Roofing in Hanover, OH
Hanover is the exception on this entire site, and the county's own paperwork says so. On the Licking County Areas of Jurisdiction sheet dated 18 November 2024, the county appears in the commercial column for Hanover only as of 1 January 2025. The residential column does not name the county at all. It points back to the village office at 740-763-3800.
That is the reverse of every other Licking County village we serve, where the county holds both columns. If you live here and want to know who has residential code authority over your house, the honest answer is that the sheet sends you to the village, and the village runs zoning through an inspector rather than a building department.
Hanover Township, immediately around the village, is one of six unzoned townships in Licking County, alongside Eden, Fallsbury, Hopewell, Mary Ann and Perry. On unzoned ground there is no zoning inspector to visit before work starts, and the county directs those projects to the Licking County Health Department instead.
None of which changes what the Residential Code of Ohio requires of your roof. Chapters 8 and 9 govern underlayment type, the ice barrier at the eaves, fastener count, valley and sidewall flashing, sheathing and attic ventilation whether or not a single official ever looks at the job. The obligation survives the absence of an inspector.
The village is also building, quietly. Of 483 units, 64 went up in the 2010s and 35 in 2020 or later, so twenty percent of Hanover's housing is younger than fifteen years. Median build year is 1973, and 389 of 461 occupied units heat with gas, the highest gas share of any small village on this list.
The gorge weather is real. On 20 April 2011 an EF1 destroyed a mobile home on Brushy Fork Road, rolling it over and stripping the roof and one lengthwise side into the trees, with roof damage recorded at a residence across the road. On 5 June 2024 a second brief tornado hit near Lesley and Claylick Roads.
Hail is another matter. Nothing above 1.50 inches has ever been verified within five miles of Hanover, and a wind report filed under the village name in July 2003 actually sits in western Ohio. Ask any storm crew working your street which dated record they are relying on before you sign anything.
About Hanover, OH — and why local matters here
Hanover sits in Licking County with a population of roughly 1,270, close enough to Newark that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve, the Toboso road along the Licking.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Hanover 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.

What we take on in Hanover
Newark OH Premium Roofing covers the same range of work in Hanover that we do in Newark — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Roof Coatings & Sealing — This service exists on the list because people ask for it, and about half the time our answer is no. Coatings are an excellent product in a narrow band of applications, and the band does not include the roof most callers are describing.
- Attic Ventilation — This is the requirement that Newark roofs break most often. Section 806 requires enclosed attics and rafter spaces to be cross ventilated, and the letter states plainly that ventilation must be provided on a shingle replacement even if it did not exist before.
- Skylights & Sun Tunnels — Skylights are the most common source of a genuine leak on a Newark roof, and the most common thing we advise against adding. Both are true for one reason: they are a hole in the plane, and a hole in the plane is only as good as its flashing kit.
- Fascia & Soffit — Fascia and soffit are sold as cosmetic work and they are not. Soffit carries the intake side of the attic ventilation system, and on Newark's older housing that side is routinely destroyed by the improvement meant to help it.
- Chimney & Wall Flashing — More water enters Newark houses at a chimney than at any other single detail. The city's older stock is full of brick stacks, many of them unlined and unused since a furnace conversion, and almost all of them flashed at some point by somebody with a caulk gun.
- Commercial Roofing — This is the page where the argument reverses. The Building Code Department's guidance letter about shingle replacement is residential guidance.
