About Anderson Township
Anderson Township spreads across the east end of the county between the Little Miami and Ohio rivers, about 10 miles from downtown. It is a township of owners, 74% of occupied homes, and most of the housing went up in the 1970s and later, with median build years of 1982 and 1981 (Census ACS). Many of those roofs are on their second set of shingles now. The township is outside Cincinnati, so ask the roofer what the township requires.

Questions
Do you take requests from all of Anderson Township?
Yes, across ZIP 45244, 45255. The roofer who calls back confirms your street is in their service area.
Does a roofer working in Anderson Township need a license?
Ohio does not issue a state license for roofing. The Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses five commercial trades, among them electrical and plumbing, and roofing is not one of them. Suburbs and townships outside the city set their own rules, so ask the roofer what your local building office requires.
Does the inspection cost anything?
Many roofers check storm damage without charging, but not all do. Ask when you set the visit, and ask whether you get photos and a written note either way.
