Roof Replacement in Columbus and Central Ohio

If your roof is past patching, curling at the edges, or showing daylight in the attic, a full replacement resets the clock and stops small leaks from becoming ceiling repairs. Start with our Estimate Builder to get a preliminary online estimate based on your roof size and material choice, or call (614) 382-0000 to book a walk-through with our roofing team.

Is this what you’re seeing?

• Shingles that are cracked, cupped, or missing after a wind event
• Granules collecting in gutters or at the base of downspouts
• A roof that’s 20+ years old and never been replaced
• Daylight, water stains, or musty smell in the attic
• A home inspection report flagging the roof before a sale
• An insurance adjuster who already noted storm damage on the report
• Sagging rooflines or visible dips when you look at the house from the street
• Ice buildup along the eaves every winter that never seems to fully go away

Honest pricing

Roof replacement cost depends on roof size (measured in squares), pitch, layer removal, decking condition, and material (architectural shingle, metal, or other options). We do not price a full roof replacement over the phone or online without seeing the roof. What you get from the Estimate Builder is a preliminary online estimate range based on square footage and material tier you select. Final scope and price subject to verification once we’ve measured the roof, checked the decking, and confirmed what your local jurisdiction requires for permits. Steep pitches, multiple layers of old shingles, and rotted decking all change the number, and we’ll walk you through exactly why before any work starts. Two homes with the same square footage can end up with different quotes once we account for chimney count, valley complexity, and how many layers of old roofing need to come off first.

What’s included / what’s not included

Typically included:
– Tear-off of existing roofing material
– Inspection of decking and replacement of rotted boards (priced separately once found)
– New underlayment and ice-and-water shield in valleys and eaves
– New shingles or chosen material, installed to manufacturer spec
– Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
– Site cleanup and magnetic nail sweep

Typically not included unless added to scope:
– Gutter replacement (available as an add-on)
– Skylight replacement
– Structural framing repair beyond deck boards
– Permit fees, which vary by municipality (permits and inspections may be required)

Why Central Ohio roofs wear out the way they do

Central Ohio roofs deal with real freeze-thaw cycles: water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and turns a minor issue into a leak within a season or two. Neighborhoods like Clintonville, Hilltop, and Whitehall have a lot of housing stock from the 1950s through 70s, and many of those original or second-generation roofs are well past their expected life. Mature tree canopy in these older neighborhoods also means more granule loss from debris and moss growth on north-facing slopes. Newer builds in Dublin, New Albany, and Lewis Center are younger, but even builder-grade shingles can underperform in wind events, and homeowners there often call us after a storm rather than for age-related wear.

4. Permitting. Permits and inspections may be required depending on your municipality. We handle the paperwork.
5. Installation. Tear-off, deck repair as needed, underlayment, and new roofing, usually completed in one to a few days depending on size and weather.
6. Final walk-through. We review the finished roof with you and confirm everything matches the agreed scope.
