Official Mentor permit resourceDemore Exterior Solutions is a Mentor-based exterior contractor serving Lake County homeowners with roofing, siding, gutters, and storm damage work. Our headquarters is at 6348 Meldon Dr, Mentor, OH 44060 — close enough to respond when lake-effect weather or a summer storm hits.
Mentor sits on the Lake Erie snowbelt. Freeze–thaw cycles, lake wind, and heavy wet snow wear on shingles, flashing, siding, and gutters. Older ranch and split-level homes across Mentor need roofs and exteriors that shed water and stay fastened through winter.
We handle roof repairs and roof replacement for Mentor homeowners — from storm-damaged shingles to full tear-offs. If you’re comparing a repair against a replacement after wind or hail, we’ll walk the roof and explain what we find in plain language.
Warped, loose, or hail-bruised siding lets moisture in and drives up energy use. We replace and repair siding so your Mentor home stays sealed against lake wind and driving rain.
Clogged or undersized gutters dump water at the foundation — a common issue after snowmelt and spring storms in Lake County. We install and repair gutter systems sized for local rainfall.
After a storm, we inspect for missing shingles, bruised mats, lifted flashing, and damaged siding. We’ll outline repair vs. replacement options. Financing is available for qualifying projects. Licensed and insured, with a 10-year workmanship warranty on our labor.
From our Mentor HQ we also serve Willoughby, Painesville, Eastlake, Wickliffe, Willoughby Hills, and communities throughout Lake County.
