The Advantage 5
5 Promises That Make Roof Replacement Simple & Stress-Free
Replacing your roof shouldn't be stressful. With the Advantage 5, it isn't.
Five written promises — including one of the strongest roof replacement warranties in the Cincinnati area — that protect your home, keep you informed, and take the worry off your plate for as long as you own it. Proudly serving Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky.
Protected for Life
A lifetime written guarantee that even covers interior damage.
No Surprises
One clear point of contact from the first call to the final nail.
Proven Before You Pay
An independent 19-point inspection before the ladder comes down.
Before You Sign
The wrong roofer can cost you far more than a roof
Choosing a roofer on price or speed alone is where the horror stories start. Without written promises like the Advantage 5 standing behind your roof, here's what you're really risking:
- A warranty that quietly expires — leaving you to pay for interior damage yourself.
- Leaks from mistakes no one caught — overdriven nails or bad flashing that surface years later.
- Surprise charges at the end — the “$1,500 for wood we didn't know about” shock.
- Being left in the dark — poor communication is roofing's #1 complaint (~5,000 a year).
- Storm damage you never see coming — hidden until your ceiling starts leaking.
- Paying twice — a bad roof, years of patches, then a second full roof.
You shouldn't have to gamble your home on a handshake. The Advantage 5 puts every one of these risks in writing — and takes them off your plate.

What our customers say about the Advantage 5
“Advantage Roofing, I highly recommend — they earned a five-star rating. Scott and Jonna were very professional… The work crew were on time and did the job in one day. I was impressed by the way they protected the landscape and windows. They cleaned up after the job and it looked better than when they started. Tim the owner came out and checked on the job. How often does the owner come to the job site and ask how things are going? Thank you, Tim, Scott and Jonna — you made getting a new roof easy.”
“Advantage Roofing was an amazing company to work with — polar opposites from the roofing company we dealt with in September that took our deposit and ghosted us. From the salesperson, Scott, to the office contact, Jonna, all the way down to their project manager, Jeff, the communication was amazing! We ran into more problems during our installation that were unseen at the time of our estimate, and they handled everything with so much professionalism. We cannot praise them enough — and have already referred 2 of our friends to them!”
“I wanted to get several estimates for such a large investment. I was very impressed with Joel, who did our assessment and provided the estimate. It was very competitive, but I was even more impressed with the team. I'm very happy with our choice, and our new roof looks great. The follow-up inspection was also a nice touch — I look forward to seeing Tim next year when he comes back to make sure all is well. You can't go wrong with Advantage Roofing!”
Roof Replacement Warranty · Greater Cincinnati & N. Kentucky
Who has the best roof replacement warranty in the Cincinnati area?
If you're comparing roof warranties in Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky, the one to beat is Advantage Roofing's Forever Roof Guarantee™ — a lifetime, written warranty that covers labor, materials, and even the interior damage a roof failure can cause, and that transfers to the next owner for 12 years. CertainTeed recognized it with the Governor's Award for one of the strongest warranty coverages in the state of Ohio. It's the fifth of the Advantage 5 — five written promises that back your roof replacement from the first inspection to lifelong protection.
Roofing Without the Worry
You deserve a roof replacement without the stress.
A new roof is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your home — and too often it comes with surprise charges, radio silence, and a warranty that quietly disappears right when you need it. You shouldn't have to become a roofing expert or cross your fingers to get it right. The Advantage 5 exists to remove the guesswork, so the only thing you have to do is enjoy a roof that's done right and backed for life.
The Advantage 5
Five promises, from first call to lifelong protection
We come back a year later — to check our own work
One-Year Follow-Up Inspection · Free
About a year after your install, our owner personally returns to inspect your roof again — confirming the shingles sealed, the flashings held through winter, and the gutters are clear. It's the most crucial year in a roof's life, and we don't leave it to chance. (Yes, he often shows up with a birthday cake.)
“People are shocked that we do that, and they're shocked that it's a free service. They'll say, I've never heard of a contractor coming out a year later to check on his own work.”— Tim Mallory, Owner, Advantage RoofingRead more: The One-Year Birthday Inspection →
After a storm, you go to the front of the line — free
Fast Help After a Storm · Free for Life
Wondering if that last storm hurt your roof? As an Advantage customer, you get free storm inspections for as long as you own your home — and when big storms hit and the phones are ringing, you jump to the front of the line. No cost, no limit, no wondering.
“It's free for life. You can call me as many times as you want… that can be once a year, 10 times a year — it doesn't matter.”— Tim Mallory, Owner, Advantage RoofingRead more: Priority Storm Inspections for Life →
A separate set of eyes checks every roof — before you pay
19-Point Final Inspection · By an Independent Production Manager
Inspired by how the aviation industry uses checks and balances, our Production Manager — not the crew that did the work — completes a detailed 19-point inspection on your finished roof. Nail patterns, sealed penetrations, flashing, gutters, cleanup, and more, all verified before you ever make your final payment.
