About Blue Ash and Montgomery
Blue Ash and Montgomery sit near I-71 and I-275, about 12 miles northeast of downtown. Both are separate cities with newer, pricier housing than the city core: the median home in 45242 was built in 1976 and is valued at $447,100 (Census ACS). This corner of the county has the worst tornado on record here, an F4 that crossed Blue Ash on April 9, 1999, and NOAA lists 24 hail days within 5 miles since 1996.

Roofs and storms in Blue Ash and Montgomery
The housing is mixed: 62% of homes in ZIP 45242 were built before 1980, but 16% went up in 2000 or later. Newer roofs may still have the builder's original shingles, and a color match on a partial repair is hard once a shingle line is discontinued.
Within 5 miles of the center of Blue Ash and Montgomery, NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 43 hail reports from 1996 to 2025 on 24 separate days, 14 of them with stones an inch or larger. The largest nearby was 2 inches near Crescentville on August 3, 2015. The latest inch-plus report in that radius came in July 2022. Damaging wind, logged on about 6.4 days a year countywide, is the more frequent cause of roof calls.

Questions
Do you take requests from all of Blue Ash and Montgomery?
Yes, across ZIP 45242. The roofer who calls back confirms your street is in their service area.
Does a roofer working in Blue Ash and Montgomery 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.
