What we know about Fairlawn roofs

Census estimates put Fairlawn's median year built at 1973. About 29 percent of its homes went up in the 1960s and another 18 percent in the 1970s, so many roofs here are on their second or third round of shingles.

Morning hail is easy to miss. If you were at work on August 10, look for dents in your gutters, downspouts and mailbox, and granules collected at the bottom of the downspouts.

On the roofs our crews see here: mostly architectural asphalt shingles, 6/12 to 8/12 pitch, one layer.

The National Weather Service logged 1.00 inch hail two miles southeast of Fairlawn at 9:11 AM on August 10, 2026, from public reports. The same storm brought 1.25 inch hail west of Pigeon Creek in Medina County within minutes.

Fairlawn runs its own Zoning, Housing and Residential Building Department at 3487 S Smith Rd (330-668-9502). The city requires a permit when more than 20 percent of the roof deck is re-roofed. The fee is $70, and the permit can be issued online as soon as the application is complete.

Our office is right here in the 44333 ZIP code, less than a mile away.
