Franklin Furnace sits right along the Ohio River, and river valley weather is hard on shingles. Humid summers hold moisture against the north slopes, winter runs through freeze-thaw cycles that lift nails and crack old sealant, and spring storms come up the valley with wind and hail. Hoover Housing Solutions repairs and replaces roofs in Franklin Furnace and the rest of Scioto County. Call (740) 357-9020 for a free on-site look.
What a roof costs in Franklin Furnace
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in this area run $6,000 to $14,000, or roughly $400 to $600 per square installed. Metal roofs typically run $12,000 to $30,000 and up depending on standing seam or exposed fastener. Tear-off instead of a layover adds about $1,000 to $2,500. Small repairs like flashing, a pipe boot, or a wind-lifted section usually land in the low hundreds. You get a firm written number after we measure the roof, not a phone guess.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most Franklin Furnace houses are a one to two day job. Steep pitch, multiple layers to tear off, or bad decking can push it to three.
Do I need a permit in Scioto County?
A straight re-roof on a single family home in unincorporated Scioto County usually does not need one. Structural changes or additions do. We check before we start and pull the permit if it is required.
Can you repair instead of replace?
Yes. If the shingles still have life and the problem is isolated to flashing, a valley, or one slope, we repair it and tell you roughly how many years you have left.
Will insurance cover storm damage?
Often, if wind or hail caused it. We document the damage with photos and measurements and work with your adjuster. We do not promise an outcome your carrier has not approved.
How does valley humidity affect shingles?
Damp shaded slopes grow algae streaks and hold moisture in the deck. Proper attic ventilation and algae-resistant shingles are the fix, and both get quoted up front.
