Akron's neighborhoods were built fast, one rubber company at a time, and the roofs show it. We inspect for the housing-era failure pattern your street actually has, document what we find, and guide you through the insurance process start to finish.

He climbed onto my roof in the cold wind and placed a tarp over the leaks!
I recently replaced my roof, soffits, fascia, gutters and downspouts with Cornerstone Roofing and Siding. I could not be more happy with the entire experience. … The workers were professional, courteous, and clearly experts in their trades. The debris around my house was always cleared away at the end of each workday.
Seeing them work was like watching a well-oiled machine!
Their no-risk inspection revealed multiple pieces of wind damage to my shingles. From start-to-finish, the process was smooth, detailed and professional. The team who removed my shingles and installed the metal was amazing!
Unbelievable how well it turned out! My neighbors love it!
Just went through a fantastic transformation of a home built in 1979 with its original siding still on. … Thank you to Camen James & his whole organization for their great work & professionalism.

Northeast Ohio Project
Cornerstone Roofing and Siding
Akron was built by the rubber industry: B.F. Goodrich relocated here in 1870, Goodyear followed in 1898, Firestone in 1900, and General Tire in 1915. Akron's population grew 201.8 percent in the 1910s, the fastest-growing city in America that decade. Goodyear built the Goodyear Heights neighborhood for its workers and Firestone built Firestone Park for its. Those South Akron blocks are still filled with craftsman bungalows framed with plank sheathing, not OSB. On pre-1950 Akron homes, we inspect every plank for rot and delamination before new underlayment goes down.
Summit County has real storm history. On April 14, 2019, a confirmed EF0 tornado tracked through the Comet area with 52 to 61 knot thunderstorm winds recorded at Barberton, Ellet, and Akron Fulton International Airport (NOAA Storm Events Database). Further back, June 8, 2007 brought what the National Weather Service's Cleveland office called 'Softball Hail in Akron, OH,' with numerous tennis-ball and at least one softball-sized stone. Hail bruising on shingle mats rarely shows from the ground; it shows on ridge vents, step flashing, and downspout bands, which is what a professional inspection finds.
43% of Akron's roughly 93,700 homes were built before 1950, well above Summit County's 26%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey. Roofs that old often sit on wood board decking, so we check every board during tear-off and photograph any that need replacing before we install them. About 32,000 Akron homes date from 1939 or earlier, and the 1950s added about 15,500 more, the busiest decade since.
