"At Ohio Roofing & Restoration, we help building owners and property managers choose the right system, fix chronic leaks, and keep facilities operating safely. From shingles and metal to flat roof membranes, we match materials to your building and our Ohio climate, then install and repair them the right way."
What We Roof: Shingle, Metal, and Flat Commercial Systems
We work on shingle roofs, metal roofing including standing seam systems, and flat/low-slope roofs with proven materials
TPO Roofing
Available in white, black, and colors. White reflects heat for summer cooling, while darker options help with winter heat gain.
Color options
Energy efficient
Heat-welded seams
Long lifespan
EPDM Rubber
Time-tested and resilient. Typically black, which can help with winter heat gain in Ohio's climate.
Proven durability
Weather resistant
Easy maintenance
Torch Down Modified Bitumen
Granular surface with heat-sealed seams. A solid choice for certain low-slope applications and repairs.
Multi-layer protection
Granular surface
Heat-sealed
Strong adhesion
TPO vs EPDM vs Torch Down: What Fits Your Building
TPO roofing: Available in white, black, and colors. White reflects heat, which can lower cooling loads in summer. In Ohio, we have more heating months than cooling months, so we discuss the tradeoff. Some owners on top floors still prefer white for comfort.
EPDM rubber: Time-tested and resilient. Typically black, which can help with winter heat gain in our region.
Torch down modified bitumen: Granular surface with heat-sealed seams. A solid choice for certain low-slope applications and repairs.
Drainage, Scuppers, and Rooftop Units: Where Leaks Start
Many commercial leaks start at penetrations and water exits. If you call with a leak, you may not even know what system is on your roof—that's fine. We identify it on site.
HVAC Units & Curb Flashings
Rooftop equipment penetrations are common failure points
Drains & Scuppers
Time-tested and resilient. Typically black, which can help with winter heat gain in Ohio's climate.
Improper Pitch
Granular surface with heat-sealed seams. A solid choice for certain low-slope applications and repairs.
Fixing Ponding Water and Bad Pitch With Tapered ISO
Standing water shortens membrane life and finds its way into your building. When pitch is the problem, we design and install tapered ISO board insulation that diverts water toward drains and scuppers
Custom Layout Design
Code-Compliant Installation

Pro Tips to Extend Your Roof Life
Smart maintenance practices that protect your investment
- 1 Keep drains and scuppers clear, especially before heavy rain or snowmelt
- 2 After HVAC or plumbing work on the roof, schedule a quick inspection to check flashings
- 3 Document your roof type and age so you can get the right materials fast during an emergency
- 4 Consider color and energy tradeoffs. White reflects heat in summer, black can help in winter
- 5 Address ponding water with tapered ISO rather than patching the same spot every season
Expert Commercial Roofing for Northeast Ohio Businesses
When your building’s roof needs to perform, you need a contractor who understands commercial systems, fast response, and code‑compliant solutions. Ohio Roofing & Restoration installs and repairs commercial roofs across Akron, Canton, and Cleveland—including shingle and metal roofing, as well as flat roofing systems like TPO, EPDM rubber, and torch down. From office buildings to multi‑story facilities, we deliver durable, energy‑smart options that fit your property and budget.
Flat roofing isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. We work with TPO in white, black, and other colors to match visible roof sections and enhance curb appeal; EPDM rubber for proven durability; and torch down for granular, shingle‑like performance. While white membranes reflect heat, Ohio’s longer heating season means color choice should balance summer comfort with winter efficiency—our team will help you choose the right system for your building.
Leaks and maintenance issues are handled quickly. We diagnose problems around HVAC units and penetrations, clear and repair drains and scuppers, and correct improper slope. When needed, we’ll perform tear‑offs and install tapered ISO board insulation to meet code and direct water to drains—complete with layout drawings for precise water flow.
