The Youngstown-based exterior contractor overcame complex access challenges to deliver a custom roofing solution for one of the region's most treasured entertainment venues.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sam Boak, owner and president of Boak & Sons, Inc., has led the successful completion of a complex roofing renovation at the Warren Community Amphitheater, Trumbull County's most prominent outdoor entertainment venue. Located along the Mahoning River in downtown Warren, the amphitheater regularly hosts local and national performers, serving as a cultural cornerstone for the community.
Boak & Sons was selected for the project due to the company's unique ability to handle multiple roofing systems, including metal, TPO, and shingle roofing. With expertise across all three disciplines, Sam Boak's team was the only commercial exterior contractor in the region equipped to manage the scope of work in-house, ensuring consistent quality and seamless coordination throughout the job.
The project involved a complete removal of the existing shingle and TPO roofing down to the deck, followed by a rebuild using high-performance materials tailored to the structure's needs. The amphitheater's eaves were reconstructed and upgraded with new metal roofing panels to enhance both durability and visual appeal. All sheet metal components were custom-fabricated to fit the building's distinct architecture.
The steep, barrel-shaped sections of the roof could not be walked on, requiring the use of three different man lifts for safe and efficient access. Because materials could not be staged on the roof, Boak & Sons implemented careful planning to protect the surrounding finished grass, sidewalks, and public walkways while completing the project.
Boak & Sons collaborated with general contractor Milcam, Inc. to complete the renovation, overcoming logistical challenges with precision and care. The result is a newly restored roof system that will support the amphitheater's events and activities for years to come.
"I've made great memories at the amphitheater with friends and family over the years," said Sam Boak. "Being part of its preservation and improvement means a lot to me personally and all of us at Boak & Sons."
With the roofing project now complete, the Warren Amphitheater is prepared to host another vibrant season of concerts, performances, and community events in a refreshed and protected setting.
