along the I-71 corridor brings steep multi-plane roofs and heavy front-gable geometry.
Permitting Norms
Ohio has no statewide residential roofing license, so requirements are set locally. Medina, Brunswick, and Wadsworth run their own building departments and typically require permits for re-roofing; the Medina County Building Department serves the townships. Historic-district work near Medina's square can carry design review.

Regional climate — Shenango Valley & the PA/OH border
This is a regional pattern, not a local one — it holds across our whole territory. Roughly 40 inches of rain and 50+ inches of snow a year, with lake-effect bands off Lake Erie in winter. Freeze-thaw is the dominant cool-season roof stressor from November through March. Summer brings straight-line wind events off the Ohio border and occasional hail from convective thunderstorm lines. What varies from town to town is which of those forces bites first on the specific roof profile that town was built for — that's what the page above covers.

Path 1 — Insurance claim
For wind, hail, or storm-driven damage. We walk the roof with your insurance adjuster and document what we find so nothing that should be covered gets missed. We are not a public adjuster — that is a separate PA license — and we do not negotiate the settlement. We document damage, meet the adjuster, and rebuild what the carrier approves to code and to manufacturer spec.
Path 2 — Retail with financing
For roofs simply reaching the end of their life. 0% interest financing on shorter terms and long-term financing that keeps monthly payments low. Runs through a lending partner and is subject to credit approval. We walk through both paths in the free in-home estimate before you sign anything. See financing details →

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Brunswick subdivisions all the same to re-roof?
- Close to it, and that works in your favor - simple gable and hip geometry, consistent pitches, and predictable material counts mean a clean one-day-per-house schedule and a tighter price.
- What about the historic homes near Medina's square?
- Different job entirely. Steep pitches, decorative gable and dormer work, and slate legacy mean hand work at every transition and possible design review on street-visible materials.
- Is hail a common problem in Medina County?
- It is the most common storm claim here. Squall lines tracking northeast across the I-71 corridor produce the bruising we inspect for most often, and we document it with dated photos for your adjuster.
- How far out is Medina County from your shop?
- Roughly 85 to 95 minutes. We schedule work here in blocks so a crew stays on site through the job rather than commuting daily.

What Our Customers Are Saying in Medina County
Penn-Ohio did good work at a very reasonable price. Other quotes were ~30% higher. Austin got us on the calendar quickly and the team replaces our roof in 6 hours.
Penn Ohio just recently replaced my roof. Removed all the old material down to bare wood, and replaced with beautiful new shingles. Cleaned up all the trash. Everything done in one day! My roof looks great. Thanks Penn Ohio!
I needed some wood and peak repairs done. Penn Ohio was quick to come and provide an estimate. Which was a very good estimate. The work was done with care and in one day. I'm very pleased with the work. They were also very easy to communicate with. I would strongly recommend.
I called Penn Ohio for a roof repair estimate on my home recently. Gary came to my home and I could tell that he cares about doing the best for the customer. He gave me a lot options to choose from and I felt very comfortable and not like he is trying to take advantage of me like other companies. 10/10 guy.
These guys were great to work with. I've dealt with contractors that want to spend two hours of my time hitting me with a PowerPoint followed by high pressure tactics to commit immediately. They offer one price if I sign today but magically
Great company to work with. Gary and his crew were great. They did a very nice job replacing the roof and gutters. The price was aggressive and the cleanup was excellent. Definitely recommend Gary and Dustin for your roofing needs
