Ohio's housing stock by age and ownership
Ohio's distinguishing roofing fact is the age of its homes. Table B25034 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) shows 63.4% of Ohio housing units built before 1980, and 1,005,529 units built in 1939 or earlier. Another 692,308 units date from the 1950s, 620,137 from the 1960s and 740,254 from the 1970s.
The median Ohio home was built in 1970, according to table B25035 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024). Ownership is measured in table B25003: 3,267,904 of Ohio's 4,863,191 occupied housing units were owner-occupied in the same 2020-2024 estimates, and those owners are the people who can sign for a new roof.
Newer construction is a small part of the Ohio stock. The same table B25034 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) counts 297,207 units built from 2010 to 2019 and 60,404 built in 2020 or later, against more than a million built before 1940.
Ohio hail in 2025 and storm declarations since 2023
The NOAA Storm Events 2025 details file has 176 Ohio records with event type Hail, which puts Ohio 18th of the 50 states in that file.
Two Ohio major disasters meet this page's FEMA count for January 1, 2023 through October 7, 2026, per FEMA's Disaster Declarations Summaries. DR-4777, declared May 2, 2024, covers tornadoes. DR-4945, declared October 2, 2026, covers severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, flooding and landslides.
About the counts: every hail record stands for one county or forecast zone on one 2025 date, so a single storm can add several records. A declaration is counted a single time if FEMA's incident type is severe storm, tornado or hurricane, or if its title names one of those; severe winter storm titles alone do not qualify.
Ohio contractor rules for roofing buyers
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Roofing does not appear among the trades Ohio's state contractor board licenses. The Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board lists five on its examination application (form dated September 2025): electrical, HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing and hydronics, each for contractors who perform commercial work.
On residential jobs, the board's own complaint form (revision 3/2020) says it may not have authority over residential contractors and refers workmanship and code compliance complaints to the local building department or to the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Section. Roofing buyers can check each city's contractor registration and roof permit rules before routing jobs there. The Home Solicitation Sales Act cancellation right is on leads in Ohio.

- Homeowner status: only owners sign, and the owner count above sets the reach.

- Insurance claim status: filed, planned or none, recorded at intake for storm jobs.
