A replacement starts with the decking, not the shingles. We strip the roof to the boards, replace anything soft, and only then talk about what goes back on. Dublin, Hilliard, New Albany and Lewis Center are largely 1990s and 2000s subdivisions — steeper pitches, more valleys, more roof for the same square footage. Clintonville, German Village and Bexley are much older, with steep slate-era pitches and historic-district rules that change what can go back on. That mix is why we quote after walking the roof: two houses on the same street can need very different work once the old layers come off.

What the work involves

Roof Replacement in Columbus

Tear-off, not an overlay

Laying new shingles over old hides the decking and traps heat, which shortens the life of what you just paid for. We take it back to the boards so we can see what we are working with.

Decking and ventilation

Soft decking gets replaced before anything goes over it. Intake and exhaust ventilation get sized while the roof is open — it is the easiest moment to fix airflow and the most expensive one to skip.

Materials

Architectural asphalt shingles for most homes, impact-resistant where hail is a recurring problem, and metal or a low-slope system where the roof calls for it. We quote what the roof needs.

The finish

New underlayment, ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, new flashing at every penetration. Old flashing caulked back into place is the most common leak we get called out to.

Replacing a roof here

Open ground, one build era, and what that changes

Central Ohio's wind and the age of its suburban ring decide more about a replacement here than the shingle does. Four things we handle differently.

Wind resistance is a nailing pattern, not a product

A shingle's wind rating assumes it was fastened the way the manufacturer specifies: the right number of nails, placed in the nailing strip, driven flush. High nails and four-nail patterns are quicker, and they are why shingles lift on the first serious gust across open ground.

We fasten to the specification the rating depends on, and take it up a step on exposed elevations. It costs a little labour and nothing in material.

A whole subdivision reaches the end at once

Dublin, Hilliard, New Albany and Lewis Center went up in runs, so the builder-grade covering on a whole street is the same age within a season or two. When one roof starts failing, the neighbours usually are as well.

That is worth knowing for scheduling rather than as pressure: it is a reason to book before the first hail run of the spring, when every crew in the county is already committed.

Shallow pitches are a different assembly

The porches, bump-outs and rear additions on newer builds are frequently much shallower than the main roof. Below a certain pitch a shingle is the wrong covering — water does not shed fast enough and wind drives it back up the laps.

Those sections get a low-slope system rather than the same shingle carried around the corner, and the quote separates them so you can see which is which.

Ridge vent on an exposed ridge

A ridge running across flat, open ground takes wind-driven rain and snow at an angle a sheltered ridge never sees. An unbaffled vent on that ridge lets weather in, and it shows up later as attic staining nobody connects back to the vent.

Baffled vent, with intake at the eaves sized to match it. Exhaust without intake pulls its air from the house instead, which is how a new roof still cooks a deck.

Good to know

Common questions

How long does a replacement take?

A simple ranch is usually a single day. A larger two-storey with a complex roofline runs two to three. Weather moves the schedule and we tell you when it does.

Do I need a full replacement or a repair?

The free inspection answers it. Age, the state of the decking and how widespread the damage is decide it, and we will say when a repair is the honest answer.

What does the Columbus weather do to a roof?

Central Ohio takes a run of hail most springs, and the flat ground gives wind a clear path across new subdivisions where there is little mature tree cover to break it up.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. The inspection and the written quote are free and carry no obligation, and nobody will lean on you afterwards.

Do you cover my part of Columbus?

We work across Central Ohio from our Galloway office. If you are not sure whether your street is in, call (614) 812-0811 and ask — it takes a minute.
