What we know about Hinckley roofs

Census estimates from 2012 to 2016 put Hinckley Township's median year built at 1982, and about 22 percent of its homes were built in 2000 or later. The township's R-1 zoning sets a 2-acre minimum lot, so homes are spread out with plenty of open sky around them.

Hinckley is the township the buzzards come back to every March 15, a tradition residents have celebrated since 1957 at Hinckley Reservation. All those trees around the reservation and the big lots also mean branches over roofs, leaves in valleys and more shade on north slopes, where moss and algae get a head start.

On a big house with several roof planes, storm damage can sit on one slope and nowhere else. A walk around the yard won't find it. Photos of every plane will.

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

We found no National Weather Service hail report inside the township from 2024 to 2026, but storms came close on both sides. On March 31, 2026, the Weather Service received reports of 1.00 inch hail in Brunswick, Hinckley's neighbor to the northwest. On August 10, 2026, it logged 1.00 inch hail west of Montrose-Ghent, just south of the township line.

Residential building permits in Hinckley Township go through the Medina County Building Department at 791 W Smith Rd, Medina (330-722-9220). The county's residential application lists decks, remodels, additions and new homes, and roofing isn't named on it or on the fee schedule. Zoning certificates go through Hinckley Township's own zoning office. Because the written rules don't settle it, we confirm with the county whether your roof needs a permit before work starts.

About 13 miles northwest of our office, out Route 18 and up Ridge Road (Route 94).
