Serving homes from Shroyer Park to the Wilmington Pike corridor near Fraze Pavilion, with permitting run through Kettering's own building division rather than a county office.

Kettering is a fully built-out, 18.7-square-mile suburb with 27,602 housing units and almost no vacant land left for new construction, which means roofing demand here is driven almost entirely by replacement and storm damage rather than new builds. Homes clustered around Southeast Dayton, Walnut Hills, Shroyer Park, Oak Creek, and Eastmont date largely to the 1950s-1970s Dayton manufacturing boom, so a substantial share of original or once-replaced asphalt shingle roofs near Wilmington Pike and Far Hills Avenue are now 50-70 years old — right at or past the point where Montgomery County's frequent wind and hail events start compounding wear on old decking and flashing.
Unlike Trenton, where All Around ConstructionX is based and permits flow through the Butler County building office, roofing and structural repair work in Kettering falls under Section 1507 of the Ohio Building Code and is processed directly through the City of Kettering's own building division. That's a separate municipal inspection process from what governs neighboring Butler County communities, typically adding $150-$500 in regional permit fees and requiring contractors to coordinate inspections with a different office than the one used for jobs closer to home base — a detail that trips up out-of-town crews unfamiliar with Kettering's local code enforcement near Lincoln Park.
Drag the slider to compare a worn 1960s-era shingle roof near Shroyer Road against a completed tear-off and replacement.
What Kettering's permitting rules and building age mean for your budget and timeline.
A full asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement in the Cincinnati/Dayton region generally lands in the $9,500-$18,500 range, with most Kettering homes — modest three- and four-bedroom houses averaging $238,933 in sale price — falling into the $12,000-$15,500 mid-tier.
Metal roofing runs $7-$14 per square foot and is increasingly requested near Eastmont and Oak Creek for its ability to shed the region's snow loads, which approach 20 psf in a typical Miami Valley winter.
Because Kettering sits in Montgomery County, roofing permits under OBC Section 1507 are filed with the City of Kettering directly — a different office and inspection queue than the Butler County process used for our Trenton-area jobs, so timelines can vary by a few extra business days.
With last frost lingering into mid-April at Kettering's 750-1,090 foot elevation, we schedule tear-offs for fall or late spring to avoid brittle cold-weather shingles and the post-storm contractor backlog that follows Montgomery County hail season.