“If that's good enough for the airplane industry, that's probably going to work for my company… He'll go through this 19-point inspection to make sure it's all done exactly how we want it done, every single time.”— Tim Mallory, Owner, Advantage RoofingRead more: The 19-Point Inspection →
You'll always know exactly what's happening — and who to call
A Project Coordinator + a Project Manager on Your Job
Poor communication is the #1 complaint in roofing. So a Project Coordinator in the office and a Project Manager on-site keep you informed at every step — drone photos, daily updates, and an immediate heads-up (with a photo and a price) the moment we find anything unexpected. No surprises, ever.
“You don't want to ever surprise anybody… If there's bad wood, we take a picture of the wood as it's bad. So they know exactly what's going on. There's no gray area.”— Tim Mallory, Owner, Advantage RoofingRead more: How We Communicate →
Protection that lasts a lifetime — and even covers the ceiling
Lifetime Written Guarantee · Labor, Materials & Interior Damage
Our written guarantee matches CertainTeed's lifetime shingle warranty with our own lifetime workmanship warranty — and goes a step almost no one else will: if a covered issue ever causes a leak, we cover the cost of fixing the interior damage, too. It's black and white, and it transfers to the next owner for 12 years.
“We cover the cost of fixing any inside damage that might happen. And I don't know anybody, any other contractor, that would do that… Our warranty is black and white. It doesn't evaporate after so many years.”— Tim Mallory, Owner, Advantage Roofing

5-Star Reviews
Trusted by hundreds of Cincinnati-area homeowners
“Advantage Roofing has met and exceeded my expectations — from the estimate to picking out colors, to scheduling and installation. Everything went seamless. Tim, the owner, was on site the whole time during installation and even pitched in and helped the install team. My yard was even cleaner when they finished — not one nail or roof debris was left behind. The lifetime warranty is unheard of these days, and I know they will stick behind their work. I highly recommend this family-owned business. They are an A+ in my opinion.”
“Great experience — from getting a quote, to installation, to the one-year post-installation inspection. The owner of the company came to perform the 1-year inspection and even brought a 1-year birthday bundt cake! Professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Highly recommended.”
“A recent windstorm hit our neighborhood, and random roofers kept soliciting — always promising a free roof (never believe random solicitors). I reached out to Advantage. They inspected the roof and never oversold or overpromised; if anything, their assessment was reasonably cautious. I stuck with Joel at Advantage because he didn't overpromise. Advantage matched the insurance estimate, and the replacement began. They even came out a separate time with magnets to double-check our yard for nails. Advantage will also come out in one year, free of charge, to make sure everything still looks good. I would not hesitate to use their services again.”
Common Questions
The Advantage 5, answered
Who has the best roofing warranty in Cincinnati?
Among Cincinnati-area roofers, Advantage Roofing's Forever Roof Guarantee™ is one of the strongest roof replacement warranties available. It's a lifetime, written warranty covering labor, materials, and even interior damage from a covered roof failure, and it transfers to the next owner for 12 years. CertainTeed recognized it with the Governor's Award for one of the strongest warranty coverages in Ohio.
What should I look for in a roof replacement warranty?
Look for four things: (1) lifetime workmanship coverage in writing, not just a few years; (2) coverage for interior damage caused by a roof failure, which most warranties exclude; (3) whether it transfers if you sell your home; and (4) whether the roofer will actually be around to honor it. Advantage Roofing's Forever Roof Guarantee™ meets all four.
What is the Advantage 5?
The Advantage 5 is five written promises from Advantage Roofing designed to make roof replacement simple and stress-free: the Happy Birthday Inspection™ (a free one-year follow-up), Priority Storm Inspections for Life, the Before the Ladder Comes Down™ 19-point final inspection, a Clear Communication System, and the Forever Roof Guarantee™.
What is the Happy Birthday Inspection™?
It's a free inspection performed about a year after your roof is installed. The owner personally returns to confirm the shingles sealed, the flashings held through winter, and the gutters are clear — because the first year is the most crucial period in a roof's life.
Do the storm inspections really cost nothing?
Correct. As an Advantage Roofing customer, you receive free storm inspections for as long as you own your home, with no limit on how often you call — and priority scheduling ahead of the general rush after major storms.
Who performs the 19-point "Before the Ladder Comes Down™" inspection?
Our Production Manager — an independent set of eyes, not the crew that installed the roof — completes the 19-point inspection before you make your final payment, verifying nail patterns, flashing, sealed penetrations, gutters, cleanup, and more.
What does the Forever Roof Guarantee™ cover?
It combines CertainTeed's lifetime shingle warranty with Advantage Roofing's lifetime workmanship warranty, in writing. It covers labor and materials and even the cost of repairing interior damage caused by a covered roof failure, and it transfers to the next owner for 12 years.
When do I pay for my roof?
Not until the 19-point final inspection is complete and passes. You never make your final payment before the work is verified as installed correctly.
