What we know about Solon roofs
Solon's homes are newer than most in Cuyahoga County. Census estimates put the median year built at 1980, and about 54 percent of homes went up between 1970 and 1999. A roof on a home that age may already have a second layer. We count the layers and show you in the photos.
With that many claims at once, Solon saw plenty of out-of-town crews. Before you sign with anyone, ask whether they're registered with the city. Solon requires it.
Hail that size can crack shingles outright, not just bruise them. If your roof has not been inspected since April, it's worth a look before winter.
On the roofs our crews see here: mostly architectural asphalt shingles, 6/12 to 8/12 pitch, one layer.
On April 15, 2026, the National Weather Service confirmed 1.75 inch hail in Solon. Local news reported busted windows, punctured siding and roofs needing repair, and about 20 of the city's roughly 30 police cruisers were damaged. One local outlet reported about 1,300 home repair permits in Solon in the week after the storm.
Solon's Building Department at City Hall, 34200 Bainbridge Rd (440-349-6737), issues roofing permits. A full shingle replacement uses the city's re-roof application, with a $40.40 permit fee and a final inspection. Partial roof work needs a full residential building permit. The city's storm guidance says contractors must register, carry a bond and show insurance.
About 20 miles northeast of our office, up Route 8 and across 480.
