This directory holds a single roofing listing for Ranson, West Virginia. It is an address and contact record — no Google rating has been matched to it.
The listing is recorded in Jefferson County. Roofing permits and inspections are issued locally rather than by the state, so a re-roof in Ranson goes through Jefferson County or the municipality's own building department, whichever holds jurisdiction at the property.
Hiring a roofer in Ranson: what this page knows
West Virginia requires a state contractor license once a project reaches $5,000; below that a Ranson job needs no state license but still needs a local permit. The West Virginia roofing license rules explain the threshold and where it stops applying.
West Virginia's peak severe-weather season: May–August for thunderstorms, December–March for winter. The West Virginia storm center lists any National Weather Service alert active right now. NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 124 severe-weather events for Jefferson County between 2016 and 2026 — the county the listings on this page put Ranson in. The most recent event meeting the dataset's severity definition was a hail report measuring 2.00 in (Baseball) on July 28, 2026, a preliminary report that has not yet been through NOAA's quality-control review.
We have not modeled a cost index for Ranson. The national baseline puts a full roof replacement at $5,625–$27,000 and a repair at $250–$3,500; local labor, permit fees and access move both.

Licensing for roofers working in Ranson
West Virginia does not license roofers as a trade at every job size. A state contractor credential becomes necessary once a project reaches $5,000, and it is issued by the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Board.
Below that figure a Ranson roofer needs no state license — but the threshold is about state licensure only. It never exempts the work from a permit and an inspection through Jefferson County or the city.

* The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.
Notable events in the archive
- May 3, 2021 -- Tornado (EF1) -- $100K property damage reported
- Jul 6, 2020 -- Thunderstorm Wind (65 kt gust) -- $50K property damage reported
- May 14, 2018 -- Hail (Baseball hail, 2.50 in)
Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.
Preliminary — not yet in the permanent archive
33 preliminary storm reports have been filed for Jefferson County since June 1, 2026: 32 thunderstorm wind events and 1 hail report. The largest hail in the window is 2.00 in (Baseball), reported July 28, 2026.
Preliminary reports covering 2026-05-31 onward come from National Weather Service storm reports filed as events occur. They have not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive, and individual reports may later be revised, combined or withdrawn. NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports.
What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported.
“Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.
The damage figure. $593,500 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Jefferson County over the period — a county total, not a figure for any one property, any one building or any one claim. NOAA records these figures as estimates made at the time of reporting. They are not adjusted for inflation, and they are frequently absent or zero — a zero means nothing was recorded, not that nothing was damaged.
Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
