Roofing in Alexandria, OH
The Village of Alexandria office is open about eleven and a half hours a week. Monday from 7:30 to 1:00, Thursday and Friday from 7:30 to 10:30, additional hours by appointment, and mail has to go to a PO Box because the street address on West Main will not reach them under postal rules.
That is not a complaint. It is the scale of the place, and it tells you what to expect from local process. Building authority here belongs to the Licking County Building Code Department, which classes shingle replacement as a minor repair. Village zoning runs through a contract inspector. Neither one is coming to look at your roof.
Alexandria has the oldest housing stock of the twenty-four towns on this site. Its median build year is 1938. Of 236 units, 156 predate 1940, which is sixty-six percent of the village, a share nothing else here approaches. Newark, the old city this site is named for, sits at twenty-eight percent.
That number changes the job. Two-thirds of these roofs sit on nominal one-by plank decking with gaps between the boards, and the shingle manufacturer's printed instructions, which Section 904.1 makes binding, sometimes require replacement or an overlay before their product may be installed. That is a conversation to have before the tear-off, not during it.
It also changes the chimneys. Pre-war masonry laid in soft lime mortar will not hold a mechanically fastened counterflashing the way modern brick does. The reglet has to be cut and the flashing set into it, and where the crown has gone the honest answer is masonry work first and roofing second.
Alexandria's storm record is the quietest we cover. One tornado has come within six miles in the entire modern record, an F1 in June 1990 at five and a half miles out. Five hail reports of any size sit within five miles. The 2.00 inch stone filed under the village name in May 2004 landed three miles north.
So when a crew turns up here quoting hail, the number that matters is five. Five reports, ever, in a village of 483 people. Most of what fails on these roofs is age, ventilation and a chimney nobody addressed, and we will put that in writing rather than filing it as storm damage.
About Alexandria, OH — and why local matters here
Alexandria sits in Licking County with a population of roughly 483, close enough to Newark that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include Raccoon Creek's headwaters, the State Route 37 junction at Alexandria.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Alexandria properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Licking County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Our roofing scope in Alexandria
Newark OH Premium Roofing covers the same range of work in Alexandria that we do in Newark — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Insurance Claim Help — Read this before you call the county; the answer is already published. The Licking County Building Code Department states in its standing letter that it will not issue project-specific or property-specific letters for individual re-roofing projects.
- Roof Replacement — A tear-off here needs no approval and gets no inspection. Licking County calls shingle replacement a minor repair under RCO 102.10.2.
- Roof Leak Repair — Most leaks we open in Newark are not shingle failures. They are terminations — a sidewall step flashing that was face-nailed, a pipe boot cracked at the collar, a valley that was closed with the last roofer's roll of plastic cement rather than metal.
- Storm Damage Restoration — Storms in central Ohio are inconvenient rather than catastrophic — a line of cells crossing the county, half a dozen streets with branches down, and a hundred roofs where something is now three degrees out of place. Sorting the real damage from the noise is the whole job.
- Hail Damage Roofing — Licking County gets hail. It does not get Front Range hail.
- Wind Damage Roofing — Wind rarely peels a Newark roof off in one piece. It lifts a course at a rake, works under a tab that never sealed, and leaves a crease you cannot see from the driveway.
