Horvath Roofing Inc.

John Horvath started this company in 1998, and twenty-six years later it remains a locally owned operation serving Erie, Huron, Sandusky, and Ottawa Counties along Ohio's Lake Erie shore. That longevity in a business where most contractors don't make it past year five speaks to the quality of work and customer relationships built over more than two decades. Horvath Roofing holds GAF Master Elite certification, a distinction earned by less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide. That certification requires documented training, proven installation standards, and ongoing education that most roofers never pursue. It also provides access to the best warranty programs available on GAF shingle systems. The team includes specialized roles: roofing advisors who assess properties and explain options, production supervisors who ensure installation quality, and senior technicians who handle the most demanding work. This structure means homeowners aren't getting a random crew, but experienced professionals with defined responsibilities. Northern Ohio's Lake Erie region presents unique roofing challenges. Lake-effect weather dumps snow in concentrated bands while areas miles away stay dry. The humidity and temperature swings stress shingle materials differently than inland climates. Wind off the lake exceeds what many roofing systems are rated to handle. Twenty-six years of working in this environment has taught John's team which materials and installation details matter most. Beyond standard roofing, Horvath offers gutter installation with Edgeline and Flexxpoint guards, attic insulation services, skylights, and Roof Shield protection programs. The company supports an Adopt-a-Dog program through their mascot Roofus, giving back to the community that has supported them for over a quarter century.
