What do you need help with?

What do you need help with?

The Exterior Desk matches Solon homeowners with one local contractor for roofing, siding, gutters, windows, or gutter cleaning when we have someone who covers your area. Free for homeowners. We do not do the work.

01

Weather and common wear

Solon sits in southeastern Cuyahoga County, inland of the lake and on the edge of heavier lake-effect influence that is more typical of eastern suburbs and Lake County. Freeze-thaw, ice at the eaves, and occasional wind or hail are the everyday wear. After winter, check from the ground for granule loss, soffit stains, and loose gutters.

02

Housing stock

The city has a smaller older village core and a large area of later suburban and wooded lots, including many late-20th-century houses. HOA or subdivision rules may affect visible materials in some neighborhoods. Lot sizes and tree cover often mean longer gutter runs and more debris than on a tight Lakewood lot.

03

Permits and registration

The City of Solon has its own building department, separate from Cleveland, Beachwood, or a neighboring township. Ask whether a contractor is registered to work in Solon and whether your project needs a permit. Ohio has no statewide residential roofer license. We do not pull Solon permits.

04

How to request a match

Request a recommendation with a Solon ZIP and a short description. If we have a partner who covers that part of southeastern Cuyahoga County, we will recommend one.
