Newark OH Premium Roofing provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Newark, OH for residential and commercial properties across Licking County. Low slope in Newark almost never means a flat commercial deck. It means a porch roof at one and a half in twelve, a shed dormer over a stair, or the back addition somebody put on a nineteen-thirties house in 1968 and roofed with whatever was on the truck.
Asphalt shingles do not belong on those planes and are on a great many of them. Below the manufacturer's minimum slope a shingle stops shedding and starts wicking, and no amount of doubled underlayment converts it. The correct products are a self-adhered modified bitumen cap sheet, a fully adhered single-ply membrane, or a standing seam pan. All three cost more per square than shingles and all three last longer on that plane than the shingles they replace.
There is a detail in the county's own letter that matters here and that nearly nobody knows. Ice barrier is required in Ohio under Table 301.2(1), but the letter carries an exception: it is not required on detached accessory structures, or on roof assemblies terminating at a vertical wall over unconditioned floor areas — an open porch or a screen porch roof. That is a real and legitimate cost saving on an unheated front porch.
The transition is where these roofs actually leak. Where a low-slope addition meets the two-story wall of the original house, you need base and cap flashing under Sections 903.2 and 905.2.8, carried up the wall a genuine height and counterflashed into the masonry rather than caulked to it. We have opened dozens of these in Newark and found a strip of aluminum face-nailed and sealed. It works for four winters.
Drainage on a shallow plane is a matter of inches. A porch roof that ponds an inch of water at the wall is either framed with a sag or has a gutter running backward, and covering it with a better membrane does not solve the problem, it just delays the failure and hides it. We shoot the slope before quoting, and if the answer is framing, we tell you the covering is not your problem.
The one thing we will not sell you is a coating over a failed shingle low-slope roof. It is the standard offer in this trade and it puts a warm impermeable layer over a wet deck. Tear it off, dry the deck, membrane it properly, and it stops being an annual expense.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ice barrier membrane at the eave, self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen underlayment, six-fastener high-wind nailing pattern, sidewall step flashing set course by course, counterflashing set into a mortar reglet, open metal valley with a hemmed edge — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Newark and nearby communities including Heath, Pataskala, Granville, Johnstown.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with ice barrier membrane at the eave, self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen underlayment, six-fastener high-wind nailing pattern, sidewall step flashing set course by course, 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 Newark 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 Licking County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Newark Chooses Newark OH Premium Roofing
- ✓Every job is photographed at bare deck, at the ice barrier line, at the fastener line and at each flashing, and the images are yours the same day.
- ✓Quotes come off the deck, not the driveway. Two-layer roofs and rotted plank sheathing surface on the first square rather than arriving later as a revision.
- ✓We publish the code sections we work to because Ohio has no roofing board and Licking County has no contractor registration to check us against.
- ✓Repair is a real product here. Where the field is sound and the failure is a termination, we say so in writing and do not return with a replacement quote.
