Savant Building Solutions has served Cuyahoga County homeowners for over 30 years. We inspect, repair, and replace roofs throughout Solon, from Signature of Solon to Bentleyville Village, with CertainTeed-certified crews, a 10-year labor warranty on full replacements, and free inspections.
Solon is a high-ownership community. Of its approximately 9,000 housing units, 84.8% are owner-occupied, and the median home value sits near $428,000. Homeowners here maintain their properties, but much of Solon’s residential housing stock dates to around 1980, the city’s median construction year, putting a significant share of roofs at 40-plus years old and well past the 20-to-25-year service window for standard asphalt shingles.
Solon also sits roughly 18 miles from Lake Erie, placing it in Northeast Ohio’s lake-effect snow corridors. When warm air from a home’s living space escapes through an under-ventilated attic, it heats the roof deck, melts snow at the ridge, and the runoff refreezes at the colder eaves, forming ice dams that push meltwater back under the shingles. The homes in Signature of Solon, Orchard Hills, and Solon Estates are not immune to this; the steeper pitches and larger square footage common in those subdivisions can make ventilation management more complex, not less.
Summer adds its own exposure. Hail events along the SOM Center Road and Aurora Road corridors leave granule bruising and impact damage that is often invisible from the ground but actively shortens shingle life. A free inspection tells you what’s actually happening up there.
Every job starts with a thorough visual and structural inspection. We look for missing, curled, or cracked shingles; granule loss accumulating in gutters; dark patches or moss growth; moisture indicators in the attic; and soft spots in the decking that signal underlying structural damage. For homeowners with an insurance claim in play after a wind or hail event, we document findings in a format built to support your claim from the start.
Not every issue requires a full replacement. We repair damaged flashing, isolated shingle sections, ridge caps, ventilation components, and chimney flashings. For active leaks, our team can respond within 4 hours* because water running through a roof for three days while you wait on a contractor becomes a decking, insulation, and interior drywall problem, not just a shingle problem.
When age, storm damage, or widespread failure makes replacement the right decision, we install CertainTeed Landmark Series shingles backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty. As CertainTeed Shingle Masters, the highest certification level CertainTeed offers, our installation crews meet the standard that unlocks the full warranty. Every complete replacement includes a 10-year labor warranty.
Moss, algae, and debris accumulation trap moisture against shingle surfaces and accelerate granule loss. We remove organic growth using eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning products, no pressure washing, which damages shingle structure and can void manufacturer coverage.
Solon’s housing stock runs heavily toward custom and semi-custom single-family construction, 85.2% of the city’s housing units are detached homes. The neighborhoods in Solon’s higher-value tiers carry roof profiles to match: hip configurations, multiple valleys, dormers, chimney penetrations, skylights, and steep pitches. These roofs require more than standard production-line installation techniques. Our crews have worked on the residential roof types that define Solon’s housing inventory for over 30 years.
For homeowners in Signature of Solon or Solon Estates who want to see shingle color and profile options before committing to a material order, we provide access to the CertainTeed ColorView tool, upload a photo of your home, and see exactly how different products look at full scale before anything is ordered.
Cuyahoga County sees measurable hail events most years, and Solon is no exception. Many homeowners don’t know their roof has sustained impact damage until granule loss accelerates noticeably or a water stain appears on a ceiling. Savant accepts all insurance claims and coordinates directly with your adjuster throughout the process. We’ve worked through hundreds of insurance-assisted projects in the Northeast Ohio market and document damage in a way that gives your claim the best possible footing. Our inspection is free, there is no cost to find out where you stand.
CertainTeed Landmark Series shingles, our standard specification, are available in Class 4 impact-resistance versions, the highest designation for residential asphalt shingles. In a market with recurring hail exposure, that product specification matters. We also work with Apollo roofing systems, QAO materials, Air Vent Inc. ventilation products, and Velux skylights for projects requiring broader product options.
Savant reaches Solon from our Eastlake headquarters via I-271 South, approximately 25 miles, with consistent drive times that allow same-day inspection scheduling in most cases. Our active service radius covers a 10-mile band around Solon, including Bentleyville Village on the Geauga County border (estate homes, Route 422 corridor), Glenwillow Village along Aurora Road, and Moreland Hills to Solon’s northwest.

Savant’s headquarters is at 33544 Lakeland Blvd in Eastlake, approximately 25 miles north of Solon via I-271 South. We serve all of Solon, including Signature of Solon, Orchard Hills, Solon Estates, and the adjacent villages of Bentleyville and Glenwillow, and can typically schedule free inspections within one to two business days.
Ice dams are a recurring issue in Solon. The city’s proximity to Lake Erie drives consistent lake-effect snowfall, and when attic heat escapes through a roof with inadequate ventilation, snow at the ridge melts and refreezes at the colder eaves forcing water under shingles and into the roof deck. We address both the immediate damage and the underlying ventilation deficiency so the problem does not repeat the following winter.
Savant Building Solutions is a CertainTeed Shingle Masters certified contractor, CertainTeed’s highest installer designation, and holds a BBB Rating of A+. Full replacements carry a 10-year labor warranty and a limited lifetime warranty on CertainTeed shingles.
Yes, Savant accepts all insurance claims and assists throughout the process, from inspection and damage documentation through adjuster coordination and claim settlement. There is no additional fee for this service.
Replacement cost depends on roof square footage, pitch, material selection, and the condition of the existing deck. Savant provides free written estimates for every project. Financing is available through Dollar Bank for qualified homeowners (Promo Code: 1041-3872).
Late summer through early fall is the optimal window: dry conditions allow replacement crews to complete projects efficiently before the lake-effect snow season begins.
