Ohio does not issue a statewide license for residential roofers. In the City of Dayton, laying a new course of shingles over an existing roof does not by itself need a building permit. Replacing or repairing the wood sheathing, rafters, or trusses does. A house in a historic district may also need a Certificate of Appropriateness. Kettering and Beavercreek are not the City of Dayton. This page shows which Dayton roofers AI assistants named most often across answers RecommendRadar ran and stored, how often each appeared, and the sources those answers cited. Being named often isn't proof of workmanship, so compare written estimates.
3 snapshot runs from the last 45 days named a business. This page is indexed after 3 such runs. Names that differ by case, punctuation, a leading The, a practice suffix, or a shortened firm name are combined.

FAQ
Does Dayton require a permit for every reroof?
No. A new layer of shingles alone does not need a building permit. Opening or replacing sheathing, rafters, or trusses does. Two or more existing layers have to come off before a new covering goes on.
Is Kettering the same permit office as Dayton?
No. Kettering and Beavercreek are separate cities. A Dayton answer does not settle their permit rules.
