BBB Torch Award Winner For Ethics
Recognized for honesty, integrity and trust.
Columbus roofs deal with a little of everything — spring hail that dents shingles and damages flashing, ice storms that coat a roofline in a way few materials handle well, and the freeze-thaw cycling that comes with a long central-Ohio winter. It adds up fast on a roof that isn't built to take it.

Columbus is the fastest-growing metro in Ohio, and the subdivisions that went up through the late nineties and two-thousands were finished with builder-grade three-tab shingles. Those shingles were specified to a construction budget, not to a lifetime. They are now twenty to twenty-five years old across entire neighborhoods at the same time, which is why a street in Hilliard or Grove City can go from fine to failing within a couple of seasons of each other. If your neighbors are suddenly getting roofs, that is not a coincidence and it is not a sales pitch.
Spring and early summer put a genuine severe storm season over central Ohio, and the hail that comes with it does something most homeowners never see. It does not punch holes. It bruises — crushing the mat beneath the shingle and knocking loose the granule layer that blocks UV. The roof looks completely ordinary from the driveway. Two or three summers later the exposed asphalt has dried out and cracked, and now there is a leak, long after the claim window quietly closed.
A fifteen-year-old roof in a newer Columbus suburb is not automatically healthy. We routinely find pipe boots already split, step flashing shorted where a wall meets the roof, and valleys that were closed-cut in a hurry. Those are production-building shortcuts, not storm damage, and they leak on exactly the same schedule. A free inspection will tell you which of the two you actually have.
Every roof we install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty — not a tier, not a promotion, not an add-on. We hold the BBB Torch Award for Ethics, which recognizes how a company treats its customers. In a market moving as fast as Columbus, a contractor who is still in business and still answering the phone in ten years is worth more than a discount today.
Yes — Columbus plus Dublin, Westerville, Hilliard, Gahanna, Grove City, Powell, Upper Arlington and New Albany.
Possibly. Subdivisions built at the same time were roofed with the same builder-grade shingles, so they reach end of life together. A free inspection tells you whether yours is actually failing or has good years left.
You usually cannot from the ground. Hail bruises the mat and strips granules without breaking the surface. It takes someone on the roof checking for soft spots and granule loss in the gutters.
Most asphalt shingle replacements run $11,000 to $17,000 depending on size, pitch, layers and decking condition. You get the number in writing before any work begins.
Columbus sits in flat, open Central Ohio, where spring and summer storm lines bring hail, straight-line winds and tornado warnings with little to slow them down. Wind damage — lifted tabs, missing shingles, peeled ridge caps — is the most common storm call we get here.
Winters add snow, ice and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that push water under worn shingles and build ice dams on poorly ventilated homes. A roof that made it through a summer storm with a few loose shingles often starts leaking by February.
We serve Franklin County and the fast-growing suburbs in Delaware, Licking, Fairfield and Union counties.
Columbus has grown fast, and a huge share of homes in Dublin, Hilliard, Westerville, Powell and Pickerington were built in the 1990s and 2000s. Many still wear the original builder-grade shingles, which are now curling, losing granules and leaking around vents. In-town neighborhoods like Clintonville, Bexley and German Village bring older, steeper roofs and multiple layers.
Every Columbus replacement gets a full tear-off, decking repair, ice and water protection, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, drip edge and ventilation sized to the attic — installed by certified crews and backed by our lifetime warranty.
Wind-lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, worn valleys and flashing leaks are the most common Columbus repairs. We tarp the roof the same day if water is coming in.
After hail, we photograph every bruise on the shingles and every dent in the gutters and vents so you know whether you have a claim before you call your insurer.
Columbus roof prices depend on roof size and pitch, tear-off layers, decking repairs, flashing work and the shingle line you choose.
You get a free on-roof inspection and a written, itemized quote.
Your Columbus estimate, install and follow-up come from our local Columbus team — real employees, not a call center.
Every roof we install is backed by a lifetime warranty, from the company that has been doing this since 1947.
