Alexandria is a small Licking County village in central Ohio, fewer than 500 residents in the 2020 Census, built around farmsteads and older single-family homes northwest of Granville. Roofs here take a beating. About 22 inches of snow a year, 43.6 inches of total precipitation, and a humid continental Dfa climate that swings from sub-freezing January nights to 85-plus degree July afternoons. Freeze-thaw cycles crack sealant and lift shingle tabs. Spring and summer thunderstorms drive most of the homeowner insurance claims in Ohio, around 40% of all losses (III).
SkyeVantage coordinates asphalt shingle roof replacements in Alexandria end to end. Materials at wholesale cost. Synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys to meet the 2024 Ohio Residential Code, drip edge, ridge cap, and the right ventilation so the shingles you paid for actually last 25-plus years. A Preferred Roofing Network crew handles the tear-off and install. Axium inspects.
One flat fee covers the coordination, the labor, the materials setup, and the dumpster. Everything else is at cost. You see the receipt.
Alexandria has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa), typical of central Ohio. NOAA climate normals for the Licking County area:
- Annual snowfall: ~22 inches. Ice damming risk on north-facing eaves through December to March.
- Winter temps: January lows in the low 20s°F. Freeze-thaw cycles repeatedly stress sealants, flashings, and shingle adhesion.
- Summer temps: July highs in the mid 80s°F with regular 90-degree days. UV exposure on south and west slopes accelerates granule loss.
- Annual precipitation: 43.6 inches of rain. Water management at valleys, step flashings, and chimney saddles is non-negotiable.
- Severe weather window: Spring through early fall. Wind, hail, and severe thunderstorms drive most of OH’s homeowner claims.
