We take every measure to protect your home and property during the installation process. To minimize any impact, we provide a heavy-duty dump trailer that keeps debris contained and off your driveway and lawn, avoiding any unnecessary damage to these areas. Additionally, we carefully position durable tarps and protective shields around your home’s exterior, ensuring that your siding, windows, and landscaping remain untouched by any dust or debris from the project. Our team is trained to maintain a clean and orderly worksite, prioritizing the preservation of your property’s beauty and keeping your outdoor areas undisturbed throughout the installation. With Spartan, you can trust that we handle every detail with precision and respect for your home. 
Our comprehensive approach includes a thorough assessment of your roof’s current condition, detailed consultations to address any specific concerns, and transparent recommendations to ensure your roofing solution is tailored to your home’s unique needs.

Our approach to roofing prioritizes a strong foundation and comprehensive leak protection to ensure your roof stands the test of time. We begin by reinforcing your rafters, trusses, and decking to create a stable, nailable surface that can withstand Cleveland’s varied weather conditions, addressing any compromised areas in your existing roof structure for complete durability. For lasting leak protection, we implement a proprietary 3-step lead flashing system around vulnerable areas like chimneys, vents, and skylights. This advanced flashing method secures these points against water intrusion, effectively preventing leaks that could lead to costly damage down the line. With a solid foundation and superior leak prevention, our roofing installations provide Cleveland homeowners with unmatched durability and peace of mind. 
We believe that true peace of mind comes from knowing your roof is protected for the long haul, which is why our warranties exceed industry standards in every way. Our residential roofing system is backed by a comprehensive lifetime warranty that safeguards your investment for the entirety of your roof’s lifespan. Unlike typical warranties with limited coverage, ours encompasses both materials and workmanship, ensuring that any issues arising from defects or installation errors are promptly addressed at no additional cost to you. This commitment to quality and long-term care means that Cleveland homeowners can rely on their roof’s durability and protection against unexpected expenses for decades. We don’t just install roofs—we stand behind them for life, offering a roofing solution you can trust.
By installing GAF Pro-Starter shingles on the eaves and rakes, we ensure your roof is equipped to handle the toughest weather Northeast and Central Ohio can deliver. These specialized starter shingles provide an extra layer of defense against the wind-driven rain and ice that are common in our region, particularly during the harsh winter months and heavy spring rains. GAF Pro-Starter shingles are specifically engineered for durability, featuring adhesive strips that create a strong seal along the roof’s vulnerable edges, which helps prevent shingle blow-off and water intrusion. This added protection not only enhances your roof’s resilience against weather but also contributes to the overall lifespan of your roofing system. By choosing these top-tier starter shingles, you’re investing in a roofing system that’s built to stand up to Northeast and Central Ohio’s extreme weather, providing reliable protection and peace of mind for years to come.
