Guardian Builders is Akron's storm restoration specialist. We inspect the damage, document every detail, and work your insurance claim from first call to final shingle — so you get the full settlement you're entitled to, not the lowball offer.
I built Guardian on one idea: homeowners shouldn't have to fight their insurance company alone. After years in this industry, I'd seen too many good Buckeyes get denied or underpaid on claims they'd earned. We're here to change that — one roof, one family at a time.
"Best experience ever. Any questions I asked were answered in detail. Constant follow up throughout the entire process. Very patient while we were fighting with our mortgage company. Our roof looks amazing! I can't thank them enough."
"Very attentive and helped my husband and I understand what was going on every step of the way. The whole process was very quick and our roof looks great!"
"Very helpful and was always responsive to my calls. Job was done in a timely manner. Workers were knowledgeable and professional and clean up met our expectations."

Vincent got my claim approved after the insurance already denied it, and he got me a new roof! If anything ever happens to this roof I know who I'm going to.
Most homeowners get underpaid because they don't know what their policy covers — and insurers don't volunteer it. Our team documents everything, speaks the adjuster's language, and fights supplements until the settlement covers the full scope of your damage.
We inspect your roof, siding, gutters, and exterior — with drone photos and a written report. If there's no claim-worthy damage, we'll tell you that too.
We help you open the claim, then build a documented scope of loss using the same Xactimate software your insurance company uses.
We meet your adjuster on the roof — on your side. Every dent, crack, and lifted shingle gets pointed out and photographed so nothing is missed.
We fight supplements for anything the insurer missed, then restore your home to pre-storm condition. You pay your deductible — nothing more.*
It's not over. Most denials come down to thin documentation — not the actual damage. We re-inspect with drone photography, rebuild the scope of loss in Xactimate, and file supplements or re-evaluation requests. No other contractor in the Akron–Cleveland market leads with this. Bring us your paperwork — the second look is always free.
When storm-damaged shingles or siding can't be matched to what's already on your home, Ohio law requires your insurer to replace enough of the roof or wall to restore a reasonably comparable appearance — not just patch a mismatched spot. Most homeowners never hear this, and insurers rarely bring it up. Guardian documents the mismatch and builds the case that gets the full scope approved.
Guardian Builders documents damage and communicates scope with your insurer as your contractor. We are not a public insurance adjuster and do not negotiate or settle claims on your behalf.
Drone-documented work from Guardian Builders crews.
Verified 2026 wind and hail reports from the National Weather Service and NOAA storm spotters. These are the communities that took widespread damage — measured severe winds or 1″-plus hail across the area, not an isolated branch. If your city is here, your roof likely took a hit worth a free inspection.
See your city above? Storm damage this severe often means a covered insurance claim — and Ohio's matching rule may entitle you to more than a patch. Don't see your city? Storms don't stop at city lines — the only way to know your roof came through clean is to have someone look.
Source: NOAA / National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center spotter reports, 2026. Storm damage is frequently invisible from the ground — a free inspection is the only way to know for sure.
Enter your address and we'll pull the verified wind and hail events on record for your property, then tell you whether it's worth a closer look. No cost, no obligation.
We'll email your report — we never sell or share your information.
No cost, no obligation, and about 20 minutes. Here's exactly how it goes — so there are no surprises.
We inspect your roof, siding, gutters, and exterior with drone photography — no need for you to climb anything or even be outside. Most inspections take about 20 minutes.
We hand you an honest, photo-documented assessment of exactly what we found — every dent, crack, and lifted shingle, or confirmation that your roof came through fine.
We explain what it all means in plain English. If there's a claim worth filing, we lay out your options. If there isn't, we tell you that too — no pressure, no obligation.
Storm damage doesn't wait, and neither do claim deadlines — most policies limit how long you have to file. Get eyes on your roof today.
