Concord Township sits inland from Lake Erie in Lake County, between Mentor and Painesville. Rockstar Roofing LLC, based in Ashtabula, Ohio, replaces roofs here. Three things set a Concord job apart: larger lots, newer custom homes, and township permitting instead of a city building department.
Concord Housing Stock
The 1980s-2000s subdivisions hold custom and semi-custom homes ($400K-$1M+) on 1-3 acre lots. Their roofs are large, with complex lines and multiple dormers, and premium architectural shingles are common.
The older neighborhoods are mid-century ranches and two-stories on half-acre to one-acre lots. Most get a standard architectural shingle replacement.
Custom homes built since 2010 usually carry Owens Corning Duration or designer-tier shingles. A few premium properties have standing-seam metal.
What Makes Concord Different
- Larger homes. The average Concord home is larger than the average in Mentor or Willoughby, and most replacements run 28-42 squares. More squares raise the total cost, but the installs are usually simple.
- County permits, not city permits. Mentor and Painesville run their own building departments. Concord Township uses Lake County's building services instead, so the application, the fees and the inspection scheduling all go through the county.
- Less lake-effect snow than the shoreline. Concord sits far enough from Lake Erie that lake-effect events hit it less than Eastlake or Mentor-on-the-Lake. Annual snowfall runs 30-40% lower than in the lakefront towns.
- Wooded lots. Many Concord homes sit among mature trees. The shade feeds algae that shortens shingle life, and the trees can make material delivery harder.
Concord Permit Process
Concord Township uses Lake County's building services rather than having a city building department.
Typical Concord permit details
- Cost: $100-$200 for residential roofing
- Application: through Lake County Department of Utilities or Building Department
- Turnaround: 5-10 business days
- Inspections: typically a final inspection
- Required: contractor insurance certificate, project scope, materials specifications
The county process differs a little from a city permit, but it checks the same code requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in Concord Township, Ohio?
In 2026, a standard ranch (22-28 squares) runs $11,000-$15,000, and a two-story (28-38 squares) runs $14,500-$20,000. A premium custom home (38-48 squares) runs $19,500-$28,000. Concord costs more than coastal Lake County because the homes are larger and owners expect premium materials.
My Concord home is on 2 acres. Will the crew have access issues?
A larger lot usually makes the install easier, with more room for material staging, the dumpster and work areas. The one access question is driveway length. For any driveway over 200 feet, we time the material delivery with you.
Should I upgrade to a metal roof in Concord?
Concord is a strong market for metal roofing. Most owners stay 20+ years, the larger custom homes justify the cost, and metal lasts 50+ years. The upfront cost is higher ($35,000-$70,000), but the math works for many Concord homes.
Do I need both ice and water shield and synthetic underlayment?
Yes. Ice and water shield is the waterproof membrane at the eaves and valleys. Synthetic underlayment is the waterproof layer across the rest of the deck. They do different jobs, and a quality install includes both whatever the climate exposure.
Who issues roofing permits in Concord Township?
Concord Township has no city building department, so roofing permits go through Lake County's building services. A permit costs $100-$200 and takes 5-10 business days. The county typically does a final inspection.
