Metal Roofing
A metal roof delivers 40 to 70 years of service life with outstanding resistance to Ohio hail and wind. Ask if metal is right for your property.
Window Replacement
Energy-efficient replacement windows that stand up to Ohio winters and cut heating and cooling loss. A natural pairing with roofing, siding, and gutter work when you are protecting the whole exterior.
Gutter Installation & Repair in Mentor, OH
In a lake-effect snow belt like Mentor, your gutters do more than move rainwater. They carry the snowmelt and ice runoff that Northeast Ohio winters produce, and when they clog, sag, or pull away, that water backs up under your shingles and into your fascia. Failing gutters are one of the most common causes of the ice dam damage we get called out for.
Walker Roofing & Construction installs, repairs, and replaces gutter systems sized for Mentor’s rainfall and winter load, so your roof and foundation stay protected year-round. We also install gutter guards to keep leaves and debris from causing the backups that lead to ice dams.
Siding Installation & Repair in Mentor, OH
Siding takes the same beating your roof does. Mentor’s freeze-thaw swings, lake-effect moisture, and wind-driven storms work at seams and panels until you get warping, cracking, and moisture getting in behind the wall. Worn or damaged siding does not just look tired; it lets Northeast Ohio weather reach the structure underneath.
Walker Roofing & Construction installs and repairs siding built to handle Ohio’s climate, protecting your home and sharpening its curb appeal at the same time. Because we handle roofing, gutters, and siding together, your whole exterior is sealed and weather-tight by one local crew.
Rounding out the exterior, we also handle door installation to keep every entry point sealed against the elements.

What Should You Look for in a Roofing Company?
Your roof protects one of your largest investments, and the contractor you choose has a direct effect on how long it lasts, what your warranty actually covers, and what repairs cost you down the road. Before you compare estimates, weigh these:
- Licensing and insurance: Confirms the contractor is legitimate and that you are not liable if something goes wrong on the job.
- Manufacturer certifications: Credentials like CertainTeed Master Shingle Installer mean the crew installs to spec and can offer enhanced warranties non-certified contractors cannot.
- Workmanship and material warranties: Ask how long the labor is guaranteed, not just the shingles. A 1- to 2-year workmanship warranty is common, so anything longer tells you something about their confidence.
- Local project experience: A contractor who works on Mentor and Lake County roofs knows how lake-effect snow, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles actually behave here.
- Storm and insurance claim expertise: After hail or wind, you want someone who can document damage and work directly with your insurer.
- Financing options: A roof is a major expense, so flexible payment options make protecting your home now more realistic.
- Reviews and reputation: Look for consistent, recent feedback from real local customers.
- Communication and responsiveness: The company that answers the phone before the sale is the one that answers it after.
Walker Roofing & Construction meets every one of these standards for Mentor property owners, from licensing and CertainTeed certification to a 10-year workmanship guarantee and direct insurance claim support.
