Parma Premium Roofing provides professional roof replacement in Parma, OH for residential and commercial properties across Cleveland's southwest suburbs. A replacement is your one chance to decide where the money on this roof goes. We put it into the deck, the flashings and the eave detail. We leave it out of membrane that will never be tested at this address.
Section 905.1.2 of the Residential Code of Ohio sets the ice barrier requirement. It wants a self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen sheet, or two layers of underlayment cemented together, starting at the bottom edge of the roof and finishing no less than twenty-four inches past the inside face of the outer wall. That distance is measured up the slope, not across the ground, which trips up more estimators than you would think.
Do the arithmetic on a real house rather than on a brochure. A five-in-twelve roof with a sixteen-inch overhang puts the code line around forty inches above the eave, so one thirty-six-inch roll and a lap of a second covers it. Steeper roofs, eight in twelve and up, get thirty-six inches off the eave edge as well. That is the requirement, and at this address it is usually also the right answer.
The quote that specifies the whole deck in ice-and-water is selling you Geauga County protection at a Parma address. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put Cleveland Hopkins, six miles west of us and at the same elevation, at 68.1 inches of snow a year. Chardon, thirty-seven miles east, normals at 109.9. Snow does not sit on a roof here long enough to earn that upgrade, and it is not a close call.
So we run the code course, add one more over an unheated garage and along a north eave that stays shaded into February, and stop there. What that saves is not a discount off the bottom line. It buys sheathing repair, new step and counterflashing at every wall, a drip edge lapped correctly at both the rake and the eave, and six fasteners a shingle instead of four.
Tear-off every time, because we want to look at what is under there before anything covers it again for another twenty-odd years. The permit is pulled before we start, the card goes in a window where the street can read it, and inspections are called twenty-four hours ahead as the work moves through its stages. You will have the sequence in writing before a truck arrives.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, kickout flashing at the foot of a roof-to-wall run, attic bypass sealing at top plates, flue chases and fixture penetrations — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Parma and nearby communities including Parma Heights, Seven Hills, Brooklyn, Broadview Heights.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof replacement
The difference between roof replacement that lasts and roof replacement that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Parma job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Cleveland's southwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Parma Chooses Parma Premium Roofing
- ✓We specify the ice barrier from the Residential Code of Ohio and the shape of your roof, not from a regional sales template written for Geauga County snowfall.
- ✓Every quote starts in the attic. If warm air is reaching your deck, no membrane we could sell you would fix the problem you actually called us about.
- ✓Deck repair is billed as boards actually replaced, counted in front of you, rather than as a padded allowance that quietly disappears if we do not need it.
- ✓We hand-seal any shingle installed onto a cold deck the same day, because an unsealed tab in November is a creased tab after the first February gust.
The standards behind roof replacement
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof replacement work we do in Parma follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every roof replacement project in Parma gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
