Right Down the Road From Your Lakemore Home
There’s a real difference between a contractor who just drives through your city and one who’s part of it. We’re the second kind.
We’ve worked on lakeside homes near Springfield Lake and established village properties. That range matters, because a roof or a foundation detail on an older home isn’t handled the same way as on a new one. Two decades in Summit County means we already know what each Lakemore home needs.
Being local also means we answer fast. When a storm rolls through near Springfield Lake and the surrounding village neighborhoods, we’re already close by — not routing a crew in from another county.
What Freeze-Thaw Does to Lakemore Homes
Lakemore weather is tougher on homes than people expect, and it adds up year after year.
Lake-effect snow loads the roof for weeks. Freeze-thaw cycles work moisture into every crack, joint, and shingle seam. Summer brings hail and hard storms, and the mature tree canopy near Springfield Lake and the surrounding village neighborhoods drops debris into gutters all fall.
We build and repair with all of that in mind — deeper footings, better flashing, and materials rated for exactly these conditions. Our storm damage repair Lakemore service also steps in fast after severe weather, documenting damage and handling the insurance claim for you.
Every Exterior Job We Take On in Lakemore
Most Lakemore homeowners would rather have one team they trust than a list of separate specialists. We cover the whole home, inside and out.
Roofing
Lakemore is a small village wrapped around Springfield Lake, and a lot of its housing started as lakeside cottages that grew into year-round homes over the decades. That history leaves roofs of varied age and construction, often on modest homes near the water. As your roofing contractor in Lakemore, we work with that mix — replacements, storm repairs, straight inspections — and account for the extra moisture that comes with living close to a lake, all backed by manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
Siding
Homes near Springfield Lake carry a moisture load that inland houses don’t, and that dampness finds any gap in a wall. Our siding work — vinyl, insulated, fiber-cement — leads with flashing every window and door so water stays outside. On Lakemore’s older lakeside homes, many of them former cottages, matching the existing look while genuinely sealing the wall is the balance we’re after, and insulated options help with the drafts these older builds tend to have.
Fencing
On the tighter lakeside lots near Springfield Lake, the Village of Lakemore pays extra attention to fence placement, so we sort out the village’s requirements before building. The fence itself goes in to last through lakeside freeze-thaw: posts 32 inches down below frost, concreted so nothing leans by the next winter, in wood, vinyl, aluminum, or chain-link. Given the moisture near the lake, sealing a wood fence properly matters even more here, and we don’t cut that corner.
Gutters
Lakeside living plus mature trees means Lakemore gutters juggle both a steady leaf load and the general damp of being near the water. When they overflow, that water heads for foundations already contending with a high moisture setting. We form seamless gutters on-site, pitch them to drain, guard the shaded runs, and route downspouts to carry storm water well clear of the house.
Decks
The lakeside lots near Springfield Lake are prime deck territory and, because of the damp ground, unforgiving of shallow footings. We dig to full frost depth, flash the ledger so water never reaches the band joist, and build to take in the lake rather than fight the setting. Composite, pressure-treated, or a rehab of a deck that’s gone soft from years near the water — with the extra sealing a lakeside deck earns.
Brickwork
Lakemore’s older lakeside homes wear brick that’s weathered many winters near the water, and freeze-thaw combined with lake damp works at the mortar first. We tuckpoint failing joints before the moisture gets deeper into a wall or chimney, and we build new patios, walkways, steps, and columns, laying every joint clean and sealing it against the cycle.
Additions & Remodels
Former cottages turned year-round homes get added onto as families settle in around Springfield Lake — a proper primary suite, a lake-facing sunroom, a second story for the view. We match roofline, siding, and finishes so the addition looks original rather than tacked on, and we handle Village of Lakemore permitting, including the closer attention on tight lakeside lots. One crew carries the whole build.

What Lakemore Homeowners Ask Before Hiring
Do you offer free estimates in Lakemore?
Yes. Every inspection and estimate is completely free, done on-site, and carries no obligation. We assess the full project in person — roof, siding, gutters, or anything else — and give you clear, itemized pricing before you decide anything. There’s never a fee to have us take a look, and never any pressure to move forward afterward.
How fast can you respond after a storm in Lakemore?
Because we’re based nearby in Summit County, we don’t dispatch crews from hours away when weather hits Lakemore. Most storm inspections are booked within one to two business days, and when there’s active water coming in, we move faster to tarp and stabilize before the damage grows. We also document everything for your insurance claim.
Do you work on both older and newer Lakemore homes?
Absolutely. We’ve handled lakeside homes near Springfield Lake and established village properties. Older homes come with their own quirks — aged flashing, original framing, non-standard rooflines — and after 20-plus years working across Summit County, we’ve seen and solved all of them.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, fully. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation on every single job, protecting you and your property from the moment we arrive. We’re also A+ rated with the BBB and hold manufacturer certifications from Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
We do, from beginning to end. We inspect the roof and exterior, photograph every bit of damage, and prepare the documentation your insurer requires. Then we deal with your adjuster directly, so you’re not left decoding claims language or chasing approvals yourself.
What does an exterior project cost in Lakemore?
It depends entirely on scope — a targeted repair is a very different figure from a full replacement or a home addition. Instead of guessing, we provide free, itemized, on-site estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins. Flexible financing through Hearth is available if you’d rather spread the cost over time.
