Ohio Economic Roofing Customer Reviews
Matthew Stinson
Ohio Economic Roofing recently completed a full replacement of my roof. They managed my claim with my insurance company and I’m grateful for it because the insurance company kept denying my claim when there was clearly hail and wind damage. Ohio Economic Roofing was able to get my insurance company to commit to the cost of a full roof replacement. In addition, Ohio Economic Roofing’s price was fair and comparable to the going market rate. I’m very satisfied with the quality and would recommend them to anyone needing claim support and/or a roof replacement.
